WASHERSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

[] Read all instructions before using the washer. [] Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned

in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive

substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

[] Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other

flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

[] Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been used

for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water

flow from each for several minutes. This will release

any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used

near children.

Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,

remove the door or lid.

mDo not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is

moving.

mDo not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to

the weather.

mDo not tamper with controls. mDo not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any

servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and

have the skills to carry out.

Close the lid. Press POWER. Select a normal cycle and press Start. Allow it to complete one whole cycle.

BENEFITSANDFEATURES

Your washer has several benefits and features that are summarized here. Some items may not apply to your model.

Electronic Controls Electronic controls with preset cycles are easy to use whether

you are a beginner or an "expert."

Auto Water Level

This washer senses the load size and composition through a series of fills and wash motion. It then adjusts the water level for the best cleaning and rinsing performance. It eliminates the guesswork. The water level is just right for every wash load size.

Care Control Temperature Management

The Care Control Temperature Management system on this washer electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature by regulating incoming water temperatures. Using Care Control will help dissolve detergent.

Deep Clean Cleaning Action

The Deep Clean option uses Direct Inject Cleaning Action to help ensure better soil and stain removal. Deep Clean reduces the need for pretreatment. The washer fills to a low level, wetting the clothes and dissolving the detergent. The detergent mixture is then sprayed onto the dry load while the washer spins at low speed. This cleaning action will last up to 5 minutes depending on the cycle selected. The washer then stops spinning, fills with water to the appropriate level and continues washing with the selected cycle.

Your new washer includes these features that help to reduce noise, increase the ease of use and improve wash performance.

Quiet Operation

This washer is insulated with sound-dampening materials to

reduce washer operation sounds and noises. On some models, an additional tub wrap is added for superb vibration- and sound- dampening.

Suspension System

To reduce washer "walk" and "out of balance" conditions, your

new washer combines:

• 4 Spring damper struts to isolate vibration

• Balance ring at the top and bottom of the wash basket to minimize vibration

• Operating software designed to sense and correct off- balance loads

Stainless Steel Basket

The stainless steel basket is corrosion resistant and enables

higher spin speeds for more water extraction than traditional top- load washers, reducing drying time.

Force Filter Wash/Rinse System

This washer filters 100% of the wash and rinse water. The water

is filtered then recirculated. The force filter traps sand and dirt, flushing them down the drain, so they are not redeposited onto

the clean clothes.

6th Sense TM Technology

6th Sense TM Technology features built-in intelligence that "knows each wash load" for optimal cleaning, fabric care and efficiency.

From weighing the size of the load to determining how much water is needed to clean it, the 6th Sense TM combination of intuitive features takes the guesswork out of clothes care. Three levels of off-balance protection and a suds detection sensor help

ensure worry- and error-free operation for further peace of mind.

Delay Wash (on some models) Delay Wash allows you to load your washer and pause the start

of the cycle for up to 8 hours.

End of Cycle Signal

The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the

wash cycle is finished. This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the washer as soon as it stops.

WASHERUSE

NOTE: Your washer model may vary from the model shown.

Pour measured powdered or liquid detergent into the detergent dispenser. Do not put detergent directly into the

wash tub or onto clothes in the washer.

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.

No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on

it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

The following is a guide to starting your washer. Periodic references to other sections of this manual provide more detailed

information.

This cycle introduces liquid chlorine bleach to the load at the proper time for improved whitening of your heavily soiled white fabrics. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin. The default option setting for this cycle is Extra Rinse to thoroughly remove detergent and bleach. For maximum soil and stain removal, liquid chlorine bleach should be used.

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle for heavily soiled cotton or sturdy items. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin. Deep Clean is the default option for this cycle, but it may be turned off. See "Changing Cycles, Modifiers and Options." Extra Rinse Cycle may be desired for heavily soiled clothes.

Normal

Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and linens, such as sheets, blankets and towels. This cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin.

Casual/Perm Press

Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press and blends. This cycle uses medium-speed wash action, a medium- speed spin and a cool down process to reduce wrinkling.

Colors/Darks

Use this cycle for dark or highly dyed natural fabrics such as jeans or other cotton items that may be susceptible to dye loss. This cycle uses low to medium-speed wash action and high-

speed spin. For best results use cold or warm water.

Delicate

Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled garments indicating

"Machine Washable Silks" or "Gentle" cycle on the care label. This cycle uses low-speed wash action and low spin speeds for

increased fabric care and less wrinkling.

When washing waterproof items, such as plastic-lined mattress

pads, shower curtains, tarpaulin (tarps) or waterproof or water-

resistant sleeping bags, use the Delicate or Handwash cycle with

the lowest spin speed setting available for the washer model that you have.

Handwash/Wool

Use this cycle to clean lightly soiled special care garments or for

items labeled as "Machine Washable Wool." (Check label

instructions to make sure that the garment is washable.) This

cycle uses intermittent-low speed wash action and low-speed

spin for the gentlest fabric care with less wrinkling.

When washing waterproof items, such as plastic-lined mattress

pads, shower curtains, tarpaulin (tarps) or waterproof or water-

resistant sleeping bags, use the Delicate or Handwash cycle with

the lowest spin speed setting available for the washer model that you have.

Garments are labeled "Handwash" because:

• The fiber construction may be sensitive to wash action.

• The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.

NOTE: Some "Handwash" items naturally shrink when washed.

Keep this in mind when you purchase items labeled "Handwash."

Items that shrink should be dried flat. When these items are still

wet, "block" them by gently stretching to the original

measurements.

Rinse & Spin

Use this option to get a deep rinse followed by a high-speed

spin. The time display will include an estimate of how long it will

take to fill and drain the washer. When to use Rinse & Spin:

• For loads that need rinsing only.

• For completing a cycle after the power has been off.

To use or change Rinse & Spin setting:

1. Turn knob to RINSE & SPIN until the Rinse & Spin indicator light glows.

2. Press START.

Drain & Spin

An extra drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy fabrics or special-care items. Drain & Spin may also be used for draining the washer after canceling a cycle or completing a cycle after a power failure.

To use or change Drain & Spin setting:

1. Turn knob to DRAIN & SPIN until the Drain & Spin indicator light glows.

2. Press START.

Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and save energy.

Soil Level Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. See "Preset

Cycle Settings" in "Cycles." As you press the Soil Level pad, the cycle time (minutes) will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display and a different wash time will appear. To get the minimum wash time, press the pad until the indicator light next to Light Soil Level illuminates. This is the shortest wash time available for that cycle.

SOILLEVEL

For most loads, use the time recommended in the preset cycle settings.

For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, press Soil Level to select more wash time, if needed.

For light soil and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select less wash time, if needed.

Load Size This washer automatically selects Auto for the water level when

the cycle is selected. The Auto feature senses the size of the load and adds the correct amount of water for the load size. You can

also manually change the water level settings.

Warm rinses leave the loads drier and more comfortable to handle than with cold rinses. However, warm rinses also increase

wrinkling. Cold rinses may help with wrinkling and save energy.

NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.

Care Control Temperature Management Care Control Temperature Management electronically senses and

maintains a uniform wash and rinse water temperature. Care Control regulates incoming hot and cold water and is automatically turned on when a cycle is selected. (See "Preset Cycle Settings" in "Cycles.")

Care Control is available with Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold and Cold/ Cold settings. The water temperature in the Hot/Cold setting depends on the water temperature at the water inlet faucets.

• Care Control ensures consistent cleaning.

• Today's detergents work well at temperatures above 60°F (15.6°C).
