What’s New Under the Lid?
Cleaning with Less Water
Washplate
Washplate
Traditional agitator-style
washer
The most striking difference in your new washer is the low-water
washplate wash system. The washer automatically adjusts the
water level to the load size—no water level selector is needed.
Low-water washer
Automatic Load Size Sensing
Once you start the cycle, the lid will lock, and the washer will
begin the sensing process to determine the correct water level
for the load.
Initially the basket will start to spin prior to adding water, this is
part of the sensing process and is normal. This low-water wash
method uses less water and energy compared to a traditional
agitator-style washer.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be
marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates
excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using
regular detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and
reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component
failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made
to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount
of detergent to use, and do not go over the Max line. See
“Using Laundry Product Dispensers” for more information.
For best performance, it is recommended to load items in loose
heaps evenly around the washplate.
As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the
items will settle in the basket. This is normal and does not
indicate that more items should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water
as with your past agitator-style washer. It is normal for some
of the load to be above the water line.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Improved Cleaning
Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather
than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer,
this washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils. This low
water wash also allows the clothing to move in a more effective
way to remove soils.
Normal Sounds You Can Expect
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and
noises that are different from those of your previous washer.
For example, you may hear a clicking and hum at the beginning
of the cycle as the lid lock goes through a self-test. There will
be different kinds of humming and whirring sounds as the
washplate moves the load and as basket is slowing down to
stop. And sometimes, you may hear nothing at all as the washer
determines the correct water level for your load or allows time
for clothes to soak.

NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your finger. To ensure your selections are
registered, touch the control panel with your finger tip, not your fingernail. When selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name
until the desired section is illuminated.
POWER BUTTON
1
Touch to turn the washer On. Touching once while the

WHAT TO WASH/HOW TO WASH
First select a cycle from the “What to Wash” and then
select the “How to Wash” to get the best combination
cycle available for the type of items you are going to
wash. See “Cycle Guide” for cycle details.
3
START/PAUSE BUTTON
Touch and hold START/PAUSE to begin the selected cycle;
touch again to pause a cycle.
4
LED TIME/STATUS DISPLAY
4
The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time
required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load
size and water pressure may affect the time shown in
the display. Tightly packed loads, unbalanced loads, or
excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle
time, as well.
If you have set a delay start to the cycle, the Estimated
Time Remaining display will show the delay time adjusted.
When the cycle is complete, the Done indicator will light
until the lid is opened.
ADD GARMENT
When Add Garment is lit, you may pause the washer,
open the lid, and add items. Touch and hold START to
start the washer again.

OPTIONS
You may add or remove options for each cycle. Not all
options can be used with all cycles, and some are preset
to work with certain cycles.
DELAY START
Touch Delay Start to delay the start of the wash cycle up
to 12 hours “12H”. Touch Delay Start until a “0H” appears
in the status display to turn off, or touch POWER.
END BEEP
Use this to turn the signal indicating the end of a wash
cycle to low, medium, high, or off.
NOTE: You may also adjust the tones that sound when a
feature, setting, or option is touched. Touch and hold End
Beep for about 3 seconds to turn key activation sounds to
low, medium, high or off.
STEAM CLEAN (depending on model)
The Steam Clean option adds additional soak and wash
time to many cycles to help remove tough stains, as well
as a steam boost for added cleaning power. Steam Clean
uses a heater within the washer to maintain the selected
temperature setting throughout the wash period. Steam
Clean may be selected as an option with other cycles.
DEEP CLEAN (depending on model)
This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough
stains. It will add additional agitation and soak time to
the cycle.
CLEAN BOOST (depending on model)
This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough
stains. It will add additional agitation and soak time to
the cycle.
UTILITY TOOLS
Clean Washer
Use this every 30 washes to keep the inside of your
washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water
level. Use with affresh® Washer Cleaner tablet or liquid
chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your
washer. This cycle should not be interrupted. See
“Washer Care.”
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items
in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this
cycle with an empty wash tub.
Rinse & Spin
Combines a rinse and high speed spin for loads
requiring an additional rinse cycle or to complete
a load after power interruption. Also use for loads
that require rinsing only.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
PRESOAK
Use this option to add an extra soak period to any cycle
to help loosen tough stains. The washer will fill and then
pause to soak, and then begin the selected cycle.
CYCLE MODIFIERS
65
When you select a cycle, its default settings or the previous
cycle selection used will light up.
TEMPERATURE
Temperature Control senses and maintains uniform
water temperatures by regulating incoming hot and
cold water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results and following
the garment label instructions, use the warmest wash
water safe for your fabric.
• On some models and cycles, warm and hot water will
be cooler than what your previous washer provided.
• Even for cold wash settings, some warm water
may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.
SOIL LEVEL
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.
As you touch 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.
Select the most suitable setting for your load. For heavily
soiled items, select Heavy Soil Level for more wash
time. For lightly soiled items, select Light Soil Level for
less wash time. Lighter soil level setting will help reduce
tangling and wrinkling.
SPIN SPEED
This washer automatically selects the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be
changed. Not all spin speeds are available with all cycles.
• Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
• Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.
7
LID
The Lid Lock ( ) indicator lights up
when the lid is locked and cannot be
opened. If you need to open the lid,
touch and hold START/PAUSE. The lid
will unlock once the washer movement
has stopped. This may take several
minutes if the load was spinning at
high speed. Touch and hold START/PAUSE
button again to restart the cycle.
