WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Cleaning with Less Water

Impeller

Traditional agitator-style

washing machine

Washer with low-water

impeller wash system

English

The most striking difference in your new washer is the low-water impeller wash system. The washer automatically adjusts the water level to the load size—no water level selector is needed.

When loading the washer with dirty laundry, ll it evenly around the basket wall. 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. This may take several minutes.

The impeller moves the load through the water while using less water and energy compared to a traditional agitator-style washer.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” 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.

Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.

Water is added to the load while the basket turns slowly. As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of clothes will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not indicate that more clothes should be added.

IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water like with your past agitator-style washer.

H2Low™ Concentrated Cleaning

The H2Low low-water cleaning system means concentrated cleaning. Rather than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer, this washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils.

Normal Sounds You Can Expect

At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds that are different from those of your previous washer. For example, you may hear a clicking 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 impeller moves the load. 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.
