Washer Safety

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 aft 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 kUled or seriously injured if you don't irnmediatel_ follow instructions.

You can be kifled or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

Aft 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. Ifthe 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.

[] Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is

moving.

[] Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to

the weather.

[] Do not tamper with controls. [] Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any

servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in

published user=repair instructionsthat you understand and have the skills to carry out.

[] See "Electrical Requirements" located in the installation

instructions for grounding instructions.

What's New Under the Lid?

Cleaning with Less Water

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. This may take several minutes before water is added. You will find a step-by-step description in the "Cycle

Status Lights" section.

You will hear the motor turn the basket in short pulses to thoroughly wet the load. 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.

For best performance, it is recommended to load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.

As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the garments will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not indicate that more garments 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.

Concentrated 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.

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 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.

Control Panel and Features

ECO MONITOR

Your washer is specially designed to conserve energy and water. Each cycle, along with any selected options,

will result in different energy usage. As you make your cycle and temperature selections, the Eco Monitor shows how

well you are saving energy. Adjust the temperature and spin speed within that cycle to improve energy usage. Using the

EcoBoost TM setting on a cycle can also be a one-touch way to improve your Eco Monitor rating on many cycles.

O POWER

Press to turn the washer on and off, or to cancel acycle.

WASH CYCLE KNOB Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your

washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles.

START/PAUSE/UNLOCK Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the cycle and unlock the lid. Press and hold 3 sec to cancel a

cycle. NOTE: if the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes

to unlock the lid.

CYCLE SETTINGS Whenyou select a cycle, its default settings will light up.

TEMP 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 in a Cool water wash, 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 press Soil Level, the cycle time (minutes) will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display and a different wash time will appear.

For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with the cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy

fabrics, press Soil Level to select more wash time, if needed. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press Soil

Level to select less wash time, if needed. Lower 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.

EST TiME REMAiNiNG DISPLAY 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.

Overloading, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.

CYCLE OPTIONS

DEEP CLEAN This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough stains. It will add additional agitation and soak time to

the cycle. DELAY WASH

If you would like to set your washer to start at a preferred time, select the Delay Wash option. You can use this

option to delay start of a wash cycle for up to 9 hours (depending on model). Press Delay Wash button once

to delay 1 hour. If you want a longer delay period, press and hold the button until your desired delay time (in hours)

shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display, up to 9H. Then press START/Pause/Unlock to set the delay.

The countdown to the wash cycle will show in the display window.

PRESOAK Use this option to add an extra soak period to any cycle when washing heavily soiled garments. You can adjust

the length of the soak period by changing the Soil Level. EXTRA RINSE

This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse to most cycles.

ECOBOOST"

The EcoBoost TM option allows you to increase your energy savings on your wash cycles. When this option is used,

the wash cycle will use slightly cooler wash water than the selected temperature. The indicated temperature will

not change.

FABRICSOFTENER Thisoptionmustbeselectedifusingfabricsoftener

O CYCLESTATUSLIGHTS

The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses

that are different from traditional washers.

SENSING sensingSoak Wash Rinse Spin Done When the START/Pause/Unlock button is pressed,

the washer will first perform a self-test on the lid lock mechanism. You will hear a click, the basket will make

a slight turn, and the lid will unlock briefly before locking again.

Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer will use short, slow spins to estimate the load size. These

sensing spins may take 2 to 3 minutes before water is added to the load and you may hear the hum of these spins. If the

sensing light is on, the washer is working properly. You will hear the motor turn the basket in short pulses to thoroughly

wet the load. The washer will then move the load briefly, pause to allow water to soak in to the load, and resume

adding water. This process may repeat until the correct amount of water has been added for the load. You may

also hear water flowing through the dispenser, adding detergent to the load.

NOTE: Avoid opening the lid during sensing. The sensing process will start over when the washer is

restarted. The sensing light may also come on during the Soak and Wash portions of the cycle. This is normal.

WASH

You will hear the motor and washplate moving the load. Unlike traditional washers, the load is not covered with water.

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. The motor sounds may change at different stages in the cycle. The wash

time is determined by the selected soil level.

RINSE

You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning

on briefly (short hum) to move the basket while filling. Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric Softener option was

selected. Some cycles use spray rinsing.

SPIN

The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper

water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.

DONE

Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove the load promptly for best results.

LID LOCK

To allow for proper load sensing and spinning,

the lid will lock and the Lid Lock light will turn on. This light indicates that the lid is locked

and cannot be opened. If you need to open the lid, press START/

Pause/Unlock. The lid will unlock once the washer movement has stopped. This may take several minutes if the load was spinning

at high speed. Press START/Pause/Unlock again to resume the cycle.

Using Your 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.

1, Sort and prepare your laundry

• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can pass under the washplate and become trapped, causing unexpected sounds.

• Sort garments by recommended cycle, water temperature, and colorfastness.

• Separate heavily soiled garments from lightly soiled.

• Separate delicate garments from sturdy fabrics.

• Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because heat can set stains into fabric.

• Treat stains promptly.

• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

• Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to garments during washing.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

f2, Add laundry products

Single-dose laundry packet, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals can be added to the basket prior to adding laundry.

NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer basket prior to adding laundry products. Always follow manufacturer's instructions.

Helpful Tips:

= When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load

evenly. See "Cycle Guide" for tips and more information on using the Bulky items cycle.

• Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when washing delicate or small items.

• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid damage to your garments.

For best performance, load garments in loose heaps evenly around the

washplate.Try mixing different sized garments to reduce tangling.

iMPORTANT: Garments need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

Using Laundry Product Dispensers

NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets, color-safe

bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals to

dispensers. They will not dispense correctly.

("4, Add HE detergent

Detergent tray

Add a measured amount of HE detergent into detergent tray. This

tray holds 3 oz. (89 mL). Do not overfill tray - adding too much detergent may cause detergent to be dispensed into the washer too early.

IMPORTANT: 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.

HELPFUL TIP: See "Washer Maintenance" for information on recommended method of cleaning washer dispenser trays.

Washer Maintenance

WATER iNLET HOSES

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent marker.

NOTE: This washer does not include inlet hoses. See the "installation Instructions" for more information.

WASHER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and Performing at its Best

1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE detergent manufacturer's instructions regarding the

amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended amount because that may increase the

rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.

2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better

job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.

3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-

causing residue.

Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer Read these instructions completely before beginning the

routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer Maintenance Procedure should be performed,

at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils
