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 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

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 intothe 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 instructions that you understand and

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Your new front-loading high efficiency washer, was designed

to conserve resources and lower your water and energy bills.

The washer is designed to determine and then provide the

amount of water needed for the best performance. The time

of operation may be greater for this new system than for a

conventional washer.

ELECTRONIC CONTROLS

Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are

a beginner or an expert.

AUTO TEMP CONTROL

ATC (Auto Temp Control) electronically senses and

maintains a uniform water temperature. ATC regulates

incoming hot and cold water. The ATC is automatically

turned ON when a cycle is selected. See "Cycle Guide."

[] ATC works for the wash temperature with Warm and Cold

settings.

[] The cold rinse temperatures depend on the cold water at

your faucet.

AUTO WATER LEVEL

Adjusting to the size of the load, this feature allows the

washer to use the minimal amount of water needed to clean

and rinse the clothes. With a low water level, you can obtain

the same results with smaller amounts of laundry products.

Because only the required amount of water is used, the

washer saves energy, too.

STAINLESS STEEL DRUM

The stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables

higher spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing

drying time.

SUSPENSION SYSTEM

To reduce washer "walk" and "off-balance" conditions,

your new washer combines:

[] 2 Springs to isolate vibration

[] 2 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize

movement

DYNAMIC BALANCE

A precision balancing system allows the washer to reach

high-speed spins. The washer spins faster so that clothes

coming out of the washer will have less moisture than with

traditional top load washers. In addition, if the Dynamic

Balance system detects off-balance loads during spinning,

it redistributes the clothes so that they are evenly balanced.

ADAPTIVE VARIABLE SPEED MOTOR

The motor adapts to the load size and to the cycle

selected to give the optimum cleaning, rinsing, and spinning

conditions. The motor can handle slow speeds needed for

delicate items and is powerful enough to drive an average

clothes load up to high-speed spin.

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.

The Sensing status light comes on as the washer

automatically weighs items, then adjusts the Estimated

Time Remaining, based on the cycle selected.

When the Door Locked LED light illuminates, the door

is locked. The door is locked and unlocked automatically,

depending on the stage of the wash cycle. Press and

hold CANCEL/DRAIN for 3 seconds to unlock the door

manually. It will take approximately 1 minute for the door

to unlock. When the door is unlocked, the Draining/Unlocking

light illuminates.

The Prewash, Wash, Rinse, and Spin lights each come on as

the washer progresses through each cycle.

The Done status light stays on for 1 hour after the cycle is

complete. To power down the washer manually after the wash

cycle is complete, switch knob to the Off position.

CANCEL/DRAIN BUTTON

Press to turn the washer on and off.

Press to stop/cancel a cycle at any time.

O ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING

The cycle times vary automatically based on your water

pressure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load.

The cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the

load is unbalanced. The oversuds routine removes extra suds

and ensures proper rinsing of your garments. The options you

select will also affect the cycle times that are shown in the

"Cycle Guide." The Estimated Time Remaining can change

to much longer times under extreme conditions.

OPTIONS

You can customize your wash by adding options to your cycle

selections. Not all options are available with all cycles.

[] If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for

that option will illuminate when selected.

[] If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will

be a blinking light. The light for that option will not illuminate

when selected.

Delay Start

Use this to begin the wash cycle later.

[] Select DELAY START until the desired time (in hours)

shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display.

[] Select START. The countdown to the wash cycle will

show in the display window.

Prewash

Prewash is an 18-minute soak phase that is added before

the main wash. During prewash, there is only a small

amount of tumbling.

2nd Rinse

A second rinse can be used to aid in the removal

of detergent or bleach residue from garments. This

option provides an additional rinse with the same water

temperature as in the normal rinse. You may select or

deselect by pressing 2ND RINSE.

Wrinkle Prevent

Use this option to increase the quantity of incoming water

and decrease the spin speed and duration in the rinse

period. The last spin phase will have a lower spin speed

and last a shorter time.

Max Extract

Use this option to increase the final spin period by

1 minute during the final spin.

Low Spin

Each cycle has a preset spin speed. To reduce the final

spin speed, press the LOW SPIN button.

Temp Level

Each cycle has a preset water temperature setting. To

change the water temperature, press the TEMP LEVEL

button until the desired setting is illuminated.

Select a water temperature based on the type of load

you are washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for

fabrics. Follow garment label instructions.

The water temperature for all rinse cycles is cold. Cold

rinses save energy.

START BUTTON

Press and hold to start a cycle, or press once while a cycle

is in process to pause it.

WASH CYCLE KNOB

Turn the Wash Cycle knob to select a cycle for your laundry

load. See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles

that best suit your load.

O SMART DISPENSE DRAWER

The three compartments in the dispenser allow loading

of all laundry products before the washer is started. The

products will be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time

for high-performance cleaning. The bleach release system is

included in the detergent advantage system. The detergent is

added at the beginning of the cycle, and the bleach is added

after the enzymes have had a chance to do their cleaning.

The fabric softener is dispensed inthe rinse cycle or in the

2ND RINSE, if selected. The Detergent Advantage System

Dispenser tray is easily removed for cleaning.

Dispenser Release Lever

High Efficiency "HE" detergent compartment

Add liquid or powdered HE detergent to this

compartment for your main wash cycle.

[] Powdered color-safe bleach may be added to this

compartment along with powdered HE detergent.

Liquid chlorine bleach compartment

Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid chlorine

bleach at the optimum time during the first rinse

after the wash cycle. This compartment cannot dilute

powdered bleach.

Liquid fabric softener compartment

Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid fabric

softener at the optimum time in the cycle.

[] Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.

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 non-HE detergent. Using non-HE

detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced

rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and,

over time, build-up of 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 HighEfficiency

(HE)detergent.

CYCLE GUIDE

Choose Wash Cycles by rotating the Cycle Selector Knob to the desired cycle. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric and

soil levels.

[] Each cycle has a default cycle time and temperature level, and may have preset options. The preset settings provide the

recommended fabric care for the selected cycle.

[] The preset settings can be changed anytime before START is pressed. Not all options and modifiers (temperature level,

spin options) are available with all cycles. Press and hold START (for approximately 3 seconds) to continue 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.

De 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.

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 non-HE detergent. Using non-HE

detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced

rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and,

over time, build-up of 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 Efficiency (HE)detergent.

First wash cycle without laundry

Before washing clothes for the first time, fill the HE liquid

dispenser cartridge and install in the dispenser drawer. Choose

the RAPID WASH cycle and run it without clothes. Use only

HE detergent. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is

clean and the dispenser drawer is ready for use before washing

clothes.

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and

colorfastness. Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.

Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. Treat stains

promptly and check for colorfastness by testing stain remover

products on an inside seam.

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.

IMPORTANT:

[] Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object

can plug pumps and may require a service call.

[] Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and

remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

[] Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items

during washing.

[] Turn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers

from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will

pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

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 or hot water washes 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 door slightly ajar between uses

to help dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of

odor-causing residue.

Cleaning Your Front 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

and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer.

be in a fully upright position.

GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS

For a grounded, cord-connected washer:

This washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction

or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical

shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric

current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an

equipment=grounding conductor and a grounding plug.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is

properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are

in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if itwill

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

For a permanently connected washer:

This washer must be connected to a grounded metal,

permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and

connected to the equipment=grounding terminal or lead

on the appliance.
