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

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

mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility

and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the

ground path is adequate.

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 it will

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.

Select a normal cycle and press Start. Allow it to complete

one whole cycle.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

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

gentlewash TM High-Efficiency Wash System

Your new top loading, high-efficiency washer saves you time by

allowing you to do fewer, larger loads. It also conserves

resources and also lowers your water and energy bills by using

the following innovations.

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.

NOTE: You may notice during a cycle that the wash load is not

completely submerged in water. This is normal for your washer.

Auto Temperature Control (ATC)

The Auto Temperature Control (ATC) on this washer electronically

senses and maintains a uniform water temperature by regulating

incoming water temperatures. Using ATC will help dissolve

detergent.

INVIZIBLE TM Agitator

Your new washer works differently than most washers that you

are accustomed to. The most striking difference is that the

washer has an invisible agitator. It uses this new innovative

agitator at the bottom of the wash basket to move your load

through a mixture of water and detergent. The load is moved

from the outside toward the middle with items coming up in the

center and down on the outside edges.

Dispensers

The dispensers make your washer truly automatic. It is

unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to

add detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.

Laundry additives are added to the load at the proper time in the

wash cycle.

Spin Speeds

This washer is preset to automatically select the spin speed

based on the cycle selected. Depending on your wash load, you

can change the preset speeds. The spin speed on this washer is

nearly twice as fast as that of a conventional washer. You may

notice different sounds during a spin cycle because of this higher

rate of speed.

Stain Treat (CATALYST _ Cleaning Action)

The Stain Treat option helps to ensure better soil and stain

removal. Stain Treat reduces the need for pretreatment and is

safe for all fabrics. Water flushes through the dispenser to

dissolve the detergent. The detergent mixture is then sprayed

onto the 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.

High Efficiency (HE) Detergent

This washer is designed for High Efficiency (HE) detergent use

only. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of

suds and give the best performance in low water wash systems.

Innovative Features

Your new washer includes these features that help to reduce

noise, increase the ease of use and improve wash performance.

Electronic Controls

Electronic controls with preset cycles are easy to use whether

you are a beginner or an "expert."

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 superior 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

Clean Washer Cycle

This washer features an easy-to-use Clean Washer cycle that

thoroughly cleans the inside of your washing machine using

higher water volumes in combination with liquid chlorine bleach.

Stainless Steel Basket

The stainless steel basket is corrosion resistant and enables

higher spin speeds for more water extraction, 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.

Save Energy Plus Option

The Save Energy Plus option allows you to increase your energy

savings on the higher temperature cycles (Whitest Whites and

Heavy Duty) while maintaining cleaning performance by

lengthening the wash time by only approximately 5 minutes.

Delay Start

Delay Start allows you to load your washer and pause the start of

the cycle for up to 13 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.

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are dampened

with gasoline or ether flammable fluids°

No washer can completely remove oi.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on

it (including cooking oils).

Doing so can reeuff 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.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergents. The package for this

type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency," HE

detergents such as TIDE ®HE are made to produce the right

amount of suds for the best performance in low water wash

systems, Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions to

determine the correct amount of detergent to use. Your washer's

new wash system will create too much sudsing if regular non-HE

detergent is used. Using regular detergent will likely result in

washer errors, longer cycle times and reduced rinsing

performance.

Whitest Whites

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 2nd 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. Stain

Treat is the default option for this cycle, but it may be turned off.

See "Changing Cycles, Modifiers and Options."

Normal

Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric loads.

Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin.

Casual/Wrinkle Free

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.

Express Wash

Use this cycle to wash a few lightly soiled items that are needed

in a hurry. This short cycle combines high-speed wash action and

high-speed spin for the best cleaning and shortened dry times.

Bulky/Bedding

This cycle is designed for oversized items that do not easily

absorb water, such as comforters, pillows and poly-filled jackets.

This cycle gently washes these nonabsorbent items in a preset

water level to avoid damage. This cycle starts with a soak to

thoroughly saturate your large item. This is followed by medium

wash action and medium spin speeds to maintain load balance.

NOTE: Due to the preset water level, using this cycle for items

other than those described above will create an unbalanced load.

Sheets/Towels

Use this cycle for sheets, pillowcases and towels. The wash

action of this cycle is designed to help keep large items from

tangling and bailing up.

IMPORTANT: For best performance, drop items in loose heaps

evenly around the basket wall. Do not load items directly on the

impeller for this cycle.

Darks/Colore

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/Handwash

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

items labeled as "Machine Washable Wool or Silk." (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.

Garments are labeled "Nandwash" 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/Drain & Spin

The Rinse & Spin and Drain & Spin cycles are selected with the

same button.

Rinse/Drain & Spin

Rinse & Spin

LAUNDRY TIPS

Preparing clothes for washing

Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of

your garments.

• Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergent, The package for

this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High

Efficiency." This wash system, along with less water, will

create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent,

Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors,

longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance, It may

also result in component failures and noticeable mold or

mildew. HE detergents such as TIDE ®HE are made to

produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.

Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions to

determine the amount of detergent to use.

• Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

• Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

• Treat spots and stains.

• Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best

results.

Sorting

• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if

they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers

(towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,

permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.

• Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from

noncolorfast items.

• Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate

items).

Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other

items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid

scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim

and ornaments.

Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.

Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.

Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.

Separate bulky, nonabsorbent items such as comforters,

pillows and poly-filled jackets. Use the Bulky/Bedding cycle

for these items.

Separate sheets, pillowcases and towels and use the

Sheets/Towels cycle for these items. For best performance,

drop items in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall and

do not load items directly on the impeller for this cycle.

Unloading

• Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed.

Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if

left in the washer basket for a long time.
