WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
Lid Lock _lll Sounds
To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and
the Lid Locked light will turn on. When this light is
lit, the lid is locked and cannot be opened. When
this light is blinking, the washer is paused. When
this light is off, the lid can be opened. After a cycle
is started, water will enter washer and then lock. If
you need to open the lid to add a garment after this
point, you must press START/Pause and wait for the
lid to unlock. The lid will only unlock after washer
movement has stopped. Depending on when in the
cycle you try to pause, it may take several seconds
to several minutes for the lid to unlock. Press START/
Pause to resume the cycle.
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may
hear sounds and pauses 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 agitator tests for load
balance or moves the load. And, sometimes,
you may hear nothing at all as the washer allows
time for clothes to soak.
®
Sensing
This washer will perform a series of spins to check
for load balance. During this time, a series of clicks
and a whirring noise signal that sensing technology
is determining if there is an off-balance load.
Spray Rinse
Select cycles default to a spray rinse. During these
cycles, you will hear water enter the washer as the
tub spins, allowing the rinse water to penetrate
clothes. Check the "Cycle Guide" for details.
iMPORTANT:
After the washer basket fills to the selected water level, the lid must be closed before the wash cycle can start.
If filling stops with the lid open, close lid and press START button.
Rinse option must be selected to 1 Rinse with Softener or 2 Rinses with Softener to ensure fabric softener

WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and
Performing at its Best
1. Always follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions
regarding the amount of 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

QUOI DE NEUF SOUS LE COUVERCLE?
Votre nouvelle laveuse fonctionne differemment de votre prec6dente laveuse de type agitateur.
Verrouillage du couvercle _llJ Bruits
Pour un essorage h plus haute vitesse, le couvercle
se verrouille et le temoin de verrouillage du
couvercle s'allume. Lorsque ce temoin lumineux
s'allume, cela signifie que le couvercle est verrouille
et ne peut _tre ouvert. Lorsque ce temoin lumineux
clignote, cela signifie que la laveuse effectue une
pause. Lorsque ce temoin lumineux est eteint,
cela signifie qu'on peut ouvrir le couvercle. Apres
le demarrage d'un programme, de I'eau penetre
dans la laveuse et celle-ci se verrouille. Si I'on dolt
ouvrir le couvercle pour ajouter un v_tement apres
cette etape, il faut appuyer sur START/Pause (mise
en marche/pause) puis attendre que le couvercle
se deverrouille.Le couverclese deverrouille
uniquementune foisque lemouvement de la
laveusea cesse.Selon lemoment oO I'onsouhaite
suspendreleprogramme, lecouverclepeutmettre
entre plusieurs secondes et plusieurs minutes a se _::-)k
deverrouiller. Appuyer sur START/Pause (mise en
marche/pause).
D_tection
La laveuse effectue une serie d'essorages pour
contr61er I'equilibre de la charge. Durant cette
periode, une serie de cliquetis et un bruit de
frottements rythmiques indiquent que la
technologie de detection determine si la charge
est des6quilibr6e.
Au cours de differents stades du programme
de lavage, vous entendrez peut-_tre des bruits et
pauses que votre laveuse prec6dente ne produisait
pas. Differents bourdonnements et bruits de
frottements rythmiques se produiront a mesure que
I'agitateur evalue I'equilibre de la charge et qu'il la
deplace. II est aussi possible que la laveuse soit
patrols completement silencieuse, Iorsqu'elle laisse
tremper les v_tements.
Ringage par vaporisation
Certains programmes utilisent I'option Rin(;age
par vaporisation par defaut. Au cours de ces
programmes, on entend I'eau pen6trer dans la
laveuse tandis que la cuve tourne, ce qui permet
I'eau de ringage de p6netrer les v@ements.
Consulter le "Guide de programmes" pour plus
de details.
IMPORTANT :
Apres que le panier de la laveuse se soit rempli jusqu'au niveau d'eau selectionn6, le couvercle doit _tre rabattu
pour que le programme de lavage puisse commencer. Si le remplissage s'arr_te alors que le couvercle est ouvert,
fermer le couvercle et appuyer sur le bouton START (mise en marche).
L'option de ringage doit _tre s61ectionnee sur 1 Rinse with Softener (ringage unique avec assouplissant) ou 2 Rinses
with Softener (double ringage avec assouplissant) pour que I'assouplissant pour tissu soit distribue au moment
adequat.
