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.
m 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.
m 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.

Your washer has several benefits and features that are summarized here. Some items may not apply to your model.
IntelliFill TM Water Level Control
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.
Auto Temp Control
The Auto Temp Control on this washer electronically senses and maintains a uniform water
temperature by regulating incoming water temperatures. Using Care Control will help
dissolve detergent.
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.
I.aundry products are added to the load at the proper time in the wash cycle.
Stain Cycle Cleaning Action
The Stain Cycle option uses Direct Inject Cleaning Action to help ensure better soil and stain
removal. Stain Cycle reduces the need for pretreatment. 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 10 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.
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 superb vibration- and
sound-dampening. The washer has an additional bottom sound pad that is included
separately for installation by the customer.
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
Stainless Steel Basket
The stainless steel basket is corrosion resistant and enables higher spin speeds for more water
extraction than traditional top-load washers, reducing drying time.
See-through Tempered Glass Lid with Solid Hold Lid Hinge (on some models)
Some models feature a see-through glass lid. Made of shatter-proof tempered glass, it shows
the deep cleaning action of the wash load inside. With the solid hold lid hinge, the large lid is
flexible enough to open completely and conveniently, and it won't snap or slam down.
Self-Clean Wash and Rinse Filter 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 clown the drain, so they are not redeposited
onto the clean clothes.
Delay Wash (on some models)
Delay Wash allows you to load your washer and pause the start of the cycle for up to 8 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.

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 Extra Rinse to thoroughly remove
detergent and bleach. For maximum soil and stain removal, liquid chlorine bleach should be
used.

cycle combines medium-high speed wash action and high-speed spin.
......iiiiiiii_
.....:"!9
Wrinkle Control
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.
Colors/Jeans
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
Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled garments indicating "Machine Washable Silks" or
"Gentle" cycle on the care label. This cycle uses low-speed wash action and low spin speeds
for increased fabric care and less wrinkling.
When washing waterproof items, such as plastic-lined mattress pads, shower curtains,
tarpaulin (tarps) or waterproof or water-resistant sleeping bags, use the Delicate or Handwash
cycle with the lowest spin speed setting available for the washer model that you have.
Handwash
Use this cycle to clean lightly soiled special care garments or for items labeled as "Machine
Washable Wool." (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.

tarpaulin (tarps) or waterproof or water-resistant sleeping bags, use the Delicate or Handwash
cycle with the lowest spin speed setting available for the washer mode[ that you have.
Garments are labeled "Handwash" 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.

LAUNDRY TIPS
Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.
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.
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).
When washing waterproof items, such as plastic-lined mattress pads, shower curtains,
tarpaulin (taps) or waterproof or water-resistant sleeping bags, use the Delicate or
Handwash cycle with the lowest spin speed setting available for the washer mode[ that
you have.
