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

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 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.

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.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install washer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the washer is within approximately
3 ft (90 cm) of its final location.
There are 4 bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the suspension system during
transportation. These bolts also retain the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are
removed.
1. Using a 13 mm wrench, loosen each of the bolts.
2. Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and completely pull out the bolt,
including the plastic spacer covering the bolt.

To test and to clean your washe_; measure V2the detergent manufacturer's recommended
amount of HE High Efficiency detergent for a medium-size load. Pour the detergent into
the detergent dispenser. Select NORMAI_/CASUAI., and then select HOI.D TO START.
Allow the washer to complete one whole cycle.
Use only HL High Lfficiency detergent.
Electronic Controls
Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert.
Smart Dispensers
The Smart Dispensers make your washer truly automatic. This washer provides a four-
compartment dispenser which includes separate compartments for main wash detergent,
fabric softenec bleach, and auto oxi prewash or auto soak. The dispenser has large pour
zones. The dispenser is self-cleaning, and can be easily removed. I.aundry products are
diluted with fresh water and added to the load at the proper time in the wash cycle.
Auto Water Level
This washer automatically adjusts water level for optimal cleaning and rinsing performance.
Two sensors determine load size, load composition, and suds level, then the sensors adjust
the water level to the proper setting. This eliminates guesswork. The water level is just right for
every wash load size.
Super Size Capacity
Since there is no agitatob you can wash largeb bulkier items such as a king-sized bedspread.
You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads.
Smooth Balance _M Balance System
To reduce washer "walk" and "off-balance" conditions, your new washer combines:
• 2 Springs to isolate vibration
• 4 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement
Commerical Quality Stainless Steel Drum
The commercial quality stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher spin
speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time compared to traditional front-load
washers.
High-Efficiency Wash System
Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with fewer, larger loads, and lowers
your water and energy bills by helping conserve resources.
Spin Speeds
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. This factory
setting can be changed, however. This washer offers up to five different spin speed choices.
Heating Element
This washer has a heating element that automatically heats the water to the optimal
temperature on select cycles. This enables stepped cleaning, a process in which warm water
is brought in and mixed with detergent first, then the water is heated. Stepped cleaning starts
the wash cycle with warm water to help remove stains (such as blood and grass). This heater is
active in the Sanitary, Whitest Whites and Heavy Duty cycles.
Automatic Temperature Control
The automatic temperature control electronically senses and maintains a uniform water
temperature. Automatic temperature control regulates incoming hot and cold water.
Automatic temperature control is automatically turned on when a cycle is selected.

When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle the Add A Garment status light will
glow for the first 8 minutes. This washer allows an 8-minute period in which other garments
may be added to a load.
Special Cleaning Action with Sensi-Care _m Wash System
This washer channels 100% of the water through the dispensers to assure thorough rinse-out
and mixture of all the laundry products before they touch any garments. The water is then
sprayed from the top front onto the center of the load, providing even distribution and
optimum cleaning performance. It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the
dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.
Efficient Detergent System
This washer has a specially designed valve that closes during the wash portion of the cycle so
that 100% of the water and detergent mixture is used on the load. The Efficient Detergent
System ensures that no water or detergent is wasted.
Dynamic Off-Balance Detection
This washer uses two sensors to detect load size and the amount of off-balance within the
load. The suspension system and controls are specially designed to redistribute the load
automatically.

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.
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 using your washer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual
for more detailed information.
Do not store laundry products on the top surface of this washer. Vibration is normal during
operation.
Use only High Efficiency detergents. 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 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 H_ High Uficiency detergent.
First Wash Cycle Without laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during the final installation step,
choose the Normal/Casual cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency
detergent. Use V2 the manufacturer's recommended amount for a medium-size load. This
initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.

Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with four separate compartments for your laundry
products--two are for detergent, one is for liquid chlorine bleach, and one is for liquid fabric
softener. I.aundry products are diluted and dispensed automatically at the proper time during
the wash cycle, making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to add
them.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispensers when the wash cycle is
complete.
I)o not put laundry products directly into the wash tub. Always use the proper dispensers
when adding laundry products.
Choosing the Right Detergent

Sanitary
Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This cycle combines a super hot water
temperature and fast-speed tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is
recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120°F (49°C) to ensure proper
performance during this cycle. Extra high speed spin helps shorten drying time.
Whitest Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled white fabrics with the addition of
bleach. Hot washing temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse provides
optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on your laundry. This cycle combines
fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying time.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and heavily soiled garments. This cycle
combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying
times. If the water temperature is lower than needed for this cycle, the heater will warm the
water to the optimum temperature.
Normal/Casual
Use this cycle to wash normally soiled cottons and linens. This cycle combines medium-
speed tumbling and high-speed spin.
Rapid Wash
Use this cycle to wash small loads of lightly soiled garments that are needed in a hurry. This
cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, a shortened wash time, and extra high speed spin to
shorten drying time.
Delicate
Use this cycle to wash no-iron fabrics and garments labeled "Permanent Press" or "Wrinkle
Free" or that indicate using a "Gentle" cycle on the care label. This cycle combines low-speed
tumbling and low-speed spin to help reduce wrinkling.
Silk
Use this cycle to clean washable silk garments. (Check label instructions to make sure that
garment is washable.) This cycle gently tumbles and drains without spinning to gently clean
garments and help minimize wrinkling. Because there is no spinning action, garments will
contain a higher amount of water at the end of this cycle.
Wool
Use this cycle to clean machine washable woolen garments. (Check the care instructions to
make sure that garment is washable.) This cycle features gentle tumbling and low-speed spin
to provide optimum garment care.
Handwash
Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care garments. Similar to the way garments
are hand washed in a sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of low-speed
tumbling and soaking. I.ow-speed spin helps reduce wrinkling.
Soak
Use the Soak cycle to remove small spots of set-in stains on fabrics. This cycle provides a soak
time with warm or cold water followed by drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal
distribution of the laundry, and a soaking time without drum movement improve the removal
of set-in stains. Drain without spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles.
Rinse/Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling and extra
high speed spin. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want
from the SPIN SPEED modifier.
A Rinse/Spin cycle is useful for
• I.oads that need rinsing only.
• Adding fabric softener to a load.
Drain/Spin
Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is
preset to extra high. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want
from the SPIN SPEED modifier.
NOTE: I.oads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, hand washables, and washable woolens should
be drained with no spin or low spin speed to avoid fabric stress.

selection.
You can select more than one option for a cycle. Some options cannot be added to some
cycles; for example, Oxi Prewash cannot be added to the Rapid Wash cycle.
If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that option will glow when
selected.
If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be a short tone, and the light
for that option will not glow when selected.
Oxi Prewash
Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need pretreatment. This option adds a 15-minute
Oxi Prewash and drain to the main wash cycle.
NOTES:
• Add Oxi or color safe products or / detergent to the Oxi Prewash and Main Wash
compartments of the Dispenser Drawer.
• When using Oxi Prewash, use powdered detergent for the Main Wash detergent
compartment because liquid detergent will seep into the washer during Auto Soak.
NOTE: The Oxi Prewash and Auto Soak options cannot be selected in the same cycle.
Auto Soak
Use the Auto Soak option for loads of heavily soiled cotton, linen, polyester or nylon with
stains. During Auto Soak, water will be added to the drum and the laundry will be equally
distributed by a short tumbling phase. I_aundry will then be soaked by phases without drum
movement. After soaking, the washer drains without spinning.
• Add detergent to both the Oxi Prewash and Main Wash compartments of the Dispenser
Drawer.
Normal Washer Sounds •
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not accustomed to. You may hear
various sounds when the door is locked and unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, and •
spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be momentary pauses. You
will hear water spraying and splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds •
and pauses are part of normal washer operation.
Use powdered detergent for the main wash cycle because liquid detergent will seep into
the washer during Auto Soak.
For cycles with Hot Wash Temperatures, the Soak temperature is set to WARM. Otherwise
the Soak temperature is the same as the Wash Temperature.
The Auto Soak and Oxi Prewash options cannot be selected in the same cycle.

Extra Rinse
An extra rinse can be used to ensure the removal of detergent or bleach residue from
garments. This option provides an additional rinse with the same water temperature as the first
rinse.
Rinse Hold
Use this option to help avoid wrinkling of your laundry when a load cannot be rernoved frorn
the washer immediately. The wash cycle is paused before the final drain and spin phase so
that the laundry stays in the rinse water until the cycle is continued. This provides optimal
wrinkle care of your wet laundry. The door stays locked during the Rinse Hold cycle and the
indicator light is flashing. Press RINSE HOI.I) to finish the cycle and unload the washen
Preset cycle settings of Soil I_evel (cycle time), Water Temperature, and Spin Speed can be

LAUNDRY TIPS
Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.
• Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked
"HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash system, along with less watec 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 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 HL High Lfficiency detergent.
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 wool and 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.
• Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, and load evenly.
• Wash small items, such as infant socks, in a mesh garment bag. To create a balanced load
it is recommended that more than one garment bag be used, and that each garment bag
be filled with equal amounts of material.
NOTE: If you are washing only small items, it is recommended that more than one mesh
garment bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.
