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 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.
[] 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
have the skills to carry out.
[] See "Electrical Requirements" located in the installation
instructions for grounding instructions.

WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Cleaning with Less
Traditional agitator-style
washer
Washer with low-water
washplate wash system
The most striking difference inyour new washer is the low-water
washplate wash system. The washer automatically adjusts the
water level to the load size--no water level selector is needed.
When loading the washer, fill it evenly around the basket wall.
INTELLIFILL TM
D ter Level Control
Once you start the cycle, the lid will lock, and the washer will
begin the sensing process to determine the correct water level
for the load. This may take several minutes before water is
added. You will find a step-by-step description in the "Cycle
Status Lights" section.
You will hear the motor turn the basket in short pulses to
thoroughly wet the load. This low-water wash method uses
less water and energy compared to a traditional agitator-style
washer.
Auto Temperature Control
Auto Temperature Control (ATC) electronically senses and
maintains a uniform wash and rinse water temperature. ATC
regulates incoming hot and cold water. The ATC is automatically
turned on when a cycle is selected.
ATC is available with Warm/Cold and Cool/Cold settings. The
water temperature in the Hot/Cold and Cold/Cold settings
depends on the water temperature at the water inlet faucets.
m ATC ensures consistent cleaning.
m Heated water consumes the largest amount of energy that
a washer uses.
As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the
clothes will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not
indicate that more clothes should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water
as with your past agitator-style washer.
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 regular non-HE detergent. Using
regular detergent will likely result in 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 High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Concentrated Cleaning
Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather
than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer,
this washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils.
Normal Sounds You Can Expect
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and
noises 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
washplate moves the load. And sometimes, you may hear
nothing at all, as the washer determines the correct water level
for your load or allows time for clothes to soak.
3
CONTROL P EL FEATURES
Not all features and cycles are available on all models.
ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING DISPLAY
The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time
required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size
and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display.
Tightly packed, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may
cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.
O POWER/CANCEL BUTTON
Pressto turn the washer ON or OFF.
WASH CYCLE KNOB
Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your
washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load.
See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles.
START/PAUSE BUTTON
Press to start the selected cycle. Be sure all desired
Modifiers and Options have been selected. Press START/
PAUSE once to unlock the lid and add a garment. Press to
complete the cycle from where it was stopped. The lid must
be closed for the washer to start.
CYCLE MODIFIERS
When you select a cycle, its default modifiers will light up.
Not all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all
models.
WASH TEMP/RINSE TEMP
Auto Temperature Control senses and maintains uniform
water temperatures by regulating incoming hot and cold
water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results and following
the garment label instructions, use the warmest wash
water safe for your fabric.
• Warm and hot water may be cooler than what your
previous washer provided.
• Even in a Cool water wash, some warm water may
be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.
SPIN SPEED
This washer automatically selects the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can
be changed. Not all spin speeds are available with
all cycles.
• Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but
may increase wrinkling in your load.
• Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will
leave your load more damp.
4
O
SOIL LEVEL
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. As
you press Soil Level, the cycle time (minutes) will increase
or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display and
a different wash time will appear. For most loads, use the
Soil Level that is preset with the cycle you have chosen.
For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL
to select more wash time, if needed. For lightly soiled and
delicate fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL to select less wash
time, if needed. Lower Soil Level setting will help reduce
tangling and wrinkling.
CYCLE OPTIONS
When you select a cycle, its default options will light up. Not
all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all models.
WATER SAVE SPRAY RINSE
Use this option to save water by using a spray rinse
instead of a deep water rinse. This option is the default
setting on some cycles, and selectable on other cycles.
When using fabric softener, always select the Fabric
Softener button, or select Extra Rinse; both of these
options will dispense fabric softener in a deep rinse.
FABRIC SOFTENER
This option must be selected if using fabric softener
during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added
at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
END SIGNAL
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds
at end of cycle. You may select Hi, Low, or Off (no
indicator lit). A louder signal is helpful in removing items
as soon as cycle is complete.
You may also add or remove options for each cycle. Not all
options can be used with all cycles, and some are preset to
work with certain cycles.
O
LID LOCK
To allow for proper load sensing and spinning, the lid will
lock and the Lid Lock light will turn on. This light indicates
that the lid is locked and cannot be opened.
start
if you need to open the lid, press START/
PAUSE.The lid will unlock once the washer
movement has stopped. This may take
several minutes if the load was spinning
at high speed. Press START/PAUSE again pause
to resume the cycle.
O
CYCLE STATUS LIGHT iNDiCATORS
fill wash rinse spin done
a add a garment
U c[ean washer reminder
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.
FILL
When the Start/Pause button is pressed, the washer
will first perform a self-test on the lid lock mechanism.
You will hear a click, the basket will make a slight turn,
and the lid will unlock briefly before locking again.
Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer
will use short, slow spins to estimate the load size.
These sensing spins may take 2 to 3 minutes before
water is added to the load and you may hear the
hum of these spins. If the Fill light is on, the washer
is working properly. You will hear the motor turn the
basket in short pulses to thoroughly wet the load. The
washer will then move the load briefly, pause to allow
water to soak in to the load, and resume adding water.
This process may repeat until the correct amount of
water has been added for the load. You may also hear
water flowing through the dispenser, adding detergent
to the load.
NOTE: Avoid opening the lid during the Fill portion of
the cycle. The sensing process will start over when the
washer is restarted. The Fill light may also come on
during the Wash portion of the cycle. This is normal.
WAS H
You will hear the motor and washplate moving the load.
Unlike traditional washers, the load is not covered with water.
Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather
than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer,
this washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils. The
motor sounds may change at different stages in the cycle.
The wash time is determined by the selected Soil Level.
RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer
rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning
on briefly (short hum) to move the basket while filling. Fabric
softener will be added if the Fabric Softener option was
selected. Some cycles use spray rinsing.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper
water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.
DONE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove
the load promptly for best results.
ADD A GARMENT
You may place additional clothing in the wash when
the Add a Garment indicator light is glowing without
sacrificing wash performance. Press START/Pause once.
The Lid Lock light will turn off. Open the washer lid, add
garments and close the lid. Press START/Pause to restart.

This cycle combines high-speed wash
action with the Max Extract spin speed.
The Water Save Spray Rinse is a preset
setting for this cycle.
This cycle introduces liquid chlorine bleach
to the load at the proper time for improved
whitening of your heavily soiled white
fabrics. For maximum soil removal use
liquid chlorine bleach.
The washer will fill with enough water
to wet down the load before the wash
portion of the cycle begins, and uses a
higher water level than other cycles.
The wash action of this cycle is designed
to keep large items from tangling and
bailing up. Do not load items directly on
the washplate for this cycle, load in loose
heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Use this cycle for normally soiled
cottons and mixed fabric loads. This
cycle uses the Water Save Spray Rinse.
Low Speed Spin is not available.
Use this cycle for heavily soiled or sturdy
items. Water-level sensing process may
take longer for some items than for others
because they will absorb more water than
other fabric types.
Use this cycle for lightly soiled, colored
clothing or towels. This cycle is a good
choice for fabrics with a wrinkle-free finish.
Use this cycle to wash small, lightly soiled
loads that are needed in a hurry. A Water
Save Spray Rinse is the preset cycle
setting for this cycle.
Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled
garments indicating "Machine Washable
Silks" or "Gentle" cycle on the care label.
Place small items in mesh garment bags
before washing. This cycle uses a higher,
preset water level.
Use this cycle to soak small spots of
set-in stains on fabrics. After time has
expired, water will drain, but washer will
not spin. To set a follow-up cycle, select
Drain & Spin, add additional detergent
and select a cycle based on fabric type.

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,
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.
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.
1. Sort and prepare your laundry
• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small
object can pass under the washplate and become trapped,
causing unexpected sounds.
• Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
• Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
o
o
o
o
Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing,
because heat can set stains into fabric.
Treat stains promptly.
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.
Helpful Tips:
• When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load
evenly. See "Cycle Guide" for tips and more information
on using the Bulky cycle.
• Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when
washing delicate or small items.
• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers
from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will
pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions
to avoid damage to your garments.
7
Load laundry into washer
- ._
Load garments in loose heaps evenly
around basket wall. Try mixing different
sized items to reduce tangling.
iMPORTANT: Items need to move
freely for best cleaning and to reduce
wrinkling and tangling.
to dispenser
Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 3/4 cup (180 mL).
Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same
cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
Using Laundry Product Dispensers
Add HE detergent to dispenser
Detergent dispenser
Add a measured amount of HE
detergent into detergent dispenser.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package
will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing
creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent.
Using regular detergent will likely result in 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.
NOTE: If using an Oxi laundry boost product, add to the
detergent dispenser.
HELPFUL TIP: See "Washer Maintenance" for information on

Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it to
drainpipe or laundry tub.
Do not place tape over drain opening.
Water can backup out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check all
household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water pipes,
and faucets.)
An unbalanced load can cause basket to be out of alignment and
cause water to splash off tub. See "Using Your Washer" for loading
instructions.
This is normal operation for an HE low=water washer. The load will not
be completely underwater. The washer senses load sizes and adds
correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. See "What's New under
the Lid."
IMPORTANT: Do not add more water to washer. The added water lifts
the load off the impeller, resulting in less cleaning.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to
inlet valve.
Both Hot and Cold water faucets must be turned on.
Check that inlet valve screens have not become clogged.
Check for any kinks in inlet hoses, which can restrict water flow.

Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin
for your garment.
Tightly packed loads may not allow the washer to spin correctly,
leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly arrange the wet load
for balanced spinning. Select DRAIN & SPIN to remove excess
water. See "Using Your Washer" for loading recommendations.
Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose
form and securely attach to drainpipe or tub. Do not tape
over drain opening. Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96"

IMPORTANTES iNSTRUCTiONS DE SECURITI_
AVERTISSEMENT : Pour r6duire les risques d'incendie, de choc electrique ou de blessures Iors de I'utilisation de la
laveuse, suivre les precautions fondamentales dont les suivantes :
[] Lire routes les instructions avant d'utiliser la laveuse.
[] Ne pas laver des articles qui ont 6t6 nettoy6s ou
lav6s avec de I'essence ou imbib6s d'essence,
solvants de nettoyage & sec, ou autres substances
inflammables ou explosives; ces substances
peuvent 6mettre des vapeurs susceptibles de
s'enflammer ou d'exploser.
[] Ne pas ajouter d'essence, solvant de nettoyage &
sec ou autre produit inflammable ou explosif dans

des vapeurs susceptibles de s'enflammer ou
d'exploser.
[] Dans certaines conditions, de I'hydrog_ne gazeux
peut se former dans un circuit d'eau chaude qui n'a
pas 6t6 utilis6 pendant 2 semaines ou plus. LE GAZ
HYDROGI_NE EST EXPLOSIBLE. Si le circuit d'eau
chaude n'a pas 6t6 utilis6 pendant une telle p6riode,
avant d'utiliser la laveuse, ouvrir tous les robinets
d'eau chaude et laisser I'eau s'6couler pendant
plusieurs minutes par chaque robinet. Ceci
permettra 1'6vacuation de I'hydrog_ne gazeux
accumul6. Comme ce gaz est inflammable, ne pas
fumer ou utiliser une flamme nue au cours de cette
p6riode.
[] Ne pas laisser des enfants jouer sur ou & I'int6rieur de la
laveuse. Bien surveiller les enfants Iorsque la laveuse est
utilis6e & proximit6 d'enfants.
[] Avant de mettre la laveuse au rebut ou hors de service,
enlever la porte ou le couvercle.

QUOI DE NEUF $OU$ LE COUWERCLE?
Nettoyer avec moins d'eau
;o ol f "h
Laveuse traditionnelle de

d'arriv6e d'eau.
m La CAT assure un nettoyage uniforme.
m L'eau chaude consomme la quantit6 d'6nergie maximale
utilis6e par une laveuse.
La nouveaut6 la plus flagrante de cette nouvelle laveuse est
son systeme de lavage a faible consommation d'eau avec
impulseur. La laveuse ajuste automatiquement le niveau d'eau
en fonction de la taille de la charge - nul besoin de s61ecteur
de niveau d'eau.
Lorsque I'on charge la laveuse de linge sale, celui-ci doit
6tre r6parti uniform6ment le long des parois du panier.
Commande du niveau d'eau
INTELLIFILL TM
Une fois que I'on d6marre le programme, le couvercle se
verrouille et la laveuse entame un processus de d6tection pour
d6terminer le niveau d'eau appropri6 a la charge. Cela peut
prendre plusieurs minutes avant que I'eau ne soit ajou%e. Voir
la description pas-a-pas dans la section "T6moins lumineux
de programme".
Vous entendrez le moteur faire tourner le panier par de brefs
mouvements d'impulsion pour bien imbiber la charge. Cette
m6thode de lavage avec faible consommation d'eau utilise moins
d'eau et d'6nergie qu'une laveuse traditionnelle de type agitateur.
_,mesure que la laveuse imbibe et d6place la charge, les
v_tements se tassent dans le panier. Ceci est normal et ne
signifie pas que I'on doive rajouter des v6tements.
IMPORTANT : Le panier de la laveuse ne sera pas rempli d'eau,
comme avec votre pr6c6dente laveuse de type agitateur.
Choix du d6tergeat appropri6
Utiliser uniquement des d6tergents Haute efficacit6. Uemballage
portera la mention "HE" ou "High Efficiency" (haute efficacit6).
Un lavage avec faible consommation d'eau produit un exces
de mousse avec un d6tergent non HE ordinaire. II est probable
que I'utilisation d'un d6tergent ordinaire prolongera la dur6e
des programmes et r6duira la performance de ringage. Ceci
peut aussi entrainer des d6faillances des composants et une
moisissure perceptible. Les d6tergents HE sont congus pour
produire la quantit6 de mousse ad6quate pour le meilleur
rendement Suivre les recommandations du fabricant pour
d6terminer la quantit6 de d6tergent a utiliser.
Utiliser uniquement un dOtergent Haute efficacitO (HE).
Nettoyage conceatr6
ke systeme de lavage a faible consommation d'eau signifie un
lavage concentr6. Plut6t que de diluer du d6tergent comme dans
une laveuse de type agitateur, cette laveuse lib@e le d6tergent
directement sur les endroits souill6s.
Commande automatique
de temp6rature
La commande automatique de temp@ature (CAT) d6tecte et
maintient 61ectroniquement une temp@ature uniforme de I'eau
de lavage et de ringage. La CAT r6gule I'arriv6e d'eau chaude
et d'eau froide. La fonction CAT est automatiquement activ6e
Iorsqu'un programme est s61ectionn6.
La fonction CAT est disponible avec les r6glages Warm/Cold
(tiede/froide) et Cool/Cold (fraiche/froide). La temp@ature de
Soas normaux pr6visibles
Au cours des diffOrents stades du programme de lavage, vous
entendrez peut-_tre des bruits que votre laveuse pr6c6dente
ne produisait pas. Par exemple, vous entendrez peut-6tre
un cliquetis au d6but du programme Iorsque le systeme de
verrouillage du couvercle effectue un test automatique. On
entendra diff@ents bourdonnements et bruits de frottements
rythmiques a mesure que I'impulseur d6place la charge. Parfois,
il est possible que la laveuse soit completement silencieuse,
Iorsqu'elle d6termine le niveau d'eau ad6quat ou qu'elle laisse
tremper les v_tements.

augmenter le froissement de la charge.
• Des vitesses d'essorage plus lentes signifient moins
de froissement mais laissent la charge plus humide.
SOIL LEVEL (Niveau de salet_)
Le niveau de salet6 (dur6e de lavage) est pr6r6gl6 pour
chaque programme de lavage. Lorsqu'on appuie sur
la touche Niveau de salet6, la dur6e du programme (en
minutes) augmente ou diminue sur I'afficheur de la dur6e
r6siduelle estim6e et une dur6e de lavage diff_rente
apparaft. Pour la plupart des charges, utiliser le niveau
de salet_ pr_r_gl_ pour le programme choisi. Pour les
tissus tr_s sales et robustes, appuyer sur SOIL LEVEL
(Niveau de salet_) pour prolonger la dur_e de lavage si
necessaire. Pour les tissus peu sales et delicats, appuyer
sur SOIL LEVEL (Niveau de salet_) pour abr_ger la dur_e
de lavage si n_cessaire. Un r_glage de niveau de salet_
inf_rieur aidera a r_duire I'emm_lement et le froissement.
OPTIONS DE PROGRAMMES
Lorsqu'on s_lectionne un programme, ses r_glages par
!_ d_faut s'allument. Certains programmes et options ne sont
pas disponibles sur certains modeles.
WATER SAVE SPRAY RINSE (Rin£age
par aspersion _ faible consommation d'eau)
Utiliser cette option pour _conomiser de I'eau
gr&ce a un rin(_age par aspersion au lieu d'un ringage
en profondeur. Cette option est r_gl_e par d_faut
sur certains programmes et peut _tre s_lectionn_e
pour d'autres. Si I'on utilise de I'assouplissant de tissu,
toujours s_lectionner le bouton Fabric Softener
(Assouplissant pour tissu) ou s_lectionner Extra Rinse
(Ringage suppl_mentaire); ces deux options distribueront
I'assouplissant pour tissu dans un rin(_age en profondeur.
FABRIC SOFTENER (Assouplissant pour tissu)
Cette option dolt _tre s_lectionn_e si I'on utilise
de I'assouplissant pour tissu durant un programme.
Ceci garantit que I'assouplissant pour tissu est ajout_
au bon moment Iors du ringage pour _tre correctement
distribu&
