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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

CLEAN WASHER REMINDER

The Clean Washer Reminder indicator lights after 45 wash

cycles without a clean washer cycle. See the "Cleaning your

washer" section to run the clean washer cycle, or you can

press REMINDER RESET button to manually reset clean

washer cycle counter.

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.

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.

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

recommended method of cleaning washer dispensers.

Washer not loaded as

recommended.

Load not completely covered

in water.

Check for proper water supply.

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.

Electrical Shock Hazard

To remove suds, cancel cycle. Select DRAIN & SPIN. Select your

cycle. Press START. Do not add more detergent.

Small items may have been caught in pump or between basket

and tub, which can slow draining.

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"

(2.4 m) above the floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose.

Suds from regular detergent or using too much detergent can

slow or stop draining or spinning. Use only HE detergent.

Always measure and follow detergent directions for your

load. To remove extra suds, Select RINSE & SPIN. Do not

add detergent.

Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.

Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet, and

have both hot and cold water flowing to inlet valve.

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

I'eau de lavage. Ces substances peuvent emettre

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.

[] Ne pas tenter d'atteindre un article & I'interieur de la cuve de

la laveuse Iorsque le tambour, la cuve ou I'agitateur est en

mouvement.

[] Ne pas installer ou remiser cette laveuse & un endroit oQ elle

serait exposee aux intemperies.

[] Ne pas modifier les organes de commande.

[] Ne pas reparer ou remplacer un composant quelconque de

la laveuse, ni entreprendre une operation de service, sice

n'est specifiquement recommande dans ce manuel ou dans

un manuel d'instructions de reparations destine & I'utilisateur;

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
