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" for grounding instructions.

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 blue 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.

Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in

the couplings.

Make sure the washer drum is empty.

1. Attach a hose to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the

washen

2. Attach a hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the

washen

3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve. [Damage to the valves can

result.

3. Once all 4 bolts are removed, discard the bolts and spacers. Then pull the power cord

through the opening of the rear panel and close the hole with the attached cap.

4. Close the bolt holes with the 4 transport bolt hole plugs.

NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a later date, call your local service center. [b avoid

suspension and structural damage, your machine must be properly set up for relocation by a

certified technician.

Clear water lines

• Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry tub, drainpipe or bucket,

to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.

• Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot water hose is connected to

the hot water faucet and that the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.

Connect the inlet hoses to the washer

Ro ,, e @e Hose

Properly leveling your washer avoids excessive noise and vibration.

1. Check the levelness of the washer by placing a level on the top edge of the washer, first

side to side, then front to back.

If the washer is against a wail, move the washer out slightly before tipping back. [f the

washer is not level, first prop the front with a wood block and adjust the feet as necessary;

then prop the back and adjust feet as necessary. Repeat this step until washer is level.

2. Make sure all four feet are stable and resting on the floor. Then check that the appliance is

perfectly level (use a level).

3. After the washer is level, use a 14 mm open-end wrench to turn the nuts on the feet tightly

against the washer cabinet.

IMPORIANT: All four feet must be tightened. If the nuts are not tight against the washer

cabinet, the washer may vibrate,

4. The washer should not move front to back, side to side, or diagonally when pushed on its

top edges.

5. Slide the washer to its final location.

6. Confirm the levelness of the washer.

[b test and to clean your washer, 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 NORMAl, and then select START. Allow the washer to

complete one whole cycle.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergm_t.

Your new front-loading high efficiency washer, was designed to help conserve resources and

lower your water and energy bills. The washer is designed to determine and then provide the

amount of water needed for the best performance. The time of operation may be greater for

this new system than for a conventional washer.

Electronic Controls

Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert.

Auto Water Level

Adjusting to the size of the load, this feature allows the washer to use the minimal amount of

water needed to clean and rinse the clothes. With a low water level, you can obtain the same

results with smaller amounts of laundry products. Because only the required amount of water

is used, the washer saves energy, too. You can obtain the same washing results for small and

large loads size.

Larger Load Size

Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such as an average size sleeping

bag. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads. You can

wash a pillow or a large stuffed teddy bear.

Suspension System

lb 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

Stainless Steel Drum

The stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher spin speeds for more water

extraction, helping to reduce drying time.

Adaptive Variable Speed Motor

The motor adapts to the load size and to the cycle selected to give the optimum cleaning,

rinsing, and spinning conditions. The motor can handle slow speeds needed for delicate items

and is powerful enough to drive an average clothes load up to high-speed spin.

Spin Speeds

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based oil the cycle selected. [his factory

setting can be changed, however. This washer offers up to three different spin speed choices.

Thermal Optimizer

The heating system ensures that the wash water is heated to the preset temperature for Super

Wash, Whites, and Sanitary cycles. It also provides "Stepped Cleaning" when using the

Sanitary cycle. "Stepped Cleaning" starts the wash cycle with warm water to remove stains

/such as blood or grass). The Sanitary cycle also helps eliminate 99.9% of K. pneumonia, R

aureginosa and S. aureus, which are three common infectious bacteria.

Add A Garment

This option is available in all wash cycles except Rinse & Spin, Spin Only and Clean Washer.

When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle, the Add A Garment status light

will illuminate for the first 7 minutes. [-his washer allows a 7-minute period in which other ,1

garments may be added to a load.

Dynamic Balance

A precision balancing system that allows the washer to reach high-speed spins. [-he washer

spins faster so that clothes coming out of the washer will have less moisture than with

traditional top load machines. [n addition, if the Dynamic Balance system detects off-balance

loads during spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that they are evenly balanced.

Detergent Advantage System Dispenser

The three compartments in the dispenser allow loading of all laundry products before the

washer is started. [-he products will be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for high-

performance cleaning. The bleach release system is included in the detergent advantage

system. [-he detergent is added at the beginning of the cycle, and the bleach is added after the

enzymes have had a chance to do their cleaning. The fabric softener is dispensed in the rinse

cycle or in the EXTRA RINSE, if selected. The Detergent Advantage System Dispenser tray can

be easily removed for cleaning.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

Sanitary

Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This cycle combines an extra hot

water temperature and fast speed tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and

stains. [t is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120°F (49°C) to ensure proper

performance during this cycle.

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 residue on your laundry. This cycle combines

fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten drying time.

Super Wash

Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and Heavy soiled garments. This cycle

combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and high speed spin to shorten drying times.

Normal

Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business

clothes, permanent press blends, coKons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle combines

medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load cooling process to reduce wrinkling.

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 high speed spin to shorten

drying time. I.arge wash loads will result in the machine increasing the wash time.

Delicate

Use this cycle to clean washable silk and ultra delicate garments. (Check label instructions to

make sure that garment is washable.) [his cycle gently tumbles and drains without spinning to

gently clean garments and minimize wrinkling. Garments will contain a higher amount of

water at the end of this cycle, because there is a low spin-speed at the end of the cycle.

• Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as underwire bras, items with

strings, and small items such as socks.

Handwash

Use this cycle to clean washable woolen and special care garments. (Check label instructions

to make sure that the garment is washable.) Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a

sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of extra low tumbling speeds and

soaking. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling.

• Use mesh garment bags as needed.

Spin Only

Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is

preset to high. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from

the SPIN SPEED modifier.

NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, handwashables, and woolens should be drained

with no spin or low spin to avoid fabric stress.

To use Spin Only setting

• Select SPIN Only cycle.

• Press STARE

Rinse & Spin

Use this cycle to rinse, drain, and spin your wash load. This cycle combines fast-speed
