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. Ifthe 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 Water
Traditional agitator-style
washer
Low-water washer
The most striking difference in your 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.
Automatic Load Size Sensing
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.
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.
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.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.
Do not load garments directly over the center of the washplate;
when loaded, the center of the washplate should be visible.
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.
As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the
garments will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not
indicate that more garments should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water
as with your past agitator-style washer. It is normal for some of
the load to be above the water line.

WASH CYCLE KNOB
Turn the Wash Cycle knob to select a cycle for your laundry
load. See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles.
TIME/STATUS 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 loads, unbalanced loads, or
excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle
time, as well.
If you have set a delay start to the cycle, the Estimated
Time Remaining display will show the delay time adjusted.
When the cycle is complete, the Done indicator will light
until the lid is opened.
The Lid Lock indicator lights up when the lid is locked
and cannot be opened. Ifyou 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 to restart the cycle.
0
ECO MONITOR
Your washer is specially designed to conserve energy
and water. Each cycle, along with any selected options,
will result in different energy and water usage. To use
the Eco Monitor, choose the best cycle for the load being
washed, then adjust temperature and spin speed options
to improve the energy usage within that cycle.
START/PAUSE BUTTON
Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause
a cycle.
CYCLE OPTIONS
You may 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.
ECOBOOST TM option
The EcoBoost TM option allows you to increase your
energy savings on your wash cycles. When this option
is used, the wash cycle will use cooler wash water than
the selected cycle and may increase the spin speed
for faster drying.
4
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
DEEP CLEAN with HEATER
The Deep Clean with Heater option helps to ensure better
soil and stain removal. Deep Clean uses a heater within
the washer to maintain the selected temperature setting
throughout the wash period. This option will add some
additional time to the cycle based on which temperature
is selected. It is a preset cycle setting on the Sanitary
cycle. Deep Clean with Heater may be selected as an
option with other cycles.
DISPENSERS
Press this button to set the dispensers for Oxi, Fabric
Softener, or both so that the selected laundry product
is added to the load at the correct time.
CYCLE SIGNAL
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds
at end of cycle. A louder signal is helpful in removing
items as soon as cycle is complete.
Press and hold the CYCLE SIGNAL button to illuminate
the washer basket, making loading and unloading easier.
The light comes on when the lid is opened, and turns
off automatically when the lid is closed or when you
press and hold the button again. If the lid is left open,
the drum light will turn off on its own after a few minutes.
If you turn on the drum light while the lid is closed, it
will not automatically time out. You must press and hold
the CYCLE SIGNAL button again to turn it off.
O CYCLE MODiFiERS
Whenyou select a cycle, itsdefault settings will light up.
SOiL LEVEL
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.
As you press the Soil Level pad, 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. A lower
Soil Level setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
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.
WASH TEMP
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 for cold wash settings, some warm water
may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature. For cold water with no warm water
added, select Eco Cold.
To turn Button Sounds either On or Off:
While washer is off (before pressing Power button), press
the following buttons within 5 seconds: Wash Temp - Cycle
Signal - Wash Temp - Cycle Signal. Washer will make a
single beep when the process is complete.
NOTE:

1 Sanitary with Oxi & Steam
Sanitary with Oxi & Steam cycle certified by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certification organization.
The certification verified that the cycle reduced 99.9% of bacteria typically found in clothing, bedding, and towels. There is no
carry over of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete. Only the Sanitary with Oxi cycle has been designed to meet the
requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for Sanitizing Effectiveness.
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.
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 garments by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
. Separate heavily soiled garments from lightly soiled.
. Separate delicate garments from sturdy fabrics.
. Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing; heat
can set stains into fabric.
. Treat stains promptly.
. Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes.
Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
. Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to garments
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 Items cycle.
. Use mesh 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.
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.
Add laundry products
Add a measured of amount of detergent or single-dose
laundry packet into the basket.
If using Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric
softener crystals, add to the bottom of the washer basket
before adding clothes.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine
the amount of laundry products to use.
8
3. Load laundry into washer
Load garments in loose heaps evenly
around the washplate. Do not load
garments directly over the center
of the washplate; when loaded, the
center of the washplate should be
visible. Try mixing different sized
garments to reduce tangling.
iMPORTANT: Garments need to move freely for best cleaning
and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets or fabric softener
crystals to dispensers. They will not dispense correctly.
4, Add HE detergent to 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.
HELPFUL TiP: See "Washer Maintenance" for information on
recommended method of cleaning washer dispensers.

NOTE: This washer does not include inlet hoses.
See the Installation Instructions for more information.
f WASHER CARE "_
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean
and Performing at its Best
1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the
HE detergent manufacturer's instructions regarding the
amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the
recommended amount because that may increase the
rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside
your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not
exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better
job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent
accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to
help dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of
odor-causing residue.
Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the
routine cleaning processes recommended below. This
Washer Maintenance Procedure should be performed,
at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles,
whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils
and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer.
Cleaning the Inside of the Washer
To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions
provided above, and use this recommended monthly
cleaning procedure:

Laveuse traditionnelle
de type agitateur
La nouveaut6 la plus remarquable de cette nouvelle laveuse
est son systeme de lavage & faible consommation d'eau avec

niveau d'eau en fonction de la taille de la charge - nul besoin
de s61ecteur de niveau d'eau.
D tection automatique de faille
de charge
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 & la charge.
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.
Choix du d tergent appropri
Utiliser uniquement des d6tergents Haute efficacit& L'emballage
portera la mention "HE" ou "High Eficiency" (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 entralner 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 detergent Haute efficacite (HE).

Le systeme de lavage a faible consommation d'eau signifie un
lavage concentr& Plut6t que de diluer du d6tergent comme dans
une laveuse de type agitateur, cette laveuse lib@e le d6tergent
directement sur les endroits souill6s.
Sons normaux pr visibles
Au cours des diff@ents 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.
A 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. II est
normal qu'une partie de la charge d6passe du niveau d'eau.
