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.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

_ HE detergent

_ Liquid fabric

_ Chlorine bleach

O DISPENSER DRAWER

The dispenser drawer gives you the convenience of

automatically adding HE detergent, liquid chlorine bleach,

and liquid fabric softener to the wash load at the proper time.

See "Using the Dispenser Drawer" for information on using the

dispenser drawer.

_High Efficiency "HE" detergent compartment

This compartment holds liquid or powdered HE detergent

for your main wash cycle.

_ Liquid fabric softener compartment

Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid fabric softener at

the optimum time inthe cycle.

[] Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.

Liquid chlorine bleach compartment

Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid chlorine bleach

at the optimum time during the first rinse after the wash

cycle. This compartment cannot dilute powdered bleach.

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 non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent

will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing

performance. It may also result in component failure and, over

time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents are low-sudsing

and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for

the best performance. They hold soil in suspension so it is not

re-deposited onto clean clothes. Follow the manufacturer's

instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Use only High Efficiency (HE)detergent.

Cycle Status Lights

Model WFW94HE shown

Delay Wash

If a Delay Wash is set, the Delay Wash indicator will light and

the delay time will count down in the display.

Door Locked

Door Locked will light to indicate that the door is locked and

cannot be opened without first pausing or canceling the cycle.

Sensing

When START is touched, the washer will first perform a

self-test on the door lock mechanism and the sensing light

will come on. You will hear a click, the drum will make a partial

turn, and the door will unlock briefly before locking again.

Once the door has locked the second time, the washer will

begin tumbling and adding water. This sensing process will

continue throughout the cycle. You may also hear water

flowing through the dispenser, adding detergent to the load.

After the load size is sensed, the estimated time based on

load size will be displayed. The actual cycle time may be

lengthened; however, the display will continue to show the

estimated time.

The sensing light will blink once a second at various times

during the cycle, such as when the washer is reducing extra

suds.

Add Garment

When "Add Garment" is lit, you may pause the washer, open

the door, and add items.

Steaming

This will light to show that the cycle is using asteam boost for

added cleaning power.

Done

Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove

the load promptly for best results. The Done indicator is also

lit during Fan Dry or TumbleFresh 'M.

Fan Dry/TumbleFresh'"

The Fan Dry/TumbleFresh " indicator will light when the Fan

Dry/TumbleFresh ,Moption is active. During this time, the

washer will occasionally tumble the load. During Fan Dry only,

a fan also circulates fresh air through the washer.

Eco Monitor

The Eco Monitor allows you to see how the settings you select

affect your energy savings. To use the Eco Monitor, choose

the best cycle, temperature, spin speed, soil level, and options

for the fabrics being washed. The Eco Monitor will rate the

water and energy use of those selections, from Good to Best.

You can then adjust the settings and options to decrease the

amount of energy used within that cycle.

USING THE DISPENSER DRAWER

1. Open the dispenser drawer.

2. Add laundry products as described in steps 4-6 in the "Using

Your Washer" section.

Load Size Recommendations

For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted for each cycle.

Small load: Fill the washer drum with 3-4 items, not more than 1/4 full.

_ Medium load: Fill the washer drum up to about 1/2 full.

Large load: Fill the washer drum up to about 3/4 full.

Extra-large load: Fill the washer drum, but make sure clothes can tumble freely.

For best results, avoid packing tightly.

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.

First wash cycle without laundry

Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during

the final installation step, choose the QUICK WASH cycle and

run it without clothes. Use only HE detergent. Use 1/2 the

manufacturer's recommended amount for a medium-size load.

This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before

washing clothes.

1, Sort and prepare your laundry

Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and

colorfastness. Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.

Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. Treat stains

promptly and check for colorfastness by testing stain remover

products on an inside seam.

IMPORTANT:

[] Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object

can plug pumps and may require a service call.

[] 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.

[] Turn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers

from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will

pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

[] Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because

heat can set stains into fabric.

[] Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry

product instructions. Improper usage may cause 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 single-dose laundry packet, Oxi,

color-safe bleach, or fabric softener

crystals (if desired)

Single-dose laundry packet, Oxi-type boosters, color-safe

bleach, or fabric softener crystals can be added to the drum

prior to adding laundry.

NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer drum prior to adding

laundry products. Always follow manufacturer's instructions.

3. Load laundry into washer

Place a load of sorted clothes loosely in the washer. Items need

to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and

tangling. Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the

latch clicks.

[] Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully

loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close

easily. See "Cycle Guide" for loading suggestions.

[] Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items.

Load evenly.

[] Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items,

use more than one bag and fill bags equally.

WASHER MAINTENANCE

WATER iNLET HOSES

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk

of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses

if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of

replacement on the label with a permanent marker.

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 or hot water washes 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 door slightly ajar between uses

to help dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of

odor-causing residue.

Cleaning Your Front 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 Door Seal

1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items

from the washer.

2. Inspect the colored seal between the door opening and

the drum for stained areas or soil buildup. Pull back the

seal to inspect all areas under the seal and to check for

foreign objects.

3. If stained areas or soil buildup are found, wipe down

these areas of the seal using either of the following

two procedures:

a. affresh ®Grit Grabber TM Cloth Procedure:

i. When the cycle is complete, gently pull back the

rubber door seal and clean the entire surface with

the rough side of the Grit Grabber TM cloth.

b. Dilute Liquid Chlorine Bleach Procedure:

i. Mix a dilute bleach solution, using 3/4 cup (177 mL)

of liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm

tap water.

ii. Wipe the seal area with the dilute solution, using

a damp cloth.

iii. Let stand 5 minutes.

iv. Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry cloth and let

washer interior air dry with door open.

IMPORTANT:

[] Wear rubber gloves when cleaning with bleach.

[] Refer to the bleach manufacturer's instructions

for proper use.

F WASHER CARE (cont.) "_

Cleaning the Inside of the Washer

This washer has a special cycle that uses higher water

volumes in combination with affresh ®Washer Cleaner or

liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of the

washer. Steam washer models also utilize steam to enhance

cleaning in this special cycle.

NOTE: Read these instructions completely before beginning

the cleaning process.

Begin procedure

1. affresh ®Washer Cleaner Cycle Procedure

{Recommended for Best Performance):

ao Open the washer door and remove any clothing

or items.

bo Add an affresh ®Washer Cleaner tablet to the washer

drum.

co Do not add the affresh ®Washer Cleaner tablet

to the dispenser drawer.

d. Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the

washer when following this procedure.

eo Close the washer door.

fo Select the CLEAN WASHER cycle.

g. Touch and hold START to begin the cycle. The Clean

Washer Cycle Operation is described below.

2. Chlorine Bleach Procedure:

ao Open the washer door and remove any clothing

or items.

b. Open the dispenser drawer and add liquid chlorine

bleach to the MAX level in both the bleach

compartment and the fabric softener compartment.

NOTE: Use of more liquid chlorine bleach than is

recommended above could cause washer damage

over time.

co Close the washer door and the dispenser drawer.

d. Do not add any detergent or other chemicals to the

washer when following this procedure.

eo Close the washer door.

fo Select the CLEAN WASHER cycle.

g. Touch and hold START to begin the cycle. The Clean

Washer Cycle Operation is described below.

NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle.

Description of Clean Washer Cycle Operation:

1. The Clean Washer cycle will determine whether clothing

or other items are in the washer.

2. If no items are detected in the washer, it will proceed

with the cycle.

a. If any items are detected in the washer, "rL" (remove

load) will be displayed. The door will unlock. Open

washer and remove any garments from the washer

drum.

b. Touch POWER to clear the "rL" code.

co Touch and hold START to restart the cycle.

After the cycle is complete, leave the door open slightly to

WASHER MAINTENANCE

WASHER CARE (cont.)

Cancellation of Clean Washer Cycle Operation:

if the Clean Washer cycle is canceled by the user after it has

been initiated, it may take up to 30 minutes for the washer

to purge any affresh®Cleaner, chlorine bleach, or other

chemistry from the wash system and to adequately rinse any

remaining chemistry. The washer door will remain locked until

the cancellation process has been completed. This ensures

no cleaning chemistry will be carried over to the next wash

cycle and reduces the potential for damage to subsequent

loads of laundry or to the washer itself.

Clean Washer Cycle Cancellation Procedure:

1. Touch POWER on the washer once.

2. The washer will begin to drain and rinse away the

remaining cleaning chemistry.

3. The cycle will complete the cancellation process in

approximately 30 minutes or less.

4. The washer then can be used to either repeat the Clean

Washer cycle or to wash laundry using one of the regular

wash cycles selected by the user.

Cleaning the Dispensers

After a period of using your washer, you may find some

residue buildup in the washer's dispensers. To remove

residue from the dispensers, remove the drawer and wipe

the surfaces with a damp cloth and towel dry either before

or after you run the Clean Washer cycle. Use an all-purpose

surface cleaner, if needed.

IMPORTANT: Dispenser is not dishwasher safe.

Cleaning the Outside of the Washer

Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.

Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to help

keep it looking new. Use mild soap and water.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer's finish, do not

use abrasive products.

CLEAN WASHER CYCLE REMINDER
