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 ifyou 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.

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

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.
Failureto follow these instructions can result in death_
fire, or electrical shock.
A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical
supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a
3 prong grounding plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet,
grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a
mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
washer is properly grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
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 unit is
within approximately 3 ft (90 cm) of its final location.
There are 4 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,

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. To avoid suspension and structural damage
to your washer, it must be properly set up for relocation by a
certified technician.

Read "Washer Use."
Totest and to clean your washer, measure _/2the
manufacturer's recommended amount of powdered or liquid

the detergent into the detergent dispenser. Select NORMAL/
CASUAL, and then select START.Allow the washer to
complete one whole cycle.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
FEATURESAND BENEFITS
SENSOR SMART TM Electronic Controls
Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a
beginner or an expert.
Smart Dispensers
The smart dispensers make your washer truly automatic. This
washer provides a three-compartment dispenser which includes
separate compartments for detergent, fabric softener, and
bleach. The dispenser has large pour zones, is self-cleaning, and
can be easily removed. Laundry products are diluted with fresh
water and added to the load at the proper time in the wash cycle.
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 additives. Because only the required
amount of water is used, the washer saves energy, too.
CATALYS'F _Cleaning Action with Direct Injection
A concentrated detergent solution is sprayed onto the clothes at
the beginning of the cycle to ensure that the detergent comes
into contact with the clothes as quickly as possible, removing
stains from your clothes without pretreating.
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
To 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, reducing drying time.
Adaptive Variable Speed Motor
The motor adapts to the load size and to the cycle selected to
give optimum cleaning, rinsing, and spinning conditions. The
motor can handle slow speeds needed for wool and delicate
items and is powerful enough to drive a large clothes load into a
1,050 rpm spin.
High-Efficiency Wash System
Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with
fewer, larger loads, conserves resources and lowers your water
and energy bills too.
Spin Speeds
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the
cycle selected. This factory setting can be changed, however.
This washer offers up to five different spin speed choices.
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC)
ATC electronically senses and maintains a uniform water
temperature. ATC regulates incoming hot and cold water. The
ATC is automatically turned On when a cycle is selected.
Add A Garment
When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle the
Add A Garment status light will glow for the first 8 minutes. This
washer allows an 8-minute period in which forgotten garments
may be added to a load.
Dynamic Balance
A precision balancing system that allows the washer to reach
spin speeds of up to 1,050 rpm. The washer spins faster so that
clothes coming out of the washer will dry faster. In addition, if the
Dynamic Balance system detects off balance loads during
spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that they are evenly
balanced.

Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline or other flammabme 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
The following is a guide to using your washer. Please refer to
other sections of this manual for more detailed information.
Do not store laundry products on the top surface of this washer.
Vibration is normal during operation.
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of
detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash
system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a
regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result
in washer errors, 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 "HE" High Efficiency detergent.
First Wash Cycle Without Laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, choose the Normal/
Casual cycle and run it without clothes. Use Y2the manufacturer's
recommended amount of powdered or liquid High Efficiency (HE)
detergent for a medium size load. This initial cycle serves to
ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.
1. To load the washer
Open the washer door by pulling on the handle. Sort laundry
according to color and type of fabric. Place a load of sorted
clothes in the washer. Do not overload washer. Overloading
can cause poor cleaning.
The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed.
Washer door should close easily.
Mix large and small items. Avoid washing a single item.
Load evenly.
Wash small items such as infant socks in mesh garment
bags. It is recommended that more than one garment bag
be used and that each garment bag be filled with equal
amounts of material.
When unloading garments, occasionally check under the
rubber rim at the front of the tub for small items.
2.
Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the lock
clicks. The washer door will remain locked during the wash
cycle.
NOTE: After any wash cycle is completed, the door must be
opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin. The
door can be opened only if PAUSE/CANCEL is selected while
the ADD A GARMENT light is glowing or if the cycle has been
canceled. See "To cancel a cycle" in the "Changing Cycles,
Options and Modifiers" section.
3. Open the dispenser drawer and add laundry products to the
detergent, bleach, or fabric softener compartments. Close
drawer slowly to avoid spills. See "Using the Dispenser."
4. Turn on the washer by selecting one of the WASH CYCLES.
The indicator light for the selected cycle will glow. When
selecting a Wash Cycle, the preset options, Water Temp, Spin
Speed, and Soil Level for the selected cycle will glow. The
display shows the estimated time remaining. The preset
settings provide the recommended fabric care for the
selected cycle. See "Cycles."

and the CLOTHES CLEAN light goes off. To power down
the washer manually after the wash cycle is complete,
select PAUSE/CANCEL once.
To begin the wash cycle later
Select DELAY until the desired delay time (in hours) shows in
the Estimated Time Remaining display. Select START.The
countdown to the wash cycle will show in the display window.
When delaying a cycle, use only powdered detergents in
the main wash compartment since liquid detergents may
seep out of the compartment during Delay, before the
wash cycle begins.
Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate
compartments for your laundry products--one is for detergent,
one is for liquid chlorine bleach, and one is for liquid fabric
softener. Laundry products are diluted and dispensed
automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, making it
unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to
add them.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the
dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.
Do not put laundry additives directly into the wash tub. Always
use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of
detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash
system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a
regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result
in washer errors, 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 "HE" High Efficiency detergenL
To fill dispenser compartments
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.

LAUNDRY TIPS
Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type
of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This
wash system, along with less water, will create too much
sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent, Using regular
detergent will likely result in washer errors, 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.
Sorting
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if
they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers
(towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.
Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from
noncolorfast items.
Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate
items).
Unloading
Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed.
Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if
left in the washer basket for a long time.
When unloading garments, occasionally check under the
rubber rim at the front of the tub for small items.
Useonly HE High Efficiency detergent.
Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other
items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid
scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim
and ornaments.
Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.
Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.
Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.
Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.
Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.
Treat spots and stains.
Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best
results.
Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, and
load evenly.
Wash small items, such as infant socks, in a mesh garment
bags. To create a balanced load it is recommend that more
than one garment bag be used, and that each garment bag
be filled with equal amounts of material.
NOTE: If washing only small items, it is recommend that more
than one mesh garment bag be used, and that each garment
bag be filled with equal amounts of material.

Washer Monthly Maintenance Procedure
Your washer has a special cycle stored within the machine's
programming. Pressing a specific combination of buttons will
access this cleaning cycle. This cycle uses higher water volumes
in combination with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the
inside of your washing machine.
NOTES:
Read these instructions completely before beginning the
cleaning process.
If necessary, the cleaning cycle may be interrupted by
pressing the PAUSE/CANCEL button. However, this will not
immediately stop the cycle. The machine will display "int"
(interrupt) and continue with several rinse and drain steps to
ensure that all remaining bleach is rinsed from the unit.
Begin procedure
1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from
the washer.
2. Be sure the door is closed.
3. Open the dispenser drawer and remove the detergent divider
from the Main Wash detergent compartment and set aside.
See "Using the Dispenser" for instructions. No laundry
products will be added at this time; you will be required to
add only liquid chlorine bleach, at a later step.
4. To enter the cycle, a specific combination of buttons must be
pressed.
Select the RINSE & SPIN button.
Select Low SPIN SPEED.
Select Warm/Cold WATER TEMPERATURE.
Select the 2ND RINSE Option.
Push END of CYCLE SIGNAL button 4 times within
5 seconds to start the cycle. The door will lock, and filling
will begin.
NOTE: The water in the unit will dispense for a moment,
then the door will unlock, lock again, and then the cycle
will continue.
The machine will fill and run a short sensing cycle. This
will take approximately 3 minutes.
The washer will provide 4 short tones. Check the Estimated
Time Remaining display for the codes indicated below.
a} If the washer displays the letters "Ab" (Add Bleach) inthe
Estimated Time Remaining display, you will hear 4 short
tones. Proceed to Step 6.
b} If the washer displays the letters "rL" (Remove Load) in
the Estimated Time Remaining display, an error tone will
sound. The door will unlock.
Open the door and remove the items from the washer.
Continue the cycle by pressing the START button.
NOTE: The water in the unit will dispense for a
moment, then the door will unlock, lock again, and
then the cycle will continue with another check for
items in the washer.
The machine will fill and run a short cycle to
determine whether any items have been left in the
washer. This will take approximately 3 minutes.
The washer will repeat Step 5 until it can determine
that there are no items in the washer and will display
"Ab" (Add Bleach).
Add liquid chlorine bleach.
a} If using the maintenance procedure for the first time, open
the dispenser drawer and immediately add 1 cup
(236.6 mL) liquid chlorine bleach to the Main Wash
detergent compartment. The liquid chlorine bleach should
immediately flow out of the dispenser.
b} If doing a monthly maintenance procedure, open the
dispenser drawer and immediately add 1/3cup (78.8 mL)
liquid chlorine bleach to the Main Wash detergent
compartment. The liquid chlorine bleach should
immediately flow out of the dispenser.
NOTES:
Water will be flowing into the dispenser drawer when
the bleach is added. This is normal.
Do not add any detergent to this cleaning cycle. Use
of more than 1 cup (236.6 mL) of bleach will cause
product damage over time.
19
7. Once the cleaning cycle has begun, allow the cycle to
complete. An estimated cycle time will appear on the display.
8. After the cleaning cycle is complete, leave the door open,
slightly, to allow for better ventilation and drying of washer
interior.
9. Replace the detergent compartment divider.
Always do the following to maintain washer freshness
Use only HEHigh Efficiency detergent.
Leave the door slightly open after each cycle to allow for
better ventilation and drying of washer interior.
Run this procedure on a monthly basis using 1/3cup (78.8 mL)
of liquid chlorine bleach.
If the procedure does not sufficiently improve the machine
freshness, evaluate your installation and usage conditions for
other causes.
Cleaning the exterior
Use a soft damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.
Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking
new. Use mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive products.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The dispenser drawer is removable for easy cleaning.
1. Unlock the dispenser drawer by pressing the Release Lever in
the Prewash compartment. See "Using the Dispenser."
Remove the drawer.
2. Remove the inserts (the siphon from the softener and bleach
compartments and the separator).
3. Wash the parts under running water.
4. Replace the inserts and return the dispenser to the drawer.
Replace inlet hoses after five 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, record the date of replacement.
Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because
some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your
washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather,
winterize it.
