conductor and 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.
v Do not use extention cord.
v Do not remove ground pin from plug.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check

them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Failure
to comply with these warnings could result in serious
personal injury.
v Destroy the carton, plastic bag, and other packing
materials after the washer is unpacked. Children
might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers. Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in serious personal injury
v Keep laundry products out of childrens reach. To
prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on
product labels. Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in serious personal injury.
v Before your washer is removed from service
or discarded, remove the door to the washing
compartment to avoid the danger of children or small
animals getting trapped inside. Failure to do so can
result in serious personal injury or death.

When removing the washer from the carton base, be
sure to remove the foam drum support in the middle of
the carton base. See drawing below.
If you must lay the washer down to remove the base
packaging materials, always protect the side of the
washer and lay it carefully on its side. DO NOT lay the
washer on its front or back.
To prevent internal damage during transport, the washer
is equipped with four shipping bolts and plastic retainers.
IMPORTANT:
v These shipping bolts and retainers MUST NOT be
removed until just before moving the washer into its
oQDOSRVLWLRQ
v These bolts and retainers MUST be removed before
operating the washer.
v Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may
cause severe vibration and noise, which can lead to
permanent damage to the washer.
NOTE: The power cord is secured to the back of the
washer with a shipping bolt to help prevent operation
with shipping bolts in place.
1. Starting with the bottom two shipping bolts, use the
wrench (included) to fully loosen all four shipping
bolts by turning them counterclockwise.
2. Remove the bolt assemblies by wiggling them
slightly while pulling.
3. Locate the four hole caps included in the accessory
pack and install them in the shipping bolt holes.
NOTE: Save the bolt assemblies for future use. To
prevent damage to internal components, DO NOT
transport the washer without reinstalling the shipping
bolts.

v IMPORTANT: Use new hoses when installing the
washer. Do NOT reuse old hoses.
v IMPORTANT: ONLY use new, high-quality inlet hoses
when installing this laundry product. Aftermarket hoses

hoses may not tighten correctly and could cause leaks.
Subsequent damage to product or property will not be
covered under the terms of the product warranty.
v Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi and
120 psi (138 - 827 kPa). If the water supply pressure is
more than 120 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be
installed.
v Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and wear,
and replace the hose if necessary.
v Make sure that the water lines are not stretched,
pinched, crushed, or kinked.
v The washer should never be installed or stored in a
location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to
the water lines and internal mechanisms of the washer
can result. If the washer was exposed to freezing
temperatures prior to installation, allow it to stand at
room temperature for several hours before use and
check for leaks prior to operation.

Fabric Care Labels
Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label.
Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option
selections to care for your clothing according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Grouping Similar Items
For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility
of damage to clothing, care should be taken to sort the
clothing into loads that are made up of similar items.
0L[LQJGLçHUHQWIDEULFW\SHVDQGRUVRLOOHYHOVFDQUHVXOW
in poor wash performance, color transfer or discoloration,
fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into
groups as described below.
Colors
Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in a
separate load from light colors or whites. Mixing dark
clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or
discoloration of the lighter clothes.
Soil Level
Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing lightly
soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled
clothing could result in poor wash performance for the
lightly soiled clothing.
Fabric Type
Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavier or
sturdier fabric types. Washing delicates in a load with
heavy fabrics can result in damage to the more delicate
fabrics. Washing heavier fabrics in a delicate load can
result in poor wash performance for the heavier fabrics
and possible damage to the delicates.
Lint Type
Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others
JLYHRçOLQWLQWKHODXQGU\SURFHVV$YRLGPL[LQJWKHVH
lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing
these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint
collectors. (For example, lint collector – knit sweater; lint
producer – terrycloth towels.)
Loading the Washer
v Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty.
Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both
your washer and your clothes.
v Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from
snagging or tangling on other clothes.
v Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
v &RPELQHODUJHDQGVPDOOLWHPVLQDORDG/RDGODUJHLWHPVoUVW
v Large items should not be more than half of the total wash load.
v The drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of
the washer should close easily.
v To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash single items. Add
one or two similar items to the load.
Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, comforter, or bedspread,
should be washed individually.
v Do not wash or spin waterproof items, such as rain coats, sleeping
bags, etc.
v When unloading the washer, check under the door seal for small
items.
NOTE:
Make sure that the door seal area is clear when closing
the door. Overloading the washer can cause items to get caught
between the door and the seal. This can damage both the items
and the seal.

A
ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING
When the START/PAUSE button is pressed, the
washer will automatically detect the load size for
cycles that use load sensing. The control will then
optimize the wash and rinse times, based on the
VHOHFWHGF\FOHPRGLoHUVDQGRSWLRQV:KHQWKHORDG
size has been determined, the display will change
from dashes (- - -) to the estimated time for that
cycle. For non-load sensing cycles, the estimated
time will display when the cycle is selected.
NOTE:
v The time shown is only an estimate. For example,
the time displayed may pause for a period of time
while the machine is heating the water or balancing
the load. Under certain conditions, the machine can
pause for extended periods of time.
v Estimated time is based on normal operating
conditions. Several external factors (load size, room
temperature, incoming water temperature, etc.) also

B
LOAD-SENSING INDICATOR
At the beginning of cycles that use the load sensing
feature, the LOAD SENSING light will blink while the
load size is being measured. Once the size has been
determined, the control adjusts the cycle for
optimum performance. Estimated time remaining will
not display until the load size has been determined,

C
CYCLE STATUS INDICATOR
These status LEDs illuminate to indicate which
stage of the cycle is currently running. A blinking
light indicates the active stage of the cycle. When
that stage is complete, the light will remain steady.
D
DOOR LOCK INDICATOR
Indicates that the door is locked. The washer door
will lock while the washer is operating. The door can
be unlocked by pressing START/PAUSE to pause the
washer.
NOTE:
v If the temperature in the washer is too high, the
door cannot be unlocked until the washer
has cooled.
v If the water level is too high, the door will not
unlock. To drain the water, press POWER, then press
the SPIN SPEED button without selecting a cycle.
Press START/PAUSE and the water will drain and
the clothes will spin out. Do not try to force the
door open, as this will damage the door.
The time and status display shows the estimated time remaining, cycle progress, and door lock status.
