Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly before tipping back. If the

washer is not [eve[, 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 [eve[.

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

perfectly [eve[ (use a [eve[).

After the washer is [eve[, use a 17 mm open-end wrench to turn the nuts on the feet tightly

against the washer cabinet.

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

cabinet, the washer may vibrate.

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

top edges.

Slide the washer to its final location.

Confirm the levelness of the washer.

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Read "Washer Use."

To test and clean your washe_; make sure there are no clothes in the washer and add one

AFFRESH r,, tablet to the washer drum. Select POWER/CANCEl_, the Clean Washer cycle,

and then select START/PAUSE. This cycle will take approximately 50 minutes to

complete. Allow the washer to complete the entire Clean Washer Cycle without

interruption.

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 main wash detergent,

fabric softenec and chlorine bleach. The dispenser has large pour zones. The dispenser is

self-cleaning, and can be easily removed. I_aundry products are diluted with fresh water and

added to the load at the proper time in the wash cycle.

Clean Washer with AFFRESH TM Cycle

This cycle uses steam to raise the temperature of the unit and makes the washer self-cleaning,

flushing the machine's interior free of dirt and other residue. The use of AFFRESH r_,washer

cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach with this cycle will remove and help avoid odor-causing

residue.

Auto Water Level

This washer automatically adjusts water level for optimal cleaning and rinsing performance.

Two sensors determine load size, load composition, and suds level, then the sensors adjust

the water level to the proper setting. This eliminates guesswork. The water level is just right

for every wash load size.

Super Size Capacity

Since there is no agitatob you can wash largeb bulkier items such as a king-sized bedspread.

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

Smooth Balance _M Balance 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

Commercial Quality Stainless Steel Drum

The commercial quality stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher spin

speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time compared to traditional front-load

washers.

High-Efficiency Wash System

Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with feweb larger loads, and lowers

your water and energy bills by helping conserve resources.

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.

Heating Element

This washer has a heating element that automatically heats the water to the optimal

temperature on select cycles. This enables stepped cleaning, a process in which warm water

is brought in and mixed with detergent first, then the water is heated. Stepped cleaning starts

the wash cycle with warm water to help remove stains (such as blood and grass). This heater is

active in the Whitest Whites, Heavy Duty, and Normal/Casual cycles.

Automatic Temperature Control

The automatic temperature control electronically senses and maintains a uniform water

temperature. Automatic temperature control regulates incoming hot and cold water.

Automatic temperature control is automatically turned on when a cycle is selected.

Add Clothes

Clothes can be added to the load during the first 8 minutes of the cycle. During this time,

the Status Indicator will indicate it is okay to add clothes.

Special Cleaning Action with Sensi-Care _MWash System

This washer channels 100% of the water through the dispensers to assure thorough rinse-out

and mixture of all the laundry products before they touch any garments. The water is then

sprayed from the top front onto the center of the load, providing even distribution, and

optimum cleaning performance. It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the

dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.

Efficient Detergent System

This washer has a specially designed valve that closes during the wash portion of the cycle

so that 100% of the water and detergent mixture is used on the load. The Efficient Detergent

System ensures that no water or detergent is wasted.

Dynamic Off-Balance Detection

This washer uses two sensors to detect load size and the amount of off-balance within the

load. The suspension system and controls are specially designed to redistribute the load

automatically.

"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 washe_.............

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. Remember, concentrated detergents such as 2x or higher will use

less detergent based on load size.

Use only HI__High Lfficiency detergent.

First Wash Cycle Without Laundry

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

choose the Normal/Casual cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency

detergent. Use _/_the manufacturer's recommended amount for a medium-size load. This

initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.

For All Wash Cycles

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 washen I)o 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 and avoid washing single items. Load evenly.

• It is recommended that you wash small items such as infant socks in a mesh garment bag.

• When unloading garments, occasionally check under the gray colored seal at the

front of the tub for small items.

Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the lock dicks. The washer door will

remain locked during the wash cycle.

NOTE: After any wash cycle is completed, the door must be opened and then dosed

before a new cycle can begin. The door can be opened only if START/PAUSE or POWER/

CANCEl_ is selected while the status indicator is in the Add Clothes area or if the cycle has

been canceled. See "To cancel a cycle" in Changing Cycles, Options, and Modifiers

section.

3. Open the dispenser drawer and add laundry products to the main wash detergent,

chlorine bleach, or fabric softener compartments. Close drawer slowly to avoid spills. See

"Using the Dispenser."

4. Turn on the washer by selecting POWER/CANCEl_. Select one of the cycles by turning the

cycle selector. The indicator light for the selected cycle will illuminate. When selecting a

wash cycle, the preset Options, Wash Temp, Spin Speed, and Soil I.eve[ for the selected

cycle will illuminate. The display shows the estimated time remaining. The preset settings

provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See "Cycles."

5. Select the desired Options, such as Max Extract TM, Extra Rinse, and Soak Time. Not all

options are available with all cycles. See "Options."

6. Select the desired Modifiers, such as Soil I_eve[, Wash Temp, and Spin Speed. Not all

modifiers are available with all cycles and options. See "Modifiers."

7. If desired, select SIGNAl_ ON/OFF. The signal is helpful when you are washing items that

should be removed from the washer as soon as it stops.

8. To begin the wash cycle immediately

Select START/PAUSE.

• If you do not select START/PAUSE within 60 minutes of choosing a cycle, the washer

automatically shuts off.

When the wash cycle is complete, the status indicator shows Done, the door unlocks,

and the wash load can be removed from the washer. The washer powers down

automatically 5 minutes after the cycle is complete. To power down the washer

manually after the wash cycle is complete, select POWER/CANCEl. once.

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. I.aundry 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 products 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. Remember, concentrated detergents such as 2x or higher will use

less detergent based on load size.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

To fill dispenser compartments

1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.

2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment.

The preset settings can be changed anytime before START is pressed. Not all options and

modifiers are available with all cycles. (To change settings after the cycle has started, press

PAUSE once, then select the desired settings. Press START again to continue the cycle.)

Whitest 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 residues on your laundry. This cycle combines

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

Heavy Duty

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

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

times. If the water temperature is lower than needed for this cycle, the heater will warm the

water to the optimum temperature.

Normal/Casual

Use this cycle to wash norrnally soiled cottons and linens. This cycle cornbines rnediurn-

speed tumbling and high-speed spin.

Delicate

Use this cycle to wash no-iron fabrics and garments labeled "Permanent Press" or "Wrinkle

Free" or that indicate using a "Gentle" cycle on the care [abe[. This cycle combines low-speed

tumbling and low-speed spin to help reduce wrinkling.

Quick 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 extra high speed spin to

shorten drying time.

Sanitary

Cycles certified by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certification

organization are those with the sanitize temperature selection available. The certification

verified that these cycles reduce 99.9% of bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding,

and towels. There is no carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete.

Certified to Sanitize

Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This cycle combines a super hot water

temperature and fast-speed tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is

recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120°F (49°C) to ensure proper

performance during this cycle. Extra high speed spin helps shorten drying time. Only Sanitary

cycle has been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for Sanitizing

Efficacy.

Clean Washer with AFFRESH TM

Use this cycle once a month to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses

a higher water level in combination with AFFRESH TM washer cleaner or bleach and steam, to

thoroughly clean the inside of your washer. This cycle should not be interrupted. See

Cleaning Your Washer in the Washer Care section.

IMPORTANT: Do not place garments in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle.

Rinse & Spin

Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling and extra

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

from the Spin Speed modifier.

A Rinse & Spin cycle is useful for:

• I.oads that need rinsing only, like swimsuits.

NOTE: For more delicate loads, when using a Rinse & Spin cycle to rinse swimwear,

change the Speed Spin Modifier setting to Medium or I.ow to avoid fabric stress.

• Adding fabric softener to a load.

Drain & Spin

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

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

from the Spin Speed modifier.

NOTE: I.oads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, hand washables, and washable woolens should

be drained with no spin or low spin speed to avoid fabric stress.

WaterTemp

Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are washing. Use the warmest wash

water safe for fabrics. Follow garment [abe[ instructions.

Warm rinses leave the loads drier than cold rinses. Warm rinses increase wrinkling. In cold

climates, a warm rinse makes the load more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.

• In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well.

Soils may be difficult to remove.

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. Remember, concentrated detergents such as 2x

or higher will use less detergent based on load size.

Use only 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 wool and 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 bag. To create a balanced load,

it is recommended that more than one garment bag be used, and that each garment bag

be filled with equal amounts of material.

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 non colorfast 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 [eft in the washer basket for a long time.

• When unloading garments, occasionally check under the gray colored sea[ at the front

of the tub for small items.
