SAFETY INFORMATION
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of death, fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury to persons when using
your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■Read all instructions before using the appliance.
■Follow all fabric care instructions and warnings to prevent melting of garments or damage to the appliance.
■DO NOT wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or 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. If the hot water system has not been used for such a

Load Size/Water Level
Add detergent to the bottom of the basket and fabric softener to the dispenser prior to loading clothes.
Loosely load items in the washer basket. Overloading may negatively impact wash performance. Adjust the load size
accordingly.
Make the load selection:
Auto
– For convenience, best performance and optimal efficiency, select Auto for models so equipped. This selection automatically provides
the correct amount of water suited to the size and type of load placed in the unit. Lid will be locked for the duration of the load sensing
process, which includes a brief spin period and a portion of the water fill.
– If you prefer to manually select the water level, select Small through Large. While Auto is best for most loads and general washing,
you may want to manually select the load size for specialty items such as bulky, lightweight comforters or pillows, where you want to
ensure a larger water level is applied. Manual load size selections should be made for wet items placed in the washer, such as soaked
towels or garments.
– The washer will not fill with water when Auto is selected if the lid is opened. When the lid is closed the machine is able to
begin filling with water in order to sense the load size.
NOTE: This is a high-efficiency washing machine. This system requires less water while providing effective cleaning action. You may
notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is normal.

Consumer Help Indicator
Your washer is equipped with Consumer Help Indicator (CHI). CHI is our way to communicate a simple remedy for
some situations that you can perform without the need to call for service. The chart below describes the helpful lights
you may notice flashing.
Spin light blinking If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin light will blink during the
remaining portion of the cycle and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion.
When this occurs, the washer is taking actions to correct the out-of-balance condition and
complete the cycle normally. In some cases, the washer may not be able to balance the load
and spin up to full speed. If you notice the load is more wet than normal at the end of the cycle,
redistribute the load evenly in the wash basket and run a Drain & Spin cycle.
Fill light blinking

USING THE WASHER
Getting started
Settings
Individual settings for agitation (Soil), water temperature (Temp), and spin (Spin) can be set from the minimum (lowest in
column) to maximum (highest in column). For some models, the higher up the column, the more washer energy will be used.
NOTE: Longer Spin times typically reduce dryer time/energy usage (i.e. reduces total energy when using both a washer and
a dryer).
E
FCycle Options - Vary by model
Deep Fill
Select the Deep Fill feature for loads where extra water is needed. The Deep Fill feature is recommended for special case
loads only, not for typical use.
Press the Deep Fill button once before starting the cycle to add an incremental amount of water to the wash load. Holding the
Deep Fill button for 3 seconds will provide the deepest fill level possible; this will increase cycle time due to the additional time it
takes to fill the washer.
To cancel the option if desired, press the Deep Fill button again.
NOTE: The Deep Fill button can also be pressed after the washer has completed filling and is in the wash phase if additional
water is desired. To stop the extra fill, press the Deep Fill button again and the water will stop.
Warm Rinse
Provides a warm rinse to your wash load. Note that rinsing operations may be different with this operation selected in order to
effectively apply the warm rinse water to your load.
Auto Soak
This option begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves through the rest of the cycle
automatically. For some models, repeated pressing of the Soak button will scroll through 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour and 2 hour
selections and then return back to 0 soak minutes.
Deep Rinse
Set this option to provide a deep rinse or when using fabric softener. It may change other settings (e.g. Spin may go to a higher
setting) to maximize performance.
Extra Rinse/2nd Rinse
When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, use the Extra Rinse/2nd Rinse option to better
remove additional residues. NOTE: This option is not allowed for some cycles.
Extra Spin/x2 Spin
Select to provide additional spin time, increasing energy efficiency through reducing drying times.
x2 Rinse and Spin
Provides both a second rinse and an extra spin.
Delay Wash
When the Delay Wash button is repeatedly pressed, the delay time is set from 1 (01H) to 9 (09H) hours and back to clear
(00H) hours. If you press and hold the Delay Wash button for 3 seconds, it will immediately reset.

Automatic Load Sensing
This determines the correct agitate profile, agitate duration and amount of water suited to the size and type of load placed in the
washer. The washer will not start the wash cycle or fill with water if the lid is open. When the lid is closed the machine is able to
begin filling with water in order to sense the load size.
NOTE: Automatic Load Sensing initiates a spin at the beginning of the cycle and will take as much as 3 minutes to complete
(significantly shorter for smaller loads); this is normal operation.
NOTE: This is a high efficiency washing machine. This system requires less water while providing effective cleaning action. You
may notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is normal.
The agitator cap fits into the top of the agitator. If it accidentally
comes off, simply put it back on.
The fabric softener dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric
softener at the proper time during the cycle.
Do not stop the washer or raise the lid during the first spin.
This will cause the dispenser to empty too soon.
To use, follow these steps:
1Make sure dispenser is securely attached to agitator.
2Use only liquid diluted fabric softener. Pour into dispenser,
using amount recommended on package.
Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain
them.
3
Add water to dispenser until it reaches the maximum fill line.
4Select Deep Rinse option.
NOTE: Fabric softener may not dispense properly if the Deep
Rinse option is not selected.
Liquid Fabric Softener Dispenser
ONLY this
portion of the
dispenser is
visible once
installed into
agitator
Do not pour anything into the agitator
if the agitator cap or dispenser is
removed.
Place laundry pretreatments, such as an Oxi product, directly
in the bottom of the wash basket before loading clothes.
NOTE: Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry
pretreatments such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.
Pretreatment

49-3000336 Rev 0 11
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
Proper Use of Detergent
Using too little or too much detergent is a common cause of
laundry problems.
Use less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller load or a lightly
soiled load.
For spots, apply pre-treatment to items as recommended on the
product label. Application should be made in the basket to prevent
overspray which may cause the coloring on the lid or graphics to
fade.
Place detergent pods in the bottom of the wash basket before
adding clothes.
We recommend the use of High Efficiency laundry packs
such as Tide PODS™. HE detergents are formulated to work
with low water wash and rinse systems. HE detergents reduce
the oversudsing problems commonly associated with regular
detergents.
When using high efficiency or concentrated detergents, consult
the product label to determine amount required for optimum
performance. Excessive detergent will negatively impact wash
performance.
Sorting Wash Loads
Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level, fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates) and whether the fabric produces
lint (terry cloth, chenille) or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy). Wash lint producers such as cotton towels and socks separate from
lint collectors including synthetic garments and dress pants.
Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely in the washer basket. For best results, load items evenly and loosely around the outside of the basket, filling in
towards the center on larger loads. To add items after washer has started, press Start/Pause if the lid is locked; wait until the Lid Lock
indicator is no longer illuminated before attempting to open the lid. Lift the lid and submerge additional items around the outside of the
basket. Close the lid and press Start to resume. Adjust load size selection and/or use Deep Fill option if necessary.

NOTE: Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry pretreatments such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.
Pretreatment
■On models with an Infusor, do not
place large items such as sheets,
blankets and towels across the
Infusor. Load them around the
outside of the basket.
■Do not put lawn or sofa cushions
into the washer as they are too big
to move. Remove outer covers and
ONLY wash them.
DO NOT wash fabrics soiled with flammable liquids or cleaning solvents.
No washer can completely remove oil.
DO NOT dry anything that has been soaked in or spotted with any type of oil.
DO NOT reach into the washer until all moving parts have stopped.
Doing so can result in death, explosion, fire or amputation.
