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.
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.
[] Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, 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. Ifthe 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
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used
near children.
Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door or lid.
[] Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is
moving.
[] Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to
the weather.
[] Do not tamper with controls.
[] Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in
published user-repair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.

WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Cleaning with Less
Traditional agitator-style
washer Low-water washer
The most striking difference in your new washer is the
low-water washplate wash system. The washer automatically
adjusts the water level to the load size--no water level selector
is needed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.
Do not load garments directly over the center of the washplate;
when loaded, the center of the washplate should be visible.
Automatic Load Size Sensing
Once you start the cycle, the lid will lock, and the washer will
begin the sensing process to determine the correct water level
for the load. This may take several minutes before water is
added. You will find a step-by-step description in the "Cycle
Status Lights" section.
You will hear the motor turn the basket in short pulses
to thoroughly wet the load. This low-water wash method
uses less water and energy compared to a traditional
agitator-style washer.
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 regular non-HE detergent. Using
regular detergent will likely result in 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 High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Concentrated Cleaning
Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather
than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer,
this washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils.
NormM Sounds You Can Expect
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds
and noises that are different from those of your previous
washer. For example, you may hear a clicking and hum at the
beginning of the cycle, as the lid lock goes through a self-test.
There will be different kinds of humming and whirring sounds as
the washplate moves the load. And sometimes, you may hear
nothing at all, as the washer determines the correct water level
for your load or allows time for garments to soak.
As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the
garments will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not
indicate that more garments should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water
as with your past agitator-style washer. It is normal for some
of the load to be above the water line.

CONTROL P EL FEATURES
i
BULKY
TEMPERATURE
Temperature Control senses and maintains uniform water
temperatures by regulating incoming hot and cold water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results and following the
garment label instructions, use the warmest wash water safe
for your fabric.
• Warm and hot water will be cooler than what your previous
washer provided.
= Even in a cool water wash, some warm water may be
added to the washer to maintain a minimum temperature.
CYCLE OPTIONS
The following options may be added to most cycles.
See "Cycle Guide" for additional details.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
FABRIC SOFTENER
This option must be set to "On" if using fabric softener
during a cycle.
PRO-CLEAN option
This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough
stains. It will add additional agitation and soak time to the
cycle.
WASH CYCLE KNOB
Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your
washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load.
See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles.

that are different from traditional washers.
SENSING
CYCLESTATUS
Sensing Wash Rinse Spin Done
When the START/PAUSE button is pressed, the washer will
first perform a self-test on the lid lock mechanism. You will
hear a click, the basket will make a slight turn, and the lid will
unlock briefly before locking again.
Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer will use
short, slow spins to estimate the load size. These sensing
spins may take 2 to 3 minutes before water is added to the
load and you may hear the hum of these spins. Ifthe sensing
light is on, then washer is working properly. You will hear
the motor turn the basket in short pulses to thoroughly wet
the load. The washer will then move the load briefly, pause
to allow water to soak in to the load, and resume adding
water. This process may repeat until the correct amount of
water has been added for the load. You may also hear water
flowing through the dispenser, adding detergent to the load.
NOTE: Avoid opening lid during sensing. The sensing
process will start over when the washer is restarted. The
sensing light may also come on during the Soak and Wash
portions of the cycle. This is normal.

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.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into agrounded 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.
1, Sort and prepare your laundry
• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small
object can pass under the washplate and become trapped,
causing unexpected sounds.
• Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and
colorfastness.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled items.
• Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
• Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because
heat can set stains into fabric.
• Treat stains promptly.
• 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.
Helpful Tips:
= When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load
evenly. See "Cycle Guide" for tips and more information on
using the Bulky cycle.
• Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when
washing delicate or small items.
• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers
from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will
pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to
avoid damage to your garments.
Add a measured amount of HE
detergent into the basket.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The
package will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water
washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE
detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in 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.
Using Oxi or color-safe bleach:
If using an Oxi or color-safe bleach laundry boost product,
add to the bottom of the washer basket before adding

QUOI DE NEUF $0U$ LE COUWERCLE?
Nettoyer avec moins d'eau
Laveuse traditionnelle de
type agitateur
Plateau de lavac
Laveuse a faible
consommation d'eau
La nouveaut6 la plus flagrante de cette nouvelle laveuse est son
systeme de lavage a faible consommation d'eau avec plateau
de lavage. La laveuse ajuste automatiquement le niveau d'eau
en fonction de la taille de la charge - nul besoin de s61ecteur de
niveau d'eau.
D6teetion automatique
de taille de charge
Une fois que I'on dOmarre le programme, le couvercle se
verrouille et la laveuse entame un processus de d6tection pour
d6terminer le niveau d'eau appropri6 a la charge. Cela peut
prendre plusieurs minutes avant que I'eau ne soit ajou%e. Voir
la description pas-a-pas dans la section "T6moins lumineux de
programme".
Vous entendrez le moteur faire tourner le panier par de brefs
mouvements d'impulsion pour bien imbiber la charge. Cette
m6thode de lavage avec faible consommation d'eau utilise moins
d'eau et d'6nergie qu'une laveuse traditionnelle de type agitateur.
Choix du d6tergent appropri6
Otiliser uniquement des dOtergents Haute efficacit6.
Uemballage portera la mention "HE" ou "High Efficiency"
(haute efficacit6). Un lavage avec faible consommation d'eau
produit un exces de mousse avec un d6tergent non HE
ordinaire. II est probable que I'utilisation d'un d6tergent ordinaire
prolongera la dur6e des programmes et r6duira la performance
de ringage. Ceci peut aussi entrainer des d6faillances des
composants et une moisissure perceptible. Les d6tergents
HE sont congus pour produire la quantit6 de mousse ad6quate
pour le meilleur rendement. Suivre les recommandations du
fabricant pour d6terminer la quantit6 de d6tergent a utiliser.
Utiliser uniquement un dOtergent Haute efficacitO (HE).
Charger les v6tements sans les tasser et de fa£;on uniforme
le long du plateau de lavage. Ne pas placer les v@ements
directement au centre du plateau de lavage - celui-ci doit 6tre
visible.
Nettoyage eoneentr6
ke systeme de lavage a faible consommation d'eau signifie un
lavage concentr6. Plut6t que de diluer du d6tergent comme
dans une laveuse de type agitateur, cette laveuse libere le
d6tergent directement sur les endroits souill6s.
Sons normaux pr6visibles
Au cours des diffOrents stades du programme de lavage, vous
entendrez peut-_tre des bruits que votre laveuse pr6c6dente
ne produisait pas. Par exemple, vous entendrez peut-6tre
un cliquetis au d6but du programme Iorsque le systeme de
verrouillage du couvercle effectue un test automatique. On
entendra diff@ents bourdonnements et bruits de frottements
rythmiques a mesure que le plateau de lavage d6place la
charge. Parfois, il est possible que la laveuse soit completement
silencieuse, Iorsqu'elle d6termine le niveau d'eau ad6quat ou
qu'elle laisse tremper les v_tements.
A mesure que la laveuse imbibe et d6place la charge, les
v_tements se tassent dans le panier. Ceci est normal et ne
signifie pas que I'on doive rajouter des v_tements.
IMPORTANT :Vous ne verrez pas de panier de laveuse
rempli d'eau, comme avec votre pr6c6dente laveuse de type
agitateur. II est normal qu'une partie de la charge d6passe
du niveau d'eau.

Une fois que le couvercle a _t_ verrouill_ une seconde fois,
la laveuse essore lentement la charge s_che pour estimer

la laveuse fonctionne correctement. On entend le moteur
