IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this washer, comply with the basic
warnings listed below. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow these Important Safety Instructions:
PREVENT FIRE
• Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned
in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning sol-
vents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. Do not store
these items on or near the washer. These substances
give off vapors or chemical reactions that could ignite
or explode.
• Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the
washer. These substances give off vapors that could
ignite the materials.
• Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other flam-
mable or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced 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
period, before using the washer, turn on all hot water
faucets and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to
the rubber or plastic parts of the washer.
PROTECT CHILDREN
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer
is used near children. As children grow, teach them the
proper, safe use of all appliances.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing ma-
terials after the washer is unpacked. Children might use
them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads
or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
• Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To pre-
vent personal injury, observe all warnings on product
labels.
• Before the washer is removed from service or dis-
carded, remove the washer door to prevent accidental
entrapment.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
serious personal injuries.

PREVENT INJURY
• To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during
operation, the washer must be installed and electrically
grounded by a qualified service person in accordance
with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in
the washer for installer’s reference. Refer to
INSTAL-
LATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding
procedures. If the washer is moved to a new location,
have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service
person.
• To prevent personal injury or damage to the washer,
the electrical power cord of the washer must be
plugged into a properly grounded and polarized
3-prong outlet. The third grounding prong must never
be removed. Never ground the washer to a gas pipe.
Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.
• Follow package directions when using laundry products.
Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas - resulting
in serious injury or death.
• Do not combine laundry products for use in 1 load un-
less specified on the label.
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such
as vinegar.
PREVENT INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE WASHER
To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the

• All repairs and servicing must be performed by an
authorized servicer unless specifically recommended
in this Use & Care Guide. Use only authorized factory
parts.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be ex-
posed to the weather.
• Do not install on carpet. Install washer on a solid floor.
It may be necessary to reinforce the floor to prevent
vibration or movement.
• Do not sit on, step on or stand on the washer. Do not
rest heavy loads on top. The washer is not meant to
support weight.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect this
appliance from the power supply before attempting
any user maintenance. Turning the controls to the OFF
position does not disconnect this appliance from the
power supply.
• To prevent injury, do not reach into the washer while
parts are moving. Before loading, unloading or add-
ing items, push in the cycle selector knob and allow
the drum to coast to a complete stop before reaching
inside.
• This washer is equipped with an electrical overload pro-
tector. The motor will stop if it becomes overheated.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
serious personal injuries.
WARNING
FIRE/ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an
adaptor plug or extension cord or remove grounding
prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious injury, fire or death. WARNING
HARMFUL VAPOR HAZARD

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Abnormal, on-going sounds may be an indication of a
pending washer failure and should be investigated by a
qualified technician.
Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds from your
new washer:
A. DRAIN HOSE The washer has a flexible drain hose
to carry water from the washer to the stand pipe of
your home. You will hear water flowing into your stand
pipe. This is a normal part of the operation of the
washer.
B. WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters
the dispenser system, it is common to hear a water
flowing sound. This normal sound will vary slightly
based on the water pressure in your home.
C. DRAIN PUMP Your washer is equipped with a high
velocity drain pump. It is normal to hear humming and
gurgling sounds as water is pumped from the washer.
Both of these sounds are normal and indicate that
your pump is functioning correctly.
D. HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used to
drive the drum to high spin speeds to extract water
from your load. You will hear a sound associated with
these higher spin speeds. This sound is normal and
will vary slightly as the spin speed varies with load size
and cycle selected.

1Sort laundry into loads that can
be washed together.
• Sort items
by recom-
mended cycle
and water temperature.
• Separate white, light and colorfast items from dark
and non-colorfast items.
• Separate items that shed lint from items that at-
tract lint. Casual, synthetic, knit, and corduroy
items will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and che-
nille bedspreads.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled
items.
• Separate lacy, sheer, loosely knit, or delicate items
from durable items.
• Do not machine wash items containing fiberglass.
Small particles of fiberglass left in the drum may
transfer to fabrics in other loads and cause skin
irritation.
2 Prepare items for washing.
• Empty pockets.
• Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach
towels.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes,
and remove non-washable trims and ornaments.
• Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage
during washing.
• Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.
• Place delicate and small items such as bras, hosiery
and baby socks in a mesh bag.
• Combine large and small items in a load.
• Load large items first. Large items should not be
more than half the total wash load.
• Washing single items such as a sweater, towel or
jeans is inefficient and may cause an out-of-bal-
ance load. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance
the load.
• Wash a single heavy item such as a king-sized
comforter, bedspread or sleeping bag separately.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the items
should not be tightly packed. The door should close
easily.
3 Pretreat stains and heavy soil.
• See Stain Removal Guide in this guide
for safe, success-
ful stain removal
instructions.

Use a low-sudsing, high efficiency
detergent to prevent oversudsing in
front load washers. Look for this symbol
on the detergent label:
For best results
Detergent, liquid chlorine bleach and liquid fabric soft-
ener will be dispensed at the proper times in the cycle.
Operating Your Washer, continued ÍNOTE
From time to time you may see water in the “LIQUID
BLEACH” and “FABRIC SOFTENER” chambers. This is
part of the normal operation of the washer.
IMPORTANT
To prevent fabric damage, do not overfill the “LIQUID
BLEACH” chamber or pour liquid chlorine bleach
directly onto the load.
ÍNOTE
To prevent staining, do not overfill the “FABRIC
SOFTENER” chamber or pour liquid fabric softener
directly on the wash load.
IMPORTANT
Use of multi-product (detergent plus softener) sheets
or color-absorbing sheets NOT recommended. They
could disable your machine and result in unwarranted
repair costs.
IMPORTANT
Open and close the dispenser drawer slowly. Closing
the drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing
of the bleach or fabric softener.
Liquid or Powder Detergent
• Use the cap or scoop provided by the detergent
manufacturer to measure the amount recommended.
• Detergent dosage may need to be adjusted for
water temperature, water hardness, load size and
soil level.
Other Wash Products
Color-safe bleach, water conditioner, detergent booster
and enzyme products may be added with the deter-
gent. Put liquid products with liquid detergent in the
“DETERGENT WASH” chamber or powder products with
powder detergent in the DETERGENT WASH” chamber.
Liquid Chlorine Bleach
• If desired, add liquid chlorine bleach to the cham-
ber labeled “LIQUID BLEACH” and marked with this
symbol .
• Fill to the MIN line for small loads or the MAX line
for large loads.
• DO NOT fill above the maximum fill line.
IMPORTANT
Do not mix liquids and powders.
• Add color-safe bleach with the detergent.
Liquid Fabric Softener
• If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid
fabric softener into the chamber labeled “FABRIC
SOFTENER” and marked with this symbol .
• Fill to the MIN line for small loads or the MAX line
for large loads.
• DO NOT fill above the maximum fill line.
• Use of a fabric softener-dispensing ball is not rec-
ommended in tumble action washers.

STAIN REMOVAL GUIDE
Follow the fabric care label instructions
on items to be washed.
For best results
Safe Stain Removal Procedures
To reduce the risk of fire or serious injury to persons or
property, comply with the basic warnings listed below:
• Read and comply with all instructions on stain re-
moval products.
• Keep stain removal products in their original labeled
containers and out of children’s reach.
• Thoroughly wash any utensils used.
• Do not combine stain removal products, especially
ammonia and chlorine bleach. Dangerous fumes can
result.
• Never wash items which have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other flammable
or explosive substances because they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
• Never use highly flammable solvents, such as gaso-
line, inside the home. Vapors can explode on contact
with flames or sparks.
For Successful Stain Removal:
• Remove stains promptly.
• Determine the kind of stain, then follow the recom-
mended treatment in the stain removal chart on the
next page.
• To pretreat stains, use a prewash product, liquid
detergent, or a paste made from powder detergent
and water.
• Use cold water on unknown stains as hot water can
set stains.
• Consult care label instructions for treatments to avoid
on specific fabrics.
• Check for colorfastness by testing stain remover prod-
ucts on an inside seam.
• Rinse and wash items after stain removal.
WARNING
HARMFUL VAPOR HAZARD
Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach with other
household chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust
removers, acid or products containing ammonia. These
mixtures can produce dangerous fumes which can
cause serious injury or death.

CARE AND CLEANING
Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventive)
WARNING
HARMFUL VAPOR HAZARD
Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach with other
household chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust
removers, acid or products containing ammonia. These
mixtures can produce dangerous fumes which can
cause serious injury or death.
To help prevent odors, mold or mildew, leave the door
open for a few hours after use or whenever the washer is
not in use.
TO REFRESH OR CLEAN INSIDE OF WASHER
To clean and freshen the washer, perform the system
clean cycle. For best results use the system clean cycle
once a month. To begin the cycle, press and hold the
spin speed and options buttons simultaneously for 10
seconds until the display changes to “CLn” .
REMOVE ALL ITEMS FROM WASH DRUM before filling
the detergent chamber with one (1) cup of liquid chlorine
bleach OR one (1) pouch of TIDE®WASHING MACHINE
CLEANER. DO NOT use both. Press START to begin.
ÍNOTE
If the system clean cycle is cancelled or paused
during the cycle, the washer will go through 2 rinse
cycles to clean the drum of any residual bleach before
unlocking the door.
Immediately follow up with a rinse &
spin cycle. Select fresh rinse on max
spin speed with no detergent or bleach
to help clear any residual bleach left
after the system clean cycle.
For best results
IMPORTANT
Items left in washer while performing the system
clean cycle will cause a severe out-of-balance situation
that could damage the washing machine.
CAUTION
ENTRAPMENT and TIP-OVER HAZARD
Do not leave the door open if there are small children
or pets present. An open door could entice children to
hang on the door or crawl inside the washer. If there
are no small children present, you may leave the door
ajar to prevent odor build up.
