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. If the 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.
[] See "Electrical Requirements" located in the installation
instructions for grounding instructions.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:
WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.
WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm.

WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LiD?
Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
®Lid Lock
To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the
Lid Locked light will turn on. When this light is lit, the lid
is locked and cannot be opened. When this light is blinking,
the washer is paused. When this light is off, the lid can be
opened.
After a cycle is started, water will enter washer and then
lock. If you need to open the lid to add a garment after
this point_ you must press START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid and
wait for the lid to unlock.
The lid will only unlock after washer movement has
stopped.
Depending on when in the cycle you try to pause, it may
take several seconds to several minutes for the lid to unlock.
Press START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid to resume the cycle.
Ill Sounds
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds
and pauses 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 agitator tests for load balance or
moves the load. And, sometimes, you may hear nothing
at all as the washer allows time for clothes to soak.
Sensing
This washer will perform a series of spins to check for load
balance. During this time, a series of clicks and a whirring
noise signal that sensing technology is determining if there
is an off-balance load.
Spray Rinse
Select cycles default to a spray rinse. During these cycles,
you will hear water enter the washer as the tub spins,
allowing the rinse water to penetrate clothes. Check the
"Cycle Guide" for details.
IMPORTANT:
*After the washer basket fills to the selected water level, the lid must be closed before the wash cycle can start.
If filling stops with the lid open, close lid and press START button.
*A Fabric Softener option must be selected to ensure fabric softener dispenses at the correct time.

and tangling.
WASH TEMP
Wash Temp 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 may be cooler than what your
previous washer provided.
*Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm
water may be added to the washer to maintain
a minimum temperature. All rinses are cold.

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 obiect
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.
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, fie 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.
*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, knJts_and corduroy fabrics wJJJpick up
lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions to
avoid damage to your garments.
Add laundry products
Add a measured of amount of detergent or single=dose laundry
packet into the basket.
If using OxJ-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener
crystals, add to the bottom of the washer basket before adding
clothes.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the
amount of laundry products to use.
8

Load garments in loose heaps evenly
around basket wall. For best results, do
not pack the load tightly. Do not wrap
large items such as sheets around the
agitator; load them in loose piles around
the sides of the basket. Try mixing
different sized items to reduce tangling.
iMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack or force
items into washer. Items need to move freely for best cleaning
and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
4. Add liquid chlorine bleach
to dispenser
Chlorine Bleach
Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (250 mL).
Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same
cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
(on some models)
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric
softener into dispenser (on some models);
always follow manufacturer's directions for
correct amount of fabric softener based on
your load size.
Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser with warm
water until liquid reaches the underside of the rim. See max fill line
arrows.
iMPORTANT: One Rinse with Fabric Softener or 2nd Rinse
with Fabric Softener option must be selected to ensure proper
distribution at correct time in cycle.
Adding Liquid Fabric Softener Manually to Wash Load
During the final rinse, wait until the washer has completed filling,
press the START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid button to pause the washer. Lift
the lid and add the measured recommended amount of liquid
fabric softener. Do not allow liquid fabric softener to spJJJ_splash,
drip, or run into the basket or on load. Do not use more than the
recommended amount. Close the lid and press the START/PAUSE/
Unlock Lid button again to start the washer.
