Location Requirements
Selecting the proper location for your washer improves
performance and minimizes noise and possible washer “walk.”
Your washer can be installed under a custom counter, or in a
basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area. See “Drain
System.”
Companion appliance location requirements should also be
considered. Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
■A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.
■A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of where
the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See
“Electrical Requirements.”
■Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the hot
and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi
(137.9-689.6 kPa).
■A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
washer. Installing the washer on soft floor surfaces, such as
carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.
■A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer with a total weight
(water and load) of 400 lbs (180 kg).
Do not operate your washer in temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low
temperatures.
Installation clearances
■The location must be large enough to allow the washer door
to be fully opened.
■Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation
and servicing. The door opens more than 90°, and it is not
reversible.
■Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor
moldings.

3. Check the levelness of the washer by placing a level on the top
edge of the washer, first side to side then front to back.
If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly
before tipping back. If the washer is not level, first prop the front
with a wooden block and adjust the front feet height moving the
hexagonal plastic part as necessary. Repeat to adjust back feet.
4. Make sure all four feet are in firm contact with the floor. Then
check that the washer is perfectly level (use a level). Repeat steps
1-3 until washer is level.
5. After the washer is level, and all four feet are in firm contact with
the floor, use a 9/16" (14 mm) open-end wrench to turn the
locknuts on the feet, tightly against the washer cabinet.
IMPORTANT: All four locknuts on the feet must be tightened. If
the locknuts are not tight against the washer cabinet, the washer
may vibrate.
6. The washer should not move front to back, side to side, or
diagonally when pushed on its top edges.
7. Confirm the levelness of the washer.
Complete Installation
1. Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the
correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding
method. See “Electrical Requirements.”
2. Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part,
go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.

4. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
5. Check that both water faucets are on.
6. Check for leaks around faucets and inlet hoses.
7. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
8. Read “Washer Use.”
9. To test and to clean your washer, measure 1/2 the detergent
manufacturer’s recommended amount of High Efficiency (HE)
detergent for a medium-size load. Pour the detergent into the
detergent dispenser. Select NORMAL and then press START/
PAUSE. Allow the washer to complete one whole cycle.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

10
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Your new front-loading high efficiency washer, was designed to
conserve resources and lower your water and energy bills. The
washer is designed to determine and then provide the amount of
water needed for the best performance. The time of operation may
be greater for this new system than for a conventional washer.
Electronic Controls
Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a
beginner or an expert.
Auto Water Level
Adjusting to the size of the load, this feature allows the washer to
use the minimal amount of water needed to clean and rinse the
clothes. With a low water level, you can obtain the same results.
Because only the required amount of water is used, the washer
saves energy, too. You can obtain the same washing results for
small and large load sizes.
Larger Load Size
Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such
as an average size sleeping bag. You are also able to wash more
clothes at one time, which means fewer loads. You can wash a
pillow or a large stuffed teddy bear.
Suspension System
To reduce washer “walk” and “off-balance” conditions, your new
washer combines:
■2 Springs to isolate vibration
■3 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement
Stainless Steel Drum
The stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher
spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time.
Adaptive Variable Speed Motor
The motor adapts to the load size and to the cycle selected to give
the optimum cleaning, rinsing, and spinning conditions. The motor
can handle slow speeds needed for delicate items and is powerful
enough to drive an average clothes load up to high-speed spin.
Spin Speeds
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle
selected. For some cycles, the default spin speed can be changed if
desired. This washer offers up to three different spin speed choices.
Add Clothes
This option is available in all wash cycles except Rinse, Drain &
Spin, and Clean Washer with AFFRESH™ cycle. When this option is
available at the beginning of the cycle, the Add Clothes status light
will illuminate for the first 7 minutes. This washer allows a 7-minute
period in which other garments may be added to a load.
Dynamic Balance
A precision balancing system allows the washer to reach high-
speed spins. The washer spins faster so that clothes coming out of
the washer will have less moisture than with traditional top load
machines. In addition, if the Dynamic Balance system detects off-
balance loads during spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that
they are evenly balanced.
Smart Dispensers
The three compartments in the dispenser allow loading of all
laundry products before the washer is started. The products
will be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for high-
performance cleaning. The bleach release system is included
in the detergent advantage system. The detergent is added at
the beginning of the cycle, and the bleach is added after the
enzymes have had a chance to do their cleaning. The fabric
softener is dispensed in the rinse cycle or in the 2nd Rinse, if
selected. The Detergent Advantage System Dispenser tray is
easily removed for cleaning.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

Starting Your Washer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
The following is a guide to using your washer. Please refer to
specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.
Do not store laundry products on the top surface of this washer.
Vibration is normal during operation.
Using the Proper 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.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
First Wash Cycle Without Laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during
the final installation step, choose the Normal cycle and run it
without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. Use 1/2
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
1. To load washer
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 washer. Do not tightly pack the washer. Tightly
packed items can cause poor cleaning.
■Always empty pockets. Small items can be caught within
the washer resulting in noise or plugging the pump.
■The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed.
Washer door should close easily.
■Mix large and small items. Avoid washing a single item.
Load evenly.
■Wash small items such as infant socks in mesh garment bags.
It is recommended that more than one garment bag be used
and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of
material.
■When unloading garments, occasionally check under the
rubber rim at the front of the tub for small items.
2. Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the lock clicks.
After a lock check at the beginning of the cycle, the washer door
will remain locked during the wash cycle.
NOTE: After any wash cycle is completed, the door must be
opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin. The
door can be opened only if Start/Pause is selected while the
Add Clothes light is illuminated or if the cycle has been
canceled. See “To cancel a cycle” in the “Changing Cycles
and Options” section.
3. Open the dispenser drawer and add laundry products to the
detergent, bleach, or fabric softener compartments. Close drawer
slowly to avoid spills. See “Using the Dispenser.”
4. Turn on the washer by pressing POWER/CANCEL or by turning
the cycle selector. The indicator light for the selected cycle will
illuminate. When selecting a Wash Cycle, the preset Wash Temp
and Spin Speed for the selected cycle will illuminate. These
settings provide the recommended fabric care for the selected
cycle. See “Cycles.”
5. Select the desired Options. Not all Options are available with all
cycles. See “Options.”
6. If desired, select the Cycle Signal button. The signal is helpful
when you are washing items that should be removed from the
washer as soon as it stops. Press Cycle Signal On, if no signal is
desired, Press Cycle Signal Off. Light will not be illuminated.

12
7. To begin the wash cycle immediately
Press and hold START/PAUSE (for approximately 1 second).
■You will hear the door locking, unlocking, and locking
again. This is normal.
■If you do not press START/PAUSE within 5 minutes of
choosing a cycle, the washer automatically shuts off.
■When the wash cycle is complete, the DONE status light
illuminates, 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 and the
DONE light goes off until door is opened. To power down
the washer manually after the wash cycle is complete, press
POWER/CANCEL once.
8. To begin the wash cycle later
Press DELAY START until the desired delay time (in hours) is
displayed. Press START/PAUSE. The indicator will remain
illuminated during the desired time selected.
IMPORTANT: When delaying a cycle, use only powdered
detergents in the main wash compartment since liquid
detergents may seep out of the compartment during Delay,
before the wash cycle begins.
Using the Dispenser
Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate
compartments for your laundry products—detergent, liquid chlorine
bleach, and liquid fabric softener. Laundry 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.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
To fill dispenser compartments
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.
2. Add the desired laundry products to the proper compartment.
3. Push in the dispenser drawer slowly and completely (to avoid a
spill).

need additional cleaning effort. This cycle combines high and
medium tumbling action, with MaxExtract™ spin speed and
additional water in last rinse to flush excess dirt from the load. For
better results, use this cycle combined with the stain treat option.
Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled
white fabrics with the addition of chlorine 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 fast-speed tumbling, longer wash
time, and ex high spin speed to shorten drying time. It also includes

Rapid Wash
Use this cycle to wash small loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments that
are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, a
shortened wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten drying time.
Large wash loads will result in the machine increasing the wash
time.
Delicate
Use this cycle to wash sheer fabrics and lingerie. This cycle
combines low-speed tumbling and low-speed spin for gentle fabric
care.
■Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
socks.
Silk
Use this cycle to clean washable silk and ultra delicate garments
(check label instructions to make sure the garment is washable.)
This cycle gently tumbles and drains with the lowest spinning to
gently clean garments and minimize wrinkling. Garments will
contain a higher amount of water at the end of this cycle because of
the low spin action.
Rinse, Drain & Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fast-
speed tumbling and ex high spin speed. If desired, you can reduce
the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the SPIN
SPEED option.

Soak
Use the Soak cycle to help remove set-in stains on fabrics. This
cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water followed by
drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal distribution of
the laundry, and a soaking time without drum movement improve
the removal of set-in stains. Drain without spin assures gentle
treatment, even for delicate articles.
Clean Washer with AFFRESH™ cycle
Use the Clean Washer with AFFRESH™ 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®washer cleaner tablet or

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.
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. Small items can be caught with the washer
resulting in noise or plugging the pump.
■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.
NOTE: If you are washing only small items, it is recommended
that more than one mesh 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
noncolorfast 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 left in the
washer basket for a long time.
■When unloading garments, occasionally check under the
colored seal at the front of the tub for small items.
