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
irnmediatel_ 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 injuryto 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.

WHAT'S NEW UNDERTHE LID?
Cleaning with Less Energy
First stage Second stage
Your new Energy Staff _'qualified washer saves energy by using
lower water levels and reduced wash temperatures, as compared
to traditional top-load washers. During the first stage of the wash
cycle, it is normal for some of the load to be above the water line.
The second stage adds the correct amount of water based on the
load size. This washer automatically adjusts the water [eve[ to the
load size - no water [eve[ selector is needed.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package 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 longer cycle times and
reduced rinsing performance. [t 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) detelgent,
Concentrated Cleaning
Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. The lower
water [eve[ combined with HE detergent during the first stage
of the wash cycle delivers detergent directly to the soils.
Normal 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 serf-test. There will be
different kinds of humming and whirring sounds as the agitator
moves the load. And sometimes, you may hear nothing at all, as
the washer determines the correct water [eve[ for your load or
allows time for clothes to soak.
When loading the washer with dirty laundry, fill it evenly
around the basket wall.
INTELLIEILU M
Water Level Control
Once you start the cycle, the lid will lock, and the washer will
begin the sensing process to determine the correct water [eve[ for
the load. This may take several minutes before water is added. YOU
will find a step-by-step description in the "Cycle Status I.ights"
section.
YOU will hear the motor turn the basket in short pulses to
thoroughly wet the load.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
Not all features and options are available on all models.
Appearance may vary.
O TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Temperature Control senses and maintains uniform
water temperatures by regulating incoming hot and
cold water.
O
O
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 a traditional
top-load washer.
o Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm water
may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperatu re.
DEEP WATER WASH
This option uses higher water level than other cycles and can
only be combined with the Heavy Duty cycle.
FABRIC SOFTENER ADDED
This option must be selected to "Yes" if adding fabric
softener. It ensures that fabric softener is added at the
correct time in the rinse cycle for even distribution.
O EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
O 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.
G
See "Cycle uide for detailed descriptions of cycles.
OSTART/PAUSE/UNLOCK BUTTON
Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the cycle
and unlock the lid. If the washer has been paused the "wash"
status light will flash. To restart the selected cycle press START
again.
NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several
minutes to unlock the lid. Press and hold for 3 seconds
to cancel a cycle.
CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR
sensing wash rinse spin done [idieCk_
The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle.
At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or
pauses that are different from traditional washers.
SENSING
When the START/Pause/Unlock 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
aslight turn, and the lid will unlock briefly before locking
again, this process may take 20 seconds to complete.
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.
[f the 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.
NOTE: Avoid opening lid during sensing phase. The sensing
process will start over when the washer is restarted. The
sensing light may also come on during the wash portions of
the cycle. This is normal. To restart the washer after the lid
has been opened press start.

WASH
YOu will hear the motor and agitator moving the load.
During the first stage of the sensing/wash cycle, water will
partially fill the washer and then begin to move the load. It
is normal to have the sensing light on during this stage. You
will hear the agitator rotate, followed by a several second
pause. This process will repeat for several minutes, allowing
the entire load to become saturated. The lower water
[eve[ combined with H Edetergent at this stage allows for
concentrated cleaning. Concentrated cleaning delivers the
detergent directly to the soils. It is normal for the load to be
above the water line during this stage. At the beginning of
the second stage, the washer will add water to the correct
[eve[ based on the load size. YOu will hear the agitator
move quicker during this stage of the wash cycle. The
motor sounds may change at different stages in the wash
cycle.
RINSE
YOu will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the
washer rinses and moves the load. For cycles that use a
spray rinse you will hear water enter the washer as the tub
spins, allowing the rinse water to penetrate the clothes.
For cycles that use the extra rinse option, you will hear
sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer rinses and
moves the load. Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric
Softener Added-Yes option was selected.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper
water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.
DONE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
Remove the load promptly for best results.
LID LOCKED
To allow for proper load sensing and
spinning, the lid will lock and the I_id
Locked light will turn on. This light
indicates that the lid is locked and
cannot be opened.
m
Lid
Locked
If you need to open the lid, press
START/Pause/Unlock. The lid will
unlock once the washer movement
has stopped. This may take several
minutes if the load was spinning at
high speed. Press START/Pause/Unlock
again to resume the cycle. Avoid
opening the lid during sensing. The
sensing process will start over when the
washer is restarted.

WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and
Performing at its Best
1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE
detergent manufacturer's instructions regarding the amount of
HE detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended
amount because that may increase the rate at which detergent
and soil residue accumulate inside your washer, which in
turn may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not
exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better
job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent
accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry
out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing
residue.
