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 aft
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 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 sever-
al minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time.
[]
[]
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" for grounding instructions.

WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Cleaaiag with Less Automatic Load Size Sensing
Traditional agitator-style
washer Washer with low-water
washplate wash system
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.
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.
Choosiag the Right Detergeat
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 clothes to soak.

CONTROL P EL FEATURES
O EST TIME REMAINING DISPLAY
The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time
required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size
and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display.
Tightly packing, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may
cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.
WASH CYCLE KNOB
Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your
O
washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load.
See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles.
LID LOCK
To allow for proper load sensing and spinning,
the lid will lock and the Lid Lock light will turn on.
This light indicates that the lid is locked and cannot
be opened.
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.

CYCLE MODIFIERS
When you select a cycle, its default modifiers will light up.
Not all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all
models.
TEMP LEVEL
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 may 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.
0
SPIN SPEED
This washer automatically selects the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can
be changed. Not all spin speeds are available with
all cycles.
• Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but
may increase wrinkling in your load.
• Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will
leave your load more damp.
CYCLE OPTIONS
When you select a cycle, its default options will light up. Not
all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all models.
PREWASH
Use this option to add an extra agitation and soak time
to the beginning of any cycle to break up tough stains.
FABRIC SOFTENER
This option must be selected if using fabric softener
during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added
at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
DEEP CLEAN
This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough
stains. It will add additional agitation and soak time to
the cycle.
END SIGNAL
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds
at end of cycle. You may select Hi, Low, or Off (no
indicator lit). A louder signal is helpful in alerting you that
the cycle is complete.
You may also add or remove options for each cycle. Not all
options can be used with all cycles, and some are preset to
work with certain cycles.
SOIL LEVEL
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. As
you press Soil Level, the cycle time (minutes) will increase
or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display and
a different wash time will appear.
For most loads, use the Soil Level that is preset with the
cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy
fabrics, press Soil Level to select more wash time, if
needed. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press
Soil Level to select less wash time, if needed. Lower
Soil Level setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.

O CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS iNDiCATOR
sensing prewash wash rinse spin done
The Cycle Status Lights shows the progress of a cycle.
At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds
or pauses that are different from traditional washers.
S E N S [N G :o: :j
sensing prewash wash rinse spin done
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 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. [f the sensing light is on, the 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 the lid during sensing. The
sensing process will start over when the washer
is restarted. The sensing light may also come
on during the Prewash and Wash portions of the
cycle. This is normal.
PREWASH sensing prewash wash rinse spin done
WASH sensing prewash wash rinse spin done
You will hear the motor and washplate moving the load.
Unlike traditional washers, the load is not covered with
water. 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. The motor sounds may change at different stages
in the cycle. The wash time is determined by the selected
soil level.
RINSE sensing prewash wash rinse spin done
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer
rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning
on briefly (short hum) to move the basket while filling. Fabric
softener will be added if the Fabric Softener option was
selected. Some cycles use spray rinsing.
SPiN sensing prewash wash rinse spin done
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper
water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.
DONE sensing prewash wash rinse spin done
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
Remove the load promptly for best results.
Use this option to add an extra agitation and soak
time to the beginning of any cycle to break up tough
stains.

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.
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.
• 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 labels instructions
to avoid damage to your garments.
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. Try mixing different sized
garments to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Garments need to move freely for best cleaning
and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

Using Laundry Product Dispensers
Add HE detergent to dispenser
Detergent
Add a measured amount of HE detergent
into detergent tray. This tray holds 3 oz. (89 mL). Do not
overfill tray - adding too much detergent may cause detergent
to be dispensed into the washer too early.
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
clothes.
HELPFUL TIP: See "Washer Maintenance" for information
on recommended method of cleaning washer dispenser trays.

if desired
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric
softener into tray, always follow manufacturer's directions for
correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size.
Close dispenser drawer, then select Fabric Softener option.
IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option must be selected to
ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle. Do not
overfill or dilute. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric
softener to immediately dispense into washer.
If Extra Rinse option is selected, fabric softener will be
dispensed into the last rinse.
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the
dispenser at the end of a cycle.

water pipes, and faucets.)
Unbalanced loading can cause basket to be out of alignment
and cause water to splash off tub. See "Using Your Washer"
for loading instructions.
This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load will
not be completely underwater. The washer senses load sizes and
adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. See "What's
New under the Lid."
IMPORTANT: Do not add more water to washer. The added water
lifts the load off the washplate, resulting in less cleaning.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to
inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be turned on.
Check that inlet valve screens have not become clogged.
Check for any kinks in inlet hoses, which can restrict water flow_
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 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.
I asher won't run

Washer may be stopped to reduce suds.
The washer senses the dry load with short spins that may take
2 to 3 minutes before water is added. You may hear the hum
of the spins. This is normal.
Remove several items, rearrange load evenly around the
washplate. Do not load garments directly over the center of the
washplate. Close lid and press START/Pause/Unlock.
Add only 1 or 2 addNonN garments after cycle is started.
Do not add more water to the washer.

detergent directions based on your load requirements.
To remove suds, cancel cycle. Select Rinse & Spin. Press
START/Pause/Unlock. Do not add more detergent.
Small items may have been caught in pump or between basket
and tub, which can slow draining.
Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin
for your garment. To remove extra water in the load, select
Drain & Spin. Load may need to be rearranged to allow even
distribution of the load in the basket.
Tightly packed or unbalanced loads may not allow the washer
to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly
arrange the wet load for balanced spinning. Select Drain & Spin
to remove excess water. See "Using Your Washer" for loading
recommendations.
Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose form and
securely attach to drainpipe or tub. Do not tape over drain opening.
Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96' (2.4 m) above the
floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose.
Use only HE detergent. Always measure and follow detergent
directions for your load. To remove extra suds, select Rinse &
Spin. Do not add detergent.
The high spin speeds combined with air flow during the final spin
can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry spots
during the final spin. This is normal.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet, and
have both hot and cold water flowing to inlet valve.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.
Energy Star® qualified washers use cooler wash and rinse water
temperatures than traditonal topqoad washer. This includes
cooler hot and warm washes. J

QU()I DE NEUF $0U$ LE COUWERCLE?
Nettoyer avec moins d'eau
Laveuse traditionnelle de
type agitateur
Laveuse a faible consommation
d'eau avec plateau de lavage
La nouveaut6 la plus flagrante de cette nouvelle laveuse est
son systeme de lavage b.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 d6tergeat appropri6
Utiliser uniquement des d6tergents 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 v_tements 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 concentr6
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.
Soas 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 I'impulseur 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 : Le panier de la laveuse ne sera pas 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.

LID LOCK (VERROUILLAGE DU COUVERCLE}
Pour permettre une bonne detection de la lid lock
charge, le couvercle se verrouille et le temoin
de verrouillage du couvercle s'allume. Ce temoin
lumineux indique que le couvercle est verrouille
et ne peut &tre ouvert.
Si I'on dolt ouvrir le couvercle, appuyer sur start
START/Pause/Unlock (mJse en marche/pause/ o

fois que le mouvement de la laveuse a cess&
IIse peut que cela prenne plusieurs minutes si
la laveuse essorait la charge & grande vitesse, pause
Appuyer de nouveau sur START/Pause/Unlock untock
(mise en marche/pause/deverrouillage) pour
poursuivre le programme.
MODIFICATEURS DE PROGRAMMES
Lorsqu'on selectionne un programme, ses reglages par
defaut s'allument. Certains programmes et options ne sont
pas disponibles sur certains modeles.
TEMP LEVEL (temperature de lavage)
La fonction de contr61e de temp@ature detecte et
maintient une temperature unJforme de I'eau en regulant
le debit d'arrivee d'eau chaude et d'eau froide.
Selectionner une temperature de lavage en fonction
du type de tissu et de salet6 a laver. Pour des resultats
optimaux, suivre les instructions sur 1'etiquette du
v_tement et utiliser la temperature d'eau de lavage la plus
chaude possible qui reste sans danger pour le tissu.
• Les temperatures de I'eau tiede et de I'eau chaude
seront inf@ieures a celles de votre precedente laveuse.
• M_me avec un reglage de lavage a I'eau froide, il est
possible que de I'eau tiede soit ajoutee & la laveuse
pour maintenir une temp@ature minimale.
O
NIVEAU DE SALETI_
Le Soil Level (niveau de salete) (duree de lavage) est
preregl6 pour chaque programme de lavage. Lorsque
vous appuyez sur le niveau de salete, le temps de cycle
augmente ou diminue dans I'affichage du temps restant
estime et un temps de lavage diff@ente apparaft. Pour
la plupart des charges, utiliser Soil Level (niveau de
salete) pr@egle pour le programme choisi.
Pour les tissus tres sales et robustes, appuyer sur
Soil Level (niveau de salete) pour prolonger la duree
de lavage si necessaire. Pour les tissus peu sales et
delicats, appuyer sur Soil Level (nlveau de salete) pour
abreger la duree de lavage si necessaire. Un reglage de
niveau de salete inf@ieur aidera a reduire I'emm_lement
et le froissement.
VITESSE D'ESSORAGE
Cette laveuse selectionne automatiquement la vitesse
d'essorage en fonction du programme selectionn& Les
vitesses prereglees peuvent etre modifiees. Sur certains
programmes, certaines vitesses d'essorage ne sont pas
disponibles.
• Des vitesses d'essorage plus 6levees signifient des
durees de sechage plus courtes mais elles peuvent
augmenter le froissement de la charge.
• Des vitesses d'essorage plus lentes signifient moins
de froissement mais laissent la charge plus humide.
OPTIONS DE PROGRAMMES
Lorsqu'on selectionne un programme, ses reglages par
defaut s'allument. Certains programmes et options ne sont
pas disponibles sur certains modeles.
PREWASH (pr_=lavage)

le m6canisme de verrouillage du couvercle. On entend
un d6clic, le panier effectue un 16gertour, et le couvercle
se d6verrouille brievement avant de se verrouiller &
nouveau.
Une fois le couvercle verrouill6 pour la deuxieme fois,
la laveuse utilise des essorages lents et courts pour
estimer le volume de la charge. Ces essorages de
d6tection peuvent prendre 2 & 3 minutes avant que
de I'eau ne soit ajout6e a la charge et les essorages
peuvent 6mettre un bourdonnement. Si le t6moin
lumineux de d6tection est allum6, cela signifie que la
laveuse fonctionne correctement. On entend le moteur
qui fait tourner le panier par de de courtes impulsions
pour mouiller I'int6gralit6 de la charge. La laveuse
d6place ensuite brievement la charge, fait une pause
pour permettre & I'eau de tremper la charge, et continue
