WASHER SAFETY

WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be
marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” 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.
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.
Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.
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.
Automatic Load Size Sensing
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 nd 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.
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.
Cleaning with Less Water
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.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
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.
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 modiers will light up.
Not all cycles, options, and modiers 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.
SOIL LEVEL
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.
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.
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.

CYCLE OPTIONS
When you select a cycle, its default options will light up.
NOTE: Not all cycles, options, and modiers are available
on all models.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
Button Sounds:
Press and hold EXTRA RINSE for 3 seconds to turn the
button sounds on or off.
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.
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.
CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR
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.
SENSING
When the Start/Pause/Unlock button is pressed,
the washer will rst 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 briey 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. If 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 briey, 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 owing 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 Wash portions
of the cycle. This is normal.

RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer rinses
and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning on briey
(short hum) to move the basket while lling. Fabric softener will be
added if the Fabric Softener option was selected. Some cycles use
spray rinsing.
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.
WASH
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.

NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions
to avoid damage to your garments.
1. Sort and prepare your laundry
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.
2. Load laundry into washer

7
Add a measured amount of HE detergent
into detergent tray. This tray holds 3 oz. (89 mL). Do not overll
tray - adding too much detergent may cause detergent to be
dispensed into the washer too early.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efciency detergents. The package
will be marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” 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.
3. Add HE detergent to dispenser 5. Add fabric softener to dispenser
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 overll or
dilute. Overlling 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.
4. Add liquid chlorine bleach

If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Feet may not be in contact
with the oor and locked. Front and rear feet must be in rm contact with oor, and washer
must be level to operate properly. Jam nuts must be tight against
the bottom of the cabinet.
Check oor for exing or sagging. If ooring is uneven, a 3/4" (19 mm)
piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.
See “Level the Washer” in “Installation Instructions”.
Load could be unbalanced. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Do not
load garments directly over the center of the washplate. Adding wet
items to washer or adding more water to basket could unbalance
washer.
Wash smaller loads to reduce imbalance.
Use Bulky cycle for oversized, non-absorbent items such as comforters
or poly-lled jackets. See "Cycle Guide".
See “Cycle Guide” and “Using Your Washer” in this "Use and Care
Guide”.
Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins could fall
between basket and tub or may block pump. It may be necessary to
call for service to remove items.

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 ow during the nal spin can
cause items near the top of the load to develop dry spots during the
nal spin. This is normal.
High speed spins extract more
moisture than traditional top-load
washers.

SÉCURITÉ DE LA LAVEUSE

QUOI DE NEUF SOUS LE COUVERCLE?
Choix du détergent approprié
Utiliser uniquement des détergents Haute efcacité.
L’emballage portera la mention “HE” ou “High Efciency”
(haute efcacité). Un lavage avec faible consommation
d’eau produit un excès de mousse avec un détergent non HE
ordinaire. Il est probable que l’utilisation d’un détergent ordinaire
prolongera la durée des programmes et réduira la performance
de rinçage. Ceci peut aussi entraîner des défaillances des
composants et une moisissure perceptible. Les détergents HE
sont conçus pour produire la quantité de mousse adéquate
pour le meilleur rendement. Suivre les recommandations
du fabricant pour déterminer la quantité de détergent à utiliser.
Sons normaux prévisibles
Au cours des différents stades du programme de lavage, vous
entendrez peut-être des bruits que votre laveuse précédente
ne produisait pas. Par exemple, vous entendrez peut-être
un cliquetis au début du programme lorsque le système de
verrouillage du couvercle effectue un test automatique. On
entendra différents bourdonnements et bruits de frottements
rythmiques à mesure que l’impulseur déplace la charge. Parfois,
il est possible que la laveuse soit complètement silencieuse,
lorsqu’elle détermine le niveau d’eau adéquat ou qu’elle laisse
tremper les vêtements.
Utiliser uniquement un détergent Haute efcacité (HE).
Nettoyage concentré
Le système de lavage à faible consommation d’eau signie un
lavage concentré. Plutôt que de diluer du détergent comme
dans une laveuse de type agitateur, cette laveuse libère le
détergent directement sur les endroits souillés.
Détection automatique de taille
de charge
Une fois que l’on démarre le programme, le couvercle se
verrouille et la laveuse entame un processus de détection
pour déterminer le niveau d’eau approprié à la charge. Voir
la description pas-à-pas dans la section “Témoins lumineux
de programme”.
Vous entendrez le moteur faire tourner le panier par de brefs
mouvements d’impulsion pour bien imbiber la charge. Cette
méthode de lavage avec faible consommation d’eau utilise moins
d’eau et d’énergie qu’une laveuse traditionnelle de type agitateur.
La nouveauté la plus remarquable de cette nouvelle laveuse
est son système de lavage à 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 sélecteur de niveau d’eau.
Charger les vêtements sans les tasser et de façon uniforme
le long du plateau de lavage. Ne pas placer les vêtements
directement au centre du plateau de lavage – celui-ci doit
être visible.
À mesure que la laveuse imbibe et déplace la charge, les
vêtements se tassent dans le panier. Ceci est normal et ne
signie pas que l’on doive rajouter des vêtements.
IMPORTANT : Le panier de la laveuse ne sera pas rempli d’eau,
comme avec votre précédente laveuse de type agitateur. Il est
normal qu’une partie de la charge dépasse du niveau d’eau.

Pour les tissus peu sales et délicats, appuyer sur SOIL
LEVEL (NIVEAU DE SALETÉ) pour abréger la durée de
lavage si nécessaire. Un réglage de niveau de saleté
inférieur aidera à réduire l’emmêlement et le froissement.
SPIN SPEED (Vitesse d'essorage)
Cette laveuse sélectionne automatiquement la vitesse
d’essorage en fonction du programme sélectionné. Les
vitesses préréglées peuvent être modiées. Sur certains
programmes, certaines vitesses d’essorage ne sont pas
disponibles.

CYCLE OPTIONS (Options de programmes)
Lorsqu’on sélectionne un programme, ses réglages par

REMARQUE : Certains programmes et options ne sont pas
disponibles sur certains modèles.
EXTRA RINSE (Rinçage supplémentaire)
On peut utiliser cette option pour ajouter
automatiquement un second rinçage à la plupart
des programmes.
Le son des boutons :
Appuyer sans relâcher sur EXTRA RINSE (RINÇAGE
SUPPLÉMENTAIRE) pendant 3 secondes pour activer
ou désactiver cette caractéristique.
FABRIC SOFTENER (Assouplissant pour tissu)
Cette option doit être sélectionnée si l’on utilise de
l’assouplissant pour tissu durant un programme. Ceci
garantit que l’assouplissant pour tissu est ajouté au bon
moment lors du rinçage pour être correctement distribué.
On peut aussi ajouter ou supprimer des options pour chaque
programme. Noter que certaines options ne peuvent pas être
utilisées avec certains programmes, et que certaines d’entre
elles sont préréglées pour ne fonctionner qu’avec certains
programmes.
TABLEAU DE COMMANDE ET CARACTÉRISTIQUES
BOUTON DE PROGRAMME DE LAVAGE
Utiliser le bouton de programme pour sélectionner les
programmes disponibles de la laveuse. Tourner le bouton
pour séleccioner un programme correspondant à la charge
de linge. Voir “Guide de programmes” pour des descriptions
de programmes détaillées.
LID LOCK (Verrouillage du couvercle)
Pour permettre une bonne détection de
la charge, le couvercle se verrouille et le témoin
de verrouillage du couvercle s’allume. Ce témoin
lumineux indique que le couvercle est verrouillé
et ne peut être ouvert.
Si l’on doit ouvrir le couvercle, appuyer sur
START/PAUSE/UNLOCK (MISE EN MARCHE/
PAUSE/DÉVERROUILLAGE). Le couvercle
se déverrouille une fois que le mouvement
de la laveuse a cessé. Il se peut que cela prenne
plusieurs minutes si la laveuse essorait la charge
à grande vitesse. Appuyer de nouveau sur
START/PAUSE/UNLOCK (MISE EN MARCHE/PAUSE/
DÉVERROUILLAGE) pour poursuivre le programme.
CYCLE MODIFIERS
(Modicadores de programmes)
Lorsqu’on sélectionne un programme, ses réglages par
défaut s’allument. Certains programmes et options ne sont
pas disponibles sur certains modèles.
TEMP LEVEL (Température de lavage)
La fonction de contrôle de température détecte et
maintient une température uniforme de l’eau en régulant
le débit d’arrivée d’eau chaude et d’eau froide.
Sélectionner une température de lavage en fonction
du type de tissu et de saleté à laver. Pour des résultats
optimaux, suivre les instructions sur l’étiquette du
vêtement et utiliser la température d’eau de lavage la plus
chaude possible qui reste sans danger pour le tissu.

TÉMOINS LUMINEUX DES PROGRAMMES
Les témoins lumineux indiquent la progression du
programme. À chaque étape du processus, il est possible
que l’on remarque des pauses ou des sons différents de
ceux que l’on remarque avec des laveuses ordinaires.
SENSING (Détection)
Lorsqu’on appuie sur le bouton Start/Pause/Unlock
(Mise en marche/pause/déverrouillage), la laveuse
effectue un test automatique sur le mécanisme de
verrouillage du couvercle. On entend un déclic, le panier
effectue un léger tour, et le couvercle se déverrouille
brièvement avant de se verrouiller à nouveau.
Une fois le couvercle verrouillé pour la deuxième fois,
la laveuse utilise des essorages lents et courts pour
estimer le volume de la charge. Ces essorages de
détection peuvent prendre 2 à 3 minutes avant que
de l’eau ne soit ajoutée à la charge et les essorages
peuvent émettre un bourdonnement. Si le témoin
lumineux de détection est allumé, cela signie que la
laveuse fonctionne correctement. On entend le moteur
qui fait tourner le panier par de de courtes impulsions
pour mouiller l’intégralité de la charge. La laveuse
déplace ensuite brièvement la charge, fait une pause
pour permettre à l’eau de tremper la charge, et continue
à ajouter de l’eau. Ce processus peut se répéter jusqu’à
ce que la quantité d’eau correcte ait été ajoutée à la
charge. Il est aussipossible que l’on entende de l’eau
couler dans le distributeur, ajoutant le détergent
à la charge.
REMARQUE : Éviter d’ouvrir le couvercle pendant
la détection de la charge. Le processus de détection
reprend depuis le début quand la laveuse est remise
en marche. Le témoin de détection peut s’allumer
également lors des étapes de lavage du programme.
Ceci est normal.
5WASH (Lavage)
On entend le moteur et le plateau de lavage déplacer
la charge. Contrairement aux laveuses ordinaires,
la charge n’est pas complètement submergée dans l’eau.
Un nettoyage avec faible niveau d’eau signie un nettoyage
concentré. Plutôt que de diluer du détergent comme dans
une laveuse de type agitateur, cette laveuse libère le détergent
directement sur les endroits souillés. Les bruits émis par
le moteur peuvent changer lors des différentes étapes du
programme. La durée de lavage est déterminée par le niveau
de saleté sélectionné.
RINSE (Rinçage)
On entend des sons similaires à ceux entendus lors
du programme de lavage à mesure que la laveuse rince
et déplace la charge. Vous pouvez entendre le moteur
tourner brièvement pour déplacer le panier pendant
le remplissage. L’assouplissant pour tissu sera distribué
si l’option Fabric Softener (Assouplissant pour tissu) a été
sélectionnée. Quelques programmes utilisent un rinçage
par vaporisation.
SPIN (Essorage)
La laveuse essore la charge à des vitesses augmentant
graduellement pour une bonne extraction de l’eau,
en fonction du programme et de la vitesse d’essorage
sélectionnée.
DONE (Terminé)
Une fois le programme terminé, ce témoin s’allume.
Retirer la charge rapidement pour un résultat optimal.

Séparer les articles qui forment la charpie de ceux
qui la retiennent. Les articles synthétiques, tricots
et articles en velours retiennent la charpie provenant
des serviettes, des tapis et des tissus chenille.
REMARQUE : Toujours lire et suivre les instructions des
étiquettes de soin des tissus pour éviter d’endommager
les vêtements.
1. Trier et préparer le linge 2. Charger les vêtements
dans la laveuse
Charger les vêtements sans les tasser
et de façon uniforme le long du plateau
de lavage. Ne pas placer les vêtements
directement au centre du plateau de
lavage – celui-ci doit être visible. Essayer
de mélanger différents types d’articles
pour réduire l’emmêlement.
IMPORTANT : Les articles doivent pouvoir se déplacer
librement pour un nettoyage optimal et pour réduire
le froissement et l’emmêlement.
