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

WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
Lid,oc.ed @)
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, the lid locks, unlocks, and
locks again, 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.
÷Sensing
This washer will perform a series of spins to check
for load balance. When a load is started, it may take
2-3 minutes before water begins to enter the basket.
During this time, a series of clicks and a whirring noise
signal that sensing technology is determining if there
is an off-balance load.
Ill
QII
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.
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:
[] Washer will not operate if the lid is open.
[] Washer will not begin to fill with water until the lid is closed, locked, and the sensing process is complete.
This delay in fill could take 2-3 minutes.
[] Fabric Softener option must be set to Yes to ensure fabric softener dispenses at the correct time.

WASH TEMP or TEMPERATURE
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 will 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.
FABRIC SOFTENER (depending on model)
This option can be added to most cycles and must be set
to YES if using fabric softener during a cycle. It ensures that
fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for
even distribution.

@CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
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.
FILL
When the START/Pause/Unlock Lid button is pressed,
the washer will first perform a self-test on the lid lock
mechanism. You will hear a click, and the lid will unlock
briefly before locking again. The washer will use spins
to check for load balance. These spins may take several
minutes before water is added to the washer. You may
hear the hum of the spins before filling. This is normal.
WASH
You will hear the agitator moving the load. The motor
sounds may change at different stages in the cycle. The
wash time is determined by the selected soil level.
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 briefly (short hum) to move the basket
while filling. Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric
Softener knob was set to YES.
Some cycles use spray rinsing. After draining and
spinning out wash water, the washer will continue to spin
and spray in rinse water for the entire rinse time.
FINAL SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for
proper water removal, based on the selected cycle
and spin speed.
CYCLE COMPLETE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
Remove the load promptly for best results.
LID LOCKED
To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid
will lock and the Lid Locked light will turn
on. When this light is on, 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.
If you need to open the lid, press START/

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 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.
, Sort and prepare your laundry
@
[] Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the agitator and become trapped, causing
unexpected sounds.
[] Sort garments by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
[] Separate heavily soiled garments from lightly soiled.
[] Separate delicate garments 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 garments
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 garments.
[] 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 label instructions to
avoid damage to your garments.
Add detergent
Add a measured amount of detergent into the bottom of the
washer basket before adding clothes. If using an Oxi or
color-safe bleach laundry boost product, add to the bottom
of the washer basket, as well.
iMPORTANT: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use.

(on some models)
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.
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.
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric
softener into dispenser; 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. Then set Fabric Softener option knob to YES.
IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option knob must be set to YES
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 spill, 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.

This is normal operation.

WASHER MAINTENANCE
WATER iNLET HOSES
Replace inlethoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk
of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses
if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of
replacement on the label with a permanent marker.
NOTE: This washer does not include inlet hoses. See the
"installation Instructions" for more information.
rWASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and
Performing at its Best
1. Always follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions
regarding the amount of 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.
Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the
routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer
Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum,
once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs
sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may
otherwise accumulate in your washer.

QUOI DE NEUF SOUS LE COUVERCLE?
Votre nouvelle laveuse fonctionne diff@emment de votre pr6c6dente laveusede type agitateur.
Verrouillage du couvercle _D)) Bruits
Pour un essorage a plus haute vitesse, le couvercle
se verrouille et le t6moin de verrouillage du couvercle
s'allume. Lorsque ce t6moin lumineux s'allume, cela
signifie que le couvercle est verrouill6 et ne peut _tre
ouvert. Lorsque ce t6moin lumineux clignote, cela signifie
que la laveuse effectue une pause. Lorsque ce t6moin
lumineux est 6teint, cela signifie qu'on peut ouvrir le
couvercle. Une fois qu'un programme a commenc6, le
couvercle se verrouille, se d6verrouille puis se verrouille
nouveau. Si I'on doit ouvrir le couvercle pour ajouter un
v_tement apres cette p@iode, il faut appuyer sur START/
Pause/Unlock Lid (mise en marche/pause/d6verrouillage
du couvercle) puis attendre que le couvercle se
d6verrouille. Le couvercle se d6verrouille uniquement
une fois que le mouvement de la laveuse a cess& Selon
le moment oQ I'on souhaite suspendre le programme,
le couvercle peut mettre entre plusieurs secondes et
plusieurs minutes a se d6verrouiller.
Au cours de diff@ents stades du programme de
lavage, vous entendrez peut-Stre des bruits et pauses
que votre laveuse pr6c6dente ne produisait pas. II est
par exemple possible que vous entendiez un cliquetis
et un bourdonnement au d6but du programme, Iorsque
le systeme de verrouillage du couvercle effectue un
test automatique. Diff@ents bourdonnements et bruits
de frottements rythmiques se produiront & mesure
que I'agitateur 6value 1'6quilibre de la charge et qu'il
la d6place. II est aussi possible que la laveuse soit
parfois completement silencieuse, Iorsqu'elle laisse
tremper les v_tements.
(_}} D_tection I | I
La laveuse effectue une s@ie d'essorages pour contr61er 2 _
1'6quilibre de la charge. Une fois une charge mise en route,
il peut s'6couler de 2 b.3 minutes avant que de I'eau ne
p6netre dans le panier. Durant cette p6riode, une s6rie de
cliquetis et un bruit de frottements rythmiques indiquent
que la technologie de d6tection d6termine si la charge est
d6s6quilibr6e.
Ringage par vaporisation
Certains programmes utilisent I'option Ringage par
vaporisation par d6faut. Au cours de ces programmes,
on entend I'eau p6n6trer dans la laveuse tandis que la
cuve tourne, ce qui permet b.I'eau de ringage de p6n6trer
les vStements. Consulter le "Guide de programmes" pour
plus de d6tails.
IMPORTANT :
[] La laveuse ne fonctionnera pas si le couvercle est ouvert.
[] La laveuse n'entamera pas le remplissage tant que le couvercle n'aura pas 6t6 ferm6 et verrouill6 et que le processus
de d6tection n'est pas termin& Ce d61aiavant le remplissage peut prendre entre 2 et 3 minutes.
[] L'option Fabric Softener (assouplissant pour tissu) doit 6tre r6gl6e sur Yes (oui) pour que I'assouplissant pour tissu soit
distribu6 au moment appropri6 du programme.

se verrouiller & nouveau. La laveuse procede a des
essorages pour v@ifier 1'6quilibrage de la charge. Ces
essorages peuvent prendre plusieurs minutes avant que
I'eau ne soit admise dans la laveuse. Les essorages
peuvent 6mettre un bourdonnement avant le remplissage.
Ceci est normal.
