Using Less Water and Energy
This washer is designed to use less water and energy, and
complies with all 2015 energy standards. Wash cycles with
controlled temperatures are designed to maintain cleaning
performance while using less water and energy compared to
older traditional washers. As a result, water levels will be lower,
and hot and warm wash temperatures may not be as warm as
you are used to.
Traditional washer Reduced water washer

Check Your Vent System for Good Airow
Good airow
Along with heat, dryers require good airow to efciently
dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and
improve your energy savings. See Installation Instructions.
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role
in good airow.
Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered
by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless
of who installed the dryer.
Maintain good airow:
Good Better
n Clean your lint screen before each load.
n Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
n Use the shortest length of vent possible.
n Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces airow.
n Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at
least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure
to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your
dryer for nal product check.
n Clear away items from the front of the dryer.
4"

Use Automatic cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
Use the Automatic Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic Dry
cycles, drying air temperature or moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the
dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. The Energy Preferred cycle will provide optimal energy savings.
With Timed Drying, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to
overdrying. Use Timed Drying for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

AUTOMATIC DRY – Automatic cycles give the best drying
in the shortest time. They sense moisture in the load or air
temperature and shut off when the load reaches the selected
dryness level. Drying time varies based on fabric type, load
size, and dryness setting.
Select a drying temperature based on the fabrics in your
load. If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a
load, select the lower setting rather than the higher setting.

• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the agitator 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.
• 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 label instructions to
avoid damage to your garments.
1. Sort and prepare your laundry
Using Your Washer
Add a measured amount of detergent or single-dose laundry
packet into the basket before adding clothes. If using Oxi-type
boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals, add
to the bottom of the washer basket as well.
IMPORTANT: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
to determine the amount of laundry products to use.
2. Add laundry products

10
5. Add fabric softener to dispenser
(on 27" models)
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 lling the dispenser with warm
water until liquid reaches the underside of the rim. See max ll
line arrows. Do not overll.
Adding Liquid Fabric Softener Manually to Wash Load
On models without a fabric softener dispenser (24" models),
or to add fabric softener manually on dispenser models, during
the nal rinse, wait until the washer has completed lling, then
push in the Cycle knob to pause the washer. Lift the lid and add
the measured recommended amount of liquid fabric softener
(diluted with 1/2 to 1 cup [125 to 250 mL] warm water). 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 pull out the Cycle knob to start the
washer.
Do not overll, 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.
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.
3. Load laundry into washer
IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack or force items into washer.
Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce
wrinkling and tangling.
Turn Cycle knob clockwise to choose your wash cycle.
For more information, see “Cycle Guide.”
