The w ashp late m oves the load w hile w ater is added in sm all
am ounts until the load is w et. This low -w ater w ash m ethod
uses less w ater and energy com pared to a traditional
agitator-style w asher.
W hen loading the w asher w ith dirty laundry,ll it evenly
around the b asket w all.
Auto m atic Lo ad S ize S ensing
O nce you start the cycle,the lid w ill lock,and the w asher w ill
begin the sensing p rocess to determ ine the correct w ater level
for the load. This m ay take several m inutes. You w ill nd a
step-by-step description in the “C ycle S tatus Lights” section.
A s the w asher dam pens and m oves the load,the level of the
clothes w ill settle in the basket. This is norm al,and does not
indicate that m ore clothes should be added.
IM P O R TAN T:You w ill not see a w asher basket full of w ater
as w ith your past agitator-style w asher.
W H A T’S N E W U N D E R TH E L ID ?
Ch oosing th e R igh t D eterg ent
U se only High Efciency detergents. The package w ill be
m arked “HE” or “High Efciency.” Low -w ater w ashing creates
excessive sudsing w ith a regular non-HE detergent. U sing
regular detergent w ill likely result in longer cycle tim es and
reduced rinsing perform ance. It m ay also result in com p onent
failures and noticeable m old or m ildew . HE detergents are m ade
to produce the right am ount of suds for the best perform ance.
Follow the m anufacturer’s instructions to determ ine the am ount
of detergent to use.
N orm al S ou nd s Y ou Can E xp ect
A t different stages of the w ash cycle,you m ay hear sounds and
noises that are different from those of your previous w asher.
For exam ple,you m ay hear a clicking and hum at the beginning
of the cycle,as the lid lock goes through a self-test. There
w ill be different kinds of hum m ing and w hirring sounds as the
w ashp late m oves the load. A nd som etim es,you m ay hear
nothing at all,as the w asher determ ines the correct w ater level
for your load or allow s tim e for clothes to soak.
Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.
Concentrated Cleaning
Low -w ater cleaning m eans concentrated cleaning. R ather
than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style w asher,
this w asher delivers the detergent directly to the soils.
Cleaning w ith L ess W ater
The m ost striking difference in your new w asher is the
low -w ater w ashplate w ash system . The w asher autom atically
adjusts the w ater level to the load size— no w ater level selector
is needed.
