BENEFITS AND FEATURES
Your washer has several benefits and features that are summarized here. Some items may not apply to your model.
Benefits
High-Efficiency Wash System
Your new top loading, high-efficiency washer saves you time by
allowing you to do fewer, larger loads. It also conserves resources
and helps lower your water and energy bills by using the following
innovations.
Auto Water Level
This washer senses the load size and composition through a
series of fills and wash motion. It then adjusts the water level for
the best cleaning and rinsing performance. It eliminates the
guesswork. The water level is just right for every wash load size.
NOTE: You may notice during a cycle that the wash load is not
completely submerged in water. This is normal for your washer.
Care Control Temperature Management
The Care Control Temperature Management system on this
washer electronically senses and maintains a uniform water
temperature by regulating incoming water temperatures. Using
Care Control will help dissolve detergent.
Hydro Plate Wash System
Your new washer works differently than most washers that you are
accustomed to. The most striking difference is that the washer
has an hydro plate wash system. It uses this new innovative hydro
plate at the bottom of the wash basket to move your load through
a mixture of water and detergent. The load is moved from the
outside toward the middle with items coming up in the center and
down on the outside edges.
Dispensers
The dispensers make your washer truly automatic. It is
unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to
add detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
Laundry products are added to the load at the proper time in the
wash cycle.
Spin Speeds
This washer is preset to automatically select the spin speed based
on the cycle selected. Depending on your wash load, you can
change the preset speeds. The spin speed on this washer is
nearly twice as fast as that of a conventional washer. You may
notice different sounds during a spin cycle because of this higher
rate of speed.
Deep Clean Cleaning Action
The Deep Clean option uses Direct Inject Cleaning Action to help
ensure better soil and stain removal. Deep Clean reduces the
need for pretreatment and is safe for all washable fabrics. Water
flushes through the dispenser to dissolve the detergent. The
detergent mixture is then sprayed onto the load while the washer
spins at low speed. This cleaning action will last up to 5 minutes
depending on the cycle selected. The washer then stops spinning,
fills with water to the appropriate level and continues washing with
the selected cycle.
High Efficiency (HE) Detergent
This washer is designed for High Efficiency (HE) detergent use
only. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds
and give the best performance in low water wash systems.
Features
Innovative Features
Your new washer includes these features that help to reduce
noise, increase the ease of use and improve wash performance.
6th Sense™ Technology
6th Sense™ Technology features built-in intelligence that “knows
each wash load” for optimal cleaning, fabric care and efficiency.
From weighing the size of the load to determining how much
water is needed to clean it, the 6th Sense™ combination of
intuitive features takes the guesswork out of clothes care. Three
levels of off-balance protection and a suds detection sensor help
ensure worry- and error-free operation for further peace of mind.
Electronic Controls
Electronic controls with preset cycles are easy to use whether you
are a beginner or an “expert.”
Quiet Operation
This washer is insulated with sound-dampening materials to
reduce washer operation sounds and noises. On some models,
an additional tub wrap is added for extra dampening of vibration
and sound.

5
Suspension System
To reduce washer “walk” and “out of balance” conditions, your
new washer combines:
■4 Spring damper struts to isolate vibration
■Balance ring at the top and bottom of the wash basket to
minimize vibration
■Operating software designed to sense and correct off balance
loads
Clean Washer with AFFRESH™ Cycle
This washer features an easy-to-use Clean Washer cycle that
thoroughly cleans the inside of your washing machine using
higher water volumes in combination with AFFRESH®washer
cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach.
Stainless Steel Basket
The stainless steel basket is corrosion resistant and enables
higher spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying
time.
Force Filter Wash/Rinse System
This washer filters 100% of the wash and rinse water. The water is
filtered then recirculated. The force filter traps sand and dirt,
flushing them down the drain, so they are not redeposited onto
the clean clothes.
Delay Wash
Delay Wash allows you to load your washer and pause the start of
the cycle for up to 10 hours.
End of Cycle Signal
The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the
wash cycle is finished. This signal is helpful when you are
removing items from the washer as soon as it stops.
Spray Rinse
This washer is designed to save water by rinsing the load with a
spray rinse instead of a deep water rinse on some cycles. When
using fabric softener, always select Fabric Softener from the
Dispensers option (on some models), select Fabric Softener
Dispenser (on some models), or select Extra Rinse.
QUICK START GUIDE/WASHER USE
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an extension cord.
