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 injuryto 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
explode.
[] Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been used
for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. Ifthe hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the washing
machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes. This will release
any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used
near children.

WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Cleaaiag with Less
oo O]
Traditional agitator-style
washer Washer with low-water
washplate wash system
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.
When loading the washer with dirty laundry, fill it evenly
around the basket wall.
Automatic Load Size Sensiag
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 find 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.
As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the
clothes will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not
indicate that more clothes should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water
as with your past agitator-style washer.
Choosiag the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be
marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." 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.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Concentrated Cleaniag
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.
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.

@ECO MONITOR
Your washer is specially designed to conserve energy
and water. Each cycle, along with any selected options,
will result in different energy usage. As you make your cycle
and temperature selections, the Eco Monitor shows how
well you are saving energy. Adjust the temperature and spin
speed within that cycle to improve energy usage. Using the
EcoBoost setting on a cycle can also be a one-touch way to
improve your Eco Monitor rating on many cycles.
O 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.
CYCLE OPTIONS
Whenyou select a cycle, its default settings will light up.
TEMP
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 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.
As you press Soil Level, the cycle time (minutes) will
increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining
display and a different wash time will appear.
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.
4
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.
• Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
• Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.
You may also add or remove options for each cycle. Note
that not all options can be used with all cycles, and some
are preset to work with certain cycles.
DEEP CLEAN/CLEAN BOOST
This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough
stains. It will add additional agitation and soak time to
the cycle.
DELAY WASH
If you would like to set your washer to start at a preferred
time, select the Delay Wash option. You can use this
option to delay start of a wash cycle for up to 9 hours
(depending on model). Press Delay Wash button once
to delay 1 hour. Ifyou want a longer delay period, press
and hold the button until your desired delay time (in hours)
shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display, up
to 9H. Then press START/Pause/Unlock to set the delay.
The countdown to the wash cycle will show in the
display window.
ECOBOOST
The EcoBoost option allows you to increase your energy
savings on your wash cycles. When this option is used,
the wash cycle will use slightly cooler wash water than
the selected temperature. The indicated temperature will
not change.
PRESOAK
Use this option to add an extra soak period to any cycle
when washing heavily soiled garments. You can adjust the
length of the soak period by changing the Soil Level.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
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.

CYCLESIGNAL

To turn button sounds on or off:
Press and hold Cycle Signal for 3 seconds to turn the
button sounds off or on.
O EST TiME REMAiNiNG DISPLAY
The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time
required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size
and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display.
Overloading, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may
cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.
SOAK Sensing Soak Wash Rinse Spin Done
This portion of the cycle allows water to soak into the load for
optimal cleaning.
WASH = =, o
Sensing Soak Wash Rinse Spin Done
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.
CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
Sensing Soak Wash Rinse Spin Done
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 Sensing Soak Wash Rinse Spin Done
When the Start/Pause/Unlock button is pressed,
the washer will first 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 briefly 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 briefly,
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 flowing 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.he sensing light may also come on during
the Soak and Wash portions of the cycle. This is normal.
RINSE Sensing Soak Wash Rinse Spin Done
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 option was selected. Some
cycles use spray rinsing.
SPIN Sensing Soak Wash Rinse Spin Done
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper water
removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.
DONE Sensing Soak Wash Rinse Spin Done
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
Remove the load promptly for best results.

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.
1, Sort and prepare your laundry
• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the washplate 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. See "Cycle Guide" for tips and more information on
using the Bulky Items cycle.
• 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.
Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid
damage to your garments.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around basket wall.
Do not wrap large items such as sheets around the washplate;
load them in loose piles around the sides of the basket. Try
mixing different sized items to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Items need to move freely for best cleaning and
to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

Usiag Lauady Product Dispensers
Add HE detergent to dispenser
Detergent tray Fabric softener tray
Add a measured amount of
HE detergent into detergent tray. This
tray holds 3 oz. (89 mL). Do not overfill tray - adding too much
detergent may cause detergent to be dispensed into the washer
too early.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package
will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." 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.

Nettoyer avec moins d'eau
oo o[
Laveuse traditionnelle de
type agitateur
Lh
//z-.............\\
Laveuse a faible consommation
d'eau avec impulseur
La nouveaut6 la plus flagrante de cette nouvelle laveuse est
son systeme de lavage a faible consommation d'eau avec
impulseur. La laveuse ajuste automatiquement le niveau d'eau
en fonction de la taille de la charge - nul besoin de s61ecteur
de niveau d'eau.
Lorsque I'on charge la laveuse de linge sale, celui-ci doit
6tre r6parti uniform6ment le long des parois du panier. Pour
de meilleurs r6sultats, ne pas remplir au-dela de la hauteur
de charge maximale recommand6e.
DSteetion automat_que
de taille de charge
Une fois que I'on d6marre le programme, le couvercle se
verrouille et la laveuse entame un processus de d6tection pour
d6terminer le niveau d'eau appropri6 a la charge. Cela peut
prendre plusieurs minutes avant que I'eau ne soit ajou%e. Voir
la description pas-a-pas dans la section "T6moins lumineux
de programme".
_,mesure que la laveuse imbibe et d6place la charge, les
v_tements se tassent dans le panier. Ceci est normal et ne
signifie pas que I'on doive rajouter des v_tements.
IMPORTANT : Le panier de la laveuse ne sera pas rempli d'eau,
comme avec votre pr6c6dente laveuse de type agitateur.
Choix du d6tergent appropri6
Utiliser uniquement des d6tergents Haute efficacit6.
Uemballage portera la mention "HE" ou "High Efficiency"
(haute efficacit6). Un lavage avec faible consommation
d'eau produit un exces de mousse avec un d6tergent non HE
ordinaire. II est probable que I'utilisation d'un d6tergent ordinaire
prolongera la dur6e des programmes et r6duira la performance
de ringage. Ceci peut aussi entrainer des d6faillances des
composants et une moisissure perceptible. Les d6tergents HE
sont congus pour produire la quanti% de mousse ad6quate
pour le meilleur rendement. Suivre les recommandations
du fabricant pour d6terminer la quantit6 de d6tergent a utiliser.
Utiliser uniquement un dOtergent Haute efficacitO (HE).
Nettoyage coaceatr6
Le systeme de lavage a faible consommation d'eau signifie un
lavage concentr6. Plut6t que de diluer du d6tergent comme
dans une laveuse de type agitateur, cette laveuse libere le
d6tergent directement sur les endroits souill6s.
Vous entendrez le moteur faire tourner le panier par de brefs
mouvements d'impulsion pour bien imbiber la charge. Cette
m6thode de lavage avec faible consommation d'eau utilise moins
d'eau et d'6nergie qu'une laveuse traditionnelle de type agitateur. Soas normaux pr6visibles
Au cours des diffOrents stades du programme de lavage, vous
entendrez peut-_tre des bruits que votre laveuse pr6c6dente
ne produisait pas. Par exemple, vous entendrez peut-6tre
un cliquetis au d6but du programme Iorsque le systeme de
verrouillage du couvercle effectue un test automatique. On
entendra diff@ents bourdonnements et bruits de frottements
rythmiques a mesure que I'impulseur d6place la charge. Parfois,
il est possible que la laveuse soit completement silencieuse,
Iorsqu'elle d6termine le niveau d'eau ad6quat ou qu'elle laisse
tremper les v_tements.

indique les 6conomies d'6nergie r6alis6es. Ajuster la
temp@ature et la vitesse d'essorage dans ce programme
pour am61iorer la consommation d'6nergie. Le fait d'utiliser
le r6glage EcoBoost (puissance 6co) sur un programme peut
aussi repr6senter un moyen d'am61iorer 1'6valuation de
I'eco-moniteur sur de nombreux programmes,
le tout en un seul toucher.
BOUTON DE PROGRAMME DE LAVAGE
Tourner le bouton de programme de lavage pour
s61ectionner un programme correspondant a la charge de

La fonction de contr61e de temp@ature d6tecte et
maintient une temp@ature unJforme de I'eau en r6gulant
le d6bit d'arriv6e d'eau chaude et d'eau froide.
S61ectionner une temp@ature de lavage en fonction
du type de tissu et de salet6 a laver. Pour des r6sultats
optimaux, suivre les instructions sur 1'6tiquette du
v_tement et utiliser la temp@ature d'eau de lavage la plus
chaude possible qui reste sans danger pour le tissu.
• Les temp@atures de I'eau tiede et de I'eau chaude
seront inf@ieures a celles de votre pr6c6dente laveuse.
• M_me avec un r6glage de lavage a I'eau froide (Cool), il
est possible que de I'eau tiede soit ajout6e a la laveuse
pour maintenir une temp@ature minimale.
SOIL LEVEL (Niveau de salet_)
Le niveau de salet6 (dur6e de lavage) est pr6r6gl6 pour
chaque programme de lavage. Lorsque I'on appuie sur
la touche Soil Level, la dur6e du programme (en minutes)
augmente ou diminue sur I'afficheur de la dur6e r6siduelle
estim_e et une dur6e de lavage diff@ente apparaTt.
Pour la plupart des charges, utiliser le niveau de salet6
pr@6gl6 pour le programme choisi. Pour les tissus tr_s
sales et robustes, appuyer sur Soil Level (Niveau de
20
salet6) pour prolonger la dur6e de lavage si n6cessaire.
Pour les tissus peu sales et d61icats, appuyer sur Soil
Level (Niveau de salet_) pour abr_ger la dur_e de lavage
si n_cessaire. Un r_glage de nJveau de salet_ inf@ieur
aidera a r_duire I'emm_lement et le froissement.
SPIN SPEED (Vitesse d'essorage)
Cette laveuse s_lectionne automatiquement la vitesse
d'essorage en fonction du programme s_lectionn& Les
vitesses pr_r_glees peuvent etre modifiees. Sur certains
programmes, certaines vitesses d'essorage ne sont pas
disponibles.
• Des vitesses d'essorage plus _lev_es signJfient des
duties de s_chage plus courtes mais elles peuvent
augmenter le froissement de la charge.
Des vitesses d'essorage plus lentes signifient moins
de froissement mais laissent la charge plus humide.
On peut aussi ajouter ou supprimer des options pour chaque
programme. Noter que certaJnes options ne peuvent pas _tre
utilis_es avec certains programmes, et que certaines d'entre
elles sont pr@_gl_es pour ne fonctionner qu'avec certains
programmes.
DEEP CLEAN/CLEAN BOOST
(Nettoyage en profondeur/Nettoyage avanc_)
Cette option fournit une action de nettoyage
amelior_e pour les taches tenaces. Ceci prolonge
la dur_e d'agitation et trempage du programme.
