WASHERSAFETY
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.

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. If the 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.
[] Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door or lid.
[] Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is
moving.
[] Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to
the weather.
[] Do not tamper with controls.
[] Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in
published user-repair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.

BENEFITSANDFEATURES
Your washer has several benefits and features which are summarized here. Some items may not apply to your model.
Wool
WOO/MAKK
The wool wash cycle of this machine has been
approved by Woolmark for the washing of
machine washable Woolmark products provided
that the garments are washed according to the
instructions on the garment label and those issued
by the manufacturer of this washing machine,
M0608.
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.
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.
Innovative Features
Your new washer includes these features that help to reduce
noise, increase the ease of use and improve wash performance.
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.
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 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 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.
11

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 the Fabric Softener button or
select Extra Rinse.
WASHERUSE
NOTE: Your washer model may vary from the model shown. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount
of detergent to use.
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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
The following is a guide to starting your washer. Periodic
references to other sections of this manual provide more detailed
information.
2.
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of
detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash
system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a
regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result
in washer errors, 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.
Place a load of sorted clothes into the washer. See "Laundry
Tips."
•Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and
small items. Items should move easily through the wash
water.
• Load only to the top of the basket as shown. Overloading
can cause poor cleaning. Items need to move easily
through the wash water.
Pour measured powdered or liquid High Efficiency detergent
into the detergent dispenser. Always use the detergent
dispenser, and do not put detergent directly onto clothes in
the washer.

LAUNDRYTIPS
Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
• Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type
of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This
wash system, along with less water, will create too much
sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular
detergent will likely result in washer errors, 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.
• Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best
results.
• Turn wool knits inside-out before washing.
Sorting
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if
they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers
(towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.
• Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from
noncolorfast items.
• Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate
items).
• Separate bulky, nonabsorbent items such as comforters,
pillows and poly-filled jackets. Use the Bulky Items cycle for
these items.
• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other
items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid
scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim
and ornaments.
• Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.
• Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.
• Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.
• Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.
• Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.
• Treat spots and stains.
Separate sheets, pillowcases and towels and use the
Sheets/Towels cycle for these items. For best performance,
drop items in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall and
do not load items directly on the impeller for this cycle.
When washing waterproof items, such as plastic-lined
mattress pads, shower curtains, tarpaulin (tarps) or
waterproof or water-resistant sleeping bags, use the Delicate
or Handwash cycle with the lowest spin speed setting
available for the washer model that you have.
Unloading
• Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed.
Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if
left in the washer basket for a long time.
