WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Your new washer will operate dierently than your previous agitator-style washer.

Lid Lock

To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the

Lid Lock light will turn on. When this light is lit, the lid is

locked and cannot be opened. When this light is blinking,

the washer is paused. When this light is o, the lid can be

opened.

After a cycle is started, the washer will ll to the

appropriate water level. When the washer is done lling,

it will start to agitate. If you need to open the lid to add a

garment after this point, the lid will remain unlocked during

the entire agitation portion of the wash phase. The cycle will

automatically pause when the lid is opened, and the cycle

will resume once the lid is closed and you press the START/

PAUSE button.

The lid will lock before the spin phase begins. If you need

to pause or stop after this point, you must press the START/

PAUSE button and wait for the lid to unlock. The lid will only

unlock after washer movement has stopped. Depending

on when in the cycle you try to pause, it may take several

seconds to several minutes for the lid to unlock (for example,

1 minute if the cycle is in the spin phase). Press the START/

PAUSE button to resume the cycle.

Sounds

At dierent stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds

and pauses that are dierent from those of your previous

washer. For example, you may hear a clicking and hum at

the beginning of the spin phase as the lid lock goes through

a self-test.

There will be dierent kinds of humming and whirring sounds

as the washplate tests for load balance or 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.

IMPORTANT: The lid must be closed before the washer basket lls with water and for the wash cycle to start. If the lid is open and lling

stops, close the lid and press the START/PAUSE button to complete the cycle.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Eciency detergents. The package will be

marked “HE” or “High Eciency.” Using non-HE detergent

will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing

performance. It may also result in component malfunction

and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew.

HE detergents should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to

produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.

They should hold soil in suspension so it is not redeposited

onto clean clothes.

Not all detergents labeled as High Eciency are identical

in formulation and their ability to reduce suds. For example,

natural, organic, or homemade HE detergents may

generate a high level of suds. Always follow the detergent

manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of

detergent to use.

Use only High Eciency (HE) detergent.
