Fabric Softener Dispenser
This convenient fabric
softener dispenser connects
to the agitator and saves you
from manually adding fabric
softener during the rinse cycle.
WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
Lid Lock
To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the
Lid Locked 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 off, 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. 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. Press the START/
PAUSE button to resume the cycle.
Water Level Options
Set the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting and
the washer will ll to a level that ensures the load engages
the agitator. From this point, the electronic control will
sense the load and determine if additional water is needed.
Set the Water Level knob to the Deep Water Wash setting
and the washer will ll to the maximum water level.
NOTE: Deep Water Wash is not available in the Normal
cycle mode. Selecting the Normal cycle with the Deep
Water Wash setting will result in auto sensing of the
water level.
Sensing
This washer will perform a series of spins to check for load
balance. During this time, a series of clicks and a whirring
noise signal that sensing technology is determining if there
is an off-balance load.
Sounds
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds
and pauses that are different 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 different kinds of humming
and whirring sounds as the agitator 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.
■ Some models: Rinse options must be set to either 1 Rinse w/Fabric Softener or 2 Rinses w/Fabric Softener when using fabric
softener in the fabric softener dispenser. This ensures that fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse phase and
is evenly distributed.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be
marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” 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
Efciency 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 Efciency (HE) detergent.
Spray Rinse
Select cycles default to a spray rinse. During these cycles,
you will hear water enter the washer as the tub spins,
allowing the rinse water to penetrate clothes. Check
the “Cycle Guide” for details.
