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 using your washer. Please refer to

specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.

Do not store laundry products on the top surface of this washer.

Vibration is normal during operation.

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 odors. 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 HE detergent to use.

First Wash Cycle Without Laundry

To clean the interior of the washer before washing clothes for the

first time, select the Regular/Normal cycle and run the washer

without clothes. Use 1/2the normal recommended amount of

powdered or liquid HE detergent.

For All Wash Cycles

To load washer, open the washer door by pulling on the

handle. Sort laundry according to color and type of fabric.

Place a load of sorted clothes in the washer. Do not overload

washer. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.

• The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed.

Washer door should close easily.

• Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items.

Load evenly.

• Wash small items, such as infant socks, in mesh garment

bags. It is recommended that more than one garment bag

be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal

amounts of material.

• When unloading garments, occasionally check under the

gray seal/bellow between the door opening and the

basket for small items.

Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the lock clicks.

The washer door will remain locked during the wash cycle.

Open the dispenser drawer and add laundry products to the

detergent or fabric softener compartments. Close drawer

slowly to avoid spills. See "Using the Dispenser."

IMPORTANT: Direct contact of chlorine bleach with clothing

can cause fabric damage. Ifyou need extra whitening, use an

HE powdered detergent with bleach additive.

A B

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

A. Pre Wash detergent compartment

B. Main Wash detergent compartment

C. Fabric softener compartment

NOTES:

• Use only HE detergents and follow label instructions.

• Do not add detergent to the Pre Wash compartment

unless you have selected the Pre Wash option. If you have

detergent in both the Pre Wash and Main Wash

compartments, and have not selected a Pre Wash option,

the washer could oversuds. Suds could spill onto the floor.

• Ifyou select the Pre Wash option, use powdered HE

detergent in the Main Wash compartment. If you use

liquid HE detergent in the Main Wash compartment, it will

dispense immediately.

• Close the detergent drawer securely.

IMPORTANT: To avoid a water spill, do not open the

detergent drawer while the machine is operating.

Turn on the washer by selecting POWER.

Select one of the cycles by turning the cycle selector. The

preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the

selected cycle. See "Cycles."

Select the desired options. Not all options are available with all

cycles. See "Cycles."

To begin the wash cycle, select START.

• When the wash cycle is complete, the DONE status light

glows, the door unlocks, and the wash load can be removed

from the washer. To power down the washer manually after

the wash cycle is complete, press POWER once.

Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate

compartments for your laundry products--two are for detergent,

and one is for liquid fabric softener. Laundry products are diluted

and dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash

cycle, making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer

during the cycle to add them.

It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the

dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.

Do not put laundry additives directly into the wash tub. Always

use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.

Choosing the Right Detergent

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 odors. 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 HE detergent to use.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

To fill dispenser compartments

NOTE: Always use the detergent dispenser, and do not put

detergent directly onto clothes in the washer.

1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.

2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment.

3. Push in the dispenser drawer slowly and completely (to avoid

spills).

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.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

• To increase performance of this low-water washer, shake out

sand, dirt, and other matter before placing clothes and other

items into the washer.

• 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.

• Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best

results.

• Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, and

load evenly.

Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as

underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as

infant socks. It is recommended that more than one garment

bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal

amounts of material.

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).

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.

• When unloading garments, occasionally check under the gray

seal/bellow between the door opening and the basket for

small items.

WASHERCARE

Cleaning the door seal

1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from

the washer.

2. Inspect the gray seal/bellow between the door opening and the

basket for stained areas. Pull back the seal/bellow to inspect all

areas under the seal/bellow and to check for foreign objects.

A. Seal/Bellow

If stained areas are found, wipe down these areas of the seal/

bellows, using the procedure that follows.

a} Mix a dilute solution, using ¾ cup (177.4 mL) of liquid

chlorine bleach, and 1 gal. (3.8 L) of warm tap water.

b} Wipe the seal/bellow area with the dilute solution, using a

damp cloth.

c) Let stand 5 minutes.

d) Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry cloth and let the

washer interior air dry with door open.

IMPORTANT:

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning for prolonged periods.

• Refer to the bleach manufacturer's instructions for proper

use.

Cleaning the interior

Use the following procedure without any clothing. Your washer

interior should be cleaned at least once per month to reduce or

avert any accumulation of mold or mildew odors.

1. Remove any clothing or items from the washer.

2. Open the dispenser drawer and add liquid chlorine bleach into

the Main Wash detergent compartment.

NOTE: Use I cup (236.6 mL) for first time cleaning. Use

1/3cup (78.8 mL) for monthly maintenance.

3. Select and run the Regular/Heavy soil cycle using hot water.

Repeat this process if necessary.

4. After cleaning, leave the washer door open slightly to allow for

better ventilation and drying of washer interior.

NOTE: To remove hard water deposits, use only cleaners labeled

for washer use.

Cleaning the exterior

Use a soft damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.

Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking

new. Use mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive products.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

The dispenser drawer is removable for easy cleaning.

1. Open the dispenser drawer. Unlock the dispenser drawer by

pressing on the plastic part of the softener compartment

marked "PUSH." (Letter A in dispenser illustration.)

4. Replace the filter and turn it clockwise until it is securely locked

in place. Give the cap a gentle tug to confirm that the filter is

secure.

A. Dispenser drawer release

2. Remove the drawer.

3. Toavoid damage to the finish, do not clean the drawer with

cleaning solvents or abrasive cleansers.

4. Replace the dispenser drawer in the washer.

Cleaning the lint filter

The lint filter should be cleaned about once a month. Make sure

the washer is not running before opening the filter door.

1. Place a pan or towel under the filter door, since a small

amount of water could spill. Open the filter door.

Remove the filter by rotating it a half-turn counterclockwise and

pulling outward.

(

Clean the filter with a soft brush under running water until all

residue is removed.

5. Close the filter door.

Cleaning the control panel

To clean the control panel, use only a warm, damp cloth.

• Do not spray water or cleaning solvents on the control panel.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer

surfaces because they will scratch the finish and could

remove the writing on the control panel.

• Some paper towels may also scratch the finish.

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose

failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges,

kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses, record the date of replacement.

Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because

some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your

washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather,

winterize it.

Non-use or vacation care:

Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on

vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time,

you should:

• Unplug washer or disconnect power.

• Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid

accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you

are away.

• Slightly open door to provide ventilation.

To winterize washer:

1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

2. Shut off both water faucets.

3. Disconnect water inlet hoses from faucets.

4. Place a pan or towel under the filter door, as a small amount of

water could spill. Open the filter door and remove the lint filter

to drain. See "Cleaning the lint filter" in the "Cleaning Your

Washer" section.

5. Reinstall the lint filter and close the filter door.

To use washer again:

1. Flush water pipes. Reconnect water inlet hoses to faucets.

Turn on both water faucets.

fire, or electrical shock.

2. Plug in washer or reconnect power.

3. Run the washer through the Regular/Normal cycle with

1/4the normal recommended amount of HE detergent to clean

out antifreeze.

To transport the washer:

1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

2. Remove drain hose from the standpipe or laundry tub. Attach

the drain hose to the rear panel clips.

3. Shut off both water faucets.

4. Disconnect the water inlet hoses from faucets and rear of

washer. Drain the hoses and place them inside the washer

drum.

5. Place a pan or towel under the filter door, as a small amount of

water could spill. Open the filter door and remove the lint filter

to drain. See "Cleaning the lint filter" in the "Cleaning Your

Washer" section.

6. Reinstall the lint filter and close the filter door.

IMPORTANT: Call your local service center for assistance.

Transport bolts should be installed prior to moving. The washer

must be transported in the upright position to avoid suspension

and structural damage.

Reinstalling the washer:

1. Follow the "Installation Instructions" to locate, level and

connect the washer.

2. Run the washer through the Regular/Normal cycle with 1/4the

normal recommended amount of HE detergent to clean the
