Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

• Improved Cleaning 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. This low water wash also allows the clothing to move in a more effective way to remove soils.
• Automatic Load Size Sensing 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.
• Initially the basket will start to spin prior to adding water; this is part of the sensing process and is normal. This low-water wash method uses less water and energy compared to a traditional agitator-style washer.
• For best performance. it is recommended to load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.
• As the washer dampens and moves the load. the level of the items will settle in the basket. This is normal and does not indicate that more items should be added.

IMPORTANT:

• You will not see a washer basket full of water as with your past agitator-style washer. It is normal for some of the load to be above the water line.

Choosing 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 non-HE detergent. 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 Efficiency 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. If you use one of these and see an “F0E2” error code appear in the display, consider using a different HE detergent. Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use. Do not go over the Max line on the dispenser. See “Using Laundry Product Dispensers” for more information.

TIP:

You may want to add any detergent. color-safe bleach. or oxi-type boosters while the faucet is running to mix it with the water. (See Step 2 in the next column.)

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

• Running a Wash Cycle
• Single-dose laundry packet. color-safe bleach. Oxi-type boosters. or fabric softener crystals can be added to the basket prior to adding 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 items if stains remain after washing, as heat can set stains into fabric.
•  Treat stains promptly.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
•  Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during washing.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Add laundry products

• Press faucet button
• For best performance. load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Try mixing different sized items to reduce tangling.

IMPORTANT:

• Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

4. Add liquid fabric softener

• Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into tray; always follow manufacturer’s directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Close dispenser drawer. Fabric Softener is added during rinse.

IMPORTANT:

• Do not overfill or dilute. Overfilling the dispenser will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into the washer.

5. Add liquid chlorine bleach to dispenser

• Do not overfill. dilute. or use more than 1 cup (236 mL).
• Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
• Add a measured amount of HE detergent into detergent tray. This tray holds 3 oz. (89 mL). If adding powder HE detergent. remove the inside tray. Do not overfill the tray; adding too much detergent may cause detergent to be dispensed into the washer too early.

NOTE:

• Make sure the tray is in the drawer when using liquid detergent and removed when using powder detergent. Do not go over the Max line.

IMPORTANT:

• Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a non-HE detergent.

WASHER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and Performing at its Best

1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended amount because that may increase the rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.

2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.

3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing residue.

Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer

• Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine cleaning processes recommended below.
• This Washer Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer.

Cleaning the Inside of the Washer

• To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions provided above, and use this recommended monthly cleaning procedure:

Clean Washer Cycle

• This washer has a special cycle that uses higher water volumes in combination with affresh® Washer Cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach to clean the inside of the washer.

TRANSPORTING YOUR WASHER

1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.

2. If washer will be moved during freezing weather, follow “Winter Storage Care” directions before moving.

3. Disconnect drain from drain system.

4. Unplug power cord

 5. Place inlet hoses inside washer basket.

6. Drape power cord and drain hose over the console and secure with masking tape.

7. Place foam packing ring from original shipping materials back inside washer. If you do not have packing ring, place heavy blankets or towels into basket opening. Close lid and place tape over lid and down front of washer. Keep lid taped until washer is placed in new location. Transport washer in the upright position.

Troubleshooting

Vibration during spinning or washer stopped

• Load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Adding wet items to washer or adding more water to basket could unbalance washer. Avoid washing single items.
• Balance a single item such as a rug or jean jacket with a few extra items
• . If the dial is flashing, redistribute the load, close the lid, and touch and hold the START/PAUSE button. Use Bedding/Bulky and Heavy Duty cycle for oversized, non-absorbent items such as comforters or poly-filled jackets
• . Other items are not appropriate for Bedding/Bulky Heavy Duty cycle. See “Cycle Guide.” Item or load not suitable for selected cycle. See “Cycle Guide” and “Using Your Washer.”

Clicking or metallic noises

• Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins could fall between basket and tub or may block pump. It may be necessary to call for service to remove items.
• It is normal to hear metal items on clothing such as metal snaps, buckles, or zippers touch against the stainless steel basket.

Check the following for proper installation:

• Washer not level. Water may splash off basket if washer is not level. Fill hoses not attached tightly. Tighten fill-hose connection.
• Fill hose washers Make sure all four fill hose flat washers are properly seated. Drain hose connection Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it to drainpipe or laundry tub. Do not place tape over drain opening.
• Check household plumbing for leaks or clogged sink or drain. Water can back up out of a clogged sink or drainpipe.
• Check all household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water pipes, and faucets.) Washer not loaded as recommended. An unbalanced load can cause basket to be out of alignment and cause water to splash off tub. See “Using Your Washer” for loading instructions.

Not enough water in washer

• This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load will not be completely underwater. The washer senses load sizes and adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. See “What’s New under the Lid.”

IMPORTANT:

• Do not add more water to washer. Adding water lifts the items off the washplate, resulting in less effective cleaning. Run clean washer cycle to optimize the water level and wash performance.
