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

rubber bellows at the front of the tub 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: To avoid damage to clothing, do not use liquid

chlorine bleach in this washer. If you need extra whitening,

use an HE powdered detergent with bleach additive.

A B

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, reduced rinsing

performance, and may 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.

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,

reduced rinsing performance, and may 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 detergent to use.

• Shake out sand, dirt, and other matter before placing clothes

and other items into the washer. Doing so will increase the

performance of this low-water 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.

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

rubber bellows at the front of the tub for small items.

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).

WASHERCARE

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 interior

Use the following procedure without any clothing. Your washer

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

prevent any accumulation of mold or mildew odors.

• Start by adding 1 cup (250 mL) of bleach into the detergent

dispenser. Continue by adding 1 cup (250 mL) of bleach

directly to the wash tub. This is the only time you should add

anything other than clothing into the wash tub. Select and run

the Regular/Heavy Soil cycle without clothing, using hot

water. Repeat this process if necessary.

• Inspect the interior of the washer for lint and other debris that

may accumulate on the basket and rubber bellows. Remove

and dispose of any accumulation as necessary.

• Leave the washer door open between cycles to allow the

washer interior to dry out.

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

for washer use.

Cleaning the door seal

Use a soft damp cloth or sponge when necessary. Check the fold

of the seal periodically for any foreign objects.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

The dispenser drawer is removable for easy cleaning.

1. Unlock the dispenser drawer by pressing on the plastic part

of the softener compartment marked "PUSH."

Cleaning the lint filter

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

the washer has drained before opening the filter door.

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

amount of water could spill.

2. Remove the filter by rotating it a half-turn counterclockwise

and pulling outward.

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

residue is removed.

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. Dispenserdrawer release

2. Remove the drawer.

3. Do not clean the door with cleaning solvents or abrasive

cleansers. You could damage the finish.

4. Replace the dispenser drawer in the washer.

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 five 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.

_Y, :'<......... ,, U

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.

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.

Run the washer through the Regular/Normal cycle with

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

out antifreeze.

Totransport the washer:.

1. If washer will be moved during freezing weather, put in

1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the drum. Run washer on

a SPIN cycle.

2. Unplug the power cord.

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

the drain hose to the rear panel clips.

4. Shut off both water faucets.

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

washer. Drain the hoses and place them inside the washer

drum.

IMPORTANT: Call service. Transport bolts should be installed

prior to moving. The washer must be transported in the upright

position to prevent suspension and structural damage.

Unload the washer as soon as it stops.

• Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?

Use the Hand Wash cycle or another cycle with a low spin

speed to reduce wrinkling.

• Did you overload the washer?

The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads

should tumble freely during washing.

Gray whites, dingy colors

• Did you properly sort the load?

Dye transfer can occur when mixing whites and colors in a

load. Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.

Was the wash temperature too low?

Use hot or warm washes if safe for the load. Make sure your

hot water system is adequate to provide a hot water wash.

Did you use enough detergent, or do you have hard

water?
