WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Cleaning with Less Water

The most striking difference in your new washer is the low-water washplate wash system. The washer automatically adjusts the water level to the load size—no water level selector is needed.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.

Do not load garments directly over the center of the washplate; when loaded, the center of the washplate should be visible.

As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the garments will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not indicate that more garments 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.

INTELLIFILLTM Water Level Control

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. You will find a step-by-step description in the Cycle Status Lights” section.

You will hear the motor turn the basket in short pulses to thoroughly wet the load. This low-water wash method uses less water and energy compared to a traditional agitator-style washer.

Auto Temperature Control

Auto Temperature Control (ATC) regulates incoming hot and cold water, blending the temperatures for optimal and consistent cleaning. The ATC is automatically turned on when a cycle is selected.

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 regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in 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.

Concentrated 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.

Normal Sounds You Can Expect

At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and noises that are different from those of your previous washer. For example, you may hear a clicking and hum at the beginning of the cycle, as the lid lock goes through a self-test. There will be different kinds of humming and whirring sounds as the washplate 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 garments to soak.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

1. ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING DISPLAY

The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display. Tightly packed, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.

2. POWER/CANCEL BUTTON

Press to turn the washer ON or OFF.

3. WASH CYCLE KNOB

Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

4. START/PAUSE BUTTON

Press to start the selected cycle. Be sure all desired Modifiers and Options have been selected. Press START/ PAUSE once to unlock the lid and add a garment. Press START/PAUSE to complete the cycle from where it was stopped. The lid must be closed for the washer to start.

5. CYCLE MODIFIERS

When you select a cycle, its default modifiers will light up. Not all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all models.

WASH TEMP/RINSE TEMP

Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are washing. Use the warmest wash water suitable for fabrics. Follow garment label instructions.

Warm rinses leave the loads drier and more comfortable to handle than cold rinses. However, warm rinses also increase wrinkling. Cold rinses may help with wrinkling and save energy.

NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.

SPIN SPEED

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be changed. Not all spin speeds are available with all cycles.

Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may increase wrinkling in your load.

Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will leave your load more damp.

SOIL LEVEL

Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. As you press Soil Level, the cycle time (minutes) will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display and a different wash time will appear.

For most loads, use the Soil Level that is preset with the cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL to select more wash time, if needed. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL to select less wash time, if needed. Lower Soil Level setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.

6. CYCLE OPTIONS

When you select a cycle, its default options will light up. Not all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all models.

WATER SAVE SPRAY RINSE

Use this option to save water by using a spray rinse instead of a deep water rinse. This option is the default setting on some cycles, and selectable on other cycles. When using fabric softener, always select the Fabric Softener button, or select Extra Rinse; both of these options will dispense fabric softener in a deep rinse.

FABRIC SOFTENER

This option must be selected if using fabric softener during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.

EXTRA RINSE

This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse to most cycles.

END SIGNAL

Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds at end of cycle. You may select Hi, Low, or Off (no indicator lit). A louder signal is helpful in removing items as soon as cycle is complete.

You may also add or remove options for each cycle. Not all options can be used with all cycles, and some are preset to work with certain cycles.

7. LID LOCK INDICATOR

This light indicates that the lid is locked and cannot be opened. If you need to open the lid, press START/PAUSE. The lid will unlock once the washer movement has stopped. This may take several minutes if the load was spinning at high speed. Press START/PAUSE again to restart the cycle.

8. CYCLE STATUS LIGHT INDICATORS

The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that are different from traditional washers.

FILL

When the Start/Pause button is pressed, the washer will add a small amount of water to the load, then pause for a few seconds. The lid will then lock and the washer will continue to fill.

WASH

You will hear the motor and washplate moving the load. Unlike traditional washers, the load is not covered with water. 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. The motor sounds may change at different stages in the cycle. The wash time is determined by the selected Soil Level.

RINSE

You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning on briefly (short hum) to move the basket while filling. Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric Softener option was selected. Some cycles use spray rinsing.

SPIN

The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.

DONE

Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove the load promptly for best results.

ADD A GARMENT

You may place additional clothing in the wash when the Add a Garment indicator light is glowing without sacrific- ing wash performance. Press START/Pause once. The Lid Lock light will turn off. Open the washer lid, add garments and close the lid. Press START/Pause to restart.

CLEAN WASHER REMINDER

The Clean Washer Reminder indicator lights after 30 wash cycles without a clean washer cycle. See the “Cleaning Your Washer” section to run the clean washer cycle, or you can press REMINDER RESET button to manually reset clean washer cycle counter.

DISPENSERS

A. High Efficiency “HE” detergent dispenser

Add liquid or powdered HE detergent to this dispenser for your main wash cycle.

B. Liquid chlorine bleach dispenser

This dispenser holds up to 3/4 cup (180 mL) liquid chlorine bleach. The bleach will be automatically diluted and dispensed at the optimum time during the the wash cycle. This dispenser cannot dilute powdered bleach.

NOTE: Fill dispenser only with liquid chlorine bleach.

C. Liquid fabric softener dispenser

Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the liquid fabric softener dispenser, if desired. It will dispense automatically at the optimum time when the Fabric Softener option is selected.

• Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.

USING YOUR WASHER

1. Sort and prepare your 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 garments if stains remain after washing; 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.

Helpful Tips:

• When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load evenly. See “Cycle Guide” for tips and more information on using the Bulky cycle.
• Use mesh bags to help avoid tangling when washing delicate or small items.
• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions to avoid damage to your garments.

2. Load laundry into washer

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Do not load garments directly over the center of the washplate; when loaded, the center of the washplate should be visible. Try mixing different sized garments to reduce tangling.

IMPORTANT: Garments need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

Using Laundry Product Dispensers

3. Add HE detergent to dispenser

Add a measured amount of HE detergent into detergent dispenser.

IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in 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.

NOTE: If using an Oxi laundry boost product, add to the detergent dispenser.

HELPFUL TIP: See “Washer Maintenance” for information on recommended method of cleaning washer dispensers.

4. Add liquid chlorine bleach to dispenser

Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 3/4 cup (180 mL).

Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

5. Add fabric softener to dispenser

Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into dispenser; always follow manufacturer’s directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Then select Fabric Softener option.

IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option must be selected to ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle. Do not overfill or dilute. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer.

If Extra Rinse option is selected, fabric softener will be dispensed in the last rinse.

NOTE: Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this washer. They will not dispense correctly.

NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions to avoid damage to your garments.

9. Select cycle options

Select any other cycle options you may wish to add, if not previously set. Some cycles will automatically add certain options such as Extra Rinse. These may be turned off, if desired.

NOTE: Not all options are available with all cycles.

10. Press START/PAUSE to begin wash cycle

Press the START/PAUSE button to start the wash cycle. When the cycle has finished, the DONE indicator will light and the end of cycle signal will sound (if set). Promptly remove garments when cycle is done to prevent odor, reduce wrinkling, and rusting of metal hooks, zippers, and snaps.

If lid is left open for more than 10 minutes the water will pump out.

WASHER MAINTENANCE

WATER INLET HOSES

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, mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent marker.

CLEANING YOUR WASHER

Keep your washer as clean and fresh as your clothes.

To keep washer interior odor-free, follow this recommended monthly cleaning procedure:

1. Make sure the washer is empty.

2. Using recommended AFFRESH® washer cleaner, add one tablet to washer drum.

OR

If using liquid chlorine bleach, add 1 cup (250 mL) to liquid chlorine bleach dispenser.
