WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be marked
“HE” or “High Efciency.” 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 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. The lower
water level combined with HE detergent during the rst stage
of the wash cycle delivers detergent directly to the soils.
Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.
Cleaning with Less Energy
First stage
Second stage
Your new Energy Star
®
qualied washer saves energy by using
lower water levels and reduced wash temperatures, as compared
to traditional top-load washers. During the rst stage of the wash
cycle, it is normal for some of the load to be above the water line.
The second stage adds the correct amount of water based on the
load size. This washer automatically adjusts the water level to the
load size - no water level selector is needed.
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 agitator
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.
When loading the washer with dirty laundry, ll it evenly
around the basket wall.
INTELLIFILL™
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. This may take several minutes before water is added. You
will nd 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.
