WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

7.Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

8.Read “Washer Use.”

9.To test and to clean your washer, measure ¹⁄₂ the manufacturer’s recommended amount of powdered or liquid High Efficiency (HE) detergent for a medium size load. Pour the detergent into the detergent dispenser. Select NORMAL/ CASUAL, and then select START. Allow the washer to complete one whole cycle.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

SENSOR SMART™ Electronic Controls

Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert.

Detergent Advantage System Dispenser

The three compartments in the dispenser allow loading of all laundry products before the washer is started. The products will be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for high-performance cleaning. TIMED BLEACH™ release is included in the detergent advantage system. The detergent is added at the beginning of the cycle, and the bleach is added after the enzymes have had a chance to do their cleaning. The fabric softener is dispensed in the rinse cycle. The Detergent Advantage System Dispenser tray can easily be removed for cleaning.

Auto Water Level

Adjusting to the size of the load, this feature allows the washer to use the minimal amount of water needed to clean and rinse the clothes. With a low water level, you can obtain the same results with smaller amounts of laundry products. Because only the required amount of water is used, the washer saves energy, too.

Larger Load Size

Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such as an average size sleeping bag, pillow or a large stuffed teddy bear. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads.

Suspension System

To reduce washer “walk” and “off-balance” conditions, your new washer combines:

2 Springs to isolate vibration

4 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement

Stainless Steel Drum

The stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher spin speeds for more water extraction, helping to reduce drying time.

High-Efficiency Wash System

Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with fewer, larger loads. It also conserves resources and lowers your water and energy bills.

Spin Speeds

This washer automatically selects a spin speed based on the cycle selected. This factory setting can be changed, however, with up to six different spin speed choices.

Thermal Optimizer

The heating system ensures that the wash water is heated to the preset temperature for the Heavy Duty, Whitest Whites, and Sanitary cycles. It also provides “Stepped Cleaning” when using the sanitary cycle. “Stepped Cleaning” starts the wash cycle with warm water to remove stains (such as blood or grass). The water continues to be heated in order to remove stains such as dirty mechanical oil.

Add Clothes

This option is available in all wash cycles except Rinse/Spin, Drain/Spin and Clean Washer. When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle, the Add Clothes status light will illuminate for the first 8 minutes. This washer allows a 8-minute period in which other garments may be added to a load.

Dynamic Balance

A precision balancing system that allows the washer to reach spin speeds of up to 1,300 rpm. The washer spins faster so that clothes coming out of the washer will dry faster. In addition, if the Dynamic Balance system detects off-balance loads during spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that they are evenly balanced.
