WASHER SAFETY

Lid Lock

To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the

Lid Locked light will turn on. When this light is lit, the lid

is locked and cannot be opened. When this light is blinking,

the washer is paused. When this light is o, the lid can be

opened.

After a cycle is started, water will enter washer and then

lock. If you need to open the lid to add a garment after

this point, you must press START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid and

wait for the lid to unlock.

The lid will only unlock after washer movement has

stopped.

Depending on when in the cycle you try to pause, it may

take several seconds to several minutes for the lid to unlock.

Press START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid to resume the cycle.

Sensing

This washer will perform a series of spins to check for load

balance. During this time, a series of clicks and a whirring

noise signal that sensing technology is determining if there

is an o-balance load.

IMPORTANT:

• After the washer basket lls to the selected water level, the lid must be closed before the wash cycle can start.

If lling stops with the lid open, close lid and press START button.

• A Fabric Softener option must be selected to ensure fabric softener dispenses at the correct time.

Sounds

At dierent stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds

and pauses that are dierent 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 dierent kinds of humming and

whirring sounds as the agitator tests for load balance or

moves the load. And, sometimes, you may hear nothing

at all as the washer allows time for clothes to soak.

Spray Rinse

Select cycles default to a spray rinse. During these cycles,

you will hear water enter the washer as the tub spins,

allowing the rinse water to penetrate clothes. Check the

“Cycle Guide” for details.

WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Your new washer will operate dierently than your past agitator-style washer.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

LOAD SIZE

Select the setting most suitable for your load. Extra Small will

add a low amount of water for smaller loads and Extra Large

will add the most amount of water for large or bulky loads.

Items need to move freely. Tightly packing the load can lead

to poor cleaning performance, and may increase wrinkling

and tangling.

WASH TEMP

Wash Temp senses and maintains uniform water temperatures

by regulating incoming hot and cold water.

Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric and

soils being washed. For best results and following the garment

label instructions, use the warmest wash water safe for your

fabric.

• Warm and hot water may be cooler than what your

previous washer provided.

• Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm

water may be added to the washer to maintain

a minimum temperature. All rinses are cold.

3RINSE OPTIONS (on some models)

The following options may be added to most cycles.

ONE RINSE

Provides basic rinsing for any cycle.

2ND RINSE

This option can be used to automatically add a second

rinse to most cycles.

ONE RINSE with 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.

2nd RINSE with Fabric Softener

This option turns on both the Fabric Softener and the

2nd Rinse options.

WASH CYCLE KNOB

Use the Wash Cycle knob to select cycles on your washer.

See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid button

Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the

cycle and unlock the lid.

NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes to

unlock the lid. Press and hold for 3 seconds to cancel a cycle.

Not all features and options are available on all models.

Appearance may vary.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR

The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each

stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that

are dierent from traditional washers.

SENSING

When the START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid button is pressed,

the washer will ll to the selected water level. If the lid is

closed when the machine is done lling the lid will lock

and the machine will begin operation.

If the lid is open when the water stops entering the

machine, the cycle will not begin until the lid has been

closed and the START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid button is pressed.

If the cycle has not been started within 10 minutes of the

water lling the washer, the washer will pump out the

water.

NOTE: Avoid opening lid during sensing phase. The sensing

process will start over when the washer is restarted. The

sensing light may also come on during the Soak and Wash

portions of the cycle. This is normal. To restart the washer

after the lid has been opened press start.

WASH

You will hear the agitator moving the load. The motor

sounds may change at dierent 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 briey (short hum) to move the basket while

lling. Fabric softener will be added if the “with Fabric

Softener” option was selected.

Some cycles use spray rinsing. After draining and spinning

out wash water, the washer will continue to spin and spray

in rinse water for the entire rinse time.

SPIN

The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for

proper water removal, based on the selected cycle

and spin speed.

CYCLE COMPLETE

Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove

the load promptly for best results.

LID LOCKED

To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the

Lid Locked light will turn on. When this light is lit, the lid is

locked and cannot be opened. When this light is blinking,

the washer is paused. When this light is o, the lid can be

opened.

If you need to open the lid, press START/

PAUSE/Unlock Lid. 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/Unlock Lid again to resume

the cycle.

CYCLE GUIDE

USING YOUR WASHER

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,

re, or electrical shock.

WARNING

• 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, because

heat can set stains into fabric.

• Treat stains promptly.

• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and 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.

• Use mesh garment 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.
