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 off, the lid can be opened. After a cycle is started,

the lid locks, unlocks, and locks again. If you need

to open the lid to add a garment after this point, you

must press START/PAUSE/UNLOCK 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.

Sensing

This washer will perform a series of spins to check

for load balance. When a load is started, it may take

2–3 minutes before water begins to enter the basket.

During this time, a series of clicks and a whirring

noise signal that sensing technology is determining

if there is an off-balance load.

IMPORTANT:

• Washer will not operate if the lid is open.

• Washer will not begin to ll with water until the lid is closed, locked, and the sensing process is complete.

This delay in ll could take 2–3 minutes.

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

Sounds

At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear

sounds and pauses 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 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 differently than your past agitator-style washer.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

WATER LEVEL

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

a low amount of water for smaller loads and Super Plus will

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

need to move freely. Tightly packing can lead to poor cleaning

performance, and may increase wrinkling and tangling.

TEMPERATURE

Temperature Control 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 will 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.

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.

FABRIC SOFTENER

This option can be added to most cycles and must be set to

“YES” if using fabric softener during a cycle. It ensures that

fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for

even distribution.

START/PAUSE/UNLOCK 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.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS

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.

SENSING

When the START/Pause/Unlock button is pressed, the

washer will rst perform a self-test on the lid lock

mechanism. You will hear a click, and the lid will unlock

briey before locking again. The washer will use spins to

check for load balance. These spins may take several

minutes before water is added to the washer. You may

hear the hum of the spins before lling. This is normal.

WASH

You will hear the agitator moving the load. 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 briey (short hum) to move the basket while lling.

Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric Softener-Yes

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.

Not all features and options are available on all models.

Appearance may vary.

• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object

can pass under the agitator 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.

NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to

avoid damage to your garments.

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

Add a measured amount of detergent into the bottom of the

washer basket before adding clothes. If using an Oxi or

color-safe bleach laundry boost product, add to the bottom

of the washer basket, as well.

IMPORTANT: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine

the amount of detergent to use.

2. Add detergent

USING YOUR WASHER

5. Add fabric softener to dispenser

(on some models)

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.

Dilute liquid fabric softener by lling the dispenser with warm

water until liquid reaches the underside of the rim. See max ll line

arrows. Then select Fabric Softener-Yes option.

IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option must be selected to “Yes”

press the START/Pause/Unlock button to pause the washer. Lift the

lid and add the measured recommended amount of liquid fabric

softener. Do not allow liquid fabric softener to spill, splash, drip,

or run into the basket or on load. Do not use more than the

recommended amount. Close the lid and press the START/Pause/

Unlock button again to start the washer.

IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option must be selected to “Yes” to

ensure proper distribution of the fabric softener during the rinse

portion of the cycle.

to dispenser

Liquid

Chlorine Bleach

Do not overll, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (250 mL).

Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same

cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around basket wall. For

best results, do not pack the load tightly. Do not wrap large

items such as sheets around the agitator; load them in loose

piles around the sides of the basket. Try mixing different sized

items to reduce tangling.

3. Load laundry into washer

MAX FILL

mix antifreeze and remaining water.

3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

NON-USE AND VACATION CARE

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.
