Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be marked
“HE” or “High Efciency.” Using non-HE detergent will likely
result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It
may also result in component malfunction and, over time, buildup
of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be low-sudsing and
quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best
performance. They should hold soil in suspension so it is not
redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled as
High Efciency are identical in formulation and their ability to
reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade HE
detergents may generate a high level of suds. Always follow the
detergent manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of
detergent to use.

MPORTANT: The lid must be closed before the washer basket fills with water and for the wash cycle to start. If the lid is open
and filling stops, close the lid and press the START/PAUSE button to complete the cycle.
WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
Lid Lock
To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the
Lid Lock 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 washer will ll to the
appropriate water level. When the washer is done lling,
it will start to agitate. If you need to open the lid to add
a garment after this point, the lid will remain unlocked
during the entire agitation portion of the wash phase. The
cycle will automatically pause when the lid is opened,
and the cycle will resume once the lid is closed and you
press the Start/Pause button. The lid will lock before the
spin phase begins. If you need to pause or stop after this
point, you must press the START/PAUSE button 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 (for example, 1 minute if
the cycle is in the spin phase). Press the START/PAUSE
button to resume the cycle.
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 spin phase as the lid lock
goes through a self-test. There will be different kinds of
humming and whirring sounds as the washplate tests for
load balance or 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.
