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 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 washer will fill to the appropriate water level. When the washer is done filling, it will start to agitate.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES 1 3 2 Not all features and options are available on all models. Appearance may vary. 1 WATER LEVEL Set the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting and the washer will fill to a level that ensures the load engages the agitator. From this point, the electronic control will sense the load and determine if additional water is needed. Set the Water Level knob to the Deep Water Wash setting and the washer will fill to the maximum water level.
PAGE 5
RINSE Certain cycles use a spray rinse, which adds water to the tub while the basket spins. You may hear the motor turning on briefly (short hum) to move the basket while filling. FINAL SPIN The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper water removal, based on the selected cycle. CYCLE COMPLETE Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove the load promptly for best results. LID LOCKED The Lock feature allows for higher spin speeds.

CYCLE GUIDE For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best fits the load being washed. Recommended settings for best performance are shown in Bold. Each cycle listing also includes a performance chart rating its cleaning power, gentleness on items, and resource efficiency. Not all cycles and options are available on all models. Not all settings and options are available on each cycle.

USING YOUR WASHER 1. Sort and prepare your laundry 2. Add laundry products ■■ 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.

3. Load laundry into washer 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. IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack or force items into washer. Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling. 4.

TROUBLESHOOTING First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid a service call. If you experience Possible Causes Solution Washer not performing as expected (cont.) Dry spots on load after cycle Incorrect or wrong wash or rinse temperatures High spin speeds extract more moisture than your previous washer. The high spin speeds combined with airflow during the final spin can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry spots during the final spin. This is normal.
PAGE 15
TROUBLESHOOTING First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid a service call. If you experience Possible Causes Solution Washer not performing as expected (cont.) Not cleaning or removing stains Added more water to washer. Washer senses load size and adds correct amount of water. This is normal and necessary for clothes to move. It is normal for the wash load to be not completely covered in water. Added water lifts the laundry off the washplate, resulting in less effective cleaning.
