WASHER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT

SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer
including the following:
m Read all instructions before using the washer.
m Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
m Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
m Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been used
for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the washing
machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes. This will release
any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during
this time.

SAVE THESE

follow basic precautions,

Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used
near children.
Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door or lid.
Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is
moving.
Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to
the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in
published user-repair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.

INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected
washer:
This washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electricaI
shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be pIugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with aII IocaI
codes and ordinances.

WARNING:
A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical
supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.

Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a
3 prong grounding plug.

Do not modify' the plug provided with the appliance - if it wilI
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet,
grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a
mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

For a permanentmy connected washer:
This washer must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding
terminal or lead on
the appliance.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES
Your washer has several benefits and features that are summarized

gentlewash

High-Efficiency

Innovative

Wash System

Your new top loading, high-efficiency washer saves you time by
allowing you to do fewer, larger loads. It also conserves resources and
also lowers your water and energy bills by using these innovations.
Auto Water Level
This washer senses the load size and composition through a
series of fills and wash motion. It then adjusts the water level for
the best cleaning and rinsing performance. It eliminates the
guesswork. The water level is just right for every wash load size.
NOTE: You may notice during a cycle that the wash load is not
completely submerged in water. This is normal for your washer.
Auto Temperature Control (ATC)
The Auto Temperature Control (ATC) on this washer
electronically
senses and maintains a uniform water
temperature by regulating incoming water temperatures.
Using ATC will help dissolve detergent.
INVIZIBLE TM Agitator
Your new washer works differently than most washers that you
are accustomed to. The most striking difference is that the
washer has an invisible agitator. It uses this new innovative
agitator at the bottom of the wash basket to move your load
through a mixture of water and detergent. The detergent mixture
is continuously reapplied throughout the wash cycle to force out
stains and soils. The load is moved from the outside toward the
middle with items coming up in the center and down on the
outside edges.
Dispensers
The dispensers make your washer truly automatic. It is
unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to
add detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
Laundry additives are diluted with fresh water and added to the
load at the proper time in the wash cycle.
Spin Speeds
This washer is preset to automatically select the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. Depending on your wash load, you
can change the preset speeds. The spin speed on this washer is
nearly twice as fast as that of your previous washer. You may
notice different sounds during a spin cycle because of this higher
rate of speed.
Staintreat (CATALYST _ Cleaning Action)
The Staintreat option helps to ensure better soil and stain
removal. Staintreat reduces the need for pretreatment and is safe
for all fabrics. Water flushes through the dispenser to dissolve the
detergent. The detergent mixture is then sprayed onto the load
while the washer spins at low speed. This cleaning action will last
up to 5 minutes depending on the cycle selected. The washer
then stops spinning, fills with water to the appropriate level and
continues washing with the selected cycle.
High Efficiency (HE) Detergent
This washer is designed for High Efficiency (HE) detergent use
only. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of
suds and give the best performance in low water wash systems.

here. Some items may not apply to your model.

Features

Your new washer includes these features that help to reduce
noise, increase the ease of use and improve wash performance.
Electronic Controls
Electronic controls with preset cycles are easy to use whether
you are a beginner or an "expert."
Quiet Operation
This washer is insulated with sound-dampening
materials to
reduce washer operation sounds and noises. On some models,
an additional tub wrap is added for superior vibration and sounddampening.
Suspension System
To reduce washer "walk" and "out of balance" conditions, your
new washer combines:
•

4 Spring damper struts to isolate vibration

•

Balance ring at the top and bottom of the wash basket to
minimize vibration

•

Operating software designed to sense and correct offbalance loads

Clean Washer Cycle
This washer features an easy-to-use Clean Washer cycle that
thoroughly cleans the inside of your washing machine using
higher water volumes in combination with liquid chlorine bleach.
Stainless Steel Basket
The stainless steel basket is corrosion resistant and enables
higher spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying
time.
Force Filter Wash/Rinse
System
This washer filters 100% of the wash and rinse water. The water
is filtered then recirculated. The force filter traps sand and dirt,
flushing them down the drain, so they are not redeposited onto
the clean clothes.
Save Energy Plus Option
The Save Energy Plus option allows you to increase your energy
savings on the higher temperature cycles (Whitest Whites and
Heavy Duty) while maintaining cleaning performance by
lengthening the wash time by only approximately 5 minutes.
Delay Start
Delay Start allows you to load your washer and pause the start of
the cycle for up to 13 hours.
End of Cycle Signal
The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the
wash cycle is finished. This signal is helpful when you are
removing items from the washer as soon as it stops.

WASHTIME

NOTE: Your washer model may differ slightly.
It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or
mildew. Use of regular (non-HE) detergent will void your
warranty. See "Warranty."

Use only "HE" High Efficiency detergent.

Place a load of sorted clothes into the washer. See "Laundry
Tips."

Fire Hazard
Never p_ace items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline or other flammable fluids.

•

Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and
small items.

•

Load only to the top of the basket as shown. Overloading
can cause poor cleaning. Items should move easily
through the wash water.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion,

or fire.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
The following is a guide to starting your washer. Periodic
references to other sections of this manual provide more detailed
information.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergents. The package for this
type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." HE
detergents such as TIDE ® HE are made to produce the right
amount of suds for the best performance in low water wash
systems. Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions to
determine the correct amount of detergent to use. Your washer's
new wash system will create too much sudsing if regular non-HE
detergent is used. Using regular detergent will likely result in
washer errors, longer cycle times and reduced rinsing
performance.

Pour measured powdered or liquid High Efficiency (HE)
detergent into the detergent dispenser. Do not put detergent
directly into the wash tub or onto clothes in the washer.

Add color-safe bleach (powdered or liquid) to this dispenser,
if needed. Be sure to match powdered color-safe bleach with
powdered detergent or match liquid color-safe bleach with
liquid detergent.

Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach into the liquid chlorine
bleach dispenser, if needed. Bleach is diluted and
automatically dispensed at the proper time during the wash
cycle.

NOTE: Some "Handwash" items, particularly wool, naturally
shrink when washed. Keep this in mind when you purchase items
labeled "Handwash." Items that shrink should be dried flat. When
these items are still wet, "block" them by gently stretching to the
original measurements.

This cycle introduces liquid chlorine bleach to the load at the
proper time for improved whitening of your heavily soiled white
fabrics. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed
spin. For maximum soil and stain removal, liquid chlorine bleach
should be used.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle for heavily soiled cotton or sturdy items. Cycle
combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin.
Staintreat is the default option for this cycle, but it may be turned
off. See "Changing Cycles, Modifiers and Options."
Normal
Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and linens, such as
sheets, blankets and towels. Cycle combines high-speed wash
action and high-speed spin.
Casual/Wrinkle

Free

Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press and
blends. This cycle uses medium-speed wash action, a mediumspeed spin and a cool down process to reduce wrinkling.
Express Wash
Use this cycle to wash 1 or 2 lightly soiled items that are needed
in a hurry. This short cycle combines high-speed wash action and
high-speed spin for the best cleaning and shortened dry times.
Bulky/Bedding
This cycle is designed for oversized items that do not easily
absorb water, such as comforters, pillows and poly-filled jackets.
This cycle gently washes these nonabsorbent items in a preset
water level to avoid damage. This cycle starts with a soak to
thoroughly saturate your large item. This is followed by medium
wash action and medium spin speeds to maintain load balance.
NOTE: Due to the preset water level, other similar items will
create an unbalanced load in this cycle.
Darks/Colore
Use this cycle for dark or highly dyed natural fabrics such as
jeans or other cotton items that may be susceptible to dye loss.
This cycle uses low to medium-speed wash action and highspeed spin. For best results use cold or warm water.
Delicate/Silk
Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled garments indicating
"Machine Washable Silks" or "Gentle" cycle on the care label.
This cycle uses low-speed wash action and low spin speeds for
increased fabric care and less wrinkling.
Wool/Handwash
Use this cycle to clean special care garments or for items labeled
as "Machine Washable Wool." (Check label instructions to make
sure that the garment is washable.) This cycle uses intermittentlow speed wash action and low-speed spin for the gentlest fabric
care with less wrinkling.
Garments are labeled "Nandwash"
because:
•

The fiber construction

may be sensitive to wash action.

•

The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.

Rinse/Drain&Spin
Rinse/Drain & Spin
The Rinse & Spin and Drain & Spin cycles are selected with the

When Auto Soak is selected, the washer saturates the load
with water and detergent then pauses to allow the detergent
to work on soils. The pause is followed by a slow-speed spin.
The washer pauses and spins six times before advancing to
the desired wash cycle. Auto Soak adds approximately
12 minutes to the wash cycle.
When Prewash is selected, the washer fills to the desired
water level. It then alternates between 1 minute of wash
action and a 1-minute pause period three consecutive times
with an extended pause to end the cycle. When Prewash is
complete, the washer advances to the selected wash cycle.
The Prewash option extends your wash time by
approximately 11 minutes.

LAUNDRY TIPS
Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
•

Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergent detergents. The
package for this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or
"High Efficiency." This wash system, along with less water,
will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent.
Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors,
longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance, It may
also result in component failures and noticeable mold or
mildew. HE detergents such as TIDE ®HE are made to
produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.
Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use.

Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other
items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid
scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim
and ornaments.
Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.
Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.

•

Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.

•

Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

•

Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

•

Treat spots and stains.

•

Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best
results.

Sorting
•
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if
they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers
(towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.
•

Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from
non-colorfast items.

BENEFIClOS Y CARACTERiSTICAS
Su lavadora cuenta con varies beneficios y caracterfsticas
apliquen a su modelo.

Sistema

de lavado de alto rendimiento

gentlewash

que se resumen a continuaci6n.

Su lavadora de carga superior y alto rendimiento ahorra tiempo al
permitirle hacer menos cargas y mas grandes. Con estas
innovaciones, tambien conserva los recursos y reduce sus
cuentas de los servicios de agua y electricidad.
Nivel automatico del agua
Esta lavadora detecta el tama_o y la composici6n de la carga a
traves de una serie de Ilenados y el movimiento de lavado.
Luego, regula automaticamente el nivel del agua para Iograr un
rendimiento 6ptimo de limpieza y enjuague. Elimina asi el calculo.
El nivel del agua es el apropiado para cada tamale de carga de
lavado.
NOTA: Puede notar durante un ciclo que la carga de la lavadora
no esta completamente sumergida en el agua. Esto es normal
para su lavadora.
Control automatico de temperatura
(CAT)
El control automatico de temperatura (CAT) detecta y mantiene
electr6nicamente una temperatura de agua uniforme al regular
las temperaturas del agua entrante. El use del CAT ayudara a
disolver el detergente.
Agitador INVIZIBLE TM
Su nueva lavadora trabaja de forma diferente que la mayoria de
las lavadoras alas que usted esta acostumbrado. La diferencia
mas Ilamativa es que la lavadora cuenta con un agitador invisible.
Utiliza este nuevo agitador innovador en el fondo de la canasta
de la lavadora para mover la carga en una mezcla de agua y
detergente. La mezcla de detergente se reaplica continuamente
durante el ciclo de lavado para retirar las manchas y la suciedad.
La carga se mueve desde afuera hacia el centro y luego las
prendas se mueven hacia arriba en el centre para luego caer en
los lades exteriores.
Depbsitos
Los dep6sitos realzan la calidad automatica de su lavadora. No
es necesario que usted regrese en el transcurso del lavado para
agregar detergente, blanqueador o suavizante de telas.
Los aditivos de lavanderia se diluyen con el agua y se incorporan
a la carga de ropa en el memento oportuno del ciclo de lavado.
Velocidades de exprimido
Esta lavadora esta prefijada para seleccionar automaticamente la
velocidad de exprimido segQn el ciclo seleccionado.
Dependiendo de la carga de lavado, usted puede cambiar las
velocidades prefijadas. La velocidad de exprimido en esta
lavadora es aproximadamente dos veces mas rapida que la de
su lavadora anterior. Es posible que escuche sonidos diferentes
durante el ciclo de exprimido come consecuencia de la mayor
velocidad.
Tratamiento de manchas (Accibn de limpieza catalizadora
CATALYST _)
La opci6n de tratamiento de manchas le ayuda a asegurarse la
mejor remoci6n de suciedad y manchas. La acci6n de
tratamiento de manchas reduce la necesidad de pretratamiento y
es segura para todas las telas. El agua corre por el dep6sito para
disolver el detergente. Luego, la mezcla de detergente es rociada
sobre la carga mientras que la lavadora gira a una velocidad baja.
Esta acci6n de limpieza durara hasta 5 minutos dependiendo del
ciclo que haya seleccionado. Luego la lavadora deja de exprimir,
se Ilena con agua hasta el nivel correspondiente y continQa
lavando con el ciclo seleccionado.

Es posible que algunas caracteristicas

no se

Detergente de alto rendimiento (HE).
Esta lavadora esta dise_ada para utilizar detergente de alto
rendimiento (HE) solamente. Los detergentes de alto rendimiento
(HE) estan hechos para producir la cantidad adecuada de
espuma para el mejor rendimiento en sistemas de lavado con
nivel bajo de agua.

Caracteristicas

innovadoras

Su nueva lavadora incluye estas caracteristicas que le ayudan a
reducir el ruido, facilitar mas el uso y mejorar el rendimiento de lavado.
Controles electrbnicos
Los controles electr6nicos con ciclos prefijados son faciles de
usar tanto sea usted principiante o experto.
Funcionamiento
silencioso
Esta lavadora esta aislada con materiales aislantes que reducen tanto
los sonidos come los ruidos durante elfuncionamiento de la lavadora.
En algunos modelos se ha agregado un envoltorio adicional en la tina
para un aislamiento superior de vibraciones y sonidos.
Sistema de suspensibn
Para reducir los problemas de la "caminata" y el "desequilibrio"
de la lavadora, su nueva lavadora cuenta con:
•

4 amortiguadores

•

Are de balance en la parte superior e inferior de la canasta de
la lavadora para reducir la vibraci6n al minimo

de resorte para aislar las vibraciones

•

Software de funcionamiento diser_ado para detectar y
corregir las cargas que estan desequilibradas

Ciclo de limpieza de la lavadora
Esta lavadora presenta un ciclo de limpieza facil de usar que
limpia a fondo el interior de la maquina de lavar, usando mayores
volQmenes de agua junto con el blanqueador Ifquido con cloro.
Canasta de acero inoxidable
La canasta de acero inoxidable es resistente a la corrosi6n y
permite velocidades mas altas de exprimido, Iogrando mayor
extracci6n del agua, que a su vez reduce el tiempo de secado.
Sistema de lavado/enjuague
con flltro de fuerza
Esta lavadora filtra 100% del agua de lavado y enjuague. El agua
es filtrada y luego vuelve a circular. El filtro de fuerza atrapa la
arena y la suciedad y las elimina a traves del desagQe para que
no vuelvan a depositarse en las prendas limpias.
Opcibn de ahorro extra de energia (Save Energy Plus)
La opci6n de ahorro extra de energ_a (Save Energy Plus) le
permite incrementar el ahorro de energia en los ciclos con
temperaturas mas altas (Blancos blanqu[simos y Lavado intenso)
a la vez que mantiene el rendimiento de lavado prolongando el
tiempo de lavado por aproximadamente s61o 5 minutos.
Inicio diferido (Delay Start)
El inicio diferido le permite cargar la lavadora y hacer una pausa
al comienzo del ciclo por hasta 13 horas.
Sehal de fin de ciclo
La serial de fin de ciclo emite un sonido audible una vez que el
ciclo de lavado ha terminado. Esta sepal es Qtil cuando tiene que
quitar artfculos de la lavadora tan pronto come esta se detenga.

qui sont resumes ici. Certains articles peuvent ne pas s'appliquer

Cette action de nettoyage durera jusqu'a 5 minutes selon le
programme selectionne. Puis la laveuse arr_te I'essorage, se
remplit au niveau d'eau approprie et poursuit le lavage avec le
programme selectionne.
TM

Votre nouvelle laveuse Haute efficacite a chargement par le
dessus vous fait gagner du temps gr&ce a des charges moins
nombreuses et plus importantes. Gr&ce aces innovations, elle
permet aussi de preserver les ressources et reduit les factures
d'eau et d'energie.

D_tergent Haute efficacit_ (HE)
Cette laveuse est con(;ue pour I'utilisation d'un detergent Haute
efficacite (HE) uniquement. Les detergents HE sont congus pour
produire la quantite exacte de mousse et procurer le meilleur
rendement avec les systemes de lavage a faible niveau d'eau.

Niveau d'eau automatique
Cette laveuse detecte le volume de la charge et sa composition
travers une serie de remplissages et de mouvements de lavage.
Elle ajuste ensuite le niveau d'eau pour un rendement de
nettoyage et de ringage optimal. Ceci elimine les calculs
approximatifs. Le niveau d'eau correspond exactement au
volume de chaque charge de lavage.
REMARQUE : Pendant un programme, il est possible de
remarquer que la charge de lavage n'est pas completement
immergee dans I'eau. Ceci est normal pour la laveuse.
Commande automatique de la temperature (CAT}
La Commande automatique de la temperature (CAT) sur cette
laveuse detecte et maintient electroniquement une temperature
uniforme de I'eau en contr61ant la temperature de I'eau d'arrivee.
L'utilisation de la CAT favorisera la dissolution du detergent.
Agitateur INVIZIBLE TM
Votre nouvelle laveuse fonctionne differemment de la plupart des
laveuses traditionnelles. La difference la plus frappante est que la
laveuse comporte un agitateur invisible. Elle a recours a cet
agitateur innovant situe au fond du panier de lavage pour
deplacer la charge dans un melange d'eau et de detergent. Le
melange de detergent est applique de fagon continue pendant le
programme de lavage pour eliminer les taches et salissures. La
charge est deplacee de I'exterieur vers le centre avec des articles
diriges vers le haut au centre et vers le bas sur les bords
exterieurs.
Distributeurs
Les distributeurs rendent votre laveuse veritablement
automatique. II n'est pas necessaire de retourner a la laveuse
pendant le programme pour ajouter detergent, agent de
blanchiment ou assouplissant de tissu.
Les additifs de lessive sont dilues avec de I'eau frafche et ajoutes
la charge au moment approprie au cours du programme de
lavage.
Vitesses d'essorage
Cette laveuse est prereglee pour selectionner automatiquement
la vitesse d'essorage en fonction du programme selectionne. En
fonction de la charge de lavage, vous pouvez modifier les
vitesses prereglees. La vitesse d'essorage sur cette laveuse est
presque deux fois plus rapide que celle de votre precedente
laveuse. II est possible de remarquer des sons differents pendant
un programme d'essorage en raison de la vitesse accrue.
Staintreat/traitement
des taches (action de nettoyage
CATALYST _)
L'option Staintreat aide a assurer une meilleure elimination des
saletes et des taches. L'option Staintreat reduit le besoin de
pretraitement et est sans danger pour tousles tissus. De I'eau
passe dans le distributeur pour dissoudre le detergent. Le
melange de detergent est ensuite vaporise sur la charge tandis
que la laveuse effectue un essorage a basse vitesse.

Cette laveuse filtre 100 % de I'eau de lavage et de ringage. L'eau
est filtree puis remise en circulation. Le filtre force coince le sable
et les saletes, les chasse par le tuyau d'evacuation afin qu'ils ne
se redeposent pas sur les v_tements propres.

Option Save Energy Plus (_conomie d'_nergie Plus)
L'option Save Energy Plus vous permet d'augmenter les
economies d'energie sur les programmes a temperature plus
elevee (Whites Whites/blancs les plus blancs et Heavy Duty/

conserver I'interieur de la laveuse frais et propre. Ce programme
utilise un niveau d'eau plus eleve en combinaison avec I'agent de
blanchiment liquide pour nettoyer a fond I'interieur de la machine

de la laveuse".

Temp (temperature de lavage/rinc_.age)

ringages a froid. Les ringages a I'eau tiede augmentent aussi le
froissement. Dans les climats froids, un ringage a I'eau tiede
facilite la manipulation de la charge. Toutefois, les ringages a froid
6conomisent de 1'6nergie.
