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: [] Read all instructions before using the washer. [] 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. [] 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. [] 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.

GROUNDING 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 electrical 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 plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. 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 fire, or electrical shock. iNSTRUCTiONS can result in death, WARNING: 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. 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. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a grounded 3 prong plug. For a permanently 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. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong 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. If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate. INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install washer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the washer is within approximately 3 ft (90 cm) of its final location. There are 4 bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the suspension system during transportation. These bolts also retain the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are removed. 1.

To test and to clean your washer, measure 1/2the detergent manufacturer's recommended amount of HE High Efficiency detergent for a medium-size load. Pour the detergent into the detergent dispenser. Select NORMAL/CASUAL, and then select START. Allow the washer to complete one whole cycle. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. FEATURESANDBENEFITS Electronic Controls Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert. Smart Dispensers The Smart Dispensers make your washer truly automatic. This washer provides a three-compartment dispenser which includes separate compartments for High Efficiency "HE" detergent, fabric softener, and liquid chlorine bleach. The dispenser can easily be removed for cleaning. Laundry products are dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to add them and ensuring that these cleaning products perform their best. Deep Clean with Steam This washer has a built-in steaming unit which is combined with the DEEP CLEAN option to provide multiple temperatures to help remove a variety of stains from garments. Spin Speeds This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. This factory setting can be changed, however. This washer offers up to four different spin speed choices. Heating Element This washer has a heating element that automatically heats the water to the optimal temperature on select cycles. This enables stepped cleaning, a process in which warm water is brought in and mixed with detergent first, then the water is heated. Stepped cleaning starts the wash cycle with warm water to remove stains (such as blood and grass). 6th Sense TM Technology Intuitive intelligence "knows every load" determining load sizes, water levels and how much cleaning time is needed. sense" Clean Washer Cycle with Steam This cycle uses steam to raise the temperature of the washer and makes the washer self-cleaning, flushing the machine's interior free of dirt and other residue. The use of AFFRESH TM washer cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach with this cycle, will remove and help avoid odor-causing residue. Auto Water Level This washer automatically adjusts water level for optimal cleaning and rinsing performance. Two sensors determine load size, load composition, and suds level, then the sensors adjust the water level to the proper setting. This eliminates guesswork. The water level is just right for every wash load size. Larger Load Size Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such as a king-sized bedspread. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads. Stainless steel Drum The stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher spin speeds for more water extraction, helping to reduce drying time compared to traditional top-load washers. High-Efficiency Wash System Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with fewer, larger loads. It also lowers your water and energy bills by helping conserve resources. 10 Add A Garment When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle, the Add a garment Status Light will glow for the first 4-8 minutes. This washer allows an 4-8 minute period in which other garments may be added to a load. Direct Injection Wash System This washer channels 100% of the water through the dispensers to assure thorough rinse-out and mixture of all the laundry products before they touch any garments. The water is then sprayed from the top front onto the center of the load, providing even distribution and optimum cleaning performance. It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispensers when the wash cycle is complete. Efficient Detergent System with Anti-Escape Valve This washer has a specially designed valve that closes during the wash portion of the cycle so that 100% of the water and detergent mixture is used on the load. The Efficient Detergent System ensures that no water or detergent is wasted. 6-Point Suspension System Shock absorbers, 2 springs and electronic controls are specially designed to help redistribute the load automatically and minimize movement of the wash drum during the spin cycle. The 6-Point Suspension System reduces the amount of force transmitted to the floor by the washer, resulting in reduced noise and vibration.

First Wash Cycle Without Laundry Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during the final installation step, choose the Normal/Casual cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. Use _/2the manufacturer's recommended amount for a medium-size load. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes. For All Wash Cycles Fire Hazard Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids. Open the washer door by pulling on the handle. Sort laundry according to color and type of fabric. Place a load of sorted clothes in the washer. Do not overload washer. Overloading can cause poor cleaning. No washer • The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close easily. • Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items. Load evenly. • Wash small items, such as infant socks, in mesh garment bags. It is recommended that more than one garment bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material. • When unloading garments, check under the gray colored seal at the front of the tub for small items. can completely remove oil. 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 using your washer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual for more detailed information, 2, Do not store laundry products on the top surface of this washer. Vibration is normal during operation. Use only High Efficiency 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 are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use. 3. Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the lock clicks. The washer door will remain locked during the wash cycle. NOTES: • After any wash cycle is completed, the door must be opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin. • The door can be opened only if PAUSE/CANCEL is selected while the Add A Garment light is glowing or if the cycle has been canceled. • See "To cancel a cycle" in "Changing, Cycles, Options and Modifiers" section.
