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 follow instructions. injured if you don't immediately[ You can be killed or seriously instructions. injured if you don't follow 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, follow basic precautions, 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 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. [] See "Electrical Requirements" for grounding instructions.

BENEFITSANDFEATURES Your washer has several benefits and features that are summarized High-Efficiency 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 helps lower your water and energy bills by using the following 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. here. Some items may not apply to your model. Deep Clean Cleaning Action The Deep Clean option uses Direct Inject Cleaning Action to help ensure better soil and stain removal. Deep Clean reduces the need for pretreatment and is safe for all washable 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. Care Control Temperature Management The Care Control Temperature Management system on this washer electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature by regulating incoming water temperatures. Using Care Control will help dissolve detergent. Innovative Features Hydro Plate Wash System Your new washer works differently than most washers that you are accustomed to. The most striking difference is that the washer has an hydro plate wash system. It uses this new innovative hydro plate at the bottom of the wash basket to move your load through a mixture of water and detergent. 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 products are 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 a conventional washer. You may notice different sounds during a spin cycle because of this higher rate of speed. 4 Your new washer includes these features that help to reduce noise, increase the ease of use and improve wash performance. 6th Sense TM Technology 6th Sense TM Technology features built-in intelligence that "knows each wash load" for optimal cleaning, fabric care and efficiency. From weighing the size of the load to determining how much water is needed to clean it, the 6th Sense TM combination of intuitive features takes the guesswork out of clothes care. Three levels of off-balance protection and a suds detection sensor help ensure worry- and error-free operation for further peace of mind. 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 extra dampening of vibration and sound. 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 off balance loads Clean Washer with AFFRESH TM This washer features an easy-to-use thoroughly cleans the inside of your higher water volumes in combination cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach. Cycle Clean Washer cycle that washing machine using with AFFRESH _ washer 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. Delay Wash Delay Wash allows you to load your washer and pause the start of the cycle for up to 10 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. Spray Rinse This washer is designed to save water by rinsing the load with a spray rinse instead of a deep water rinse on some cycles. When using fabric softener, always select Fabric Softener from the Dispensers option (on some models), select Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some models), or select Extra Rinse.

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. 6 3= 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. Remember, concentrated detergent such as 2x or higher will use less detergent based on load size. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. 1= Add laundry boosters (powdered or liquid) (on models with Oxi option) or liquid chlorine bleach (on models without Oxi option) to the Bleach/Oxi dispenser. Do not mix laundry boosters and liquid chlorine bleach in the same cycle. At the end of the cycle, a small amount of water may be left in the dispenser. This is normal. On models with Oxi option, when using a laundry booster (powder or liquid): • Be sure to select Oxi from the options to assure proper dispensing. • Laundry boosters are automatically time during the wash cycle. Place a load of sorted clothes into the washer. See "Laundry Tips." • Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and small items. Items should move easily through the wash water. • Do not mix laundry boosters and liquid chlorine bleach in the same cycle. • • Do not mix laundry boosters and liquid chlorine bleach in the same cycle. • Do not overfill, dilute or use more than 1 cup (250 mL). • Follow the garment and chlorine bleach manufacturer's directions for proper use. • To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer basket. 4. Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the fabric softener dispenser. • If you are using fabric softener, be sure to select Fabric Softener from the options to assure proper dispensing. For best performance, load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. Do not load above the stainless steel portion of the basket, as shown. dispensed at the proper On models with Oxi option, when using liquid chlorine bleach: • Do not select Oxi option. No option selection is necessary for proper dispensing of liquid chlorine bleach. NOTE: Select Fabric Softener from the Dispenser Options to assure proper dispensing. 2= Pour measured powdered or liquid High Efficiency (HE) detergent into the detergent dispenser. Always use the detergent dispenser, and do not put detergent directly onto clothes in the washer. • Do not overfill. Do not dilute. The dispenser holds 3 oz (94 mL), or a capful of fabric softener. • The fabric softener is dispensed in the final rinse. If Extra Rinse is selected, the fabric softener will be dispensed during the Extra Rinse. • Do not use fabric softener dispensing balls in this washer. Dispensing balls will not operate correctly with this washer. • Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes. • At the end of the cycle, a small amount of water may be left in the dispenser. This is normal. NOTE: Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. 5. Close the washer lid. 6. 7. 8. Press POWER. This turns on the washer display. Select a Wash Cycle. See "Cycles."

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. Remember, concentrated detergents such as 2x or higher will use less detergent based on load size. • Brush away lint and dirt. Treat spots and stains, stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results. • Mend tears, loose hems, and seams. 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 noncolorfast items. Sort by fabric and construction items). (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate When washing waterproof/water-resistant items, such as plastic-lined mattress pads, shower curtains, tarpaulins, jackets or sleeping bags, use one of the following cycles: Delicate/Handwash, Colors/Towels, or Whitest Whites. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Tie strings and sashes to avoid tangles. 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. Turn wool and synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling. Cycle Options • For additional performance and enhancements to desired cycle, select options such as Deep Clean, Extra Rinse, Cycle Signal, and Dispensers.
