WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Cleaning with Less Water

The most striking difference in your new washer is the low-water swashplate wash system. The washer automatically adjusts the water level to the load size—no water level selector is needed.

For best performance, it is recommended to load garments in loose heaps evenly around the swashplate.

As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the garments will settle in the basket. This is normal and does not indicate that more garments should be added.
IMPORTANT:
You will not see a washer basket full of water as with your past agitator-style washer. It is normal for some of the load to be above the water line.

INTELLIFILL Water Level Control

Once you start the cycle, the lid will lock, and the washer will begin the sensing process to determine the correct water level for the load. You will find a step-by-step description in the “Cycle Status Lights” section.You will hear the motor turn the basket in short pulses to thoroughly wet the load. This low-water wash method uses less water and energy compared to a traditional agitator-style washer.

Auto Temperature Control
Auto Temperature Control (ATC) regulates incoming hot and cold water, blending the temperatures for optimal and consistent cleaning. The ATC is automatically turned on when a cycle is selected.

Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in 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.

Concentrated Cleaning

Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer, this washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils.

Normal Sounds You Can Expect
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and noises that are different from those of your previous washer. For example, you may hear a clicking and hum at the beginning of the cycle, as the lid lock goes through a self-test. There will be different kinds of humming and whirring sounds as the swashplate 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.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

1. ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING DISPLAY
   The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display. Tightly packed or unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.
2. POWER/CANCEL BUTTON
   Press to turn the washer ON or OFF.
3. WASH CYCLE KNOB
   Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.
4. START/PAUSE BUTTON
   Press to start the selected cycle. Be sure all desired Modifiers and Options have been selected. Press START/PAUSE once to unlock the lid and add a garment. Press START/PAUSE again to complete the cycle from where it was stopped.
   The lid must be closed for the washer to start.
5. CYCLE MODIFIERS
   Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and save energy. Not all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all models.

WASH TEMP
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are washing. Use the warmest wash water suitable for fabrics. Follow garment label instructions. All cycles use cold rinses. Cold rinses may help with wrinkling and save energy.
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.

SPIN SPEED
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be changed. Not all spin speeds are available with all cycles.

•  Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times but may increase wrinkling in your load.
•  Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling but will leave your load damper.

SOIL LEVEL
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. As you press Soil Level, the cycle time (minutes) will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display and a different wash time will appear. For most loads, use the Soil Level that is preset with the cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL to select more wash time, if needed. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL to select less wash time, if needed. Lower Soil Level settings will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.

CYCLE OPTIONS
When you select a cycle, its default options will light up. Not all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all models.

WATER SAVE SPRAY RINSE

Use this option to save water by using a spray rinse instead of a deep water rinse. This option is the default setting on some cycles, and selectable on other cycles. When using fabric softener, always select the FABRIC SOFTENER button, or select EXTRA RINSE; both of these options will dispense fabric softener in a deep rinse.

EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse to most cycles.

FABRIC SOFTENER
This option must be selected if using fabric softener during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.

CYCLE SIGNAL
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds at end of cycle. You may select Hi, Low, or Off (no indicator lit). A louder signal is helpful in removing items as soon as cycle is complete.You may also add or remove options for each cycle. Not all options can be used with all cycles, and some are preset to work with certain cycles.To turn Button Sounds either Off or On: Button Sounds can be turned off or on by holding down the Cycle Signal button for 5 seconds. The washer will make a single short beep/tone when complete. This function can be completed at any time during the washer’s operation, but not in STANDBY.

When the Button Sounds function is set to Off:

•  Invalid key selection tones (3 short beeps/tones) will still remain active, but will sound at the “SOFT” volume level.
•  All Valid key selection tones (1 short beep/tone) are disabled including Power/Cancel and End of Cycle signal, as well as the chime that is produced when turning the cycle knob past NORMAL.

NOTE: The chosen setting will remain in effect through a power loss.

LID LOCK INDICATOR
This light indicates that the lid is locked and cannot be opened. If you need to open the lid, press START/PAUSE. The lid will unlock once the washer movement has stopped. This may Take several minutes if the load was spinning at high speed. Press START/PAUSE again to restart the cycle.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHT INDICATORS
The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that are different from traditional washers.

• FILL
  When the Start/Pause button is pressed, the washer will add a small amount of water to the load, then pause for a few seconds. The lid will then lock and the washer will continue to fill.
• WASH
  You will hear the motor and swashplate moving the load.It is normal for some of the load to be above the water line. Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer, this washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils. The motor sounds may change at different stages in the cycle. The wash time is determined by the selected Soil Level.
• RINSE
  You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning on briefly to move the basket while filling. Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric Softener option was selected. Some cycles use spray rinsing.
• SPIN
  The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.
• DONE
  Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove the load promptly for best results.
• ADD A GARMENT
  You may place additional clothing in the wash when the
  Add a Garment indicator is lit without sacrificing wash performance. Press START/PAUSE once. The Lid Lock light will turn off. Open the washer lid, add garments, and close the lid. Press START/PAUSE to restart.

USING YOUR WASHER

1. Sort and prepare your laundry
   •  Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can pass under the wash plate and become trapped, causing unexpected sounds.
   •  Sort garments by recommended cycle, water temperature, and colorfastness.
   • Separate heavily soiled garments from lightly soiled.
   •  Separate delicate garments from sturdy fabrics.
   •  Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing; heat can set stains into fabric.
   •  Treat stains promptly.
   •  Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
   •  Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to garments during washing.
   •  When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load evenly. See “Cycle Guide” for tips and more information on using the Bulky cycle.
   •  Use mesh bags to help avoid tangling when washing delicate or small items.
   •  Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
2. Add laundry products Add a measured amount of detergent or a single-dose laundry packet into the basket.
   If using Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals, add to the bottom of the washer basket before adding clothes.
   NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of laundry products to use.
3. Load laundry into washer
4. For best performance, it is recommended to load garments in loose heaps evenly around the swashplate. Try mixing different-sized garments to reduce tangling.
   IMPORTANT: Garments need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals to dispensers. They will not dispense correctly.Add HE detergent to dispenser
5. Add a measured amount of HE detergent into detergent dispenser.
   IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in 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. HELPFUL TIP: See “Washer Maintenance” for information on recommended method of cleaning washer dispensers.Add liquid chlorine bleach
6. Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 3/4 cup (180 mL). For maximum soil and stain removal, you may use the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser for liquid chlorine bleach or color-safe bleach.Add liquid fabric softener to the to dispenser
   
7. Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into the dispenser; always follow the manufacturer’s directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Then select Fabric Softener option.

WASHER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and Performing at its Best

1.  Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended amount because that may increase the rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.
2.  Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.
3.  Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing residue.

Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer.

Cleaning the Inside of the Washer
To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions provided above, and use this recommended monthly cleaning procedure:

Clean Washer Cycle
