Start

and Options have been selected. The lid must be closed for the washer to start.
Pause/Cancel
Press PAUSE/CANCEL once to pause or stop the washer at any time. Press PAUSE/CANCEL
once to unlock the lid and add a garment. Press START to complete the cycle from where it
was stopped. Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to stop the wash cycle. The washer will then drain
and turn off.
Lid Lock
When the Lid Lock status light glows, the washer lid is locked.
NOTE: You must wait until the Lid Lock Light turns off before the lid can be opened.
Normal Sounds
Your new washer may make sounds your old one didn’t. Because the sounds might be
unfamiliar, you may be concerned about them. These sounds are normal.
During washing
If you select the Stain Cycle option, you will hear a spin/spray noise at the start of the cycle.
During drain
If water is drained quickly from your washer (depending on your installation), you may hear
air being pulled through the pump during the end of draining.
During wash and spin
This washer does not have a transmission. The motor provides direct drive for agitation and
spin. You will hear sounds that are different from those of a conventional washer.
LAUNDRY TIPS
Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Turn wool knits inside out before washing.
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 (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).
■ Separate bulky, nonabsorbent items such as comforters, pillows and poly-filled jackets.
Use the Bulky cycle for these items.
■ Separate sheets, pillowcases and towels and use the Sheets cycle for these items. For best
performance, drop items in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall and do not load
items directly on the impeller for this cycle.
■ When washing waterproof/water-resistant items such as plastic lined mattress pads,
shower curtains, tarps, jackets, or sleeping bags, select the lowest spin speed setting
available for the cycle and washer model being used.
Unloading
■ Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed. Metal objects such as zippers,
snaps, and buckles may rust if left in the washer basket for a long time.
Use only “HE” High Efficiency detergent.
