English
The impeller moves the load through the water while using
less water and energy compared to a traditional agitator-style
washer.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be
marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” 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.
Normal Sounds You Can Expect
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds that
are different from those of your previous washer. For example,
you may hear a clicking 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 impeller 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.
Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.

Concentrated Cleaning

Low low-water cleaning system means concentrated
cleaning. Rather than diluting detergent as done in an
agitator-style washer, this washer delivers the detergent
directly to the soils.
WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Cleaning with Less Water
The most striking difference in your new washer is the
low-water impeller wash system. The washer automatically
adjusts the water level to the load size—no water level selector
is needed.

Impeller
When loading the washer with dirty laundry, ll it evenly
around the basket wall. 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. This may take
several minutes.
Water is added to the load while the basket turns slowly. As the
washer dampens and moves the load, the level of clothes will
settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not indicate that
more clothes should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water
like with your past agitator-style washer.
