OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer 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, located in
your appliance's Owner's Manual, before operating this appliance.
NOTES:
� Not all features and cycles are on all models, and control panel
appearance may vary.
� If your model has a touch interface, the control panel features a
sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your finger. To
ensure your selections are registered, touch the control panel with
your fingertip, not your fingernail. When selecting a setting or
option, simply touch its name.
� If your model has physical buttons, make sure to press the button
firmly.
� At cycle completion, your setting and option choices will be
remembered for the next cycle. However, if power to the washer
is lost, the settings and options will go back to the factory defaults.
Button Descriptions
SOIL LEVEL
Select the setting most suitable for your load. For heavily soiled
and sturdy fabrics, select Heavy Soil Level for more wash time.
For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, select Light Soil Level for
less wash time. A lighter soil-level setting will help reduce
tangling and wrinkling.
WASH TEMP
Wash Temp senses and maintains uniform water temperatures
by regulating incoming hot and cold water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric and soils
being washed. For best results, follow the garment label
instructions using the warmest wash water safe for your fabric.
NOTES:
� On some models and cycles, warm and hot water may be cooler
than your previous washer.
� Even in a cold- or cool-water wash, some warm water may be added
to the washer to maintain a minimum temperature. All rinses are
cold.
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 online "Cycle
Guide" for detailed descriptions.
RINSE OPTIONS
The following options may be added to most cycles. See online "Cycle
Guide" for additional details.
1 Rinse
This option is used to limit a cycle to one rinse.
2 Rinses
This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse to all wash
cycles.
1 Rinse with 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.
2 Rinses with Fabric Softener:
This option turns on both the Fabric Softener and the 2 Rinses options.
WATER LEVEL
Set the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting and the washer
will fill to a level that ensures the load engages the agitator.
Adding Laundry Products
IMPORTANT: Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component malfunction and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be low-
sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.
Oxi
This washer is designed to dispense laundry
boosters such as oxygenated stain treaters and
color-safe bleach at the right time in the cycle for best
cleaning performance. Do not use laundry boosters
and chlorine bleach in the same cycle.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to
determine the amount of laundry products to use.

Top Load Washer Quick Start Guide
Step 1. Add HE Detergent
NOTE: See the "Adding Laundry
Products" section for more
information on adding HE
detergent, fabric softener, and/or
bleach.
Step 2. Load Clothes
For best results, load garments in
loose heaps evenly around basket
wall.
Step 3. Close Lid; then Select Cycle
and Settings
Step 4. Press Start/Pause
From this point, the electronic control will sense the load and determine if
additional water is needed. Set the Water Level knob to the Deep Water Wash
setting and the washer will fill to the maximum water level.
NOTES:
� Expect longer cycle times due to extended fill times when using the Deep
Water Wash option.
� Deep Water Wash is not available in the Normal cycle mode. Selecting the
Normal cycle with the Deep Water Wash setting will result in auto sensing
of the water level.
START/PAUSE BUTTON
Press to start the selected cycle. Press again to pause the cycle and unlock
the lid. Press and hold 3 seconds to cancel a cycle.
NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes to unlock
the lid. Press and hold for 3 seconds to cancel a cycle.
PROGRESS
The Progress lights show the progress of a cycle. At each stage of the
process, you may notice sounds or pauses that are different from your
previous washers.
Sensing
When the Start/Pause button is pressed, and the Water Level knob is set to
Auto Sensing, the washer will fill and begin sensing to determine load size and
balance.
NOTE: Sensing and wash phases will be paused by opening the unlocked lid.
Close the lid to resume the cycle. If the lid is left open for more than
10 minutes, the washer will cancel the cycle and pump out the water. The lid
will lock after the wash phase to begin the initial spinout and remain locked for
the remainder of the cycle.
Adding liquid chlorine bleach:
Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (236
mL). Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in
the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

Wash
The washer will fill to the correct water level based on the load size and the
Water Level selection. Certain cycles may agitate during the fill process to
boost cleaning. You will hear the agitator rotate, followed by a pause lasting
several seconds. When the wash cycle begins, you will hear the agitator
increase speed. The motor sounds may change at different stages in the
wash cycle while the washer performs different wash actions.
Rinse
Certain cycles use a spray rinse, which adds water to the tub while the
basket spins. You may hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer
rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning on briefly (short
hum) to move the basket while filling.
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, the lid will unlock and this light will come on.
For best results, promptly remove the load.
Lid Locked
The Lock feature allows for higher spin speeds. When lit, the lid is locked
and cannot be opened without pausing the cycle. When the light is off, the
lid can be opened.
To open the lid after it has been locked, 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 while the
lid is closed to resume the cycle.
On models with a fabric softener dispenser:
Add liquid fabric softener before beginning the cycle. Follow manufacturer's directions to determine amount; then dilute
liquid fabric softener by filling dispenser to underside of rim with warm water. See Max Fill arrows in dispenser. Fabric
softener will automatically be added during the final rinse.
On models without a fabric softener dispenser:
Add fabric softener manually during the final rinse. Press Start/Pause to pause the washer. Lift lid and add measured
recommended amount of liquid fabric softener. Close lid and press Start/Pause again to start the washer.
