persons when using this appliance, follow basic  
precautions, including the following.  
•Do not tamper with controls.  
•Before use, the washer must be properly installed as  
described in this manual.  
•Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or  
attempt any servicing other than as described in this  
manual. We strongly recommend that any service be  
performed by a qualified technician.  
•Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned  
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry  
cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive  
substances, as they give off vapors that could  
ignite or explode.  
•See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.  
•ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by  
the garment manufacturer.  
•Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other  
flammable or explosive substances to the wash water.

contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a  
load to catch fire.  
•Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be  
produced in a hot water system that has not been  
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS  
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used  
for such a period, before using the washer, 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.  
•Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only  
as recommended by the manufacturer.  
•This washer is not designed for maritime use or for  
mobile installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.  
Turn OFF the water faucets and unplug the washer if  
the machine is to be left for an extended period of  
time, such as during vacations.  
•Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close  
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is  
used near children.  
Packaging material can be dangerous for children.  
There is a risk of suffocation. Keep all packaging  
from children.  
•Before the washer is removed from service or  
discarded, remove the door to prevent children from  
climbing inside.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
CONNECTING THE WATER LINES  
IMPORTANT: Use new hoses when installing the  
washer. Do NOT reuse old hoses.  
IMPORTANT: Use ONLY the inlet hoses provided with  
this washer. Aftermarket hoses are not guaranteed to fit or  
function correctly. Other hoses may not tighten correctly  
and could cause leaks. Subsequent damage to product  
or property will not be covered under the terms of the  
product warranty.  
Water supply pressure must be between 14.5 psi and  
116 psi (100~800 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more  
than 116 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.  
Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and wear,  
and replace the hose if necessary.  
3. Always run a gallon or two of water through each  
inlet hose to flush dirt, scale and other debris out  
of the water lines. Doing so will help prevent future  
problems with clogged filter screens, and will also  
allow you to verify which hose is hot and which  
is cold.  
•Make sure that the water lines are not stretched,  
pinched, crushed, or kinked.  
•The washer should never be installed or stored in a  
location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the  
water lines and internal mechanisms of the washer can  
result. If the washer was exposed to freezing temperatures  
prior to installation, allow it to stand at room temperature  
for several hours before use and check for leaks prior  
to operation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
LEVELING THE WASHER  
The drum of your new washer spins at very high speeds.  
To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement,  
the floor must be a level, solid surface.  
NOTE: Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to  
level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more than  
necessary can cause the washer to vibrate.  
NOTE: Before installing the washer, make  
sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of  
dust, dirt, water and oils so the washer feet  
cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that  
move or slide on the floor can contribute  
to excess vibration and noise due to  
poor contact with the floor. See  
Tighten all 4 lock nuts  
securely using the  
wrench.  
3. Once the washer is level from side to side and front to  
back, use the adjusting wrench to tighten all four lock  
nuts securely to prevent the legs from getting out of  
adjustment during operation. Make sure that all four  
leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor.  
INSTALLATION OF NON-SKID PADS  
for more information.  
NOTE: If a drip pan must be used, make sure to follow the  
instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure the  
leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with  
the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly level the  
machine may result in increased vibration and noise  
during operation.  
All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Rock  
the washer from corner to corner to make sure that all  
four leveling feet are in firm and even contact with the floor.  
NOTE: To make sure that the washer is properly level, run  
the washer with a test load: place a medium-sized load  
of laundry in the machine. Then, press POWER, select  
RINSE & SPIN, and press the START/PAUSE button.  
See the following sections for additional information on  
cycle selection and operation. Verify that the washer does  
not rock or vibrate excessively during the spin cycle. If the  
washer vibrates or shakes, adjust the leveling feet, while  
the washer is spinning, until the vibrations are reduced.  
Level  
INSTALLATION OF NON-SKID PADS  
(optional)  
Some floor surfaces are too slippery to prevent the  
washer from moving on the floor during heavily  
unbalanced loads. While it is normal for an occasional  
load to be out of balance, excess noise and vibration can  
result from the washer moving out of position. If these  
conditions are encountered, follow the instructions below  
for installation of the non-skid pads. These pads will help  
prevent the washer from moving during heavy, out of  
balance conditions, thereby reducing noise and vibration.

HOW TO USE  
SORTING WASH LOADS  
Loading the Washer  
•Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty.  
Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can  
damage both your washer and your clothes.  
Fabric Care Labels  
Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label.  
Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option  
selections to care for your clothing according to the  
manufacturer’s recommendations.  
•Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these  
items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.  
•Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.  
•Combine large and small items in a load. Load large  
items first.  
•Large items should not be more than half of the total  
wash load.  
•The drum should not be tightly packed with items. The  
door of the washer should close easily.  
To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash  
single items. Add one or two similar items to the load.  
Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, comforter, or  
bedspread, should be washed individually.  
•Do not wash or spin waterproof items, such as rain  
coats, sleeping bags, etc.  
When unloading the washer, check under the door seal  
for small items.  
Grouping Similar Items  
For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of  
damage to clothing, care should be taken to sort the  
clothing into loads that are made up of similar items.  
Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result  
in poor wash performance, color transfer or discoloration,  
fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into  
groups as described below.  
NOTE: Make sure that the door seal area is clear when  
closing the door. Overloading the washer can cause items  
to get caught between the door and the seal. This can  
damage both the items and the seal.  
Colors  
Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in a  
separate load from light colors or whites. Mixing dark  
clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or  
discoloration of the lighter clothes.  
Soil Level  
Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing lightly  
soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled  
clothing could result in poor wash performance for the  
lightly soiled clothing.  
Fabric Type  
• DO NOT OVERLOAD THE DRUM  
• MAKE SURE CLOTHING IS NOT  
CAUGHT IN THE DOOR GASKET  
Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavier or  
sturdier fabric types. Washing delicates in a load with  
heavy fabrics can result in damage to the more delicate  
fabrics. Washing heavier fabrics in a delicate load can  
result in poor wash performance for the heavier fabrics  
and possible damage to the delicates.  
Sort Laundry...  
Lint Type  
by Colors  
by Soil  
by Fabric  
by Lint  
Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others  
give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these  
lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing  
these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint  
collectors. (For example, lint collector – knit sweater; lint  
producer – terrycloth towels.)

Compartment  
Liquid Fabric  
Softener  
Compartment  
The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments  
which hold:  
Liquid  
Detergent  
Cup  
•Liquid chlorine bleach.  
•Liquid fabric softener.  
•Liquid or powdered detergent for prewash.  
•Liquid or powdered detergent and color-safe bleach  
for main wash.  
Prewash  
Detergent  
Compartment  
Main Wash Detergent  
Compartment  
Pre-Wash Detergent Compartment  
Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment  
when using the Pre-Wash option. Always use High-  
Efficiency (HE) detergent with your washing machine.  
Liquid Bleach Compartment  
This compartment holds liquid chlorine bleach, which is  
dispensed automatically at the proper time during the  
wash cycle.  
The amount of detergent added for the Pre-Wash  
option should be ½ the amount recommended for the  
main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash cycle  
requires ½ measure of detergent, add ¼ measure to the  
Pre-Wash compartment.  
•Do not add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach to  
this compartment. The bleach compartment is designed  
to dispense liquid chlorine bleach only. Powdered or  
liquid color-safe bleach will not dispense properly.  
•Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations  
when adding bleach. Do not exceed the maximum fill  
line since this can cause the bleach to be dispensed  
immediately, causing damage to fabrics. Using too much  
bleach can damage fabrics.  
NOTE: If using liquid detergent for the main wash when  
using the Pre-Wash option, the liquid detergent cup  
accessory must be used in the main wash dispenser. This  
will prevent the main wash liquid detergent from being  
dispensed immediately.  
•Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly  
onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.  
Main Wash Detergent Compartment  
Fabric Softener Compartment  
This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which is  
automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.  
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main  
wash cycle. The detergent is added to the load at the  
beginning of the cycle. Always use High-Efficiency (HE)  
detergent with your washing machine. Either powdered  
or liquid detergent may be used.  
Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when  
adding softener. Using too much fabric softener can result  
in buildup in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or  
liquid fabric softener may be used.  
Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations  
when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can  
result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.  
•Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations  
when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the  
maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may  
stain clothes.  
NOTE: Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be  
added to the main wash compartment with detergent of  
the same type. DO NOT add liquid or powdered  
color-safe bleach to the bleach dispenser. DO NOT mix  
liquid and powdered cleaning agents within the same  
compartment.  
•Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water.  
Do not exceed the maximum fill line.  
•Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or  
into the drum.

HOW TO USE  
DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE  
A Word About Detergents  
Detergent Amount  
High-Efficiency (HE) detergents produce fewer suds,  
dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing  
performance, and help to keep the interior of your  
washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause  
oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which  
could result in error codes, cycle failure, and  
machine damage.  
Use the detergent amount indicator to help  
determine the correct amount of detergent to use.  
Bars light up to indicate the size of the dry load sensed  
by the washer control. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s  
recommendations for the amount of detergent based on  
load size. The indicator will not be accurate if any wet  
clothes are placed in the washer.  
NOTE: The detergent amount indicator icon does not  
represent an actual detergent measuring cup or cap.  
Maximum  
Normal Load Amount  
Filling the Dispenser  
To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the  
automatic dispenser:  
Liquid  
Detergent  
Powdered  
Detergent  
For proper wash performance, always measure the  
detergent using the measurements provided by the  
detergent manufacturer.  
1
Open the dispenser drawer.  
2
Load the laundry products into the  
appropriate compartments.  
The normal amount of HE detergent needed, for average  
loads, is less than ½ of the recommended maximum.  
Use less detergent for soft water, light soil or smaller  
loads. Never use more than the maximum amount  
recommended by the detergent manufacturer.  
Close the drawer before starting the cycle.  
3
NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to  
remain in the bleach and softener compartments at the  
end of the cycle.  
IMPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry products,  
such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top  
of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately.  
These products can damage the finish and controls.  
Designed to use only  
High-Efficiency (HE) detergent  
IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use  
with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents  
are formulated specifically for front-load washers and  
contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE  
symbol when purchasing detergent.  
1 bar = small load  
IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Pay  
careful attention to the amount of detergent used to  
avoid oversudsing, poor rinsing and detergent buildup in  
clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors  
in the machine. NEVER use a cup or scoop other than the  
one supplied by the manufacturer of the detergent you  
are using. Never use more than the maximum amount of  
detergent recommended by the manufacturer.  
2 bars = medium load  
3 bars = large load  
4 bars = extra-large load  
Always measure the detergent amount. While HE  
detergents are designed for this type of washing  
machine, be careful when measuring the detergent. For  
most normal loads, no more than ¼ to ½ of cap or  
scoop of HE detergent should be used.  
NOTE: Extra care must be exercised when using 2X and  
3X concentrated detergents because even a little bit extra  
can contribute to the problems mentioned above.  
NOTE: Detergents designated as HE compatible may not  
provide optimal results.

ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING  
CYCLE STATUS INDICATOR  
These status LEDs illuminate to indicate which  
stage of the cycle is currently running. A blinking  
light indicates the active stage of the cycle. When  
that stage is complete, the light will remain steady.  
When the START/PAUSE button is pressed, the  
washer will automatically detect the load size for  
cycles that use load sensing. The control will then  
optimize the wash and rinse times, based on the se-  
lected cycle, modifiers and options. When the load  
size has been determined, the display will change  
from dashes (- - -) to the estimated time for that  
cycle. For non-load sensing cycles, the estimated  
time will display when the cycle is selected.  
DOOR LOCK INDICATOR  
Indicates that the door is locked. The washer door  
will lock while the washer is operating. The door can  
be unlocked by pressing START/PAUSE to pause  
the washer.  
NOTE:  
NOTE:  
•The time shown is only an estimate. For example,  
the time displayed may pause for a period of time  
while the machine is heating the water or balancing  
the load. Under certain conditions, the machine can  
pause for extended periods of time.  
•If the temperature in the washer is too high, the  
door cannot be unlocked until the washer  
has cooled.  
•If the water level is too high, the door will not  
unlock. To drain the water, press POWER, then press  
the SPIN SPEED button without selecting a cycle.  
Press START/PAUSE and the water will drain and  
the clothes will spin out. Do not try to force the door  
open, as it will damage the door.  
•Estimated time is based on normal operating  
conditions. Several external factors (load size, room  
temperature, incoming water temperature, etc.) also  
affect the length of estimated time vs. actual time.  
B
LOAD-SENSING INDICATOR  
At the beginning of cycles that use the load sensing  
feature, the LOAD SENSING light will blink while the  
load size is being measured. Once the size has been  
determined, the control adjusts the cycle for  
optimum performance. Estimated time remaining will  
not display until the load size has been determined,  
and may be different for each load.  
E
DETERGENT AMOUNT INDICATOR  
The detergent amount indicator  
displays the  
suggested amount of detergent for the load. Fewer  
lit bars indicate a smaller load; therefore, less  
detergent should be used.

HOW TO USE  
CYCLE MODIFIER BUTTONS  
NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash  
temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available  
with every cycle. A chime will sound and the LED will not  
light if a selection is not allowed.  
Each cycle has default settings that are selected  
automatically. You may also customize these settings  
using the cycle modifier buttons. Press the button for the  
desired modifier until the indicator light for the desired  
value is lit. The washer automatically adjusts the water  
level for the type and size of wash load for best results  
and maximum efficiency. Due to the high-efficiency  
nature of this product, water levels may be much lower  
than expected. This is normal operation and cleaning/  
rinsing performance will not be compromised.

A
B
SPIN SPEED  
WASH TEMP  
Wash Temp selects the wash and rinse temperature  
combination for the selected cycle. Press the Wash  
Temp button until the indicator light for the desired  
setting is lit.  
Your washer features a heating element to boost  
the hot water temperature for Extra Hot settings.  
This provides improved wash performance at  
normal water heater settings.  
•Select the water temperature suitable for the type  
of load you are washing. Follow the garment fabric  
care labels for best results.  
Warm rinses are regulated at approximately  
86°F (30°C).  
Higher spin speeds extract more water from clothes,  
reducing drying time and saving energy.  
Press the SPIN SPEED button until the desired speed  
is selected. Some fabrics, such as delicates, require  
a slower spin speed. To protect your clothing, not all  
spin speeds are available for all cycles.  
The Drain & Spin cycle:  
1. Press the POWER button to turn ON the washer.  
2. Press the SPIN SPEED button to select the desired  
spin speed. For drain only, select the  
NO SPIN option.  
3. Press the START/PAUSE button. The water will  
drain and the clothes will tumble before  
the spin routine begins.  
Warm rinses leave the clothes dryer than  
cold rinses, but will result in increased energy  
consumption and greater wrinkling of clothes.  
C
SOIL LEVEL  
•Cold rinses use less energy. The actual rinse  
temperature depends on the temperature of the  
cold water at the faucet.  
Adjusting the soil level setting will modify the cycle  
to allow more time for heavily soiled clothes or less  
time for lightly soiled clothes. Press the SOIL LEVEL  
button until the desired soil level is selected.  
D CHIME  
Press repeatedly to adjust the volume of the chime  
and keypad tones. You may turn the end-of-cycle  
chime and keypad tones ON or OFF with the CHIME  
button.

CARE AND CLEANING  
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read and follow this  
WARNING:  
entire Use & Care Guide, including the Important Safety Instructions, before operating this washer.  
• Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning can  
cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.  
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer. They will damage the finish.  
REGULAR CLEANING  
Cleaning the Exterior  
Proper care of your washer can extend its life. The outside of  
the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a mild,  
nonabrasive household detergent.  
Door Seal and Glass Cleaning  
Due to the location and nature of the door seal, some  
detergent and soil residue may build up on the door glass  
and seal. Periodic cleaning with a bleach solution can help  
remove buildup and stains, and can help sanitize the seal to  
prevent odors.  
Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft, damp cloth.  
IMPORTANT: Do not use solvents, cleaning alcohols, or simi-  
lar products. Never use steel wool or abrasive cleaners  
because they can damage the surface.  
NOTE: Wear rubber gloves and eye protection while  
performing the following procedure:  
Care and Cleaning of the Interior  
1
Dilute ¾ cup (177 ml) liquid chlorine bleach in 1  
gallon (3.8 L) of warm/hot water.  
Use a towel or soft cloth to wipe around the washer door  
opening, door seal, and door glass. These areas should be  
kept clean to ensure a watertight seal. Be sure to wipe  
under the inside rubber seal to remove any moisture or soil.  
Use this solution to wipe down  
all surfaces of the gasket and  
door glass to remove any  
deposits. Be sure to fold back the  
lip of the gasket to get under  
the inner edge where residue  
can build up.  
2
Always remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle  
is complete. Leaving damp items in the washer can cause  
wrinkling, color transfer, and odor. Run the CLEAN WASHER  
cycle once a month, or more often if needed, to remove  
detergent buildup and other residue.  
3
Dry the gasket and glass with a dry cloth.

exceed the maximum fill line and do not pour  
undiluted liquid bleach directly into the wash  
drum.)  
•Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper use  
of bleach.  
To avoid damaging the gasket, NEVER use undiluted  
bleach to clean the gasket.  
- If using powder cleaner  
Removing Mineral Buildup  
If you live in an area with hard water, mineral scale can form  
on internal components of the washer. Use of a water softener  
is recommended in areas with hard water.  
Use a descaler, such as Washer Magic®, to remove visible  
mineral buildup. After descaling, always run the CLEAN  
WASHER cycle before washing clothing. Do NOT use steel  
wool or abrasive cleaners.  
Remove the liquid detergent cup and add powder  
cleaner to the main wash compartment of the  
dispenser drawer.  
- If using tablet cleaner  
Add tablet cleaner directly to the wash drum.  
NOTE:  
•Do not add tablet cleaner to the dispenser drawer.  
•Do not add any laundry detergent or fabric softener to  
the drawer when using CLEAN WASHER.  
Turn ON the washer and press and hold the  
ACCELA-WASH button for three seconds, and the LED  
will blink. Selecting any other cycle after CLEAN  
WASHER has been selected will cause the CLEAN  
WASHER cycle to be cancelled.

Kenmore ConnectSystem  
If you experience problems with your washer, call  
Should you experience any problems with your  
washing machine, it has the capability of transmitting  
data via your telephone to the Kenmore Connect  
Team. This gives you the capability of speaking  
directly to our specially trained technicians. The  
technician records the data transmitted from your  
machine and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a  
fast and effective diagnosis.  
1-800-4-MY-HOME®. Only use the Kenmore Connect

Kenmore Connect Team. The transmission sounds that  
you will hear are normal and sound similar to a fax  
machine.  
Kenmore Connect cannot be activated unless your  
washing machine is turned on by pressing the POWER  
button. If your washing machine is unable to turn  
on, then troubleshooting must be done without using  
Kenmore Connect.  
Using the Kenmore ConnectSystem

and the display will count down the time. Once the countdown is over and the tones have  
stopped, resume your conversation with the technician, who will then be able to assist you in  
using the information transmitted for analysis.  
NOTE:  
•For best results, do not move the phone while the tones are being transmitted.  
•If the call center agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be  
asked to try again.
