IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this washer, comply with the basic
warnings listed below. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow these Important Safety Instructions:
PREVENT FIRE
PROTECT CHILDREN
• Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned
in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning sol-
vents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. Do not store
these items on or near the washer. These substances
give off vapors or chemical reactions that could ignite
or explode.
• Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the
washer. These substances give off vapors that could
ignite the materials.
• Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced in a hot water system that has not been used
for 2 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. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer
is used near children. As children grow, teach them the
proper, safe use of all appliances.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing ma-
terials after the washer is unpacked. Children might use
them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads
or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
• Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To pre-
vent personal injury, observe all warnings on product
labels.
• Before the washer is removed from service or dis-
carded, remove the washer door to prevent accidental
entrapment.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
serious personal injuries.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to
the rubber or plastic parts of the washer.
• Do not continue to use the washer if you hear squeak-
ing, grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This
could be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to
fire or serious injury. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PREVENT INJURY
PREVENT INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE
• To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during
operation, the washer must be installed and electrically
grounded by a qualified service person in accordance
with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in
the washer for installer’s reference. Refer to INSTAL-
LATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding
procedures. If the washer is moved to a new location,
have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service
person.
• To prevent personal injury or damage to the washer,
the electrical power cord must be plugged into a
properly grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet. The
third grounding prong must never be removed. Never
ground the washer to a gas pipe. Do not use an exten-
sion cord or an adaptor plug.
To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the
washer:
• All repairs and servicing must be performed by an au-
thorized servicer unless specifically recommended in this
Use & Care Guide. Use only authorized factory parts.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Do not install on carpet. Install washer on a solid floor.
It may be necessary to reinforce the floor to prevent
vibration or movement.
• Do not sit on, step on or stand on the washer. Do not
rest heavy loads on top. The washer is not meant to
support weight.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect this
appliance from the power supply before attempting
any user maintenance. Canceling a cycle or turning the
power off at the console does not disconnect this appli-
ance from the power supply.
• Follow package directions when using laundry products.
Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas - resulting
in serious injury or death.
• Do not combine laundry products for use in same load
unless specified on the label.
• To prevent injury, do not reach into the washer while
parts are moving. Before loading, unloading or add-
ing items, press cancel button to stop the cycle. Allow
the wash tub drum to coast to a complete stop before
reaching inside.
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such
as vinegar.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds from your
new washer:
A
A. DRAIN HOSE The washer has a flexible drain hose
to carry water from the washer to the stand pipe of
your home. You will hear water flowing into your stand
pipe. This is a normal part of the operation of the
washer.
B
B. WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters
the dispenser system, it is common to hear a water
flowing sound. This normal sound will vary slightly
based on the water pressure in your home.
C. DRAIN PUMP Your washer is equipped with a high
velocity drain pump. It is normal to hear humming and
gurgling sounds as water is pumped from the washer.
Both of these sounds are normal and indicate that
your pump is functioning correctly.
D
D. HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used to
drive the drum to high spin speeds to extract water
from your load. You will hear a sound associated with
these higher spin speeds. This sound is normal and
will vary slightly as the spin speed varies with load size
and cycle selected.
C
CAUTION
Abnormal, on-going sounds may be an indication of a
pending washer failure and should be investigated by a
qualified technician.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating Your Washer
• Place delicate and small items such as bras, hosiery
and baby socks in a mesh bag.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in
this Use and Care Guide before operating your washer.
1
Sort laundry into loads that can
be washed together.
(Mesh bag not included.)
Pretreat stains and heavy soil.

T
• See Stain Removal Guide in this guide for
U
safe, successful
stain removal
instructions.
• Sort items
by recom-
mended cycle
and water temperature.
• Separate white, light and colorfast items from dark
and non-colorfast items.
• Separate items that shed lint from items that
attract lint. Casual, synthetic, knit, and corduroy
items will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and che-
nille bedspreads.
4
Add laundry load to washer.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled
items.
• Separate lacy, sheer, loosely knit, or delicate items
from durable items.
• Do not machine wash items containing fiberglass.
Small particles of fiberglass left in the drum may
transfer to fabrics in other loads and cause skin
irritation.
2
Prepare items for washing.
• Empty pockets.
• Combine large and small items in a load.
• Load large items first. Large items should not be
more than half the total wash load.
• Washing single items such as a sweater, towel or
jeans is inefficient and may cause an out-of-bal-
ance load. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance
the load.
• Wash a single heavy item such as a king-sized
comforter, bedspread or sleeping bag separately.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the items
should not be tightly packed. The door should close
easily.
• Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach
towels.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes,
and remove non-washable trims and ornaments.
• Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage
during washing.
• Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.

ber labeled “LIQUID BLEACH” and marked with this
symbol
.
• Fill to the MIN line for small loads or the MAX line
for large loads.
• DO NOT fill above the maximum fill line.
IMPORTANT
To prevent fabric damage, do not overfill the “LIQUID
BLEACH” chamber or pour liquid chlorine bleach
directly onto the load.
Liquid or Powder Detergent
• Add color-safe bleach with the detergent.
• Use the cap or scoop provided by the detergent
manufacturer to measure the amount recommended.
• Detergent dosage may need to be adjusted for
water temperature, water hardness, load size and
soil level.
Liquid Fabric Softener
• If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid
fabric softener into the chamber labeled “FABRIC
SOFTENER” and marked with this symbol
.
• Fill to the MIN line for small loads or the MAX line
for large loads.
• DO NOT fill above the maximum fill line.
Other Wash Products
Color-safe bleach, water conditioner, detergent booster
and enzyme products may be added with the deter-
gent. Put liquid products with liquid detergent in the
“DETERGENT WASH” chamber or powder products with
powder detergent in the “DETERGENT WASH” chamber.
NOTE
To prevent staining, do not overfill the “Fabric
Softener” chamber or pour liquid fabric softener
directly on the wash load.

CARE AND CLEANING
Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventive)
To help prevent odors, mold or mildew, leave the door
open for a few hours after use or whenever the washer
is not in use.
CAUTION
ENTRAPMENT and TIP-OVER HAZARD
Do not leave the door open if there are small children
or pets present. An open door could entice children to
hang on the door or crawl inside the washer. If there
are no small children present, you may leave the door
ajar to prevent odor build up.
TO REFRESH OR CLEAN INSIDE OF WASHER
To clean and freshen the washer, perform the clean
washer cycle. For best results use the clean washer
cycle once a month. To begin the cycle, press clean
washer and then START when prompted during
automated reminder mode or manually select the cycle
by following these directions:
Rotate cycle knob to the cycle position indicated to the
right. Then press the clean washer option button. The
LCD screen will display “SYSTEM CLEAN”.
Turn cycle selector
to this position.
IMPORTANT
Items left in washer while performing the clean
washer cycle will cause a severe out-of-balance
situation that could damage the washing machine.
REMOVE ALL ITEMS FROM WASH DRUM before
filling the detergent chamber with one (1) cup of liquid
chlorine bleach OR one (1) pouch of TIDE® WASHING
MACHINE CLEANER. DO NOT use both. Press START
to begin.
For best results
Immediately follow up with a spin only cycle.
Select fresh rinse on max spin speed with no
detergent or bleach to help clear any residual
bleach left after the clean washer cycle.
Press clean washer button to
enter clean washer cycle.
WARNING
NOTE
HARMFUL VAPOR HAZARD
Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach with other
household chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust
removers, acid or products containing ammonia. These
mixtures can produce dangerous fumes which can
cause serious injury or death.
If the clean washer cycle is cancelled or paused
during the cycle, the washer will go through 2 rinse
cycles to clean the drum of any residual bleach before
unlocking the door.

dispenser drawer. Residue should be removed once or
twice a month.
• Remove the drawer by pulling the drawer out until it
stops.
• Reach back into the left rear corner of the drawer
cavity and press down firmly on the lock tab. Pull out
the drawer.
• Remove the insert from the bleach and fabric softener
compartments.
• Rinse the drawer and inserts with a combination of ¾
cup liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon hot tap water
to remove traces of accumulated powders and liquids.
Large amounts of fabric softener residue may indicate
improper dilution or more frequent cleaning is required.
Rinse well with tap water.
• To clean the drawer opening, use a small brush to
clean the recess. Remove all residue from the upper
and lower parts of the recess.
• Replace the insert by pressing it in place until you hear
a slight click. Return the dispenser drawer.
Daily Preventive Maintenance
• Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle
ends. Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and odors may
develop in items left in the washer.

leave the door ajar when the washer is not in use.
• Leave the dispenser drawer open slightly at the end of
the wash day.
• Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket,
and door glass. These areas should always be clean to
ensure a water tight seal.
• When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty
residue may remain on the drum. Remove this by wip-
ing the drum with a nonabrasive household cleanser.
Rinse thoroughly with water.
• Periodically, wipe dry the folds in the bottom of the
flexible gasket to remove lint and other debris.

CARE AND CLEANING
Inside Cleaning (Aggressive)
In cases where the clean washer cycle along with care
and cleaning of rubber gasket folds isn’t done, and severe
odor, mold, mildew, or residue buildup have developed,
follow the below cleaning procedure to help alleviate the
problem.
CLEANING PROCEDURE - Washer Drum
Ensure the wash tub is empty (or no clothes load).
Open the detergent drawer and pour eight (8) cups of
bleach into the detergent compartment. Select clean
washer cycle as described previously in Inside Routine
Cleaning (Preventive).
Upon cycle completion inspect the interior of the
washer to see if the odor/residue has been eliminated.
If any additional cleaning is required, repeat the above
procedure. This may take several cycles depending on
the severity of the odor/residue. You may observe some
remaining discoloration due to the long term effects of
this residue.
For especially contaminated areas visible inside the drum
(including the front rubber seal), these areas might be
more effectively cleaned by spraying a Bleach Cleaner on
a scrub brush, soft sponge, or towel and scrubbing.
Turn cycle selector
to this position.
IMPORTANT
Always wear rubber or latex gloves and protect floor
and clothing from damage.
If odor is still left after bleach cycle(s) and bleach cleaner,
open the detergent drawer and pour one (1) pouch
of TIDE® WASHING MACHINE CLEANER in detergent
drawer. Select clean washer cycle as above and start
the washer.
For best results
Immediately follow up with a spin only cycle.
Select fresh rinse on max spin speed with no
detergent or bleach to help clear any residual
bleach left after the clean washer cycle.
Press clean washer button to
enter clean washer cycle.
IMPORTANT
See Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventive) for
future cleaning maintenance which is necessary to
avoid repeating issues.
