1. Check the electrical requirements.
Be sure that you have the
correct electrical supply and the recommended

2. Be sure all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, go
back through the steps to see which step was skipped.
3. Be sure you have all of your tools.
4. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
5. Be sure the water faucets are on.
6. Check for leaks around faucets and inlet hoses.

Read "Washer Use."
To test and to clean your washer, measure 1/2 the
manufacturer's
recommended
amount of powdered or liquid
High Efficiency (HE) detergent for a medium size load. Pour
the detergent into the detergent dispenser. Select NORMAL/
CASUAL, and then select START. Allow the washer to
complete one whole cycle.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
SENSOR SMART
TM
Electronic Controls
Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a
beginner or an expert.
Detergent
Advantage
System Dispenser
The four compartments
in the dispenser allow loading of all
laundry additives before the washer is started. The additives will
be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for
high-performance
cleaning. TIMED BLEACH
TM
release is
included in the detergent advantage system. The detergent is
added at the beginning of the cycle, and the bleach is added
after the enzymes have had a chance to do their cleaning. The
fabric softener is dispensed
in the rinse cycle. The Detergent
Advantage System Dispenser tray is easily removed for cleaning.
Auto Water Level
Adjusting to the size of the load, this feature allows the washer to
use the minimal amount of water needed to clean and rinse the
clothes. With a low water level, you can obtain the same results
with smaller amounts of additives. Because only the required
amount of water is used, the washer saves energy, too.
Larger Load Size
Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such
as an average size sleeping bag. You are also able to wash more
clothes at one time, which means fewer loads. You can wash a
pillow or a large stuffed teddy bear.
Suspension
System
To reduce washer "walk" and "off-balance"
conditions, your new
washer combines:
•
2 Springs to isolate vibration
•
4 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement
Stainless
Steel Drum
The stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher
spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time.
Adaptive Variable Speed Motor
The motor adapts to the load size and to the cycle selected to
give the optimum cleaning, rinsing, and spinning conditions.
The
motor can handle slow speeds needed for washable wool and
delicate items and is powerful enough to drive a large clothes
load into a 1,300 rpm spin.
High-Efficiency
Wash System
Your new front-loading,
high-efficiency
washer saves time with
fewer, larger loads, conserves resources and lowers your water
and energy bills too.
Spin Speeds
This washer automatically
selects the spin speed based on the
cycle selected. This factory setting can be changed, however.
This washer offers up to six different spin speed choices.
Thermal Optimizer
The heating system ensures that the wash water is heated to the
preset temperature for Heavy Duty, Whitest Whites, Sanitary, and the
Stain Treat option. It also provides "stepped cleaning" when using
the sanitary cycle or the stain treat option. "Stepped cleaning" starts
the wash cycle with warm water to remove stains (such as blood or
grass). The water continues heating in order to remove stains such
as dirty mechanical oil. During the sanitary cycle, the thermal
optimizer can heat the water to temperatures that will destroy
99.999% of three common types of bacteria found in soiled laundry.
Add A Garment
When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle the
Add A Garment status light will glow for the first 8 minutes. This
washer allows an 8-minute period in which forgotten garments
may be added to a load.
CATALYST _ Cleaning Action with Direct Injection
A concentrated
detergent solution is sprayed onto the clothes at
the beginning of the cycle to ensure that the detergent comes
into contact with the clothes as quickly as quickly as possible,
helping to remove stains from your clothes without pretreating.
Dynamic
Balance
A precision balancing system that allows the washer to reach spin
speeds of up to 1,300 rpm. The washer spins faster so that clothes
coming out of the washer will dry faster. In addition, if the Dynamic
Balance system detects off balance loads during spinning, it
redistributes the clothes so that they are evenly balanced.
