WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LiD?
Your new washer
will operate
differently
than your past agitator-style
washer.
Traditional
agitator-style
washer
Washer
with low=water
wash system
The washer
automatically
adjusts
the water
level to the load
size--no
water
level selector
is needed.
Automatic
Load Size Sensing
Once you start the cycle, the washer
will fill to the water
level.
When
the washer
is done
filling,
it will start to agitate
after
it
determines
the correct
water
level for the load.
This low-water
wash method
uses less water
and energy
compared
to a traditional
agitator-style
washer.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency
detergents.
The package
will be
marked
"HE" or "High
Efficiency."
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 and do not go over the Max
line on the dispenser.
See
"Using
Laundry
Product
Dispensers"
for more information.
Use only High Ef_ciency (HE) detergent.
For best performance,
it is recommended
to load
items in loose
heaps evenly
around
the washplate.
improved
Cleaning
Low-water
cleaning
means concentrated
cleaning.
Rather
than diluting
detergent
as done
in an agitator-style
washer,
this washer
delivers
the detergent
directly
to the soils. This low
water
wash also allows
the clothing
to move in a more effective
way to remove
soils.
Normal
Sounds You Can Expect
At different
stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and
noises that are different
from those of your previous
washer.
For
example,
you may hear a clicking
and hum at the beginning
of
the cycle, as the lid lock goes through
a self-test.
There will be
different
kinds of humming
sounds as the washplate
moves the
load and as basket
is slowing
down to stop. 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.
As the washer
dampens
and moves the load, the level of the
items will settle in the basket.
This is normal,
and does not
indicate
that more items should
be added.
IMPORTANT:
[]
You will not see a washer
basket
full of water
as with your
past agitator-style
washer.
It is normal
for some of the load to
be above
the water
line.
[]
After the washer
basket fills to the selected
water
level, the lid
must be closed
before the wash cycle can start.
If filling
stops
with the lid open,
close lid and press START button.
