We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

"WARNING." These words mean:

DANGER

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the washer.
- Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
- Do not add gasoline, dry-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 produced 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 washing machine, 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. SAVE THIS

• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.
  Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door or lid.
• Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is moving.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.
  Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

NOTE: Fill dispenser with only liquid bleach.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates excessive sudcing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure 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. They should hold soil in suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled as High Efficiency are identical in formulation and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
Do not dry items if stains remain after washing; heat can set stains into fabric.
Treat stains promptly.
Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings, and sashes. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during washing.

Helpful Tips:

For best performance, use HE liquid detergent when washing bulky items.
Use mesh bags to help avoid tangling when washing delicate or small items.
Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions to avoid damage to your items.

2. Add laundry products

IMPORTANT: If you are using the Compact Dryer Stack Stand (Part Number 49971), pull the washer forward before lifting the washer lid. Do not permanently install the washer in the Compact Dryer Stack Stand - doing so will prevent you from raising the washer lid.

If you are using liquid laundry detergent, single-dose laundry packets, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals, add to the wash basket prior to adding laundry.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer's instructions.

3. Load laundry into washer

For best performance, load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Try mixing different-sized items to reduce tangling.

IMPORTANT: Items need to move

Max load level

freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

NOTE: The maximum volume is about 1.52 cubic ft. (4.4 lb max. load size per cubic ft.).

Using Laundry Product Dispensers

NOTE: Do not add liquid laundry detergent, single-dose laundry packets, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals to dispensers. They will not dispense correctly. Add to the basket prior to adding laundry.

4. Add powdered HE detergent

IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates excessive sudcing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure 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. They should hold soil in suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled as High Efficiency are identical in formulation and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

NOTES:

Use only powdered HE detergent in the detergent dispenser. Add liquid HE detergent or single-dose packets to the basket prior to adding laundry.
See "Washer Maintenance" for information on recommended method of cleaning washer dispensers.

5. Add liquid chlorine bleach to dispenser

Bleach will be dispensed automatically during the wash part of the cycle. Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (250~mL) .Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

6. Add liquid fabric softener

Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into dispenser; always follow manufacturer's directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Fabric softener is added during rinse.

IMPORTANT: Do not overfill or dilute. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer. It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser at the end of a cycle.

NOTE: The fabric softener dispenser rotates around the wash basket and may not be in the same spot each time.

7. Touch POWER to turn on washer

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and Performing at Its Best

1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE detergent manufacturer's instructions regarding the amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended amount because that may increase the rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer which, in turn, may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not exclusively cold water washes) because they do a better job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing residue.

Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer

Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Clean Washer cycle should be performed, at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer.

Cleaning the Inside of the Washer

To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions provided above and use this recommended monthly cleaning procedure:

Clean Washer Cycle

This washer has a special cycle that uses higher water volumes in combination with a Washer Cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach to clean the inside of the washer.

Begin procedure

1. Washer Cleaner Cycle Procedure (Recommended for Best Performance):

a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items.
b. Place a Washer Cleaner tablet in the bottom of the washer basket.
c. Do not place a Washer Cleaner tablet in the detergent dispenser.
d. Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the washer when following this procedure.
e. Close the washer lid.
f. Select the Clean Washer cycle.
g. Press START/PAUSE to begin the cycle. The Clean Washer Cycle Operation is described below.

NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must be interrupted, press POWER. (For models with no Power/Cancel button, press and hold START/PAUSE for 3 seconds). After the Clean Washer cycle has stopped, run a Rinse cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.

Washer care (cont.)

2. Chlorine Bleach Procedure (Alternative):

a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items.
b. Add 1 cup (236~mL) of liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.

NOTE: Use of more liquid chlorine bleach than is recommended above could cause washer damage over time.

c. Close the washer lid.
d. Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the washer when following this procedure.
e. Select the Clean Washer cycle.
f. Press START/PAUSE to begin the cycle. The Clean Washer Cycle Operation is described below.

NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must be interrupted, press POWER. (For models with no Power button, press and hold START/PAUSE for 3 seconds). After the Clean Washer cycle has stopped, run a Rinse cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.

Description of Clean Washer Cycle Operation:

1. This cycle will fill to a water level higher than in normal wash cycles to provide rinsing at a level above the water line for normal wash cycle.
2. During this cycle, there will be some agitation and spinning to increase the removal of soils.

After this cycle is complete, leave the lid open to allow for better ventilation and drying of the washer interior.

Cleaning the Dispensers

After a period of using your washer, you may find some residue buildup in the washer's dispensers. To remove residue from the dispensers, wipe them with a damp cloth and towel dry. Do not attempt to remove the dispensers or trim for cleaning. The dispensers and trim are not removable. If your model has a dispenser drawer, however, remove the drawer and clean it before or after you run the Clean Washer cycle. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.

Cleaning the Outside of the Washer

Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any spills. Use only mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning external washer surfaces.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer's finish, do not use abrasive products.

Washer care (cont.)

Cleaning The Lint Filter

Clean filter after every load.

1. Press down, then out to remove the lint filter.

1. Open the lint filter and clean with water.

1. Insert the lint filter bottom first, then press down and in to replace the filter.

Transporting your washer

1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
2. If washer will be moved during freezing weather, follow WINTER STORAGE CARE directions before moving.
3. Disconnect drain hose from drain system and from back of washer.
4. Unplug power cord.
5. Place inlet hoses and drain hose inside washer drum.
6. Bundle power cord with a rubber band or cable tie to keep it from hanging onto the ground.

Non-use and vacation care

Operate your washer only when you are home. If moving, or not using your washer for a period of time, follow these steps:

1. Unplug or disconnect power to washer.
2. Turn off water supply to washer to avoid flooding due to water pressure surges.
3. Clean the dispensers. See "Cleaning the Dispensers."

Winter storage care

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, install and store washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in hoses, freezing can damage washer. If storing or moving during freezing weather, winterize your washer.

To winterize washer:

1. Shut off both water faucets; disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
2. Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in washer drum and run washer on Normal cycle for about 2 minutes to mix antifreeze and remaining water.
3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Vibration or Off-Balance
Vibration, rocking, or "walking"	Feet may not be in contact with the floor and locked.	Front and rear feet or wheels must be in firm contact with floor and washer must be level to operate properly.
	Washer may not be level. Check floor	or flexing or sagging. If flooring is uneven, a 3/4"(19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.
		See "Level the Washer" in the Installation Instructions.
Vibration during spinning or washer stopped	Load could be unbalanced. Load items	in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Adding wet items to washer or adding more water to basket could unbalance washer.
		Avoid washing single items. Balance a single item such as a rug or jeans jacket with a few extra items. Redistribute the load, close the lid, and press START/PAUSE.
		Item or load not suitable for selected cycle. See "Cycle Guide" and "Using Your Washer."
Noises
Clicking or metallic noises	Objects may be caught in washer drain system.	Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins could fall between basket and tub or may block pump. It may be necessary to call for service to remove items.
		It is normal to hear metal items on clothing such as metal snaps, buckles, or zippers touch against the stainless steel basket.
Gurgling or humming Washer	may be draining water. It is normal	to hear the pump making a continuous humming sound with periodic gurgling or surging as final amounts of water are removed during the spin/drain cycles.
Humming Load sensing	may be occurring. You may hear the hum of the sensing spins after you have started the washer. This is normal.
Whirring	Basket may be slowing down.	You may hear the whirring sound of the basket slowing down. This is normal.
Water Leaks
Check the following for proper installation:	Washer not level. Water may splash off	basket if washer is not level.
	Fill hoses not attached tightly. Tighten f	II-hose connection.
	Fill hose washers. Make sure fill hose f	t washers are properly seated.
	Drain hose connection.	Properly secure drain hose to drainpipe or laundry tub.
		Do not place tape over drain opening.
	Check household plumbing for leaks or clogged sink or drain.	Water can back up out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check all household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water pipes, and faucets).
	Washer not loaded as recommended.	An unbalanced load can cause basket to be out of alignment and cause water to splash off tub. See "Using Your Washer" for loading instructions.
Washer not performing as expected
Not enough water in washer	Load not completely covered in water.	This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load will not be completely underwater. The washer senses load sizes and adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. IMPORTANT: Do not add more water to washer. Adding water lifts the items off the washplate, resulting in less effective cleaning.
		Run Clean Washer cycle to optimize the water level and wash performance.
