WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LiD?
Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
Cleaning with Less Water
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.

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.
[] The lid must be closed before the washer basket fills with
water and for wash cycle to start. If lid is open and filling
stops, close lid and press START button to complete cycle.
