together. (See page 8.)
2. Prepare items for washing. (See page 8.)
3. Pretreat stains and heavy soil. (See page 9.)
4. Add laundry load to the washer. (See page 9.)

Normal Operating Sounds

You may or may not hear the following sounds
from your new washer:
A. DRAIN HOSE The washer has a fl exible drain
hose to carry water from the washer to the
stand pipe of your home. You will hear water
fl owing into your stand pipe. This is a normal
part of the operation of the washer.
B. WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters
the dispenser system, it is common to hear a
water fl owing sound. This normal sound will
vary slightly based on the water pressure in
your home.
C. DOOR LOCK Your washer is equipped with a
door lock with an electric solenoid. There will be a
clicking sound as the washer door is being locked
or unlocked.
D. 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.
E. 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.
5. Add laundry products to the dispenser. (See
page 10-11.)
6. Select the appropriate cycle and settings for the
load. (See page 12.)
7. Start the washer. (See page 12.)
