Cleaning
with
Less Water
Traditional agitator-style
washing machine
Washer with low-water
washplate wash system
The most striking
difference
in your new washer
is the low-water
washplate
wash system. The washer
automatically
adjusts the
water level to the load size---no
water
level selector
is needed.
When
loading
the washer
with dirty
laundry,
fill it evenly
around
the basket wall.
Automatic
Load Size Sensing
Once you start the cycle, the lid will
lock, and the washer
will
begin the sensing process to determine
the correct
water
[eve[ for
the load. This may take several
minutes
before water is added. YOu
will find a step-by-step
description
in the "Cycle
Status Lights"
section.
As the washer
dampens
and moves the load, the [eve[ of the
clothes
will settle in the basket. This is normal,
and does not
indicate
that more clothes
should
be added.
IMPORTANT:
You will
not see a washer
basket full of water
like
with your past agitator-style
washer.
Choosing
the Right Detergent
Use only High
Efficiency
detergents.
The package
will be
marked
"HE" or "High
Efficiency."
I_ow-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.
Use only
High Efficiency
(HE) detergent.
Concentrated
Cleaning
[.ow-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.
The washp[ate
moves the load while
water is added
in small
amounts
until the load is wet. This low-water
wash method
uses
less water and energy
compared
to a traditional
agitator-style
washer.

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
and whirring
sounds as the washp[ate
moves the load. And sometimes,
you may hear nothing
at all, as
the washer
determines
the correct
water
[eve[ for your load or
allows
time for clothes
to soak.
