This washer has a specially designed valve that closes during the wash portion of the cycle
so that 100% of the water and detergent mixture is used on the load. The Efficient Detergent
System ensures that no water or detergent is wasted.

Starting Your Washer

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
The following is a guide to using your washer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual
for more detailed information.
Do not store laundry products on the top surface of this washer. Vibration is normal during
operation.
Dynamic Off-Balance Detection
This washer uses two sensors to detect load size and the amount of off-balance within the
load. The suspension system and controls are specially designed to redistribute the load
automatically.

WASHER USE

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked
"HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash system, along with less water, will create too much
sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer
errors, 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. Remember, concentrated detergents such as 2x or higher will use
less detergent based on load size.
First Wash Cycle Without Laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during the final installation step,
choose the Normal/Casual cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency
detergent. Use 1 / the manufacturer's recommended amount for a medium-size load. This
2
initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.
For All Wash Cycles
1. Open the washer door by pulling on the handle. Sort laundry according to color and type
of fabric. Place a load of sorted clothes in the washer. Do not overload washer.
Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close easily.

Using the Proper Detergent

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
