WASHER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All
follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or
Thissafety
is themessages
safety alertwillsymbol.
"WARNING." These words mean:
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

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.
- 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.
,,,See "Electrical Requirements" for grounding instructions.

FEATURES AND
BENEFITS
SENSOR
SMART
TM
Electronic
Controls
Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a

beginner or an expert.
Smart Dispensers
The smart dispensers make your washer truly automatic. This
washer provides a three-compartment
dispenser which includes
separate compartments for detergent, fabric softener, and
bleach. The dispenser has large pour zones, is self-cleaning, and
can be easily removed. Laundry products are diluted with fresh
water and added to the load at the proper time in the wash cycle.
Auto Water Level
Adjusting to the size of the load, this feature allows the washer to
use the minimal amount of water needed to clean and rinse the
clothes. With a low water level, you can obtain the same results
with smaller amounts of additives. Because only the required
amount of water is used, the washer saves energy, too.
CATALYST Cleaning Action with Direct Injection
A concentrated detergent solution is sprayed onto the clothes at
the beginning of the cycle to ensure that the detergent comes
into contact with the clothes as quickly as possible, removing
stains from your clothes without pre-treating.
Larger Load Size
Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items like
an average size sleeping bag. You are also able to wash more
clothes at one time, which means fewer loads. You can wash a
pillow or a large stuffed teddy bear.
Suspension
System
To reduce washer "walk" and "off-balance"
washer combines:
conditions, your new
2 Springs to isolate vibration
4 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement
Stainless Steel Drum

The Stainless Steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher
spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time.
10
High-Efficiency Wash System

Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with
fewer, larger loads, conserves resources and lowers your water
and energy bills too.
Spin Speeds
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the
cycle selected. This factory setting can be changed, however.
This washer offers up to four different spin speed choices.
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC)
ATC electronically senses and maintains a uniform water
temperature. ATC regulates incoming hot and cold water. The
ATC is automatically turned On when a cycle is selected.
Add A Garment
When lighted, the Normal/Casual, Heavy Duty, and Whitest
Whites cycles can be paused and the door unlocked so you can
add a garment that may have been forgotten when loading the
washer. The ADD A GARMENT status light will stay lit for the first
8 minutes of a cycle.
Adaptive Variable Speed Motor
The motor adapts to the load size and to the cycle selected to
give optimum cleaning, rinsing, and spinning conditions. The
motor can handle slow speeds needed for wool and delicate
items and is powerful enough to drive a large clothes load into a
900 rpm spin.
Dynamic Balance
A precision balancing system that allows the washer to reach
spin speeds of 900 rpm. The washer spins faster so that clothes
coming out of the washer will dry faster. In addition, if the
Dynamic Balance system detects off balance loads during
spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that they are evenly
balanced.

First Wash Cycle Without Laundry

Before washing clothes for the first time, choose NORMAL/
CASUAL cycle and run it without clothes. After installation, if a
complete cycle has not been run without clothes, use _/_the
normal recommended amount of powdered or liquid High
Efficiency (HE) detergent or _Athe normal recommended amount
of regular powdered or liquid detergent. This initial cycle serves
to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.
1. To load the washer
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.

When the wash cycle is complete, the CLOTHES CLEAN

status light glows, the door unlocks, and the wash load
can be removed from the washer. The washer powers
down automatically 5 minutes after the cycle is complete
and the CLOTHES CLEAN light goes off. To power down
the washer manually after the wash cycle is complete,

Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate

compartments for your laundry products--one
is for detergent,
one is for liquid chlorine bleach, and one is for liquid fabric
softener. Laundry products are diluted and dispensed
automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, making it
unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to
add them.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the
dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.
Do not put laundry additives directly into the wash tub. Always
use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.
Delaying a cycle: Use only powdered detergents. Powdered

detergents will remain in the dispenser until the cycle begins,
but liquid detergents may seep out of the compartment
during the delayed time.
Do not fill beyond the "MAX" level.
Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the
Main Wash compartment along with the same type of
detergent, liquid or powdered.
Liquid detergent: Put the SEPARATOR in the front position,
between the guides, as shown following. There will be no gap
between the bottom of the wash cycle detergent
compartment and the bottom of the separator.
Choosing the Right Detergent

For best washing performance, use a High Efficiency (HE), or
low-sudsing, detergent. Regular detergents may cause
oversudsing in the washer. If an HE detergent is unavailable, use
_/2the recommended amount of regular detergent.
SO
Most detergents formulated for hand-washing are not meant for

front-loading washers and may cause oversudsing. Start with 1/4
the recommended amount. If oversudsing occurs, try a detergent
formulated for high efficiency washers,

LAUNDRY TIPS
Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other

items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid
scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim
and ornaments.
Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.
Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.
Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.
Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.
Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.
Treat spots and stains.
Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best

results.
Sorting
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if

they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers
(towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.
Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from

non-colorfast items.

INSTRUCCIONES
IMPORTANTES
DE SEGURIDAD
ADVERTENCIA:
Para reducir el riesgo de incendio, choque electrico o lesiones a personas al usar su

lavadora, siga las precauciones basicas, incluyendo las siguientes:
[] Lea todas las instrucciones antes de usar la
lavadora.
[] No permita que los ni_os jueguen encima o dentro de

la lavadora. Es necesario una supervision cuidadosa
de los ni_os toda vez que se use la lavadora cerca de
ellos.
[] No lave articulos que hayan sido previamente

limpiados, lavados, remojados o humedecidos
con gasolina, solventes para lavar en seco, u
otras sustancias inflamables o explosivas ya
que estas emanan vapores que podrian
encenderse o causar una explosi6n.
[] Antes de porter HaHavadora fuera de servicio o

desecharHa, quiteHe Hapuerta o Hatapa.
[] No introduzca las manos en la lavadora si el tambor,
la tina, o el agitador estan funcionando.
[] No agregue gasolina, solventes para lavar en

seco, u otras sustancias inflamables o explosivas
al agua de lavado. Estas sustancias emanan
vapores que podrian encenderse o causar una
explosi6n.
[] En ciertas condiciones, puede generarse gas
hidr6geno en un sistema de agua caliente que no
se haya usado por dos semanas o un periodo
mayor. EL GAS HIDROGENO ES EXPLOSlVO.
Si no se ha usado el agua caliente durante dicho
periodo, antes de usar la lavadora, abra todos los
grifos de agua caliente y deje que corra el agua
por varios minutos. Esto liberara todo el gas
hidr6geno que se haya acumulado. Debido a la
inflamabilidad de dicho gas, no fume ni use una
llama abierta durante este lapso.
GUARDE
24
[] No instale ni almacene esta lavadora donde pudiese estar

sometida a la intemperie.
[] No trate de forzar los controles.
No repare ni cambie pieza alguna de la lavadora ni
intente realizar tarea alguna de servicio tecnico, excepto
cuando asi se le indique especfficamente en este manual
o en instrucciones de reparaci6n para el usuario publicadas, que usted entienda y para cuya ejecuci6n cuente
con la habilidad necesaria.

Abra los grifos del agua y revise si hay filtraciones de agua.

NOTA: Reemplace las mangueras de entrada despu_s de
cinco a_os de uso para reducir el riesgo de que fallen. Para
consulta en el future, anote en las mangueras la fecha de
instalaci6n o la fecha de reposici6n de las mismas.
Inspeccione peri6dicamente y reemplace las mangueras si
aparecen bultos, torceduras, cortaduras, desgaste o
filtraciones de agua.
La nivelaci6n apropiada de su lavadora evita el ruido excesivo y

la vibraci6n.
1.
Revise si la lavadora esta nivelada colocando un nivel en el

borde superior de la lavadora, primero de lade a lado, luego
de frente hacia atras.
El tendido apropiado de la manguera de desagQe protege sus

pisos contra da_os ocasionados por filtraciones de agua. Lea y
siga estas instrucciones con cuidado.
La manguera de desagQe esta conectada
con su lavadora.
Si la lavadora esta contra la pared, mueva la lavadora
ligeramente hacia afuera antes de inclinarla hacia atras. Si la
lavadora no esta nivelada, primero apuntale la parte frontal
con un bloque de madera (2 x 4 pulg.) y regule las patas
segQn sea necesario, despues apuntale la parte de atras y
regule las patas segQn sea necesario. Repita este paso hasta
que la lavadora quede nivelada.
Una vez que la lavadora este nivelada, use una Ilave de boca
de % de pulg. (17 mm) para apretar las tuercas de las patas
contra el gabinete de la lavadora.
Para evitar que el agua de desagQe vuelva a su lavadora:
No enderece la manguera de desagQe, y no fuerce el exceso

de la manguera de desagQe dentro del tubo vertical. La
manguera debe quedar asegurada pero Io suficientemente
floja que permita un espacio para el aire.
Se deben ajustar las cuatro patas. Si no se aprietan las

tuercas contra el gabinete de la lavadora, la lavadora podria
vibrar.
3.
Deslice la lavadora a su ubicaci6n final.
4.
Verifique el grado de nivelaci6n de la lavadora.
1.
Revise los requisitos electricos. AsegQrese de contar con la

fuente de electricidad correcta y el metodo recomendado de
conexi6n a tierra. (Yea "Requisitos electricos.')
2.
Cerci6rese de que todas las piezas esten instaladas. Si hay

alguna pieza extra, vuelva a revisar todos los pasos para ver
cual se omiti6.
3.
Cerci6rese de tener todas las herramientas.
4.
Deshagase o recicle todos los materiales de embalaje.
5.
Cerci6rese de que los grifos del agua esten abiertos.
No tienda el exceso de la manguera en el fondo del lavadero.
Desagiie pot el piso

Quizgls necesite piezas adicionales. (Vea desagQe per el piso en
la secci6n "Piezas alternativas.")
1.
Coloque el cable el@ctrico encima de la lavadora.
2.
Asegure la manguera de desagQe a la pata del lavadero o al

tube vertical utilizando el fleje rebordeado que viene con la
lavadora. (Vea las ilustraciones 1 y 2.)
Si los grifos de suministro de la lavadora y el tubo vertical de

desagQe estan empotrados (vea la ilustraci6n 3), ponga el
extremo en forma de gancho de la manguera de desagQe en
el tubo vertical. Enrolle el fleje rebordeado con firmeza
alrededor de las mangueras de entrada del agua y de la
manguera de desagQe.
No fuerce el exceso de la manguera de desagQe dentro del tubo
vertical.
