WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Your new washer will operate dierently than your past agitator-style washer.

For best performance, it is recommended to load items in loose

heaps evenly around the washplate.

As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the

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.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be marked

“HE” or “High Efciency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing

with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will likely result in

longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result

in component malfunction and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew.

HE detergents should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce

the right amount of suds for the best performance. They should hold

soil in suspension so it is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all

detergents labeled as High Efciency are identical in formulation

and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or

homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds. Always

follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount

of detergent to use.

Normal Sounds You Can Expect

At dierent stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and

noises that are dierent 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

dierent 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.

Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.

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 eective

way to remove soils.

Cleaning with Less Water

A 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.

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 level for the load.

Initially the basket will start to spin prior to adding water, this is part of

the sensing process and is normal. This low-water wash method uses less

water and energy compared to a traditional agitator-style washer.
