When loading the washer with dirty laundry, ll 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 level
for the load. This may take several minutes before water is
added. You will nd a step-by-step description in the “Cycle
Status Lights” section.
You will hear the motor turn the basket in short pulses to
thoroughly wet the load.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Eciency detergents. The package will be marked
“HE” or “High Eciency.” 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 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.
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 and whirring sounds as the agitator
moves the load. 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 Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Concentrated Cleaning
Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. The lower
water level combined with HE detergent during the rst stage
of the wash cycle delivers detergent directly to the soils.
Cleaning with Less Energy
Your new Energy Star
®
qualied washer saves energy by using
lower water levels and reduced wash temperatures, as compared
to traditional top-load washers. During the rst stage of the wash
cycle, it is normal for some of the load to be above the water
line. The second stage adds the correct amount of water based
on the load size. This washer automatically adjusts the water
level to the load size - no water level selector is needed.
