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.

This is the safety alert symbol.

"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 what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

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

_ i _ y_ !_G

_ _ _ _ _ _ _

Your new washer works differently than most washers that you are accustomed to. The most striking difference is the washer does not have an agitator. It uses the innovative CALYPSO

TM wash motion. The Wash Plate, at the bottom of the basket, creates a motion that lifts, rolls and bounces your wash load through a mixture of water and detergent that is continuously reapplied to the load to force out stains and soils.

SENSOR SMART" Electronic

Controls

SENSOR SMART electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an "expert."

TRIPLE SMART

TM

Dispensers

The TRIPLE SMART dispensers make your washer truly automatic.

It is unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to add detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.

Laundry products are diluted with fresh water and added to the load at the proper time in the wash cycle.

Auto Water Level

This washer senses load size and composition, then automatically adjusts water level for best cleaning and rinsing performance.

It eliminates the guess work. The water level is just right for every wash load size.

Larger Load Size

Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such as a sleeping bag. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads. The KING SIZF MCapacity Plus allows for loads such as king size bedding. You can wash a pillow or a large stuffed teddy bear.

ULTRA QUIET PAK

TM

The ULTRA QUIET PAK reduces water sounds and ringing noises. The cabinet and base are insulated with sounddampening materials. An additional tub wrap is added for superior vibration and sound-dampening.

Suspension System

To reduce washer "walk" and "out of balance" conditions, your new washer combines:

• 4 Spring damper struts to isolate vibration

• 2 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement

• Balance ring at the top of the wash basket to minimize vibration

Stainless

Steel Basket

The Stainless Steel basket eliminates corrosion and enables higher spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time.

High-Efficiency

Wash System

Your new top loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with fewer, larger loads, conserves resources and lowers your water and energy bills too.

Force Filter Wash/Rinse

System

This washer filters 100% of the wash and rinse water. The water is filtered then re-circulated.

The force filter traps sand and dirt, flushing it down the drain, so it is not re-deposited on the clean clothes.

The CALYPSO

TM

wash motion

Is easier to load (since there is no agitator.)

• Is gentler on clothes. There is less wear and tear on your clothes.

• Fluffs the load after the final spin to make unloading easier.

10

WASHER USE

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

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 starting your washer. Periodic references to other sections of this manual provide more detailed information.

1.

Place a load of sorted clothes into the washer. Load to a level shown below. (See "Loading.")

2.

Pour measured powdered or liquid detergent into the detergent dispenser.

d

For best performance use with High Efficiency detergents.

The package for this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." The new wash action of the CALYPSO

TM system along with less water, could create too much sudsing with a regular detergent. HE detergents such as TIDEC_HEare 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.

If High Efficiency detergent is not available, use a reduced amount of regular laundry detergent.

NOTE: You can add color-safe bleach (liquid or powdered) to this dispenser as well.

3.

Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach into the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser, if needed. Bleach is diluted and automatically dispensed at the proper time during the wash cycle.

• Do not overfill. Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Use less with a smaller load size.

• Follow the manufacturer s directions for safe use.

• To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer basket.

NOTE: Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.

11

4.

Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the fabric softener dispenser, if desired.

Use these pads to choose the right wash cycle for the type of fabrics you are washing.

SELIE_I"CYCLE

NORMAL

Use this cycle to get 12 to 16 minutes of wash time for normally soiled cottons and linens. Cycle combines medium speed wash action and high spin speed. The preset cycle wash time is 14 minutes. If the Normal load size is small, 6 items or less, it is recommended that the Jeans/Colors cycle be used.

JEANS/COLORS

Use this cycle to get 14 to 18 minutes of wash time for dark, colored items that may run or fade. Cycle combines low/medium speed wash action and high speed final spin. The preset cycle wash time is 16 minutes.

WHITEST WHITES

This cycle introduces liquid chlorine bleach to the load at the proper time for improved whitening of your heavily soiled white fabrics. Use this cycle to get 19 to 23 minutes of medium speed wash action and high speed final spin. For maximum soil and stain removal, liquid chlorine bleach must be used. The preset cycle wash time is 23 minutes. Stain Treat is the default option for this cycle, but it can be turned off. (See "Changing Cycles,

Options and Modifiers.")

DELICATE/CASUAL

Use this cycle to get 12 to 16 minutes of low speed wash action for no-iron fabrics and garments indicating "Gentle" cycle on the care label. Low/medium spin speed is used to reduce wrinkling.

The preset cycle wash time is 14 minutes.

BULKY ITEMS

Use this cycle to get 13 to 17 minutes of wash time for large items like blankets and comforters.

Cleaning starts with a spray of water and detergent mixture to thoroughly saturate your large load. This is followed by low/medium wash action and low/ medium spin speed to maintain load balance. The preset cycle wash time is 15 minutes.

ULTRA HANDWASH

Use this cycle to get 7 to 11 minutes of wash time for garments labeled "Hand Wash" and special care items. Gentle cleaning starts with a continuous spray of water and detergent mixture as the load is spun at extra-low speed. This lasts for about one minute and is followed by a brief period of extra-low wash action.

Low/medium spin speed helps reduce wrinkling. The preset cycle wash time is 7 minutes.

Garments are labeled "Hand Wash" because:

• The fiber construction may be sensitive to wash action.

• The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.

NOTE: Some "Hand Wash" items, particularly wool, naturally shrink when washed. Keep this in mind when you purchase items labeled "Hand Wash." Items that shrink should be dried flat.

When still wet, block these items by gently stretching to original measurements.

EXPRESS WASH

Use this cycle to get 7 to 11 minutes of wash time for small, lightly soiled loads that are needed in a hurry. Fast cleaning starts with a continuous spray of water and detergent mixture as the load is spun at extra-low speed, followed by a brief period of low/ medium speed wash action. High spin speed reduces drying time.

For the fastest results, select warm wash. The preset cycle wash time is 7 minutes.

WOOL/SILK

Use this cycle to get 6 to 10 minutes of wash time for washable items that are normally dry cleaned. Cycle combines extra-low speed spray cleaning and wash action to provide gentle care for delicate items, such as wool sweaters and silk blouses. Low spin speed helps garments maintain their shape. The preset cycle wash time is 6 minutes.

*Wash Time in minutes will appear in the display while making selections. The total cycle time will appear, including an

estimated time for drain and fill times, once START is pressed.

After you have loaded the washer, selected the cycle, options and modifiers and you have pressed START, your washer does the following:

Distributes the load

• Load is initially fluffed to distribute the load before water is added.

Fills

Water enters through the dispenser to mix with the detergent.

Water continues to be added until the load is soaked and just enough water is present to maintain the spray. This way of washing and rinsing uses less water and makes the detergent more effective in cleaning your clothes. As a result, you will only see a wet load and not a full tub of water, if you open the lid.

Washes

• As the washer continues to fill, a low speed spin begins and the detergent/water mixture is sprayed on to the load.

The spinning stops and the CALYPSO

TM wash motion begins, while the wash water continues to be sprayed on to the moving load. The length of wash depends on the cycle and wash time selected.

The CALYPSO

TM wash motion features five wash speeds in combination with low-speed spin sprays for a variety of fabric care needs.

Liquid chlorine bleach is dispensed in the last 2 to 3 minutes of the wash cycle to help ensure the best cleaning results.

The wash water is then drained and spun out before rinsing begins.

13

Rinses

Rinsing is accomplished in the same manner as washing.

Fresh water is added to a slow spinning load. Then the load moves through the spray rinses. The water is then drained away and the rinsing process is repeated. The number of rinses varies depending on the cycle.

• During the last rinse, fabric softener is dispensed into the bottom of the tub and applied to the load.

Final Spin

• The last of the rinse water is drained and the load is spun.

The amount of spinning depends on the cycle selected.

To make unloading easy the load is peeled off the sides of the basket by the CALYPSO

TM wash motion.

Normal Washer Sounds

As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not accustomed to. You may hear various sounds occurring during the washing, rinsing and spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing during the wash and rinse cycles.

These new sounds and pauses are part of normal washer operation.

(See "Troubleshooting.")

STAIN TREAT may be selected as an option with other cycles.

SATURATED SOAK

Use this option for set-in stains and soil that need extra time for removal. Soaking in this washer is different than in a conventional washer. The washer sprays the load with water and detergent for

4 minutes at extra low spin speed followed by a brief period of wash action at the speed of the selected cycle. Then another 4 minutes of spraying and extra low spinning occurs. The wash action then pauses for the detergent to work on the soils. The

SATURATED SOAK feature is followed by the selected cycle.

Using SATURATED SOAK will extend your wash cycle by 16 minutes.

STAIN TREAT

This option provides enhanced CATALYST_ Cleaning Action for tough stains. The HEAVY DUTY and WHITEST WHITES cycles automatically include STAIN TREAT for total wash times of 23 minutes.

NOTE: Deselecting STAIN TREAT from the HEAVY DUTY and

WHITEST WHITES cycles will decrease the total wash times to

19 minutes.

OPTIONS

Press RINSE/SPIN OPTIONS until the indicator light next to the desired setting glows.

2nd RINSE

Selecting this option provides a second rinse with the same water temperature as selected for the first rinse. A 2nd Rinse can be added to any wash cycle.

EXTENDED SPIN

This option adds an additional 3 minutes of spin to any cycle to reduce drying time and save energy. If you select EXTENDED

SPIN and do not select a wash cycle, you will get an 8 minute, high speed spin.

RINSE/SPIN

Use this option to get a combination of rinses and spins followed by a high-speed spin. The time display will include an estimate of how long it will take to fill and drain the washer. Fabric softener can be added to the Fabric Softener dispenser.

When to use Rinse/Spin:

• For loads that need rinsing only.

• For completing a cycle after the power has been off.

• To add fabric softener to load.

To use or change Rinse/Spin settings:

1.

Add fabric softener to the dispenser (if desired).

2.

Press the RINSE/SPIN OPTIONS control until the RINSE/

SPIN indicator light glows.

Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and save energy.

WASH/RINSE TEMP

Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are washing. Use the warmest water safe for fabrics. Follow garment label instructions.

Warm rinses leave the loads dryer than cold rinses. Warm rinses increase wrinkling.

In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.
