Manual

CHOOSING THE RIGHT

DETERGENT

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked

“HE” or “High Efficiency.” 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 Efficiency 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. Do not go over the Max

Line on the dispenser. See Quick Start Guide for more

information.

WASHER MAINTENANCE AND

CARE

Water Inlet Hoses

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose

failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges,

kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses:

n Mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent

marker.

n Check that the old washers are not stuck on the washer inlet

valves.

n Use new washers in the new inlet hoses to ensure a proper

seal.

NOTE: This washer may not include inlet hoses. See the

Installation Instructions for more information.

Washer Care

Recommendations to help keep your washer

clean and performing at its best

1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE

detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of

HE detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended

amount because that may increase the rate at which

detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer,

which in turn may result in undesirable odor.

2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not

exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better job

of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent

accumulate.

3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry

out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing

residue.

Cleaning your top-loading washer

Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine

cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer

Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum,

once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs

sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may

otherwise accumulate in your washer.

Cleaning the inside of the washer

To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions

provided above and use this recommended monthly cleaning

procedure:

If your model does not have a “Clean Washer” cycle, refer to the

online Cycle Guide for the optimal cycle for cleaning the inside of

the washer. Use this cycle with affresh
