5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may
be produced in a hot water system that has
not been used for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot
water system has not been used for such a
period, before using a washing machine or
combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot
water faucets and let the water flow from
each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. THE GAS IS
FLAMMABLE. DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN
OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.
6. Close supervision of children is necessary
when the washer is used near children. This is a
safety rule for all appliances.
7. Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the lid to the washing
compartment.
15. Install the washer according to the
Installation Instructions. All connections for
water, drain, electrical power and grounding
must comply with local codes and be made by
licensed personnel when required. Do not do it
yourself unless you know how!
16. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes which have
traces of any flammable substances such as
vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, flammable
chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything containing
wax or chemicals such as in mops and cleaning
cloths, must not be put into the washer. These
flammable substances may cause the fabric
to catch on fire by itself.
17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
8. Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or
agitator is moving.
9. Do not install or store the washer where it will
be exposed to water and/or weather.
10. Do not tamper with the controls.
11. Do not repair or replace any part of the
washer, or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in the usermaintenance instructions or in published userrepair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.
12. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire,
DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter
to connect the washer to the electrical power
source.
13. Use your washer only for its intended purpose,
washing clothes.
14. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from
electrical supply before attempting any
service. Disconnect the power cord by
grasping the plug, not the cord.
18. Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping
or dropping the washer can damage safety
features. If this occurs, have your washer
checked by a qualified service person.
19. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.
20. Be sure water connections have a shut-off
valve and that fill hose connections are tight.
CLOSE the shut-off valves at the end of each
wash day. Replace fill hoses every five years.
21. Lid MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is
to agitate or spin. DO NOT by-pass the lid
switch by permitting the washer to agitate or
spin with the lid open. A brake will stop the
washtub within seconds if the lid is opened
during spinning. If the washtub does not stop
when the lid is opened, remove the washer
from use and call the service person.
22. Check washer for water leaks after each use. If
water is found, turn off the water supply and
call for service immediately. Don’t use washer
until it is repaired by an authorized service
agent.
23. If the washer’s volume or type of sound
changes from what is normally heard, call an
authorized service agent immediately to
prevent possible damage to other
components.
24. Never start a cycle and leave the property
without first checking to make sure the wash
cycle is complete.
25. Always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions on packages of laundry and
cleaning aids. Heed all warnings or
precautions. To reduce the risk of poisoning or
chemical burns, keep them out of the reach of
children at all times (preferably in a locked
cabinet).
26. Always follow the fabric care instructions
supplied by the garment manufacturer.
27. Never operate the washer with any guards
and/or panels removed.
28. DO NOT operate the washer with missing or
broken parts.
NOTE: The WARNING and Important Safety
Instructions appearing in this manual are not
meant to cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. Observe and be aware
of other labels and precautions that are located
on the machine. They are intended to provide
instructions for safe use of the machine. Common
sense, caution and care must be exercised when
installing, maintaining, or operating the washer.
Always contact your dealer, distributor or service
agent about any problems or conditions you do not
understand.
29. DO NOT by-pass any safety devices.
30. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this
machine according to the manufacturer's
instructions may result in conditions which
can produce bodily injury and/or property
damage.
Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them
inside out. One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail
or sharp object in a load can catch laundry and
cause tears. Facial tissue left in a pocket will
produce extreme “lint”. A crayon or lipstick in a
wash load may cause stains that cannot be
removed. Roll down cuffs and shake out grass, sand
and gravel.
Mend Rips and Tears
Little holes can become bigger in the washer. Mend
holes and tears before placing garments in the
washer.
Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks
These can catch on garments in a wash load and
tear them. Tie belts and sashes so they won’t wind
around clothes.
Check For Colorfastness
Squeeze a portion of garment in warm or hot sudsy
water. If the color bleeds or runs, wash the item
separately in cold water.
Sort Items
Different items use different wash cycles and
temperatures. Always follow the manufacturer’s
care label. Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few
guidelines:
1. Sort by Color:
Separate items into loads of
whites, darks, lights and noncolorfast.
2. Sort by Fabric and Construction:
Separate items into loads of
cottons/linens, permanent press,
synthetics/blends/poly knits, and
delicates.
3. Sort by Temperature:
Separate items into loads
that can be washed in cold,
warm or hot water.
TLW1991N
4. Sort by Type and Amount of
Soil:
Heavily soiled clothes will need extra
treatment. Lightly soiled clothes can become
dingy if washed with heavily soiled items.
5. Sort Lint “Shedders” From Lint “Receivers”:
Some fabrics attract lint and should not be
washed with lint-shedding loads. Lint
shedders are cottons, terry towels, chenille
bedspreads, rugs and clothes that have been
heavily bleached.
Lint receivers are synthetics, permanent or
durable press, knits (including socks),
corduroy, and other smooth fabrics.
Pretreat
Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pretreat
product or liquid detergent when placing them in
the washer. Before washing, treat special stains
individually.
Do not wash or dry items soiled with
vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils
may remain after washing and may
cause the fabric to catch on fire by
itself.

NOTE: Always add detergent first.
Load Articles
•Load items by the amount of space they take
up, not by their weight. Mix large and small
items in a load to get the best washing
results.
•Drop items loosely into the washtub. The bulk
of the clothes rather than the weight will
determine load size. Do not pack items in or
wrap them around the agitator. Overloading
can cause poor cleaning, excessive wrinkling
and tears.
•When washing very large items, do not fill
washtub as full as with other loads.
Water Level
•The water level in your washer should fit the
size of your wash load. Small loads will use
lower water levels. There must be enough
water in the washtub to allow items to move
and turn over freely.
•Overloading the washtub can result in poor
washing and rinsing.
•Overloading may also cause wrinkling and
tearing of items.
•Items should move freely through the wash
water for best cleaning results. Items should
rollover, sink and then reappear.

Small3-4 permanent press dress shirts or 1 twin sheet, 1 pillow case or 1-2 lightweight
Medium6-7 permanent press shirts or 2 twin sheets, 2 pillow cases or 8 standard bath
Extra Large8-9 shirts, 5 pair polyester pants or 2 queen size sheets, 4 pillow cases,
IMPORTANT: If in doubt, always use a higher water
level. Most average loads will require a water
setting between Medium and Extra Large. Failure
to have the correct volume of water relative to
the load will increase the incidence of excessive
lint.
•Reset (OPTIONAL)
Use the RESET if agitation has started and
more water is needed for the load.
Hot water will give the best results of cleaning and
sanitizing, but it is not suitable for all items. It is
best for sturdy whites and colorfast items, heavily
soiled items and diapers.
Warm Water
By using warm water, there is less chance of color
loss in items. Warm water also reduces wrinkling in
permanent press items. Use with light and
moderate soils, non-colorfast or dark colors,
permanent press, silks, woolens, nylon, and acrylic.
Cold Water
Cold water is less effective in cleaning than hot or
warm water, but it does minimize wrinkling and color
fading. Use it for washing extra-sensitive clothes
and for the rinsing of all fabrics.
NOTE: In wash temperatures colder than 60oF
(15oC), detergents do not dissolve well. This may
cause ineffective cleaning, or lint and residue to
form.
You can save energy when washing by following a few
guidelines:
1. Heating water accounts for the greatest
energy expense when washing. Save on heating
water by using warm or cold washes as well as
cold rinses.
2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.
3. Use soak cycles for heavily soiled items to
reduce wash times.
4. Select a shorter wash time for lightly soiled
items.

operating your washer.
W522
WARNING
Determine Proper Cycle
Delicate Cycle
Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on
this cycle. A full tub of water is recommended (even
for small loads) to allow the delicate items to move
freely through the water. More water helps reduce
fabric wear, wrinkling, and provides for a clean wash.
On this cycle, the agitation during the wash portion
of the cycle is not constant. The wash will alternate
between a period of agitation and a period of
pausing. This continues until advancing to the spin
portion of the cycle.
(Some cycles may not be included on your model)
Regular Cycle
Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes,
towels, T-shirts, etc. The wash time selection will
depend on the type of fabric and the amount of soil.
For the best results when cleaning heavily soiled
items, use a longer wash time (15 minutes
maximum). Lightly soiled items require less wash
time and spin out.
There are three settings in the REGULAR cycle –
Extra Clean, Normal and Light. On some models, the
number shown next to these settings is the length
of agitation in minutes. (For example: Setting the
timer on Extra Clean will be a 15 minute agitation.)
Permanent Press Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics.
The wash time selection will depend upon the type
of fabric and amount of soil.
There are two settings in the PERMANENT PRESS
cycle – Normal and Light. On some models, the
number shown next to these settings is the length
of agitation in minutes. (For example: Setting the
timer on Normal will be a nine minute agitation.)
There are two settings in the DELICATE cycle –
Normal and Light. On some models, the number
shown next to these settings is the length of time
in minutes. (For example: Setting the timer on
Normal will be nine minutes, including short periods
of agitation and long periods of soaking.)
Soak/Prewash (on select models only)
Use for heavily soiled or stained clothing. During
the SOAK/PREWASH setting, the washtub will fill
with water, agitate for a reduced period of time,
pause for approximately 12 minutes, and spin out
to complete the cycle.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, do
not by-pass the lid switch by permitting
the washer to agitate or spin with the lid
open.
W523
WARNING
IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer, make
sure the washer cord is plugged into a 120 Volt
electrical outlet that has the proper grounding
and polarity. Make sure the washer hoses are
connected to the hot and cold water faucets, and
that the faucets are turned on. Be sure the drain
hose is not kinked and is inserted into a drain.
Refer to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for
details of proper washer installation.
3. Add clothes loosely into the washtub.
TLW1996N
IMPORTANT: Prior to first wash, use an all
purpose cleaner, or a detergent and water
solution, and a damp cloth to remove shipping
dust from inside of washtub.
1. Get the clothes ready for washing. Empty
pockets and cuffs. Sort items into separate
loads. Pretreat stains and heavily soiled
areas.
IMPORTANT: Remove all sharp objects from
laundry to avoid tears and rips to items during
normal machine operation.
2. Measure and add detergent to the washtub.
Follow instructions on detergent package for
amount to use.
4. Close the lid. The washer will not agitate or
spin with the lid open.
Failure to turn the timer knob to the spin
cycle and completely drain the washtub
after soaking will result in the washer
overflowing and cause property damage.
W524
CAUTION
Manual Soaking
Although the washer cycles are automatic, the
timer may be reset to lengthen, shorten or repeat a
portion of a cycle.
To set or reset the timer, push timer knob in to
stop the washer. Hold timer knob in firmly while
turning it clockwise to the setting desired. Pull
timer knob out to start the washer.
Set the timer knob in the center of the word
“RINSE” (this prevents the washer from spinning
without first filling with water). Place the soaking
product and clothes load in the washtub. Pull timer
knob to start washer fill. After fill is completed and
agitation has started, (lid must be closed) push
the timer knob in. This will stop the washer. When
the clothes have soaked the desired length of time,
TURN THE TIMER KNOB TO THE START OF THE
SPIN SETTING, then pull the timer knob out to
start the spin.
The bleach dispenser is located in the left front
corner, under the lid.
Use liquid bleach in the dispenser. Powdered bleach
must not be used in the dispenser. Add powdered
bleach to the wash water.
Use no more than one cup chlorine bleach for large
loads, three-quarters cup for medium and one-half
cup for small loads.
Carefully pour recommended amount of bleach into
the dispenser during the first fill of the washer.
Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach. It is a
strong chemical and can damage some fabrics if it
is not properly diluted.
To Use Dispenser
After the clothes are loaded into the washtub and
before the start of the WASH cycle, pour the
proper amount of liquid fabric softener into the
bottle measuring cap (refer to bottle directions).
Pour into dispenser.
The large fabric softener dispenser allows for the
fabric softener to be diluted with water. We
recommend adding water up to the fill level. Do not
exceed tip of arrow which indicates correct fill level.
Over-filling can allow fabric softener to spill onto
the clothes, causing stains on clothes if the
softener comes into contact with detergent suds.
Setting the water level to medium or higher will
result in better performance from the fabric
softener.
The fabric softener will remain in the dispenser
during the wash fill, agitation and spin. At the end
of the wash spin, the liquid fabric softener will be
dispensed into the washtub through the slots in
the agitator and will be mixed with the incoming
rinse water.
Remove the dispenser housing from agitator by
squeezing the lower part of the dispenser, pulling
directly upward and at the same time tilting
slightly. This will expose the dispenser cup, which is
also removable, for cleaning (refer to illustration).
Both housing and cup can be soaked in hot soapy
water and rinsed clean. The funnel shape in top of
agitator also needs to be cleaned. The hole and the
slots in the two rings will require using a small brush
for proper cleaning.
After cleaning, install dispenser cup, then push
dispenser housing directly downward onto top of
agitator until firmly snapped together.
•Fabric softener spilled onto garments may
cause staining. To remove, dampen stain and
rub with bar soap. Wash as usual.
•Liquid fabric softeners will be dispensed during
the final rinse and should not be combined with
bleach, bluing, starch, detergents, soaps or
packaged water conditioners.
•Fabric softener is not to be used in dispenser
when using Prewash cycle, if available.
•When adding detergent to wash water, do not
allow any to enter into softener dispenser cup,
as softener will become gummy.
To prevent softener buildup, the dispenser can be
filled with clean water for automatic cleaning. This
can be done in washing cycles other than when
softener is used.

•If the washer is delivered on a cold day (below
freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or
area during the cold months, do not attempt
to operate it until the washer has had a
chance to warm up.
Care of Your Washer
•Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning
the control panel. Some spray pretreat
products may harm the finish on the control
panel.
•Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If
detergent, bleach or other washing products
are spilled on the cabinet, wipe immediately.
Some products will cause permanent damage
if spilled on the cabinet.
•Do not use scouring pads or abrasive
cleansers.
Replacing Hoses
•Hoses and other natural parts deteriorate
after extended use. Hoses may develop
cracks, blisters or material wear from the
temperature and constant high pressure they
are subjected to.
•All hoses should be checked on a monthly
basis for any visible signs of deterioration. Any
hose showing the signs of deterioration listed
above should be replaced immediately.
•All hoses should be replaced every five years.
Vacations and Extended
Non-Use
•To avoid possible property damage due to
flooding, turn off the water supply to the
washer whenever there will be an extended
period of non-use.
•The washtub will need no particular care
though it may need rinsing or wiping after an
unusual load has been washed. This also may
be necessary if too little detergent has been
used.
•Leave the lid open to allow the inside of the
washer to dry out after use. This helps
prevent musty odors from developing.
•Check the filter screens in the fill hoses for
debris or damage at least once a year. Clean or
replace them if necessary.
•After the shipping brace has been installed in
the lid opening, tilt washer back enough to
access base opening.
You must install the shipping brace and shipping
plug any time the washer is moved.
Shipping Brace
•The shipping brace in the lid opening should be
saved and reinstalled whenever the washer is
moved. To reinstall the brace, open the washer
lid and place the brace over the washer
agitator, placing the back of the brace into the
washtub first.
Shipping Plug
•The plastic shipping plug should be saved and
reinstalled any time the washer is moved. The
plug fits into two openings: The base opening
and the shipping plug opening on the bottom of
the mobile pivot dome. The plug MUST be
inserted into both openings to prevent
damage to the washer. In order to accomplish
this, the shipping plug opening must be
directly lined up with the base opening. Refer
to illustrations below.
•Insert shipping plug into base opening and,
using the palm of your hand, push shipping plug
into washer until it snaps into shipping plug
opening.
Motor Overload Protector
•The internal motor overload protector will
stop the motor automatically if there are too
many clothes in the washtub or if a failure has
occurred within the machine. The overload
protector will reset itself in two or three
minutes and the motor will restart
automatically. If the overload protector stops
the motor again, remove the washer from use
and call the service person to correct the
problem.
Follow these guidelines to ensure the washer
operates properly. Call for service if you observe any
of the following: water of any amount on the floor,
an increase in operating noise or water remaining in
the washtub after a cycle.
