WASH CYCLE
CoI-rONS/WRINKLE.FREE CLOTHES
COTTONS consists of 16 minutes of
agitation. You may set the timer knob
at any point between 4 to 16 minutes
for complete flexibility.
WRINKLE-FREE setting with speed
selection of NORMAL/SLOW and
temperature set at WARM/COLD will
give you a wash cycle for Permanent
Press garments.
DEMCATES CYCLE
DELICATES consists of 12 minutes of
agitation followed by a cool-down
spray rinse for Delicate Fabrics. A
shorter spin follows.
STAIN-CLEANER eliminates the
inconvenience of wash tub soaking of
stained clothes before the wash cycle,
Stain.Cleaner eliminates the need for
pre-spot products while providing
comparable stain removal performance.
Add liquid or granular detergent (step 2),
then place liquid detergent in the liquid
dispenser (step 4). Clothes soak for 30
minutes with several brief periods of
agitation. Water is spun out and clean
wash water is added along with
detergent for a 16 minute wash.
Stain-Cleaner must be selected on the

warm water soak, a warm wash, and a
warm rinse. Set speed for normal
agitation and spin speeds. Use this
cycle with polyesters and blends (check
manufacturer's recommendations).
Grass, ketchup, soil, and juices are
among the stains that respond well to
this type of treatment.
Select HOT/COLD on the
TEMPERATURE SELECTOR for a hot
water soak, hot wash, and a cold dnse.
Set speed for normal agitation and
spin speeds. This cycle is recom-
mended for most cotton fabrics (check
manufacturer's labels). Use for diapers,
baby formula, cosmetics and most oil-
based stains.
EXTRA RINSE provides an additional
rinse and spin out for bulky items such
as blankets and spreads. Water
temperature and speed will be the
same as selected for the Regular Rinse.
LIQUID
DISPENSER
OR
UNT FILTERING SYSTEM
(AUTOMATIC}
The Lint Filtering system does not
require cleaning,
Wash and rinse water is filtered and re-
filtered continuously to trap lint shed
by most fabrics during agitation cycle
before it can be re-deposited on the
wash load. The engineered hole design
on the wash basket in conjunction with
water flow produced by the agitator
traps lint away from the clothes
between the inner wash basket and
outer tub. Lint is automatically flushed
from the washer during the spin cycle.
LIQUID DISPENSER
TOP
DISPENSER
DFILL LINE
The dispenser may be used for fabric
conditioner with regular cycles or
liquid detergent with the Stain-Cleaner
cycles. Dispenser should be cleaned
after use of liquid detergent.
Following the manufacturer's
instructions, pour a measured amount
of liquid into inner chamber to fill line
only. If liquid used comes below line,
add water. The dispenser will release
the liquid at the appropriate time in the
cycle.
If it becomes necessary to clean
dispenser, hold dispenser with bottom
side up and twist until tabs are
disengaged from locking slots. You are
then able to clean both parts using
warm water and a brush if necessary.
To reassemble, hold both pieces in an
upright position. Insert the inner
chamber into outer chamber and
position tabs into slots. Rotate until
tabs snap into locking position.
LIQUID BLEACH DISPENSER
A convenient Bleach Dispenser is built
into your washer which makes it easy
and safe to use liquid chlorine bleach
when it is needed. Load the Dispenser
(maximum one cup) BEFORE YOU
LOAD THE CLOTHES INTO THE
WASHER.
The Bleach Dispenser is located at the
left front corner of the door opening on
the cabinet top.
Pour liquid chlorine bleach into
bleach dispenser,
The Bleach Dispenser requires no
special care for cleaning. However, to
avoid damage to chromed and painted
surfaces, any spilled bleach should be
rinsed off immediately with clean water.
SAFETY SPIN
If for any reason you open the washer
lid when the washer is in a SPIN or
EXTRACT period, the operation will
immediately stop. THIS IS FOR YOUR
PERSONAL SAFETY. IF YOUR WASHER
DOES NOT STOP, CALL YOUR
SERVICEMAN IMMEDIATELY.
When the lid is closed, the operation
will automatically be resumed.
SPIN DRYING
UNBALANCED SPIN LOAD
COMPENSATOR
Your new washer is designed to handle
out-of-balance loads without shutting
down or interrupting the washing cycle.
For this reason, the cycle will always be
completed. If heavier fabrics in such out-
of-balance loads should ever contain
excessive moisture at the completion of
the cycle, redistribute the clothes in the
washer and reset the Cycle Control for
an extra spin,
OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
A built-in protector automatically shuts
off the washer motor in case of an
overload. This can occur if:
• Too heavy a load is being washed,
• Too many appliances are plugged
into the line operating your washer.
• A low voltage condition exists on
the line.
• Lid is opened and closed repeatedly.
The overload protector permits the
washer to start again when the motor
has cooled to a safe operating
temperature.
If the motor stops repeatedly, call your
company service technician.

_Ou
1. Check hoses to be sure there are no
kinks or knots.
2. Your washer should not be installed
or stored where temperature will go
below freezing, as damage to the
washer could result.
3. Occasionally wipe exterior with a
clean damp sponge or cloth. Polish
with a soft dry cloth.
4. Lifetime lubrication is done at the
factory, so your washer never needs
to be oiled or greased.
Do not lay heavy or sharp objects on
top of your washer.
The top of the washer should not be
used for removing stains from gar-
ments. Some stain removers, such
as rust remover, will mar the finish.
Remove pins, buckles or other sharp
objects from clothes to prevent
scratching interior parts.
Clothes should not be stored in

Bleach, detergent, solvents, etc.
spilled on the top of your washer
that are allowed to remain will
remove the glossy finish. Remove all
spills with a damp, soft cloth.
If you close your home for the
winter, have a serviceman drain the
washer. Unplug cord from electric
outlet and disconnect hoses from
faucets.

or plastic sheet can create a chamber
with inadequate ventilation.
REMOVE THE DOOR to the washing
compartment before the washer is
removed from service or discarded.
4. DO NOT REACH INTO the washer if the
tub or agitator is moving. The washer is
equipped with a safety switch for your

the washer lid is opened during the Spin
Cycle, disconnect the electrical power to
the washer, Do not operate the washer
until it has been repaired by a qualified
service technician.

technician.
7. DO NOT WASH FIBERGLASS
ARTICLES unless recommended by
manufacturer.
8. FLAME RETARDANT FINtSHES -
improper laundering could remove
them. FOLLOW garment manufacturer's
instructions carefully.
9. WHEN MOVING, have the washer
checked and properly installed by a
qualified service technician.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
10. 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.
11. DO NOT WASH ARTICLES which
have been previously cleaned,
washed, soaked, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, oil,
waxes, chemical solvents, alcohol,
turpentine, or other flammable or
explosive materials. These substances
will be retained in articles, and articles
which still contain these flammable or
explosive substances give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
12. OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS
WHEN USING CLEANING FLUIDS,
SPOT OR STAIN REMOVERS, ETC.
Products should be labeled
"NONFLAMMABLE". Use according to
MANUFACTURER'S DIRECTIONS in a
well VENTILATED AREA or outdoors,
Thoroughly RINSE ARTICLES by hand
before placing them in the washer.
Some of these products - rust
removers, for example - wilt damage
components and the finish of the
washer.
FIRE HAZARD
13. KEEP AREA around and under-
neath washer free from the accumu-
lation of combustible materials, such
as lint, paper, rags, gasoline, and all
other flammable vapors and liquids.
14, HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE
and under certain conditions,
hydrogen gas may be produced in a
hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. If the hot
water system has not been used for
such a period, BEFORE USING THE
WASHER, turn on all hot water faucets
and let the water flow from each
faucet for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. As this gas is flammable, DO NOT
SMOKE or use an open flame during
this procedure.
15. Recent studies have shown that if
vegetable oil contaminated materials
are incompletely washed, a carry-over
and buildup of the oil may contribute
to a chemical reaction (spontaneous
combustion) that could cause a load
to catch fire by itself. This would be
more likety to happen if the load was
left in the dryer after tumbling
stopped or if items were folded and
stacked while warm.
