Important Safety Instructions

Save These Instructions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your washer, follow these basic precautions:

W023

• Read all instructions before using the washer.

• Install the washer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to the EARTH/GROUND INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connection of the washer. All connections for water, drain, electrical power and earth/ground must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself.

• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

• Do not add the following substances or textiles containing traces of the following substances to the wash water: gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils, drycleaning solvents, ﬂammable chemicals, thinners or other ﬂam- mable or explosive substances. These substances give oﬀ va- pors that could ignite, explode or cause the fabric to catch on ﬁre by itself.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. This is a safety rule for all appliances.

• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• Children less than three years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.

• Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or agitator, if applicable, is moving.

• Never operate the washer with any guards, panels and/or parts removed or broken. DO NOT tamper with the controls or bypass any safety devices.

• DO NOT operate individual units if they have been separated from a stack unit.

• Use your washer only for its intended purpose, washing clothes. Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.

• Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. 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). Heed all warnings or precautions.

• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

• Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is to ﬁll, tumble or spin. DO NOT bypass the loading door switch by permiing the washer to operate with the loading door open.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or aempt any servicing unless speciﬁcally recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical supply before aempting any service.

• Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualiﬁed persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid or door to the washing compartment.

• Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this washer according to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

Safety Information

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 instruction 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, service agent or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not understand.

Operation

Before Washing

Prepare Wash Load

Empty Pockets and Cuﬀs

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, cause tears and plug the pump. 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

Lile 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.

Put Small Items in Bag

Small items such as baby socks may get stuck around the door. Put them inside a mesh garment bag.

Check For Colorfastness

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 non-colorfast.

2. Sort by Fabric and Construction: Separate items into loads of coons/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.

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 coons, 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.

WARNING

Squeeze a portion of garment in warm or hot sudsy water. If the color bleeds or runs, wash the item separately in cold water.

DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT

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.

Operation

Loading the Washer

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.

• Load items loosely into the wash drum. The bulk of the clothes rather than the weight will determine load size.

Bulky Items

• Use the DELICATE cycle for bulky items such as blankets and comforters. The cycle includes gentle agitation to clean items delicately and thoroughly. The Second Rinse Option may be selected to ensure complete removal of soap residue. A ﬁnal spin extracts the moisture at a lower speed to maintain the load’s balance and minimize wear to the articles.

Load Sizes

• Load sizes vary. Small and large items should be washed together to create a balanced load. If washing a large item, two bath towels should be added to even the load.

• Smaller loads can create an unbalanced condition and cause premature wear on the washer. Do not hesitate to ﬁll the entire inner drum of the washer. The load will compress a great deal when wet. This allows room for proper tumbling.

Water Level

• The washer will automatically adjust the water level to the type and size of the load during any ﬁll.

Wash Temperature

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.

Hot

Hot water is the most eﬀective for cleaning, but it is not recommended for all fabric types (read labels).

Warm

The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough cleaning on light and moderately soiled clothing without damaging fabric or adding to color fading. Warm water also reduces wrinkling. Use with noncolorfast or dark colors, permanent press, silks, woolens, nylon, and acrylic.

Cold

The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although its cleaning abilities are not as great as with hot or warm water, it is useful for colors that bleed easily and for sensitive fabrics.

All rinses use cold water. It is the most beneﬁcial for fabrics. Cold rinses reduce wrinkling and color fading. In addition, cold rinses will save money and energy.

NOTE: In wash temperatures colder than 16°C [60°F], detergents do not dissolve well. This may cause ineffective cleaning, or lint and residue to form.

Table 1

Energy

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.

2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.

Cycle Operation

The cycles of your washer include several diﬀerent stages. Refer to the table below for what can be expected during the cycles that you select.

The washer operates by gently tumbling the clothing through the water. The wash action consists of a period of tumbling in one direction, a brief pause, and then a reverse tumble in the opposite direction. The pauses are part of the tumble action and add to the unique cleaning capabilities of the washer. They are part of the cycle.

The wash and rinse spins utilize a “ramp spin” action. The wash drum starts rotating clockwise at a low speed and then gradually spins up to higher speeds to eﬃciently extract water.

Cycle Operation

NOTE: If using non-HE detergent, avoid oversudsing by using only 1/2 of the detergent manufacturer's recommended amount.

IMPORTANT: If using single-load laundry detergent packets or 3-in-1 laundry sheets, DO NOT place them in the dispenser drawer. Place them directly in the wash drum with clothes.

When adding detergent, use only the recommended amount. Do not ﬁll the compartment over the maximum level indicated on the drawer. Adding too much detergent or using regular sudsing detergent could result in an oversudsing condition, which would require additional rinsing with cold water. Use care when adding detergent so as not to spill into the other compartments. Detergent mixed with fabric softener can make the softener gummy.

Use no more than the maximum level indicated for the fabric softener compartment. Adding more than the maximum amount could result in early dispensing of the product and possible staining of fabrics.

Add fabric softener to compartment before beginning wash load. The fabric softener will be dispensed during the last rinse stage of the cycle.

Carefully close dispenser drawer. Do not allow softener to spill into other compartments.

To Remove the Dispenser Drawer

Pull the drawer out until it stops. Then press the tab under the drawer to release and remove it.

To Clean the Dispenser

Pour hot water into the dispenser drawer, making sure it ﬂushes through each compartment. Use a small brush to thoroughly clean out any residue.

NOTE: The normal level of suds should be below center of the door.

Liquid Bleach Compartment

The bleach compartment is located in the left front corner of the dispenser drawer. Refer to compartment 2 of illustration. It has been designed to prevent the dispensing of undiluted bleach onto the clothes load.

Use liquid bleach in the dispenser. Powdered bleach must not be used in this compartment. Powdered bleach can be used in the detergent compartment only and can be added along with the detergent.

DO NOT use more than the maximum level indicated for the bleach compartment. Adding more than the maximum amount could result in early dispensing of the product and possible damage to fabrics.

Carefully pour recommended amount of bleach into the compartment before starting wash load.

Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach. It is a strong chemical and can damage some fabrics if it is not properly diluted. Follow bleach manufacturer’s label for proper use.

Carefully close dispenser drawer. Do not allow bleach to spill into other compartments.

Fabric Softener Compartment

Maintenance

Lubrication

All moving parts are sealed in a permanent supply of lubricant or are equipped with oilless bearings. Additional lubrication will not be necessary.

Do not lubricate the door hinge. If the hinge makes noise, replace the hinge.

Cold Weather Care

If the unit is delivered on a cold day (below freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area during the cold months, do not aempt to operate the washer until it has had a chance to warm up. Water from the previous cycle may remain.

Care of Your Washer

Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel. Some cleaning products may harm the ﬁnish on the control panel or damage the interior. DO NOT use products that contain alcohol on the control panel. Wipe the panel dry after cleaning.

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 on control panel or cabinet.

The wash drum will need no particular care although it may need rinsing or wiping after an unusual load has been washed.

The outside of the door window can be cleaned with household window cleaner.

Leave the door and dispenser drawer open slightly when not in use. This will help keep them dry and prevent musty smells.

Running an occasional rinse cycle with bleach will help to avoid a musty smell in the wash drum.

Cleaning Glass Sealing Area

In order to assure that the door properly seals against water leaks, the following surfaces should be wiped oﬀ periodically:

• The outside perimeter of the door glass where the seal contacts the glass

• The front surface of the door seal lip

Usually a mild soap solution will work. If there is an extreme build-up of minerals from a hard water supply, the surfaces may need to be cleaned with a lime removal chemical.

Replacing Hoses

Hoses and other rubber 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.

Flood safe hoses often can be the cause for no ﬁll or slow ﬁll issues. They are not recommended. Only use replacement ﬁll hoses from the manufacturer.

Filter Screens

Check the ﬁlter screens in the ﬁll hoses for debris or damage every six months. Clean or replace them if necessary.

If the washer is ﬁlling with water slower than normal, check the ﬁl- ter screens. Clean or replace them if necessary.

Order ﬁlter screen Part No. 803615 from the nearest authorized parts distributor.

Vacations and Extended Non-Use

IMPORTANT: 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.

Leave the loading door and dispenser drawer open during extended periods of non-use to allow the wash drum and drawer to dry out and avoid a musty smell.

Reinstallation of Shipping Materials

To prevent damage while moving the unit, the shipping materials MUST be reinstalled.

1. Disconnect washer from electrical supply.

2. Remove two screws at boom of front access panel.

3. Rotate boom of panel out and remove panel.

4. Aach shipping brace to weight and base using four bolts and washers. Refer to
