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.

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.

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

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.

NOTE: High efficiency (HE) detergents are designed es­pecially for frontload washers to reduce oversudsing and maximize cleaning results. Look for the HE logo or “high efficiency” on the detergent’s label.
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
The fabric softener compartment is located in the left rear corner of the dispenser drawer. Refer to compartment 3 of illustration.

Maintenance

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
5. Reinstall front access panel.
6. Go to rear of washer to install rear shipping bolt, washer, spacer assemblies.
7. Insert shipping bolt assemblies into each shipping bolt hole. Re­fer to
Figure 3
8. Tighten bolt while pressing washer against rear panel to ensure spacer is fully inserted.
