To Wash Clothes

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.

IMPORTANT: Prior to first wash, use an allpurpose cleaner, or a detergent and water solution, and a damp cloth to remove shipping dust from inside of washtub.

IMPORTANT: Remove all sharp objects from laundry to avoid tears and rips to items during normal machine operation.

1. Get the clothes ready for washing. Empty pockets and cuffs. Sort items into separate loads. Pretreat stains and heavily soiled areas.

being washed. Use the indicator dot on the knob as a guide.

4. Turn on extra rinse, if desired.

5. Press and hold the START button for two seconds.

To change the cycle after the first wash is complete:

NOTE: This should only be done if the speed of the final extract is incorrect for the fabric being washed. For example, if washing delicate items on the REGULAR cycle, the high speed extract may damage the fabric. Or, if washing towels or jeans on the DELICATE cycle, the lower speed extract would increase drying time.

FLW1932N

8. Press and hold the START button for two seconds to start the washer. The DOOR light will come on after a short delay, water fill will begin, and wash drum will begin tumbling.

NOTE: Washer door MUST be closed tightly to start washer.

If items need to be added or removed after a cycle has started, turn the Cycle Selector knob to the OFF position. Wait until the DOOR light goes off (approximately 45 seconds after cycle has been stopped), open door, add or remove items, and start the cycle again.

There is no agitator on this washer. Instead, the clothing gently tumbles 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 uniqueness of the washer. They are part of the cycle.

To Change Cycles

1. Abort the current cycle by changing the cycle selector switch to the OFF position.

2. Restart the cycle from the beginning. Refer to the To Wa sh Cl o th es section.

To Pump Out Water After Aborting Cycle

Run a SPIN ONLY cycle. This cycle will perform a high speed extract operation that will pump all of the water out of the washer.

DOOR Light

When the washer is started, the DOOR light will come on after a short delay. The light will turn off approximately 45 seconds after the cycle is complete.

WASH Light

This light comes on during the wash part of each cycle.

RINSE Light

This light comes on for the rinse portion of each cycle.

FINAL SPIN Light

If the selected cycle is not the correct cycle for the fabric being washed, you may change the cycle selection at any time until the first wash fill is complete. Once the washer has filled for the first part of the cycle (the wash portion), the current cycle must be aborted and a new cycle must be started.

To change the cycle before the first fill is complete:

Change the cycle selected on the cycle selector switch.

To change the cycle after the first fill is complete and before the first wash is complete:

1. Abort the current cycle by changing the cycle selector switch to the OFF position.

2. Set the WASH/RINSE temperature selector.

3. Set cycle selector.

This light comes on while the wash load is in the final spin of the cycle.

Out of Balance Load

If at the end of the cycle, the load is dripping wet, the washer has limited the spin speed. This is to prevent damage to the unit if there is a severely unbalanced load.

If this condition occurs, redistribute the load manually and run a RINSE & SPIN cycle.

If the condition persists, consider steps discussed in the Before Washing section of the Use and Care Guide.
