Operating Instructions

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.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.

Determine Proper Cycle

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 the prewash setting and a longer wash time (15 minutes maximum). Lightly soiled items require less wash time.

There are four settings in the REGULAR cycle – PREWASH, HEAVY, NORMAL and LIGHT. The prewash setting is for heavily soiled or stained clothing.

NOTE: Detergent should not be used during the PREWASH setting. Use a spot remover directly on stains when using this setting. Detergent should be added when the PREWASH setting ends.

DELICATE Cycle

Wash delicate items usually washed before by hand on this cycle. There are two settings in the DELICATE cycle – NORMAL and LIGHT.

RINSE & SPIN Cycle

Use for items that only need to be rinsed. This cycle is also useful in ridding your washer of suds when too much detergent or regular sudsing detergent has been used.

NOTE: In some cases, the RINSE & SPIN cycle may not be enough to completely remove soap. In these cases, an additional RINSE & SPIN setting may be necessary.

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.

8. Pull the timer knob out to start the washer. The DOOR LOCKED 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, push the timer knob in, wait approximately 45 seconds for DOOR LOCKED light to go out, open door, add or remove items, adjust the timer knob (if desired) and pull timer knob out.

W547I

The EXTRA RINSE control is useful for detergent sensitive skin. By pressing the EXTRA RINSE to ON, the REGULAR, PERMANENT PRESS, and DELICATE cycles will each provide an additional rinse. If the extra rinse is desired, press the switch to ON. When the extra rinse is not wanted, OFF should be selected.

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. Do not attempt to turn the timer through these pauses; they are part of the cycle.

Operating Instructions

Timer

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 slowly turning it clockwise to the setting desired. Pull timer knob out to start the washer.

DOOR LOCKED Light

When the washer is started, the DOOR LOCKED light will come on after a short delay. The light will turn off 10 to 30 seconds after the cycle is complete.

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 repeat the cycle beginning at the last rinse.

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

End of Cycle Signal

W549I

The volume of the signal tone may be set on OFF, LOUD or between the two selections. If a volume level is selected, the signal tone will buzz on and off when the cycle is completed. The signal will stop when the door is opened, or when the timer has advanced to an OFF position.

NOTE: If the signal comes on and remains on, the washer may have sensed an error. Unplug the washer, shut water off to washer and contact a service person.
