the weight.

5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not grounded adequately and in accordance with local

and national codes. See installation instructions for grounding this appliance.

6, To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:

a. Do not wash items that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or

explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Hand wash and line dry

any items containing these substances, Any material on which you have used a cleaning

solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in the

washer until all traces of these liquids or solids

and their fumes have been removed.

These items include acetone, denatured alcohol,

gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes

and wax removers.

De 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.

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

OperutingTips

Detergent

• Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent. For

best results, be sure detergent is added to the

washer BEFORE the load and be sure the wash water is above 60 ° F.

• Use the correct amount of detergent for the load size, soil level and water conditions. Use more detergent if

you have hard water and very soiled loads.

If you have soft water or a lightly soiled load, use less detergent. (See manufacturer's instructions.)

• Wipe up any detergent spills on the washer.

• For best results add the detergent to the washtub before adding the load.

• Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to the

top row of holes for a maximum load.

• Do not wrap large items like sheets around the agitator.

• Mix large and small items for best circulation. Wash bulky items like blankets separately.

• When laundering wrinkle free items or items of delicate construction, washable woolens or loosely

knit items, never use less than the MEDIUM water level setting. This will minimize shrinkage, wrinkling

and pulling of seams.

• Close lid carefully to avoid slamming.

OperuflngTips

Additional Tips

• During the spin, it is possible for the load to become

unevenly distributed in the tub. If this happens, push in the control dial, open the lid, redistribute the load, close the lid and restart the washer. The spin will

resume at the point it was interrupted.

• The washer will pause briefly throughout each cycle.

These pauses are normal.

• This washer is designed so that it will not agitate or spin when the lid is open. It will, however, fill with the

lid open so water is available for pretreating stains or diluting fabric softener.

• If you open the lid during a spin cycle, the washer

will stop. When the lid is closed and the washer is

restarted, the washer will continue the cycle at the point it was interrupted.

SpecialFeatures

Liquid Bleach Dispenser

The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine

bleach before it reaches your wash load. To use, follow

these steps:

1. Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully, following the instructions on the bottle.

2. Pour liquid chlorine bleach into the bleach dispenser before adding the load. Avoid splashing

or over-filling the dispenser.

Fabric Softener Dispenser

The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the cycle.

To use, follow these steps:

1. Pour a measured amount of fabric softener into the dispenser to fill line only.

2. If fabric softener comes below line, add warm water.

If it is necessary to clean the dispenser:

Pull the dispenser off of the top of the agitator.

Soak for one hour in sink or container in hot water and dishwashing liquid.

Hold hands over top and bottom of dispenser and

shake to loosen buildup.

/4.

Rinse with clean, hot water.

Repeat process if necessary.

6. Replace dispenser on agitator.

Do not use dishwashing liquid inside the washer. Oversudsing

can occur.

Pour liquid chlorine bleach into

bleach dispenser.

Notes:

• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the wash tub. It is a

powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage,

such as tearing or color loss, if not used properly.

• If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine

bleach, pour it into the wash tub with your detergent. Do not pour non-chlorine bleaches into the bleach dispenser.

Quick Faucet

([select models)

Provides a flow of water when holding the

switch in the On position.

Automatic Lint Filtering System

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

the agitation cycle before it can be redeposited 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 the outer tub. Lint is

automatically flushed from the washer during the sp_n cycle.

Safety Spin

If for any reason you open the washer lid when the

iiiiili_iiii!ililiiiiiiion

i iiii ii i!iiiiiiliiiiil; iiiiii ;ii!

G,*ck

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 service technician

immediately. When the lid is closed, the operation will

automatically resume.

SpecialFeatures

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 control dial for the final spin period.

Care&Cleaning

After washing, leave the lid open until the interior

is dry.

Check hoses to be sure there are no kinks or knots.

Your washer should not be installed where temperatures will go below freezing, as damage to

the washer could result.

To clean, occasionally wipe exterior with a clean

damp sponge or cloth. Do not use polish on plastic parts.

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 garments. 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 washer.

10.

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.

11.

If you close your home for the winter, have a service

technician drain the washer. Unplug cord from

electrical outlet and disconnect hoses from faucets.

Overload Protector

A built-in protector automatically shuts off the washer

motor in case of an overload. This can occur if:

• The load being washed is too heavy.

• 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 service technician.

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the interior of the washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew or bacteria residue

that may remain in the washer as a result of washing

clothes. We recommend taking the following steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your washer

interior. The frequency with which the washer should be cleaned and freshened depends on factors such as usage, the amount of dirt, soil or bacteria being run

through your washer, or the use of cold water. Failure to follow these instructions may result in unsatisfactory

conditions, including unpleasant odor and/or permanent stains on the washer or washload.

To clean and freshen the washer interior:

1. Add a measured amount of chlorine bleach to the

bleach dispenser, following package directions.

2. Add 1/4 cup of detergent to the tub.

3. Run the washer without a load through a complete cycle using hot water.

/4. Repeat the process if necessary.
