IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire
or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks
or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning
on
all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical
appliance
which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas
to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.
PROPER INSTALLATION
This washer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
If you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet, you can receive one by calling, toll-free
1-800-361-3400.

Load Size
The water level should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly. Loosely load clothes
no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub.
Wash/Spin Speed (on some models)
The agitator moves clothes around for a cleaner wash; the basket spins later in the cycle to release
water from the load. The Wash/Spin Speed dial sets the speed of both the agitator and the basket.
With Normal wash speed, the agitator moves faster. Use for cottons, denims and play clothes. With
Delicate wash speed, the agitator moves slower. Use for delicate and knit items.
The Normal spin speed is for durable items. The Delicate spin speed is for delicate items like
sweaters and lingerie. Clothes will be less dry than when using Normal spin speed.
Temperature
Select the water temperature for the wash and rinse cycles. Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care
label or instructions when laundering. Follow the water temperature guide on the washer lid.
Wash Cycle
The wash cycle controls the length of the washing process. The chart below will help you match the
wash cycle setting with your clothing.
COTTONS For heavy to lightly soiled cottons, household linens, work and play clothes.
PERMA PRESS For wrinkle-free and permanent press items, and knits.
DELICATE For lingerie and special-care fabrics with light to normal soil. Provides periods of agitation and soak
during wash and rinse.
SUPER For heavily soiled fabrics. This cycle provides a longer agitation.
PREWASH For heavily soiled clothes or for clothes with a care label that recommends prewashing before wearing.
QUICKWASH For lightly soiled items that are needed in a hurry.
15 MIN/30 MIN For heavily soiled clothes. Begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves
AUTO SOAK through the rest of the cycle automatically.

The Agitator Cap or Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some models)
The agitator cap
fits into the top of the
agitator. If it accidentally comes off, simply
put it back on.
The fabric softener dispenser
automatically
releases liquid fabric softener at the proper
time during the cycle.
Do not stop the washer during the first spin.
This will cause the dispenser to empty
too soon.
To use, follow these steps:
Make sure dispenser is securely attached
to agitator.
Use only liquid fabric softener. Pour
into dispenser, using amount
recommended on package.
Never pour fabric softener directly on
clothes. It may stain them.
Add water to dispenser until it reaches
the maximum fill line.

Do not pour anything into the agitator if
the agitator cap or dispenser is removed.
Liquid Bleach Dispenser (on some models)
The dispenser dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches into your wash load.
Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle.
■
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.
■
Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.
Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach
dispenser. Avoid splashing or over-filling dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered
bleach, add it into the wash basket with your detergent.
■
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover.
Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.

Separate the dispenser cup from the cover by grasping the top and pushing down on
the inside of the cup with your fingers. Dispenser cup will pop free from the cover.
To clean the dispenser, soak both the dispenser cup and the dispenser cover in the
following solution:
■
1 US gallon (3.8 liters) warm water
■
1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy duty liquid detergent
■
1 cup (240 ml) bleach
If necessary, loosen build-up with a clean, soft cloth after soaking. Do not use a stiff
brush; you may roughen the surface of the dispenser.
Rinse and reassemble dispenser. Place dispenser back on the agitator.

Loading and using the washer.
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
Sorting Wash Loads
Proper Use of Detergent
Add detergent as the wash basket fills with water,
before you load clothes. Using too much detergent
can be a common cause of laundry problems.
Today’s detergents are formulated to be effective
without highly visible sudsing. Be sure to carefully
read and follow manufacturer’s recommendations
for how much detergent to use in your wash.
You can use less detergent if you have soft water,
a smaller load, or a lightly soiled load.
Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top
row of holes in the washer tub. When loading
wet items make sure you set the load/water level
high enough to allow the items to move freely.
Water level should just cover the clothes. To add
items after washer has started, push in Cycle
Dial and submerge additional items next to the
agitator. Close the lid and pull Cycle Dial out
to restart.
■
Do not wrap long items like sheets and pants
around the agitator.
■
Do not wash fabrics containing flammable
materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
■
Water will fill and pump out of the washer and the
timer will advance with the lid up, but as a safety
precaution the washer will not agitate or spin.
Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level,
fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates),
and whether the fabric produces lint (terry cloth,
chenille), or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy).
