WARNING! FIRE HAZARD

Do 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.

Do not wash articles which have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, oil, waxes, chemical solvents, alcohol, turpentine, or other flammable or explosive materials. These substances will be retained in articles, and articles which still contain these flammable or explosive substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washer, turn on all the hot water faucets and let the water flow from each faucet for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As this gas is flammable, during this time.

Recent studie contaminated materials are incompletely washed, a carry-over and buildup of the oil may contribute to a chemical reaction (spontaneous combustion) that could cause a load to catch fire by itself. This would be more likely to happen if the load were left in the dryer after tumbling stopped or if items were folded and stacked while warm.

Cleaning the Interior

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

To clean and freshen the washer interior:

1. Make a solution of one cup chlorine bleach and two cups warm water. Be careful not to spill or splash the bleach solution.

Care & Cleaning

Cleaning the Dispenser

The dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to laundry additive build-up. For easy clean-up of the dispenser, grasp the removable two-compartment container (for bleach and softener) as shown in illustration 1. As you begin to lift the two-compartment container, tilt slightly inward, according to illustration 2 and remove from the main dispenser.

Once the two-compartment container is removed from the main dispenser, take it to a sink. Follow illustration 3 to remove the cap covering the siphon tube for the bleach and softener. Run warm water and a soft brush or cloth over the two parts to remove any excess laundry additives.

Clean the main dispenser area using water and a soft cloth. Once the main dispenser is clean, follow the illustrations in reverse order to replace the two compartment container to its original location.

Note: Do not use any cleaning substance but water in the main dispenser. It is possible for cleaning substances to drain into the tub. If this should happen, set the washer for a rinse and spin cycle to remove any cleaning substance from the washer before doing a load of laundry

Special Features

Detergent

Your washer is designed to use either high-efficiency (HE) detergents or regular detergents normally used with top-loading washers.

• For best cleaning results, use a high-efficiency detergent such as Tide HE or Wisk HE*. Highefficiency detergents contain suds suppressors which reduce or eliminate suds. When less suds are produced, the load tumbles more efficiently and cleaning results are maximized.

• When using regular detergent formulated for toploading washers, it is impor attention to the soil level of the load, load size, and water hardness**.

Detergent Compartment

1. Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the detergent compartment before starting the washer or as it is filling.

Automatic Dispenser

The automatic dispenser consists of three compartments which hold 1) liquid or granular detergent and color safe bleach, 2) liquid chlorine bleach and 3) liquid fabric softener. All laundry products can be added at once in their respective dispenser compartments. They will be dispensed at the appropriate time for most effective cleaning.

Special Features

Bleach Compartment

(Liquid Chlorine Bleach Only)

1. Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. Do not

exceed the MAX FILL line. The liquid chlorine

bleach compartment will hold 3/4 of a cup.

2. Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment.

Over-filling the compartment will release the liquid chlorine bleach into the washer too early.

3. The washer automatically dispenses bleach into the tub at the appropriate time in the wash cycle.

4. The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches the wash load.

Notes:

• Neverpour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach

directly onto the load or into the tub. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the fibers or color loss, if not used properly.

• If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine bleach, add it to the detergent compartment.

not pour color-safe bleach into the bleach compartment.

Softener Compartment

1. Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the softener compartment. For smaller loads use less than one capful.

2. Fabric softener should be diluted with warm water until it reaches the MAX FILL line on the compartment.

line. If the compartment is filled above the MAX FILL line, fabric softener will enter the washer too early.

3. This compartment automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the rinse cycle.

Notes:

• Use the softener compartment only for liquid fabric softeners.

• Using the Downy Ball* is not recommended with this washer. It will not add fabric softener at the appropriate time. Use the dispenser on top of the washer

Do not fill above the MAX FILL

Storing the Washer

Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare the washer for storage as follows:

•

If the washer has been stored in below-freezing

temperatures, allow time for any water left over in the washer to thaw out prior to use.

• Select the cup of bleach to the detergent dispenser without clothes in the tumbler. Run the washer through a complete cycle.

• Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet

hoses.

• Disconnect the washer from the electrical supply

and leave the washer door open to let air circulate inside the tumbler.

Reversing the Door

Washer door swing direction can be changed using the following procedure:

1. Swing door fully open and support it while removing four hinge screws (which hold hinges to door assembly).

2. Move the door to a work surface and transfer four door screws to the opposite side of the door assembly.

3. Remove one screw holding top hinge to cabinet and one screw holding top hinge cover to cabinet (opposite side).

4. Remove hinge and bracket from cabinet by moving them up and down to a position where they are released.

Questions and Answers

Q. What’s the best cycle to use if I have stains on my laundry? A.

Select the Presoak option pad and Heavy Soil (see page 4) setting. Pretreat the stains with a laundry pretreat product.

Q. How large of a load can I wash in my washer? A.

The tub can be loaded completely full with dry, unfolded clothes. However, do not pack the tub tightly. If the load is heavily soiled it is very important not to overload the washer.

Q. At the end of the cycle my load comes out wetter than normal. What causes this?

During tumble and spin the washer may have had difficulty getting to a full spin speed because the load was

not evenly distributed. This can occur with small loads, heavy items or a load in which too much detergent was used, causing over-sudsing.

My laundry items seem to be v problem?

A. Wrinkling is caused by the combination of heat and pressure. Be sure wrinkle-free or permanent press

fabrics are washed on the Temperature).
