WASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These

words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

DANGER

immediately follow instructions.

WARNING

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

n Read all instructions before using the appliance. n Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in,

washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

n 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.

n Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced

in a hot-water system that has not been used for 2 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, turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

n Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

n Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded,

remove the door.

n Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is

moving.

n Do not install or store this appliance where it will be

exposed to the weather.

n Do not tamper with controls. n Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt

any servicing unless specifically recommended in the usermaintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

n Do not use replacement parts that have not been

recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).

n See the Installation Instructions for grounding requirements

and installation.

WARNING

Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing. Service Personnel – Do not contact the thermostat bracket while the appliance is energized.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

In some European factories the letter "W" of the part code mentioned herein will be automatically

replaced by the number "4000" (e.g. "W12345678" becomes "400012345678")

CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component malfunction and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They should hold soil in suspension so it is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled as High Efficiency are identical in formulation and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds. Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use. Do not go over the Max Line on the dispenser. See Quick Start Guide for more information.

WASHER MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Water Inlet Hoses

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses: n Mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent

marker.

n Check that the old washers are not stuck on the washer inlet

valves.

n Use new washers in the new inlet hoses to ensure a proper

seal.

NOTE: This washer may not include inlet hoses. See the Installation Instructions for more information.

Washer Care

Recommendations to help keep your washer clean and performing at its best

1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE

detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended amount because that may increase the rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.

2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not

exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.

3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry

out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing residue.

Cleaning your top-loading washer

Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer.

Cleaning the inside of the washer

To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions provided above and use this recommended monthly cleaning procedure:

Recommended cycle for cleaning the asher

Some models have a “Clean Washer” cycle that uses higher water volumes in combination with affresh chlorine bleach to clean the inside of the washer.

If your model does not have a “Clean Washer” cycle, refer to the online Cycle Guide for the optimal cycle for cleaning the inside of the washer. Use this cycle with affresh chlorine bleach as described below.

Washer Cleaner or liquid

Description of Clean Washer with affresh®cycle operation:

1. This cycle will fill to a washer level high than in normal wash

cycles to provide rinsing than in normal wash cycles to provide rinsing at a level above the water line for normal wash.

2. During this cycle, there will be some agitation and spinning to

increase the removal of soils.

After this cycle is complete, leave the lid open to allow for better ventilation and drying of the washer interior.

Begin procedure

1. Affresh®washer cleaner cycle procedure (recommended for best performance):

a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items. b. Place an affresh

d. Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the washer

when following this procedure. e. Close the washer lid. f. Select the cycle recommended for cleaning the inside of

the washer. g. Press the Start button to start the cycle.

NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must be interrupted, press Power/Cancel. (For models with no Power/ Cancel button, press and hold Start/Pause for three seconds.) After the cycle has stopped, run a Rinse & Spin cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.

2. Chlorine bleach procedure (alternative):

a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items. b. Add 1 cup (236 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach

compartment.

NOTE: Use of more liquid chlorine bleach than is

recommended above could cause washer damage over

time. c. Close the washer lid. d. Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the washer

when following this procedure. e. Select the cycle recommended for cleaning the inside of

the washer. f. Press the Start button to start the cycle.
