WASHERSAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages inthis 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 immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
[]
Read all instructions before using the washer.
[]
Do not wash articles that have been previouslycleaned
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. []
[]
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.
[]
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 the 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used
near children.
Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door or lid.
Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is
moving.
Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to
the weather.
[]
Do not tamper with controls.
[]
Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in
published user-repair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.
[] See "Electrical Requirements" for grounding instructions.

Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including cooking oils}.
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
1.
Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add
powdered or liquid color safe bleach. Drop a sorted load of
clothes loosely into your washer.
[] Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and
small items. Items should move easily through the wash
water. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
2.
(OPTIONAL) Add liquid chlorine bleach.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer's directions for proper use.
Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it touches. The
damage appears as rips, holes, tears, or color loss and may
not show up until several washings later. To avoid spilling, use
a cup with a pouring spout. Do not let bleach splash, drip, or
run down into the washer basket. Always measure liquid
chlorine bleach. Do not guess. Do not use more than the
manufacturer's recommended amount for afull load. Use less
with a smaller load size.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Style 1: With chlorine bleach dispenser (on some models)
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser. Pour
measured liquid chlorine bleach into the liquid chlorine
bleach dispenser. Bleach is immediately fed into washer
and is diluted automatically during the wash part of the
cycle.
Style 2: Without chlorine bleach dispenser (on some models)
[] Let the washer fill and begin agitating the load.
[]
Add bleach 5 minutes into the wash cycle for best
cleaning and so that bleach can be removed in the rinse
cycle. Pour bleach around the agitator, not directly onto
the load.
3=
(OPTIONAL) Add liquid fabric softener.
NOTE: Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the
clothes. Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics. Always
dilute fabric softener with warm water. Too much fabric
softener can make some items (diapers and towels)
nonabsorbent. If this happens, do not use it every load, or
use less of it in each load.
Style 1: With liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some
models)
[]
Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. Pour
measured liquid fabric softener into the dispenser.
Softener is added automatically during the rinse portion
of the cycle. Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the
dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches the
crossbar in the dispenser opening.
Style 2: Without liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some
models)
[] In the final rinse ONLY, add fabric softener that has been
diluted with 250 mL warm water.
4=
Close the washer lid. Washer will not agitate or spin with the
lid open.
5. Turn the LOAD SiZE or WATER LEVEL selector to the correct
setting for your wash load and the type of fabric being
washed. You may change the load size or water level
selection after the washer has started filling by turning the
selector to a different setting.
6. Set the TEMPERATURE selector to the correct setting for the
type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest wash
water safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C)
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to
remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have
increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the
surface of garments).
7. (OPTIONAL) EXTRA RINSE selector (on some models). For an
additional rinse and spin at the end of a wash cycle, set the
EXTRA RINSE selector to ON. On some models, the EXTRA
RINSE feature is part of the cycle.
8. (OPTIONAL) Some models have an END OF CYCLE SIGNAL
selector. Set this selector to ON if you want your washer to
alert you when the wash cycle is complete.
9. Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to the
wash cycle you want. Reduce the wash time when using a
small load size setting. Pull out the Cycle Control knob to
start the washer.
To stop or restart your washer:
[] To stop the washer at any time, push in the Cycle
Control knob.
[] To restart the washer, close the lid (if open) and pull out
the Cycle Control knob.
WASHERCARE
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as
detergent or bleach from the outside of your washer.
Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine
bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent. Pour this mixture into
your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot water.
Repeat this process if necessary.
Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as
washer safe.
Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some models):
1. Remove dispenser by grasping top with both hands and
squeezing, while pushing upward with thumbs.
2. Rinse dispenser under warm water, then replace it.
NOTE: Some models are equipped with a liquid fabric softener
dispenser. To avoid damage to the washer or clothing, do not
wash clothes with the liquid fabric softener dispenser removed or
add detergent or bleach to this dispenser; it is for liquid fabric
softener only.
This washer does not include water inlet hoses. Whirlpool
Corporation recommends use of factory specified parts. A list of
factory specified hoses available for separate purchase are listed
on the first page of this user instructions. These hoses are
manufactured and tested to meet Whirlpool Corporation's
specifications.
Replace water inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the
risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace water inlet
hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your water inlet hoses, mark the date of
replacement on the label with a permanent marker.
Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage
your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing
weather, winterize it.
Winterizing your washer
1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet
hoses. Pour 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze into the basket.
2. Run washer on a drain and spin setting for about 30 seconds
to mix the antifreeze and remaining water.
3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
2. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
TROUBLESHOOTING
3. Run the washer through a complete cycle with 1 cup (250 mL)
of detergent to clean out antifreeze.
Storage, non-use, or vacation care
Operate your washer only when you are at home. if you will be on
vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time,
you should:
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid
flooding (due to awater pressure surge) while you are away.
