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
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 injuryto 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 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.
[] 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" located in the installation
instructions for grounding instructions.

Select the setting most suitable for your load. Small will
add a low amount of water for smaller loads and Super

Items need to move freely. Tightly packing can lead to poor
cleaning performance, and may increase wrinkling and
tangling.
WASH TEMPERATURE
Wash Temperature senses and maintains uniform
water temperatures by regulating incoming hot and
cold water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results and following
the garment label instructions, use the warmest wash
water safe for your fabric.
• Warm and hot water will be cooler than what your
previous washer provided.
• Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm water
may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.

J
USING YOUR WASHER
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.
• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the agitator and become trapped, causing
unexpected sounds.
• Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled items.
• Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
• Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because
heat can set stains into fabric.
• Treat stains promptly.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
• Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
during washing.
Helpful Tips:
= When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load
evenly.
• Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when washing
delicate or small items.
• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from
lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up
lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to
avoid damage to your garments.
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.
Add detergent
Add a measured amount of detergent into the bottom of the
washer basket before adding clothes. If using an Oxi or
color-safe bleach laundry boost product, add to the bottom
of the washer basket, as well.
IMPORTANT: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use.
6
Load laundry into washer
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around basket wall.
For best results, do not pack the load tightly. Do not wrap large
items such as sheets around the agitator; load them in loose
piles around the sides of the basket. Try mixing different-sized
items to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack or force items into washer.
Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce
wrinkling and tangling.
(on some models)
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric
softener into dispenser; always follow
manufacturer's directions for correct amount
of fabric softener based on your load size.
Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser with warm
water until liquid reaches the underside of the rim. See max fill
line arrows. Then select Fabric Softener Added - One Rinse
option or Fabric Softener Added - 2nd Rinse option.
IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener Added option must be selected to
ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle.
Adding Liquid Fabric Softener Manually to Wash Load
During the final rinse, wait until the washer has completed filling,
press the START/Pause/Unlock button to pause the washer. Lift
the lid and add the measured recommended amount of liquid
fabric softener. Do not allow liquid fabric softener to spill, splash,
drip, or run into the basket or on load. Do not use more than
the recommended amount. Close the lid and press the START/
Pause/Unlock button again to start the washer.
