WARNING

To reduce the risk of ﬁ re, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this washer, comply with the basic warnings listed below. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries. You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow these Important Safety Instructions:

PREVENT FIRE

• Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the washer. These substances give off vapors or chemical reactions that could ignite or explode.

• Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the washer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite the materials.

• Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other ﬂ ammable 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 washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water ﬂ ow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is ﬂ ammable; do not smoke or use an open ﬂ ame during this time.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other ﬂ ammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in ﬁ re, explosion, serious bodily injury and/ or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the washer.

PROTECT CHILDREN

• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.

• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the washer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.

• Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.

• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the washer door to prevent accidental entrapment.

• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

Operating Instructions

Operating Your Washer, continued

OPERATING YOUR WASHER

1. Sort laundry into loads that can be washed together.

• Sort

items by

recommended cycle and water temperature.

• Separate white, light and colorfast items

from dark and non-colorfast items. Separate items that shed lint from items that attract lint. Casual, synthetic, knit, and corduroy items will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille bedspreads.

• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly

soiled items.

• Separate lacy, sheer, loosely knit, or delicate

items from durable items.

• Do not machine wash items containing ﬁ ber-

glass. Small particles of ﬁ berglass left in the drum may transfer to fabrics in other loads and cause skin irritation.

2. Prepare items for washing.

• Empty pockets.

3. Pretreat stains

4. Add laundry load to washer.

• Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.

• Place delicate and small items such as bras, hosiery and baby socks in a mesh bag.

(Mesh bag not included.)

and heavy soil.

• See Stain Removal Guide in this guide for safe, successful stain removal instructions.

• Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach towels.

• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove non-washable trims and ornaments.

• Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage during washing.

• Combine large and small items in a load.

• Load large items ﬁ rst. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.

• Washing single items such as a sweater, towel or jeans is inefﬁ cient and may cause an out-of-balance load. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance the load.

• Wash a single heavy item such as a kingsized comforter, bedspread or sleeping bag separately.

• The washer can be fully loaded, but the items should not be tightly packed. The door should close easily.

To change the selection after the cycle begins, press cancel before making another choice. Just turning the knob to another selection will not change the cycle.

NORMAL

Use this load for cotton, linen, towels, shirts, sheets, denims and mixed loads.

COLORS

Use this cycle for lightly soiled, dark, or highly dyed fabrics such as cotton which may be susceptible to dye loss.

WHITES

Use this cycle for white fabrics and lightly colored clothing. Refer to fabric care label for use of liquid chlorine bleach.

HEAVY DUTY

Use this cycle for heavily soiled, durable garments

- ex. towels, sports gear, or fabric tote bags. For best soil and stain removal, use the hottest water safe for the fabrics being washed.

DEEP CLEAN SANITIZE

Use the deep clean sanitize cycle to clean and sanitize heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics including towels, bedding, and children’s clothing.

It is recommended that you set your water heater to 120° F (49° C) or higher to ensure proper performance during this cycle. If the setting is lower or the load is extra large, the cycle time will be extended by 30 minutes or more.

The deep clean sanitize cycle will kill 99.9% of bacteria with no carryover of bacteria between loads. No bleach or harsh chemicals are needed, but higher temperatures are required. Please check fabric care labels to prevent damage.

NOTE

Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of NSF P172 protocol for sanitization efﬁ cacy.

NSF Protocol P172 Sanitization Performance of Residential and Commercial, Family-Sized Clothes Washers

The wash water is heated by an internal boost heater to a maximum of 152° F (67° C) as the load tumbles. Cold water is added to cool down the load prior to drain and spin.

NOTE

If the voltage at your outlet is under 110 v, the internal heater may not adequately heat the wash water. If the cycle is interrupted while the water is heating, the ﬁ nal temperature of the wash water may be lower and sanitation may be reduced.

As a precaution, the washer door is locked once the water temperature reaches 130° F (55° C). If the cycle is cancelled during the wash phase and the water temperature is greater than 150° F (66° C), an automatic cool down and drain will occur before the door can be opened.

SANITIZE

This setting sanitizes heavily soiled colorfast fabrics such as towels, bedding, and children’s clothing by killing 99.9% of bacteria using wash water heated with a boost heater to 152° F (67° C). Cold water is used to cool and rinse the load. This setting is only available with the deep clean sanitize cycle.

HOT

Use this setting for heavily soiled white or colorfast cottons and blends.

WARM

Use this setting for normally soiled white or colorfast cottons or blends.

COLD

Use this setting for lightly soiled non-colorfast items, knits, delicates, and hand washables.

ECO COLD

Wash and rinse temperatures are equivalent to temperature of cold tap supply. Use this selection for fabrics and colors that are prone to dye transfer. For use with cold water detergents.

Spin Speed

Max, high, medium, and low spin speeds are

available for each cycle. The spin speed and/or duration of ﬁ nal spin vary from cycle to cycle.

Increasing the spin speed will extract more water, decrease drying time and conserve energy. Decreasing the spin speed will reduce wrinkling.

Use no spin to omit the ﬁ nal spin at the end of the cycle. The load will be very wet. Remove items from the wash drum to drip dry or select the rinse & spin cycle to remove excess water at a more convenient time.

Soil Level

Adjust the wash time in 3-minute increments based on the soil level of each load. Extra heavy, heavy, medium, light and extra light soil levels are available.

See step 5 in “Operating Your Washer” section in this guide for details on adding detergent to the dispenser.

STAIN CLEAN

Use the stain clean option to add a 5-minute soak in the middle of the wash portion of the

heavy duty, whites, colors, normal, casual, and delicate cycles.

FRESH RINSE

Use this option when additional rinsing is desired to remove excess dirt and detergent. It is recommended for heavily soiled loads or if household members have sensitive skin.

EXTRA SPIN

Use this option to add minutes to the ﬁ nal spin at the selected spin speed. This will improve water extraction, decrease drying time and save energy.

ECO FRIENDLY

The eco friendly option reduces the hot and warm water temperature a few degrees to save energy.

CHIME

A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if this option is selected.

ENTRAPMENT and TIP-OVER HAZARD

An open door could entice children to hang on the door or crawl inside the washer. If there are no small children present, you may leave the door ajar to prevent mildew and odor build up.

Care & Cleaning

CYCLE A

TO REFRESH OR CLEAN INSIDE OF WASHER

To clean and freshen the washer, perform the

SYSTEM CLEAN cycle. For best results use the SYSTEM CLEAN cycle once a month. To begin the

cycle, press select when prompted during automated reminder mode or manually select the cycle by following these directions:

1. Wake up the washer by pressing any button, rotate cycle knob to cycle “A” (indicated to right), press the start button and then the cancel button.

2. Wake up the washer again by pressing any button, then immediately and simultaneously press and hold both button “1” and button “2” (indicated to right) for 5 seconds, or until the LCD display changes.

IMPORTANT

Items left in washer while performing the SYSTEM CLEAN cycle will cause a severe out-of-balance situation that could damage the washing machine.

If installed, remove the “MAIN WASH - LIQUID

ONLY” cup from the dispenser. REMOVE ALL ITEMS FROM WASH DRUM before ﬁ lling the “MAIN WASH” detergent chamber with one (1) cup of liquid

chlorine bleach OR one (1) pouch of TIDE® WASHING MACHINE CLEANER. DO NOT use both. Press

start to begin.

For best results

Immediately follow up with a spin only cycle. Select fresh rinse on max spin

speed with no detergent or bleach to help clear any residual bleach left after the SYSTEM CLEAN cycle.

Other Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventive)

CLEANING DISPENSER DRAWER AREA

NOTE

Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the dispenser drawer. Residue should be removed once or twice a month.

• Remove the drawer by pulling the drawer out until it stops.

• Reach back into the left rear corner of the drawer cavity and press down ﬁ rmly on the lock tab. Pull out the drawer.

• Remove the insert from the prewash, bleach, and fabric softener compartments.

• Rinse the drawer and inserts with hot tap water to remove traces of accumulated powders and liquids. Large amounts of fabric softener residue may indicate improper dilution or more frequent cleaning is required.

• To clean the drawer opening, use a small brush to clean the recess. Remove all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess.

• Replace the insert by pressing it in place until you hear a slight click. Return the dispenser drawer.

DAILY PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

• Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle ends. Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and odors may develop in items left in the washer.

• If there are no small children or pets present, you may leave the door ajar when the washer is not in use.

• Leave the dispenser drawer open slightly at the end of the wash day.

• Dry around the washer door opening, ﬂ exible gasket, and door glass. These areas should always be clean to ensure a water tight seal.

• When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue may remain on the drum. Remove this by wiping the drum with a nonabrasive household cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water.

• Periodically, wipe dry the folds in the bottom of the ﬂ exible gasket to remove lint and other debris.

Page 21

Inside Cleaning (Aggressive)

In cases where CLEAN WASHER cycle along with care and cleaning of rubber gasket folds isn’t done, and severe odor, mold, mildew, or residue buildup have developed, follow the below cleaning procedure to help alleviate the problem.

CLEANING PROCEDURE - Washer Drum

Ensure the wash tub is empty (or no clothes load). Open the detergent drawer and pour eight (8) cups of bleach into the “MAIN WASH” detergent compartment. Select SYSTEM CLEAN cycle as described previously in Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventive).

Upon cycle completion inspect the interior of the washer to see if the odor/residue has been eliminated. If any additional cleaning is required, repeat the above procedure. This may take several cycles depending on the severity of the odor/residue. You may observe some remaining discoloration due to the long term effects of this residue.

For especially contaminated areas visible inside the drum (including the front rubber seal), these areas might be more effectively cleaned by spraying a Bleach Cleaner on a scrub brush, soft sponge, or towel and scrubbing.
