Important Safety Instructions
Read all instructions before using this washer.
To reduce the risk of fire, 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.
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 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 washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen
gas is flammable; do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or
damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the washer.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this
or any other appliance.
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 lid to prevent
accidental entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Note: The instructions appearing in this
Owner's Guide are not meant to cover
every possible condition and situation that
may occur. Common sense and caution
must be practiced when installing, operating
and maintaining any appliance.
Prevent Injury
To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the washer must be
installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person in accordance with local codes.
Installation instructions are packed in the washer for installer's reference. Refer to INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. If the washer is moved to a new location, have it
checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the washer, the electrical power cord of the
washer must be plugged into a properly grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding
prong must never be removed. Never ground the washer to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension
cord or an adaptor plug.
Follow package directions when using laundry products. Incorrect usage can produce
poisonous gas--resulting in serious injury or death.
• Do not combine laundry products for use in 1 load unless specified on the label.
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar.
To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the washer:
• All repairs and servicing must be performed by an authorized servicer unless specifically
recommended in this Owner's Guide. Use only authorized factory parts.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.
ALWAYS disconnect the washer from the electrical supply before attempting any service
or cleaning. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or injury.
To prevent injury, do not reach into the washer while parts are moving. Before loading,
unloading or adding items, push in the cycle selector knob and allow the tub to coast to a complete stop
before reaching inside.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
This washer is equipped with an electrical overload protector. The motor will stop if it becomes
overheated. The washer will automatically restart after a cool down period of up to 30 minutes, if the
washer has not been manually turned off during this time.

Washing Procedures
Sort laundry into loads that can be
washed together.
• Follow the guidelines below for preparing the wash load.
• Read the Operating Instructions card for operating your specific model.
• Always read and follow fabric care and laundry product labels.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, read
Important Safety Instructions, pages 2-3, before operating this washer.
1. Sort laundry into loads that can be washed together.
Sort items by recommended water temperatures, wash time, and agitate/spin
speeds.
• Separate white, light, and colorfast items from dark and noncolorfast items.
• Separate items which shed lint from items which attract lint. Permanent
press, 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 and loosely knit items from sturdy items.
2. Prepare items for washing.

• Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach towels.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove nonwashable
trims and ornaments.
• Remove pins, decorative buttons, belt buckles, and other objects which
could be damaged. This also helps protect other items in the wash load.
• Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage during washing.
• Place delicate items such as bras, shoulder pads, hosiery, and belts in a mesh
bag to prevent tangling during the wash cycle.
• Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.
Empty pockets.
Place delicate items in a mesh bag.

See Stain Removal, pages 6-7, for details.
4. Add a measured amount of detergent to the wash tub
before adding the laundry load.
Follow detergent manufacturer's directions. The amount required depends on
type of detergent, load size and soil level, and water hardness.
5. If desired, add liquid bleach to Bleach Dispenser (some models).
• Before adding the wash load, add liquid bleach to bleach dispenser located
in left front corner under the lid:
• 3/4 cup (180 ml) for small loads
• 1 cup (240 ml) for large loads
• 1-1/4 cups (300 ml) for extra-large loads.
• Then add 1 cup (240 ml) water to flush the dispenser.
• Do not use powdered bleach in the bleach dispenser.
For models without a bleach dispenser, dilute the recommended amount of
liquid chlorine bleach in 1 quart (.95 L) water. Add it to wash water after
a few minutes of agitation. Do not pour bleach directly on wash load.
