IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
• Do not continue to use the washer if you hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This
could be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to
fi re or serious injury. Contact a qualifi ed technician
immediately.
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
Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds from your
new washer:
A. DRAIN HOSE The washer has a fl exible drain hose
to carry water from the washer to the stand pipe of
your home. You will hear water fl owing into your stand
pipe. This is a normal part of the operation of the
washer.
B. WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters
the dispenser system, it is common to hear a water
fl owing sound. This normal sound will vary slightly
based on the water pressure in your home.
C. DRAIN PUMP Your washer is equipped with a high
velocity drain pump. It is normal to hear humming and
gurgling sounds as water is pumped from the washer.
Both of these sounds are normal and indicate that
your pump is functioning correctly.
D. HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used to
drive the drum to high spin speeds to extract water
from your load. You will hear a sound associated with
these higher spin speeds. This sound is normal and
will vary slightly as the spin speed varies with load size
and cycle selected.

5 Add laundry products to the dispenser.
For best results
Use a low-sudsing, high effi ciency detergent to
prevent oversudsing in front load washers. Look
for this symbol on the detergent label:
Detergent, liquid chlorine bleach and liquid fabric softener will be dispensed at the proper times in the cycle.
IMPORTANT
Open and close the dispenser drawer slowly. Closing
the drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing
of the bleach or fabric softener.
Liquid or Powder Detergent
• Use the cap or scoop provided by the detergent
manufacturer to measure the amount recommended.
• Detergent dosage may need to be adjusted for
water temperature, water hardness, load size and
soil level.

and enzyme products may be added with the detergent. Put liquid products with liquid detergent in the
“DETERGENT WASH” chamber or powder products with
powder detergent in the “DETERGENT WASH” chamber.
IMPORTANT
Do not mix liquids and powders.
IMPORTANT
Use of multi-product (detergent plus softener) sheets
or color-absorbing sheets NOT recommended. They
could disable your machine and result in unwarranted
repair costs.
NOTE
From time to time you may see water in the “LIQUID
BLEACH” and “FABRIC SOFTENER” chambers. This is
part of the normal operation of the washer.
Liquid Chlorine Bleach
• If desired, add liquid chlorine bleach to the chamber labeled “LIQUID BLEACH” and marked with this
symbol
• Fill to the MIN line for small loads or the MAX line
for large loads.
• DO NOT fi ll above the maximum fi ll line.
.
IMPORTANT
To prevent fabric damage, do not overfi ll the “LIQUID
BLEACH” chamber or pour liquid chlorine bleach
directly onto the load.
• Add color-safe bleach with the detergent.
Liquid Fabric Softener
• If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid
fabric softener into the chamber labeled “FABRIC
SOFTENER” and marked with this symbol
• Fill to the MIN line for small loads or the MAX line
for large loads.
• DO NOT fi ll above the maximum fi ll line.

STAIN REMOVAL GUIDE
Safe Stain Removal Procedures
To reduce the risk of fi re or serious injury to persons or
property, comply with the basic warnings listed below:
• Read and comply with all instructions on stain
removal products.
• Keep stain removal products in their original labeled
containers and out of children’s reach.
• Thoroughly wash any utensils used.
• Do not combine stain removal products, especially
ammonia and chlorine bleach. Dangerous fumes can
result.
• Never wash items which have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other fl ammable
or explosive substances because they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
• Never use highly fl ammable solvents, such as gaso-
line, inside the home. Vapors can explode on contact
with fl ames or sparks.
For Successful Stain Removal:
• Remove stains promptly.
• Determine the kind of stain, then follow the recommended treatment in the stain removal chart on the
next page.
• To pretreat stains, use a prewash product, liquid
detergent, or a paste made from powder detergent
and water.
• Use cold water on unknown stains as hot water can
set stains.
• Consult care label instructions for treatments to avoid
on specifi c fabrics.
• Check for colorfastness by testing stain remover
products on an inside seam.
• Rinse and wash items after stain removal.
WARNING
Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach with other
household chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust
removers, acid or products containing ammonia. These
mixtures can produce dangerous fumes which can
cause serious injury or death.

and lower parts of the recess.
• Replace the insert by pressing it in place until you hear

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.

CARE AND CLEANING
Inside Cleaning (Aggressive)
In cases where the 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 detergent compartment. Select clean
washer cycle as described previously in
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.
