Before Operating Your Washer

Read your washer Owner's Guide. It contains important

safety and warranty information. It also contains many suggestions for obtaining the best results from your washer.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in your washer Owner's Guide before operating this appliance.

Operating Steps

1. Sort laundry into loads that can be washed

together.

Printed in U. S. A.

2. Prepare items for washing.

3. Pretreat stains and heavy soil.

4. Add the measured amount of detergent to the

washer before adding the laundry load.

5. If desired, add liquid bleach to the Bleach Dispenser.

6. Add the laundry load to the wash tub.

7. If desired, add liquid fabric softener to the Fabric

Softener Dispenser.

8. Set washer controls according to type, size, and soil level of each load:

Wash/Rinse Temperature Agitate/Spin Speed Load Size

See Controls and the Control Settings Chart (reverse side) for more information on suggested water temperatures, agitate/spin speeds, and water level.

9. Push in the cycle selector knob and turn it

clockwise to the desired wash cycle. See Cycle Selection for cycle descriptions and the Control Settings Chart for suggested cycle settings.

10. Start the washer by closing the lid and pulling out the cycle selector knob. The washer will

operate with the lid open; however, the tub will not spin unless the lid is closed. To stop the washer, push in the cycle selector knob. To change a cycle, push in the cycle selector knob and turn it clockwise to the desired setting. Pull out the knob to restart washer.

11. Remove items when the cycle is completed. As a safety measure, the lid will AUTOMATICALLY LOCK during the spin portion of each cycle. The lid will automatically unlock approximately 1 minute after the tub stops spinning.

Cycle Selection

For best results, follow the fabric care label directions on items to be washed. Check the Control Settings Chart if the care label is not available.

The Regular, Perm Press and Knits & Delicates cycles provide a spray rinse during the first spin, followed by a deep rinse and a final spin.

Regular Cycle

Up to 15 minutes of wash agitation for most fabrics.

Cycle Selection (continued)

Perm Press Cycle

Up to 12 minutes of wash agitation for cottons and blends with a no-iron finish.

Knits & Delicates Cycle

Six minutes of wash agitation for the gentle care of knit and delicate items.

Controls

Select the desired control settings according to load size, fabric type and degree of soiling. See Control Settings Chart below or Washing Procedures in your Owner's Guide for detailed information on choosing control settings.

WASH/RINSE TEMPERATURE determines water temperatures for washing and rinsing.

AGITATE/SPIN SPEED determines speeds for the agitation and spin portions of each cycle.

LOAD SIZE determines the amount of wash and rinse water used for the wash load. To increase the water level after the wash cycle begins, turn the Load Size control to Reset and hold. When water begins to enter the tub, turn the control to the desired setting.

Soak & Prewash Cycle

• Soak — The Soak setting can be used to treat heavily soiled or stained items. It provides 2 minutes of agitation and 12 minutes of soaking time, then advances to the Prewash portion of the cycle. Use the amount of detergent recommended for a normal wash cycle. For colorfast items, bleach or a soaking agent may also be used. Follow manufacturer's directions on the product label.

• Prewash — When soaking is not necessary, the

Prewash setting can be used alone to help remove

protein-based stains such as milk, grass and blood and to help loosen soils before washing. During Prewash, the washer will agitate the load for 2 minutes, then drain, spin and shut off. Use the amount of detergent and other laundry products recommended for a normal wash cycle.

Note:

• The Soak water temperature is the same as the

rinse water temperature selected; the Prewash water temperature is the same as the wash water temperature selected. To avoid setting protein stains, select cold water.

• Select wash/spin speeds appropriate for the items

being soaked or prewashed.

• Soak and Prewash should always be followed by

a complete wash cycle using the recommended amount of detergent.
