IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

 

To reduce the risk of death, fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury to persons when using

WARNING

your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

 

ŶDO NOT wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

ŶDO NOT place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of the tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

ŶDO 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.

ŶUnder 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 a 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.

ŶDO NOT allow children to play on or in this appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when this appliance is used near children. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door and lid to the drying and washing compartments. Failure to follow these instructions may result in death or injury to persons.

ŶDO NOT reach into the appliance if the drum, tub or agitator is moving to prevent accidental entanglement.

ŶDO NOT dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

ŶClean lint screen before or after each load.

ŶDO NOT operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.

ŶFollow all fabric care instructions and warnings to prevent melting of garments or damage to the appliance.

ŶDO NOT use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

ŶDO NOT store combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable liquids near the dryer. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

ŶThe interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

ŶDO NOT install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

ŶDO NOT tamper with controls.

ŶDO NOT repair or replace any part of this appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user maintenance instructions or in published user repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

ŶDO NOT operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts including a damaged cord or plug.

ŶUnplug the appliance or turn off the circuit breaker before servicing. Pressing the Power or Start/Pause button DOES NOT disconnect power.

ŶDO NOT spray any type of aerosol into, on or near appliance, at any time. DO NOT use any type of spray cleaner when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.

ŶDO NOT store items that may burn or melt (such as clothing, paper material, plastics or plastic containers, etc.) on top of the appliance nor hang them from the door.

ŶDO NOT climb on or stand on this unit.

ŶSee “ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INFORMATION” located in the Installation Instructions for grounding instructions.

NOTE: If the Status lights are blinking, the operation of the washer has been paused. To resume operation press the Start button (the lid must be closed).

D Temperature

Select the water temperature for the washer cycle (all rinses use cold water). Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label or instructions when laundering.

Tap Cold* uses incoming tap water, which can provide energy savings. For all other temperature selections, a mixture of hot and cold water is used to achieve the ideal temperature for each temperature setting.

*Please note that some detergents do not fully dissolve in very cold water. If you experience this, it is recommended you choose a setting other than Tap Cold.

E Load Size (on some models) Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer basket.

Precise Fill - This selection automatically provides the correct amount of water suited to the size and type of load placed in the unit.

If you prefer to manually select the water level, select Small through Super. While Precise

Fill is best for most loads and general washing, you may want to manually select the load size for specialty items such as bulky, lightweight comforters or pillows, where you want to ensure a larger water level is applied. Manual load size selections should be made for wet items placed in the washer, such as soaked towels or garments.

F Options (on some models)

Pre-Soak 15 mins. - This option begins with a brief agitation, soaks for this specified period

of time, then moves through the rest of the cycle automatically.

2nd Rinse - When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, use the 2nd Rinse option to better remove additional residues.

Pre-Soak + 2nd Rinse - Turns both options on. Off - Turns these options off.

G Start

Press Start to begin the cycle. With the lid closed pressing Start again will pause the cycle and Status lights will blink. To continue the cycle, close the lid and press Start again. The water fill will continue with the lid opened, except when Precise Fill (on some models) is selected as the load size. The lid must be closed to continue filling when Precise Fill (on some models) is selected.

If the lid is opened during the cycle, the cycle will pause and the Status lights will blink. To resume the cycle, close the lid and press Start.

If the machine is paused for more than 24 hours, the cycle will be cancelled. To stop the cycle, turn the Cycle Selector to the Off position. NOTE: Machine will automatically cancel and drain when water is present and the lid is left open for 15 minutes or the unit is left in a paused state for 24 hours with the lid closed. Select cycle and press Start to begin new cycle.

this occurs, the washer is taking actions to correct the out-of-balance condition and complete the cycle

 

normally. In some cases, the washer may not be able to balance the load and spin up to full speed.

 

If you notice the load is more wet than normal at the end of the cycle, redistribute the load evenly in

 

the wash basket and run a Drain & Spin cycle.

Fabric Softener Dispenser (on models with an agitator)

The fabric softener dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the cycle.

Do not stop the washer during the first spin. This will cause the dispenser to empty too soon.

To use, follow these steps:

1 Make sure dispenser is securely attached to agitator.

2Use only diluted liquid fabric softener. Pour into dispenser, using amount recommended on package.

Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them.

NOTE: Do not pour bleach into FABRIC SOFTENER dispenser.

3Add water to dispenser until it reaches the maximum fill line.

Do not pour anything into the agitator if the dispenser is removed.

2Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle.

ŶNever pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.

ŶDo not pour powdered bleach into bleach funnel.

3Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach funnel. Avoid splashing or over-filling dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered bleach, add it into the wash basket with your detergent.

ŶDo not mix chlorine bleach with an oxi pre-treatment, ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.

NOTE: Do not pour bleach into FABRIC SOFTENER dispenser.

10

49-90581-3

Getting started - Washer

Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.

Sorting Wash Loads

Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level, fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates) and whether the fabric produces lint (terry cloth, chenille) or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy). Wash lint producers such as cotton towels and socks separate from lint collectors including synthetic garments and dress pants.

WARNING - Fire Hazard

DO NOT wash fabrics soiled with flammable liquids or cleaning solvents. No washer can completely remove oil.

DO NOT wash or dry anything that has been soaked in or spotted with any type of oil (including cooking oils). DO NOT reach into the washer until all moving parts have stopped.

Doing so can result in death, explosion, fire or amputation.

Loading the Washer (on models with an agitator)

Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row of holes in the washer basket. When loading wet items, make sure you set the load/water level high enough to allow the items to move freely. To add items after washer has started, press Start/Pause. Lift the lid and submerge additional items next to the agitator. Close the lid and press Start to resume.

Ŷ Do not wrap long items like sheets or pants around the agitator.

Ŷ Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).

ŶAgitation will not start with the lid up.

Proper Use of Detergent

Using too little or too much detergent is a common cause of laundry problems.

Use less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.

For spots, apply pre-treatment to items as recommended on the product label. Application should be made in the basket to prevent overspray which may cause the coloring on the lid or graphics to fade.

Place detergent packets in the bottom of the wash basket before adding clothes.

We recommend the use of High Efficiency detergents such as in your energy efficient washer. HE detergents are formulated to work with low water wash and rinse systems. HE detergents reduce the oversudsing problems commonly associated with regular detergents.

When using high efficiency or concentrated detergents, consult the product label to determine amount required for optimum performance. Excessive detergent will negatively impact wash performance.

Select Less Dry if you want your clothes slightly damp at the end of the drying cycle.

Select More Dry if you want them to feel drier. Time Dry cycle runs for a selected time.

Energy Star® models are tested on Cottons cycle with default settings to determine energy use rating of this dryer. The E-Dry option will default only for Cottons at Medium Dry/Normal and More Dry settings. Temperature settings on Regular are specifically designed for this cycle to reduce energy consumption. For optimal energy savings, turn E-Dry on. For optimal drying times, turn E-Dry off. Energy savings will vary across loads.
