IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire
or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

WATER HEATER SAFETY

Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks
or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances.

If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on
all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance
which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape.
Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

PROPER INSTALLATION

This washer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. If
you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet, you can receive one by calling, toll-free

1-800-361-3400.

Customer ServiceTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Instructions

■Keep the area underneath and around your

appliances free of combustible materials such as
lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.

■Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used

by or near children. Do not allow children to play on,
with, or inside this or any other appliance.

YOUR LAUNDRY AREA

■Never reach into washer while it is moving. Wait

until the machine has completely stopped before
opening the lid.

■Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids

such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing
different chemicals can produce a toxic gas which

■Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in,

washed in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or
explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline,
degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which
may ignite or explode. Do not add these substances to
the wash water. Do not use or place these substances
around your washer or dryer during operation.

■

The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy
of fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully follow the
garment manufacturer’s wash and care instructions.

■To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug

this appliance from the power supply or disconnect
the washer at the household distribution panel by
removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

position does

NOT

the power supply.

■Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged,

malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing
or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.

WHEN USING THE WASHER

■Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses

and valves and to minimize leakage if a break or
rupture should occur. Check the condition of the
fill hoses; they may need replacement after 5 years.

■Before discarding a washer, or removing it from

service, remove the washer lid to prevent children
from hiding inside.

■Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this

appliance unless specifically recommended in this
Owner’s Manual, or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills
to carry out.

About washer features.

NOTE: Not all features are available on all washer models.

Liquid Bleach Dispenser (on some models)

The dispenser dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches into your wash load.

Check clothing care labels for special instructions.

Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle.

■

Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.

■

Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.

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

■

Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing can
produce a toxic gas which may cause death.

The Agitator Cap or Fabric Softener Dispenser (depending on model)

The agitator cap

fits into the top of the
agitator. If it accidentally comes off, simply
put it back on.

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:

Make sure dispenser is securely attached
to agitator.

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

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

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

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

Cleaning the Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some models)

Remove the dispenser from the top of the agitator.

Separate the dispenser cup from the cover by grasping the top and pushing down on
the inside of the cup with your fingers. Dispenser cup will pop free from the cover.

To clean the dispenser, soak both the dispenser cup and the dispenser cover in the
following solution:

■

1 US gallon (3.8 liters) warm water

■

1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy duty liquid detergent

■

1 cup (240 ml) bleach

If necessary, loosen build-up with a clean, soft cloth after soaking. Do not use a stiff
brush; you may roughen the surface of the dispenser.

Rinse and reassemble dispenser. Place dispenser back on the agitator.

Loading and using the washer.

Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.

Sorting Wash Loads

Proper Use of Detergent

Add detergent and start the washer before adding
clothes so that the detergent can work effectively.
Follow the detergent package directions. Using too
little or too much detergent is a common cause of
laundry problems.

You can use less detergent if you have soft water, a
smaller load, or a lightly soiled load.

Loading the Washer

Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top
row of holes in the washer tub. When loading wet
items make sure you set the load/water level high
enough to allow the items to move freely. Water
level should just cover the clothes. To add items
after washer has started, push in Cycle Dial and
submerge additional items next to the agitator.
Close the lid and pull Cycle Dial out to restart.

■

Do not wrap large items like sheets around the
agitator.

■

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

■

Agitation will not start with the lid up.
