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 allow them to run for several
minutes before using any electrical
appliance which is connected to
the hot water system. This will
allow any hydrogen gas to escape.
Since the gas is flammable, do
not smoke or use an open flame
or appliance during this process.

and drain facilities as described
in the Installation Instructions.
• Turn off water faucets when the
washer is not in use to relieve
pressure on hoses and valves and
to minimize leakage if a hose or
valve should break or rupture.
®, 800.626.2000.
• Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance or attempt
any servicing unless specifically
recommended in this Owner’s
Manual or in published userrepair instructions that you
understand and have the skills
to carry out.
• When disconnecting this
appliance pull by the plug rather
than the cord to avoid damage to
the cord or junction of cord and
plug. Make sure that the cord
is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over or
otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.
• Keep all laundry aids (such
as detergents, bleaches, fabric
softeners, etc.) out of the reach
of children, preferably in a
locked cabinet. Observe all
warnings on container labels
to avoid personal injury.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Keep the area around and
underneath your appliances
free from the accumulation of
combustible materials, such as
lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
• Keep the floor around your
appliances clean and dry to
reduce the possibility of slipping.
• Never reach into washer if the
basket or agitator is moving.
Before loading, unloading or
adding clothes, press
START/PAUSE and wait until
the machine has completely
stopped before opening the lid.
• Close supervision is necessary
if this appliance is used by or
near children. Do not allow
children to play inside, on or
with this appliance or any
discarded appliance. Dispose
of discarded appliances and
shipping/packing materials
properly. Before discarding
a washer, or removing from
service, remove the washer lid.
• Do not leave washer lid up during
cycle. This will stop the wash and
spin action and prevent completion of the cycle
lid and press START/PAUSE .
• 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 these substances
around your washer and/or
dryer during operation, as they
give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.

• The laundry process can reduce
the flame retardancy of fabrics.
To avoid such a result, the
garment manufacturer’s care
instructions should be followed
very carefully.
• 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.
• Never climb on or stand on the
washer top.
• Do not wash fiberglass articles in
your washer. Skin irritation could
result from the remaining particles that may be picked up by
clothing during subsequent
washer use.
• 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.
•
NOTE:
Pressing POWER does
NOT disconnect the appliance
from the power supply, even
though the lights are out.
• Do not operate this appliance
if it is damaged, malfunctioning,
partially disassembled, or has
missing or broken parts, including

Out of Balance
Recovery
When your washer is spinning it
can sense when the wash load is out
of balance and will stop and retry
spinning. If the machine still senses
an unbalanced load it will stop,
give a short burst of beeps every
five seconds and the Rinse or Spin
light and the Fast SPIN SPEED
light will flash. Redistribute the
load more evenly yourself.
Your washer can correct out of balance loads by filling with water, agitating to redistribute the load and
spinning.

Helpful Information
Specialty Care Guide
Always follow Fabric Manufacturer’s Care Label or instructions when laundering.
Otherwise use the information below as a general guide.
Item Suggested Care
Down-Filled Garments Always wash down-filled garments separately from other types
of garments. Wet down gives off an odor that will disappear when
the down is dried. Wash down items frequently to fluff up the
down and to retain down’s warmth. When washing make sure
the load is balanced. Also make sure the garments are beneath
the level of the Fabric Softener Dispenser. Add towels if necessary.
Always tumble-dry down garments.
Pillows Pillows are made from a variety of materials. Wash only if
recommended on the Pillow Manufacturer’s Care Label. Before
washing check pillows for weak seams or holes, and mend. Let
the washer fill with water and add detergent. Let the washer
agitate for several minutes and then add pillows in pairs. Submerge
pillow in wash water. This will keep the load balanced. Use the
highest load/water level available. Make sure that the pillows are
beneath the level of the Fabric Softener Dispenser.
Blankets Let the washer fill with water, add detergent, allow detergent to
dissolve, then add blanket. Wash only one blanket at a time.
Electric Blankets Sew a strong piece of cloth over the plug to protect the
blanket and washer from damage. Wash according to pillow
instructions above.
Permanent Press Clothes Select a higher load/water level than normal. This will provide
that are Line Dried more water to help reduce wrinkling and to allow clothes enough
room to move around. Remove clothes as soon as the wash cycle is
complete and hang them up immediately.

• Avoid use of hot water on
unknown stains. It can set

A thorough soaking with detergent
or a special soaking agent is an
effective way to remove heavy
soils or stains.
Try one of these methods.
• Select the REGULAR wash cycle.
Then, select Soak from the WASH

Helpful Information
Removing Specific Stains
The Invisible Stain
Foods on synthetic clothes may
cause stains which are virtually
invisible when you put the clothes
in the washer. If these stains are not
completely removed in the wash,
they may pick up dirt from other
clothes in the washer and appear
after the clothes are dried.
When They Become Visible:
• Rub the stain with undiluted
liquid detergent.
• Let stand 30 minutes.
• Rewash using the hottest water
that is safe for the fabric.
Preventing These Stains:
• Increase the amount of
detergent used.
• Increase water temperature.
• Wash synthetics often.
