IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injuryto persons when usingthe washer, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the washer. •
• Do not wash articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable,
or explosive substances as they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
• Do notadd gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other flammable, 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 ina 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
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.
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is
used near children.
Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door or lid.
Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator
is moving.
Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended
in this manual or in published user-repair instructions
that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
See "Electrical Requirements" for grounding instructions.

UnderstandingWasherCycles
When the Cycle Control knob is eat to a number and pulled out,
the washer fills (to the selected load size) before agitation and
timing start. The washer begins agitating immediately after filling;
agitation occurs with the washer lid down.
During agitation, the agitator creates a continuous reliever action
(on some models) that provides a thorough cleaning of the wash
load.
After agitation starts, the Cycle Control knob turns clockwise until
it points to an OFF area and the cycle ends.
NOTE: The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These
pauses are normal for washer operation.

during the end of draining,
After drain and before spin
When the cycle changes from draining to spinning, you may hear
gears engaging,

Normal cycle
This cycle features high-speed agitation followed by a brief
period of low-speed agitation for cleaning cottons and linens.
High spin speeds shorten drying time. Select 6 to 15 minutes of
wash time, depending on your model, for loads that are
moderately or heavily soiled. For lightly soiled loads, use the
shortest time setting.
Super Wash--Select the Super Wash setting to wash heavily
soiled loads that need maximum soil removal. Use twice the
amount of detergent recommended for a wash cycle.
Casual cycle
This cycle starts with high-speed agitation and then steps down
to low-speed agitation for cleaning permanent press blends and
synthetic fabrics. To minimize wrinkling, this cycle features a
cool-down rinse and a low-speed final spin. Select 6 to 10
minutes of wash time, depending on your model, to clean lightly
to moderately soiled loads.
Delicates cycle
This cycle features a low-speed agitation for gentle soil removal
from delicate items and washable knits. Low spin speeds
minimize wrinkling. Select 3 to g minutes of wash time,
depending on your model, to clean lightlyto moderately soiled
loads.
Hand Washables cycle

1. Push inthe Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to any of
the Spin settings.
2. Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer drains, then
spins.
AddingLiquidChlorineBleach
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do not guess. Never use
more than 1 cup (250 mL)for a full load. Follow manufacturer's
directions for safe use. Use a cup with a pouring spout to avoid
spilling.
1. Let the washer filland begin agitating the load.
2. Add bleach to the wash cycle so it can be removed inthe
rinse cycle. Pour bleach around the agitator, not directly onto
the load.
• Follow directions on the care labels. Do not use chlorine
bleach on wool, silk, spandex, acetates, or some flame-
retardant fabrics.
• When soaking with chlorine bleach, add detergent to
soak water.
NOTE: Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it touches. The
damage appears as rips, holes, tears, or color loss and may not
show up until several washings later.
CleaningYourWasher
Cleaning the exterior
Use a soft, damp cloth orsponge to wipe up any spills such as
detergent or bleach. Occasionally wipe the outside of your
washer to keep it looking new.
Cleaning the interior
Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine
bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent. Pour this into your
washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot water.
Repeat this process if necessary.
NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners
labeled as washer safe.
Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser
Flush dispenser periodically with warm water, as shown. Remove
the dispenser by grasping the top of the dispenser with both
hands and squeezing and pushing upward with thumbs. Clean
the dispenser by rinsing it under a water faucet. Replace it after
cleaning.
NOTE: Do not wash clothes with this dispenser removed. Do not
add detergent or bleach to this dispenser; it is for liquidfabric
softener use only.
Adding LiquidFabricSoftener
Always dilute fabric softener with ½ to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL)
warm water. Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics.
• Add diluted fabric softener only in the final rinse.
Fabric softener should not be mixed with other laundry
products. Greasy stains can form. To remove greasy stains,
wet the stain and rub with liquid detergent or a bar of soap.
Rewesh.
• Too much fabric softener can make some items (diapers and
towels) nonabsorbent. Ifthis happens, use less fabric
softener, or do not use it every time.
