WASHERSAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or
This is the safety alert symbol.
"WARNING." These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the 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 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.
• Under 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 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 Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.

WASHERUSE
When the Cycle Control knob is set 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 up or down.
During agitation, the agitator creates a continuous rollover action
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.

5. Spin
Your new washer may make sounds your old one didn't. Because
the sounds might be unfamiliar, you may be concerned about
them. These sounds are normal.
During washing
When you select a small load size setting, your washer has a
lower water level. This can cause a clicking sound from the upper
part of the agitator.
During drain
If water is drained quickly from your washer (depending on your
installation), you may hear air being pulled through the pump
during the end of draining.
After drain and before spin
When the cycle changes from draining to spinning, you may hear
gears engaging.
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are
dampened with gasoline or other flammable
fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of
oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer.
• Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and
small items.
• Items should move easily through the wash water.
Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
• To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and some
synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide more
space (see step 5).
(OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach
into the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser. Bleach will be
dispensed automatically during the wash part of the cycle.
See "SMART BLEACH TM Timed Bleach Dispenser."
Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Use
less for a smaller load size.
Follow the manufacturer's directions for safe use.
To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not
let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer
basket.
• Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.
(OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid fabric softener into
the liquid fabric softener dispenser. Softener is added
automatically during the rinse portion of the cycle.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
1,
Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add
powdered or liquid color-safe bleach. Add extra detergent for
the Super Wash cycle.
Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser with warm
water until liquid reaches the crossbar in the opening.
• Do not spill or drip any fabric softener on the clothes.
• Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.
4,
Close the washer lid.
5.
Turn the LOAD SIZE selector to the correct setting for your
wash load and the type of fabric being washed.
Choose a load size that allows the load to move freely for
best fabric care. See "Loading."
You may change the load size selection after the washer
has started filling by turning the selector to a different
setting.

YourwasherusesthePRECISEWASHTM automatic
temperature control. The PRECISEWASH feature maintains a
uniform water temperature by regulating incoming hot and
cold water. This helps eliminate undissolved detergent and
ensures consistent cleaning results. The cold wash is
regulated at approximately 75°F (24°C). The warm wash is
maintained at approximately 100°F (38°C).
NOTE: Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets are
turned on or the PRECISEWASH feature will not work
properly.
Water Temp Use For
Hot Whites and pastels
111°F (44°C) Heavy and greasy soils
or above
Warm Bright colors
90°-110°F Moderate to light soils
(32°-43°C)
Cold Colors that bleed or fade
70°-90 °F Light soils
(21°-32°C)
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 70°F
(21°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult
to remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have
increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the
surface of garments).
7. (OPTIONAL STEP) For an additional rinse and spin at the end
of a wash cycle, set the EXTRA RINSE selector to ON.
8. (OPTIONAL STEP) Set the CYCLE SIGNAL selector to ON if
you want your washer to sound a signal when the wash cycle
is finished. The signal is helpful when you are washing items
that should be removed from the washer as soon as the cycle
ends.
9. Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to the
wash cycle you want. Reduce the wash time when using a
small load size setting. See "Selecting a Cycle and Time."
Pull out the Cycle Control knob to start the washer.
To stop or restart your washer
• To stop the washer at any time, push in the Cycle Control
knob.
• To restart the washer, close the lid (if open) and pull out
the Cycle Control knob.
This section describes the available wash cycles and will help
you make the best cycle selections for your wash loads. Each
cycle is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels.
• The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These
pauses are normal. Refer to "Normal Washer Sounds" to
learn more about the sounds you may hear during a wash
cycle.
• Refer to "Understanding Washer Cycles" to learn what
happens during a wash cycle.
NOTE: This manual covers several different models. The washer
you purchased will not have all of the cycles described.

Normal cycle
This cycle features high-speed agitation for cleaning cottons and
linens, and high spin speed to shorten drying time. Select up to
15 minutes of wash time, depending on whether your load is
lightly, moderately or heavily soiled. For lightly soiled cottons and
linens, use the shortest time setting.
Super Wash - Select the 18-minute Super Wash feature to wash
heavily soiled loads that need maximum soil removal. Use two
times the recommended amount of detergent for this cycle.
Casual cycle
This cycle starts with high-speed agitation and then steps 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. Use this cycle to
clean lightly to moderately soiled loads.
Delicates cycle
This cycle features low-speed agitation for gentle soil removal
from delicate items and washable knits. Low spin speeds
minimize wrinkling. Use this cycle to clean lightly to moderately
soiled loads.
Gentle cycle
This cycle features a series of brief, low speed agitations and
short soaks to gently clean special-care items. Low spin speeds
minimize wrinkling. Wash small loads. If items appear to be
floating (due to trapped air), stop the washer by pushing in the
Cycle Control knob. Push items down into the washer. Pull out
the Cycle Control knob to restart the washer.

A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy
fabrics or special-care items by removing excess water.
1. Push in the 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.
The timed bleach dispenser automatically dispenses liquid
chlorine bleach to the wash load at the appropriate time during
the cycle to help ensure the cleanest and brightest loads. Bleach
is dispensed into the wash load a few minutes after agitation
begins in order to give the detergent time to achieve the best soil
and stain removal.
NOTE: Do not use this dispenser to add powdered chlorine or
color-safe bleach to your wash load. The dispenser is for liquid
chlorine bleach only.
WASHERCARE
Cleaning the exterior
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge 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 upwards 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 liquid fabric
softener use only.
Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of
hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if
bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement
on the label with a permanent marker.
