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 hurtyou 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 tellyou what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen ifthe instructionsare not followed.

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.

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,

• Items should move easily through the wash water.

StarfingYour Washer Overloading can cause poor cleaning.

WASHABLES

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

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 intothe washer. Restart

the washer. Quick Wash cycle

This cycle features low-speed agitation for gentle soil removal, while providing high spin speeds to shorten drying times. Select this cycle for small loads of lightly soiled items that you need in a hurry.

Soak cycle This cycle features brief periods of agitation and soak time to

remove heavy soils and stains that need pretrsatmant. Use warm water when soaking laundry. Hot water can set stains. Use the amount of detergent orpresoak additive recommended by the manufacturer. When the Soak cycle ends, add detergent and start a new wash cycle.

Rinseand Spin WASHERCARE

When using extra detergent for heavilysoiled clothes, or washing apeciaI-cara items, you may find an extra rinse and spin is

needed.

1. Push inthe Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to any of the Rinse settings.

2. Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The wesher fills to the

selected load size, agitates, drains, and spins.

NOTE: An Extra Rinse option is available (on some models). See "Starting Your Washer."

Drainand Spin

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.
