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 is the safety alert symbol. 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 "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 injuryto persons when using the washer/dryer, follow

basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the washer/dryer.

• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a

chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

• Do not wash or dry 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.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer/dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the •

washer/dryer is used near children.

• Before the washer/dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the doors to the washer/dryer •

compartments.

• Do not reach into the washer/dryer ifthe tub, agitator or • drum is moving.

• Do not install or store the washer/dryer where it will be exposed to the weather. •

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load.

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 repair or replace any part of the washer/dryer 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.

Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric

softener or product.

Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or

similarly textured rubber-like materials.

Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent

surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.

The interior of the machine and dryer exhaust vent should

be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

See "Electrical Requirements" section for grounding

instructions.

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.

1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add

powdered or liquid color safe bleach. 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.

2. (OPTIONAL) Add Liquid Chlorine Bleach. 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.

Style 1: With Liquid Chlorine Bleach Dispenser (on some models)

Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach into the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser, if needed. Bleach is diluted and

automatically dispensed at the proper time during the wash cycle.

(OPTIONAL) Add Liquid Fabric Softener.

NOTE: Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the

clothes. Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics. Always dilute fabric softener with warm water. Too much fabric

softener can make some items (diapers and towels)

nonabsorbent, if this happens, do not use it in every load, or use less of it in each load.

Style 1: With Liquid Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some models)

Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the dispenser. Softener is added automatically during the rinse portion of the cycle. Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches the crossbar in the dispenser opening.

Style 2: Without Liquid Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some models)

• In the final rinse ONLY, add fabric softener that has been diluted with 1/2to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water.

Close the washer lid. Washer will not agitate or spin with the

lid open.

Turn the WATER LEVEL selector to the correct setting for your wash load and the type of fabric being washed. You may change the load size or water level selection after the washer

has started filling by turning the selector to a different setting.

Set the TEMPERATURE selector to the correct setting for the type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest water

safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.

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).

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. Pull out the Cycle Control knob to

start the washer.

NOTE: Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.

Style 2: Without Liquid Chlorine Bleach Dispenser (on some models)

Let the washer fill and begin agitating the load. Add bleach to

the wash cycle so it can be removed in the 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.

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.

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.

DRYER USE

Load clothes loosely into the dryer. Do not pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely. The following charts show examples

of balanced loads that would allow for proper tumbling,

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.

Do not dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing).

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, explosion, or fire.

This booklet covers several different models. Your dryer may not

have all of the cycles and features described. Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to

remove dust from storing and shipping.

1. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely.

2. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle for the type of load being dried. Use the Normal Dry setting to dry most heavy to medium weight fabrics.

3. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have an END OF CYCLE SIGNAL. The signal is helpful when drying items that should

be removed from the dryer as soon as it stops. The End of

Cycle signal is part of the Start button and is selectable. Turn the Start button to SIGNAL ON or SIGNAL OFE The signal

will sound only if the selector is set to On.

Fire Hazard

No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on

it (including cooking oils). Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried

on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

4. If desired, add fabric softener sheet. Use only ones labeled as dryer safe. Follow package instructions.

5. Press the PUSH TO START DRYER button.

LAUNDRY CENTER CARE Every Load Cleanin

Style 1:

1. The lint screen is located inside the dryer on the back wall.

................ ;_s ©_" _dV_._ e

Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as

detergent or bleach from the outside of your washer. Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine

bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent. Pour this mixture into

your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot water.

Repeat this process if necessary. Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as

washer safe.

Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some models):

1. Remove dispenser by grasping top with both hands and squeezing, while pushing upward with thumbs.

2. Rinse dispenser under a warm water faucet, then replace it. NOTE: If your model has a liquid fabric softener dispenser, do not

wash clothes with this dispenser removed. Do not add detergent or bleach to this dispenser; it is for liquid fabric softener only.

Replace inlet hoses after 5 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.

Pull out the lint screen and its cover.

2. Separate the cover and the screen by squeezing the screen and pulling on the cover at the same time.

3. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

4. Put the lint screen and cover back together and push firmly

back into place.

Style 2:

1. The lint screen is located inside the dryer in the front door well. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen

with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.

As Needed Cleaning

1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.

2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.

3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub

lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.

4. Rinse screen with hot water.

5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Replace screen in dryer.

Keep laundry center area clear and free from items that would

obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from dryer. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

IMPORTANT:

• Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and

damage to both the dryer and fabrics.

• If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check

the exhaust hood and remove the lint.

1. Apply a nonflammable household cleaner to the stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until stain is removed.

2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum. NOTE: Garments which contain unstable dyes, such as denim

blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the

dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will

not stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside-

out to prevent dye transfer.

From Inside the Dryer Cabinet

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending

on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified person.

From Inside the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending

on dryer usage.

Install and store your laundry center where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage

your laundry center. If storing or moving your laundry center during freezing weather, winterize it.

To winterize laundry center

1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet

hoses. Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket.

2. Run washer on a drain and spin setting for about 30 seconds

to mix the antifreeze and water.

3. Unplug laundry center or disconnect power.

To use laundry center again

1. Flush water pipes and hoses. Reconnect water inlet hoses.

Turn on both water faucets.

2. Plug in laundry center or reconnect power.

3. Runthewasherthroughacompletecyclewith 1 cup(250mL)

of detergent to clean out antifreeze.

Non-use or vacation care

Operate your laundry center only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your laundry center for an

extended period of time, you should:

• Unplug laundry center or disconnect power.

• Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you

are away.

To transport the laundry center

1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses. Place the inlet hoses into the basket.

2. If laundry center will be moved during freezing weather, put in 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket. Run washer on

a spin setting for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and water

3. Disconnect the drain from the drain system.

4. Unplug laundry center or disconnect power.

5. Disconnect the exhaust vent.

6. If your laundry center is a gas model, close shutoff valve in

gas supply line, disconnect gas supply line pipe and remove fittings attached to the laundry center pipe.

7. Wash lint screen.

8. Drape the power cord and drain hose over edge and in the basket.

9. Make sure leveling legs are secure. Use masking tape to

secure the washer lid and dryer door.

• Are the gears engaging after the drain and before spin, or

is the upper part of agitator clicking during wash? These

are normal washer noises.

Leaking

• Checkthe following: Are the fill hoses tight?

Are the fill hose washers properly seated?

Is the drain hose clamp properly installed? See the Installation Instructions.

Is the sink or drain clogged? Sink and standpipe must be

able to handle 17 gal. (64 L) of water per minute.

Is water deflecting off the tub ring or the load? Center the

tub before starting the washer. The wash load should be

balanced and not overloaded. The fill or spray rinses can

deflect off the load. The laundry center must be level. Ensure that the leveling legs are properly installed. See the

Installation Instructions.

• Check household plumbing for leaks.

Basket crooked

• Was the washer basket pulled forward during loading?

Push the basket to the center before starting wash.

• Is the load balanced and the laundry center level? The wash load should be balanced and not overloaded. The

laundry center must be level. Ensure that the leveling legs are properly installed. See the Installation Instructions.

• The washer basket moves while washing. This is normal.

Agitator operation

• The top of the agitator is loose, or moves in only one

direction. This is normal.

Reinstalling your laundry center

1. Follow the "Installation Instructions" to locate, level, and

connect the laundry center.

2. Run the washer through the Normal cycle with 1 scoop or cap full of detergent to clean the washer and remove the antifreeze, if used.

the cost of a service call...

_,=_0'I"11%,}'t>,_I +,..:*

Noisy

Is the load balanced and the laundry center level? The

wash load should be balanced and not overloaded. The

laundry center must be level. The front feet should be properly installed and the nuts tightened. Reset the rear leveling legs (if needed). See the Installation Instructions.

• Did you completely remove the yellow shipping strap with cotter pins? See the Installation Instructions.

Dispenser clogged (on some models)

Did you follow the manufacturer's directions when adding

fabric softener to the dispenser (on some models)?

Measure fabric softener and carefully pour into the dispenser. Wipe up all spills. Dilute fabric softener in the fabric softener dispenser.

Washer stops, won't fill, rinse or agitate

• Checkthe following: Is the power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet?

Is the indicator on the Cycle Control knob properly lined up

with a cycle? Turn the Cycle Control knob to the right slightly and pull to start.

Are the water inlet valve screens clogged? Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on?

Is the water inlet hose kinked?

• Does the water level seem too low, or does the washer

appear to not fill completely? The top of the agitator is much higher than the highest water level. This is normal and

necessary for clothes to move freely.

• Is there power at the plug? Check your electrical source or

call an electrician.
