Important Safety Instructions
A inninwwc — To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, propel^ •>'’ '"¡“T
re persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. As with any equipment using electricity and having
moving parts, there are potential hazards. To use
this appliance safely, the operator should become
familiar with the instructions for operation of the
appliance and always exercise care when using it.
3. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
4. Install and level washer on a floor that can support
the weight.
5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never
plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which is
not grounded adequately and in accordance with
local and national codes. See installation instruc
tions for grounding this appliance.
6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not wash items 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. Hand wash and line
dry any items containing these substances.
Any material on which you have used a cleaning
solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liq
uids or solids, should not be placed in the washer
until all traces of these liquids or solids and their
fumes have been removed.
These items include acetone, denatured alcohol,
gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household clean
ers, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and
wax removers.
b. 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.
c. 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 a wash
ing machine or combination washer-dryer, 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.
7. Do not reach into the appliance if the agitator is
moving.
8. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.
Close supervision of children is necessary when the
appliance is used near children.
9. Do not tamper with controls.
10. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recom
mended in published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to carry out.
11. Unplug power supply cord before attempting to ser
vice your washer.
12. The agitator should not be removed. If the agitator
is removed, it must be replaced by pushing down
completely and the locking screw tightened before
the washer is operated.
13. Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry
place where children cannot reach them.
14. Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with veg
etable or cooking oil. These items may contain some
oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the
fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.
15. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids
(such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash.
Hazardous fumes can form.
16. Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small
particles can stick to fabrics washed in following
loads and cause skin irritation.
17. Before the appliance is removed from service or dis
carded, remove the door to the washing compart
ment.

1^^ Operating Tips,
Chlorine Bleach Dispenser
The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine
bleach before it reaches your wash load. To use, follow
these steps:
1. Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully, following
the instructions on the bottle.
2. Add the bleach to the dispenser before adding the
load. Avoid splashing or over-filling the dispenser.
NOTE:
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly
onto the load or into the wash tub. It is a powerful
chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as tear
ing or color loss, if not used properly.
• If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine bleach,
pour it into the wash tub with your detergent. Do not
pour non-chlorine bleaches into the bleach dispenser.
Liquid Additive Dispenser
This dispenser automatically releases liquid additives at
the proper time during the cycle. To use, follow these
steps:
1. Pour the appropriate liquid into the dispenser using
the amount recommended on the package.
2. If using the liquid dispenser for fabric softener, add
warm water to the dispenser until it reaches the MAX
line.
3. Do not use fabric softener with a PREWASH cycle.
NOTE;
• Do not stop the washer during the first spin. This will
cause the dispenser to empty too soon.
• Never pour fabric softener directly on the load. It will
leave spots and stains.
• If the dispenser had been used with liquid detergent,
clean it before using fabric softener. Clean the area in
and around the dispenser frequently with hot water,
detergent and a soft brush.
Pour liquid chlorine bleach into
bleach dispenser.

For detailed information on sorting, pretreating stains, etc., see the enclosed Laundry Tips pamphlet.
Detergent
Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent. For
best results, be sure detergent is added to the
washer BEFORE the load and be sure wash water
is above 65" F.
Use the correct amount of detergent for the load size,
soil level and water conditions. Use more detergent if
you have hard water and very soiled loads.
If you have soft water or a lightly soiled load, use less
detergent. (See manufacturer’s instructions.)
Wipe up any detergent spills on the washer.
Loading
• Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to the
top row of holes for a maximum load.
• Do not wrap large items like sheets around the agita
tor.
• Mix large and small items for best circulation. Wash
bulky items like blankets separately.
• When laundering wrinkle free items or items of deli
cate construction, washable woolens or loosely knit
items, never use less than the MEDIUM water level
setting. This will minimize shrinkage, wrinkling and
pulling of seams.
• For best results, add the detergent to washtub before
adding the load.
Fingertip Faucet/Spot Treater
(select models)
This feature is found on the lower right
comer of the control panel. Pushing and
releasing the button will allow 5-7 sec
onds of cold water to flow from the water
dispenser. If the washer has stopped fill
ing because the selected water level has
been reached, this feature will not work.
This prevent water from over-flowing. To
activate the switch, reset to a higher water
level selection and then press the button.

7) Place the cap of your detergent bottle under the
“PUSH" button. Fill the cap with detergent from
the dispenser as full as you would for most of your
loads by pressing and holding the “PUSH” button
(figure 2). Place the detergent from the cap either

penser when the detergent level nears the bottom
of the refill indicator window.
Note: If you decide to change brands of liquid deter
gent (Example: Tide® to Wish® or Tide with Bleach
Alternative® to Tide®) it is important the dispenser be
empty and clean before adding new detergent (see
page 9). Different detergents may interact and clog
the dispenser.

page 8).
Care and Cleaning
Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day’s wash
ing. This will shut off the water supply to the washer
and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from
escaping water.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other
spills as they occur.
Storing the Washer
Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from
hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare
the washer for storage as follows:
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel - clean with a soft, damp cloth and glass
cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning
pads.
Cabinet - clean with soap and water.
Interior - hard water deposits may be removed, if
needed, using a recommended cleaner labeled wash
er safe.
Advance the cycle control dial to Spin and lower the
drain hose to eliminate any water that may be in the
drain hose.
• Select NORMAL on the WHITES cycle and add one
cup of bleach or white vinegar to a full load of water
without clothes. Run the washer through a complete
cycle.
• Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet
hoses.
Disconnect the washer from the electrical supply and
leave the washer lid open to let air circulate inside the
tub.
