Important Safety Instructions

Save These Instructions

• Read all instructions before using the washer.

• Install the washer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to the EARTH/GROUND INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connection of the washer. All connections for water, drain, electrical power and earth/ground must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself.

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

• Do not add the following substances or textiles containing traces of the following substances to the wash water: gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils, drycleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners or other flammable or explosive substances. These substances give off vapors that could ignite, explode or cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water taps and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. THE GAS IS FLAMMABLE, DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.

• To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to connect the washer to the electrical power source.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. This is a safety rule for all appliances.

• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• Children less than three years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.

• Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or agitator, if applicable, is moving.

Part No. 203061R2

Safety Information

• Never operate the washer with any guards, panels and/or parts removed or broken. DO NOT tamper with the controls or bypass any safety devices.

• Use your washer only for its intended purpose, washing clothes. Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.

• Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep them out of the reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked cabinet). Heed all warnings or precautions.

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

• Lid MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is to agitate or spin. DO NOT bypass the lid switch by permitting the washer to agitate or spin with the lid open. A brake will stop the washtub within seconds if the lid is opened during spinning. If the washtub does not stop when the lid is opened, remove the washer from use and call the service person.

• Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.

• Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or dropping the washer can damage safety features. If this occurs, have your washer checked by a qualified service person.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical supply before attempting any service.

• Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid or door to the washing compartment.

• Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this washer according to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating the washer.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not understand.

Operation

TLW1990N_SVG

TLW1991N_SVG

Before Washing

Prepare Wash Load

Empty Pockets and Cuffs

Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside out. One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail or sharp object in a load can catch laundry, cause tears and plug the pump. Facial tissue left in a pocket will produce extreme “lint”. A crayon or lipstick in a wash load may cause stains that cannot be removed. Roll down cuffs and shake out grass, sand and gravel.

Operation

Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few guidelines:

1. Sort by Color: Separate items into loads of whites, darks, lights and non-colorfast.

2. Sort by Fabric and Construction: Separate items into loads of cottons/linens, permanent press, synthetics/blends/poly knits, and delicates.

3. Sort by Temperature: Separate items into loads that can be washed in cold, warm or hot water.

4. Sort by Type and Amount of Soil: Heavily soiled clothes will need extra treatment. Lightly soiled clothes can become dingy if washed with heavily soiled items.

5. Sort Lint “Shedders” From Lint “Receivers”: Some fabrics attract lint and should not be washed with lint-shedding loads. Lint shedders are cottons, terry towels, chenille bedspreads, rugs and clothes that have been heavily bleached. Lint receivers are synthetics, permanent or durable press, knits (including socks), corduroy, and other smooth fabrics.

Mend Rips and Tears

Little holes can become bigger in the washer. Mend holes and tears before placing garments in the washer.

Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks

These can catch on garments in a wash load and tear them. Tie belts and sashes so they won’t wind around clothes.

Check For Colorfastness

Squeeze a portion of garment in warm or hot sudsy water. If the color bleeds or runs, wash the item separately in cold water.

Sort Items

Different items use different wash cycles and temperatures. Always follow the manufacturer’s care label.

Pretreat

Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pretreat product or liquid detergent when placing them in the washer. Before washing, treat special stains individually.

WARNING

Do not wash or dry items soiled with vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils may remain after washing and may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.

Loading the Washer

Load Articles

NOTE: Always add detergent first.

• Load items by the amount of space they take up, not by their weight. Mix large and small items in a load to get the best washing results.

Part No. 203061R2

TLW1992N_SVG

TLW2223N_SVG

TLW2224N_SVG

Operation

• Drop items loosely into the washtub. The bulk of the clothes rather than the weight will determine load size. Do not pack items in or wrap them around the agitator. Overloading can cause poor cleaning, excessive wrinkling and tears.

• Items should move freely through the wash water for best cleaning results. Items should rollover, sink and then reappear.

• When washing very large items, do not fill washtub as full as with other loads.

Load Size (Water Level)

• The water level in your washer should fit the size of your wash load. Small loads will use lower water levels. There must be enough water in the washtub to allow items to move and turn over freely.

Wrong Water Level for Size of Load

Load Sizes

Small 1-2 permanent press dress

shirts or 2 pillow cases or 1 lightweight dress or similar size load

Medium 3-4 permanent press dress

shirts or 1 twin sheet, 1 pillow case or 1-2 lightweight dresses

Large 6-7 permanent press shirts or

2 twin sheets, 2 pillow cases or 8 standard bath towels, 6 wash cloths

Extra Large 8-9 shirts, 5 pair polyester

pants or 2 queen size sheets, 4 pillow cases, 2 nightgowns, 1 pair men’s pajamas or 1 queen size bedspread

Wash Temperature

Hot

Hot water is the most effective for cleaning, but it is not recommended for all fabric types (read labels).

Warm

Right Water Level for Size of Load

• Overloading the washtub can result in poor washing and rinsing.

• Overloading may also cause wrinkling and tearing of items as well as increased wear to the washer’s motor.

IMPORTANT: If in doubt, always use a larger load size. Most average loads will require the Large Load Size setting. Failure to have the correct volume of water relative to the load may decrease washer performance.

The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough cleaning on light and moderately soiled clothing without damaging fabric or adding to color fading. Warm water also reduces wrinkling. Use with noncolorfast or dark colors, permanent press, silks, woolens, nylon, and acrylic.

Cool

The Cool Wash temperature is useful for washing permanent press fabrics.

Cold

The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although its cleaning abilities are not as great as with hot or warm water, it is useful for colors that bleed easily and for sensitive fabrics.

All rinses use cold water. It is the most beneficial for fabrics. Cold rinses reduce wrinkling and color fading. In addition, cold rinses will save money and energy.

NOTE: In wash temperatures colder than 60°F (16°C), detergents do not dissolve well. This may cause ineffective cleaning, or lint and residue to form.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.
