WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious in-

jury or death to persons when using your washer,

follow these basic precautions:

W023

• Read all instructions before using the washer.

• Install the washer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUC-

TIONS. Refer to the EARTH/GROUND INSTRUCTIONS in the

INSTALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connec-

tion of the washer. All connections for water, drain, electri-

cal 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: gaso-

line, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine

oils, dry-cleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners

or other flammable or explosive substances. These sub-

stances 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 faucets and let the water flow from each for sev-

eral 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 su-

pervision of children is necessary when the washer is used

near children. This appliance is not intended for use by per-

sons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,

unless they have been given supervision or instruction con-

cerning 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 chil-

dren without supervision.

Safety Information

DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT

6 Part No. 203967ENR2

• 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.

• 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 in operation.

DO NOT bypass the lid switch or lid lock to permit the wash-

er to operate with the lid open.

• 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 in-

structions 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 ac-

cording to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in

conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property

damage.

NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT SAFETY IN-

STRUCTIONS appearing in this manual are not meant

to cover all possible conditions and situations that may

occur. Observe and be aware of other labels and pre-

cautions that are located on the machine. They are in-

tended to provide instruction for safe use of the ma-

chine. Common sense, caution and care must be exer-

cised 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 un-

derstand.

Operation

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 re-

moved. Roll down cuffs and shake out grass, sand and gravel.

Strings on clothing such as hooded sweatshirts may get

caught in or around the agitator. Remove the strings if possible

or tie them together.

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 wa-

ter.

Sort Items

Different items use different wash cycles and temperatures.

Always follow the manufacturer’s care label. 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 bed-

spreads, rugs and clothes that have been heavily bleached.

Lint receivers are synthetics, permanent or durable press,

knits (including socks), corduroy, and other smooth fabrics.

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 larger and heavier items first so they are at the bot-

tom of the washtub.

• 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. For example, don't wash a single large item such as

a throw rug. Add several smaller items to avoid an out-of-

balance condition.

• An out-of-balance load may limit spin speeds.

• The left decimal point on the display may blink on/off at

the end of a cycle if the load did not reach maximum

speed. This can indicate an unbalanced load.

• 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. Over-

loading can cause poor cleaning, excessive wrinkling and

tears.

Operation

DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT

8 Part No. 203967ENR2

• Items should move freely through the wash water for best

cleaning results.

• When washing very large items, do not fill washtub as full

as with other loads.

Load Size - Auto Fill Water Levels

• This washer has an Auto Fill feature. It will automatically se-

lect the proper water level for the load size and type of fab-

ric that is being washed. Auto Fill is recommended for the

best wash performance in all cycles.

• Auto Fill works in multiple stages. During the first fill step of

the cycle, water will fill to the minimum level programmed

for the specific cycle selected. Once the wash step begins,

the control starts sensing the load. Once sensing is com-

plete more water may be added to optimize wash results.

• If you pause the cycle after it started, the Auto Fill sensing

stage will begin again once the cycle is resumed. It will de-

termine if any items have been added and if more water is

needed.

• Overloading the washtub can result in poor washing and

rinsing.

Load Size - Manual Water Levels

• Although the Auto Fill selection is recommended for the

best wash performance in all cycles, there are three man-

ual load size selections as well.

• 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

W282I_SVG

CORRECT Water Level for Size of Load

TLW2319N_SVG

• Overloading the washtub can result in poor washing and

rinsing.

IMPORTANT: If in doubt when using a manual selec-

tion, 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 de-

crease washer performance.

Manual Load Sizes

Small 1-2 permanent press dress

shirts or 2 pillow cases or 1

lightweight dress or similar

size load

Medium 6-7 permanent press shirts

or 2 twin sheets, 2 pillow ca-

ses or 8 standard bath tow-

els, 6 wash cloths

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

The manual load size water levels will vary depending on the

wash cycle selected. If the wrong load size is selected, the ma-

chine may add more water.

Wash Temperature

Hot

Hot water is the most effective for cleaning, but it is not recom-

mended for all fabric types (read labels).

Warm

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.

Warm water can also be used in the rinse water. Use with non-

colorfast or dark colors, permanent press, silks, woolens, ny-

lon, and acrylic.

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.

The Warm/Warm temperature selection will use warm rinse

water. All other 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 inef-

fective cleaning, or lint and residue to form.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.

Water Supply Temperature

Water temperature is determined by the temperature of the in-

coming water supply. The washer does not heat or cool the wa-

ter.

For example, northern climates will have much colder incom-

ing water during the winter months. Southern climates will

have much warmer cold water during the summer months.

Energy

You can save energy when washing by following a few guide-

lines:

1. Heating water accounts for the greatest energy expense

when washing. Save on heating water by using warm or

cold washes.

2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.

3. Use Soak option for heavily soiled items to reduce the need

for higher soil level selections.
