Step 5: Position and Level the Washer

Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for installation and servicing.

Place rubber feet on all four leveling legs.

Place washer in position on a clean, dry, and firm floor. Do not install the washer on carpeting.

Loosen 7/8 inch locknuts and adjust the two front leveling legs. Once adjusted, tilt the unit forward on front legs and lower back down into position to set the rear self-leveling legs.

Washer must not rock. After washer is at desired height, tighten locknuts securely against bottom of washer base. If these locknuts are not tight, washer will not remain stationary during operation.

Improper installation or flexing of a weak floor will cause excessive vibration.

Do not slide washer across floor once the leveling legs have been extended, as legs and base could become damaged.

Verify that washer does not rock.

Step 6: Connect the Washer to Electrical Power

Refer to section on Electrical Requirements and connect the washer to an electrical power source.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons, read the Safety Information section before operating your washer.

W496

Regular

Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes, towels, T-shirts, etc. The wash time selection will depend on the type of fabric and the amount of soil. For the best results when cleaning heavily soiled items, use a longer wash time. Lightly soiled items require less wash time.

There are three settings in the REGULAR cycle – Extra Clean (Heavy), Normal and Light.

Permanent Press Cycle

Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The wash time selection will depend upon the type of fabric and amount of soil.

WRONG

W282I

Figure 23

The water level in your washer should fit the size of your wash load. Small loads will use lower water levels.

IMPORTANT: If in doubt, always use a higher water level. Most average loads will require a water setting of Large.

There are two settings in the PERMANENT PRESS cycle – Normal and Light.

Handwash/Delicate

Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on this cycle. A full tub of water is recommended (even for small loads) to allow the delicate items to move freely through the water.

There are two settings in the HANDWASH/ DELICATE cycle – Normal and Light.

20

39971

Operation

To Wash Clothes

IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer, make sure the washer cord is plugged into an electrical outlet that has the proper grounding and polarity. Make sure the washer hoses are connected to the hot and cold water faucets, and that the faucets are turned on. Be sure the drain hose is not kinked and is inserted into a drain. Refer to the INSTALLATION section for details of proper washer installation.

IMPORTANT: Remove all sharp objects from laundry to avoid tears and rips to items during normal machine operation.

1. Sort items into separate loads. Pretreat stains and heavily soiled areas.

D305I

Figure 24

2. Measure and add detergent to the washtub.

4. Close the lid. The washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open.

W318I

Figure 27

5. Set WASH/RINSE temperatures.

NOTE: The washer will provide a cold rinse in all TEMPERATURE settings. Cold rinses will save you money and energy and will help reduce wrinkling in permanent press and synthetics.

Do not use a warm rinse with permanent press or other synthetic fabrics. A warm rinse can cause wrinkling in some garments.

When using the HANDWASH/DELICATE cycle, a WARM rinse is not available. If the WASH/RINSE selection is set on WARM/WARM, the washer will still give a COLD rinse. This is to assure proper care of delicate items.

NOTE: The Energy Saver settings, marked with a dot (•) or an asterisk (*), show which temperature settings will use the least energy.

6. Set LOAD SIZE (WATER LEVEL) control. Use RESET if agitation has started and more water is needed.

IMPORTANT: Holding the LOAD SIZE (WATER LEVEL) control in the RESET position can cause flooding of the washer.

7. Select the cycle according to the type of fabric being washed. Push the timer knob in and turn clockwise to the desired cycle and wash time.

8. Pull the timer knob out to start the water fill. Agitation will begin when the water reaches the level you selected.

The washer will stop (pause) shortly before the wash and rinse spins. Do not turn the timer through these pauses. They are part of the cycle.

39971

21

Operation

Timer

Although the washer cycles are automatic, the timer may be reset to lengthen, shorten or repeat a portion of a cycle.

To set or reset the timer, push timer knob in to stop the washer. Hold timer knob in firmly while turning it clockwise to the setting desired. Pull timer knob out to start the washer.

Soaking

Set the timer knob in the center of the word “RINSE” (this prevents the washer from spinning without first filling with water). Place the soaking product and clothes load in the washtub. Pull timer knob to start washer fill. After fill is completed and agitation has started, push the timer knob in. This will stop the washer. When the clothes have soaked the desired length of time, TURN THE TIMER KNOB TO THE END OF THE RINSE SETTING, then pull the timer knob out to start the spin.

CAUTION

Failure to turn the timer knob to the spin cycle and completely draining the washtub after soaking will result in the washer overflowing and causing property damage.

W256

Operation

Optional Features

Bleach Dispenser

The bleach dispenser is located in the left front corner, under the lid.

Use liquid bleach in the dispenser. Powdered bleach must not be used in the dispenser. Add powdered bleach to the wash water.

Carefully pour recommended amount of bleach into the dispenser during the first fill of the washer.

Fabric Softener Dispenser

To Use Dispenser

After the clothes are loaded into the washtub and before the start of the WASH cycle, pour the proper amount of liquid fabric softener into dispenser.

The large fabric softener dispenser allows for the fabric softener to be diluted with water. We recommend adding water up to the fill level. Overfilling can allow fabric softener to spill onto the clothes.

Use Tips

• Liquid fabric softeners will be dispensed during

the final rinse and should not be combined with bleach, bluing, starch, detergents, soaps or packaged water conditioners.

• When adding detergent to wash water, do not

allow any to enter into softener dispenser cup, as softener will become gummy.

To prevent softener buildup, the dispenser can be filled with clean water for automatic cleaning. This can be done in washing cycles other than when softener is used.

1

2

Setting the water level to medium or higher will result in better performance from the fabric softener.

The fabric softener will remain in the dispenser until the end of the wash spin, and will be dispensed into the incoming rinse water.

To Clean the Dispenser

Remove the dispenser housing from agitator by squeezing the lower part of the dispenser, pulling directly upward and at the same time tilting slightly. This will expose the dispenser cup, which is also removable for cleaning (refer to Figure 28). Both housing and cup can be soaked in hot soapy water and rinsed clean. The funnel shape in top of agitator also needs to be cleaned. The hole and the slots in the two rings will require using a small brush for proper cleaning.

After cleaning, install dispenser cup, then push dispenser housing down until firmly snapped together.

Maintenance

User-Maintenance Instructions

Cold Weather Care

If the washer is delivered on a cold day (below freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area during the cold months, do not attempt to operate it until the washer has had a chance to warm up.

Care of Your Washer

Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel.

Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach or other washing products are spilled on the cabinet, wipe immediately.

Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on any part of the washer.

The washtub will need no particular care though it may need rinsing or wiping after an unusual load has been washed.

Leave the lid open to allow the inside of the washer to dry out after use. This helps prevent musty odors from developing.

Replacing Hoses

Hoses and other natural rubber parts deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the temperature and constant high pressure they are subjected to.

Reinstallation of Shipping Materials

Shipping Brace

The shipping brace in the lid opening should be saved and reinstalled whenever the washer is moved. To reinstall the brace, open the washer lid and place the brace over the washer agitator, placing the back of the brace into the washtub first.

Shipping Plug

The plastic shipping plug should be saved and reinstalled any time the washer is moved. The plug fits into two openings: The base opening and the shipping plug opening on the bottom of the mobile pivot dome. The plug MUST be inserted into both openings to prevent damage to the washer. Refer to Figure 29.
