For more information refer to the Use and Care Guide or call the phone numbers on the Warranty.

INSTALLING YOUR WASHER

1. Remove shipping material for proper operation and to

avoid excessive noise from washer.

2. Connect drain hoses

Top of standpipe must be at least 990 mm (39") high; install no higher than 1.22 m (48") from bottom of washer.

IMPORTANT: 114 mm (4.5") of drain hose should be inside

standpipe; do not force excess hose into standpipe or lay on bottom of laundry tub. Drain hose form must be used.

USING YOUR WASHER

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

• Sort garments by recommended cycle, water temperature,

and colorfastness.

• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers

from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels or woolen sweaters.

NOTE: Always read and follow fabric label instructions

to avoid damage to your garments.

2. Add detergent and fabric softener: Without Dispenser

• Add detergent to the bottom of the washer basket before

adding clothes. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the agitator.

With Dispenser

• Pour detergent and liquid fabric softener into dispenser.

NOTE: Do not pour detergent or fabric softener onto

clothes. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount to use. Do not use more than the recommended amount of detergent or fabric softener.

3. Connect both water inlet hoses

If you have only one faucet, connect both hoses through a “Y” adapter.

4. Level washer with oor to reduces excess noise

and vibration.

5. Plug washer into a 3 prong, grounding-type outlet.

Do not use an extension cord or adapter.

3. Use of fabric softener

Dilute liquid fabric softener with warm water according to

recommendations on package. Use dispenser or agitator opening (depending on model).

NOTE: Fabric Softener option must be selected when using

fabric softener or put in during the nal rinse of the cycle. Do not pour fabric softener onto clothes.

4. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the agitator.

IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack or force items into washer.

Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

5. Select cycle and options

Turn cycle knob to choose your wash cycle. When knob is lined up with a cycle, you will hear a clicking sound. Once you select a cycle, the default settings for that cycle will light up. Select any other cycle settings and options, if desired.

NOTE: Not all options are available with all cycles.

6. Select Start to begin a wash cycle.
