W ASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or
“WARNING.” These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
precautions, including the following:
■
Read all instructions before using the washer.
■
Do not wash articles 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.
■
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.
■
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 the washing machine, 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.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic
■
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.
■
Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded,
remove the lid.
■
Do not reach into the washer if the tub or agitator is
moving.
■
Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
■
Do not tamper with controls.
■
Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

W ASHER USE

Understanding W asher Cycles
When the Cycle Control knob is set to a num ber and pulled out, the washer fills (to the selected load size) before agitation and timing start. The washer begins agitating immediately after filling; agitation occurs with the washer lid up or down.
During agitation, the agitator creates a continuous rollover action that provides a thorough cleaning of the wash load.
After agitatio n starts, th e Cycle Co ntrol k nob turns clock wise until it points to an OFF area and the cycle ends.
NOTE: The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal for washer operation.

During washing
When you select a small load size setting, your washer has a lower water level. This can cause a clicking sound from the upper part of the agitator.
During drain
If water is drained quickly from your washer (depending on your installation), you may hear air being pulled through the pump during the end of draining.
After drain and before spin
When the cycle changes from draining to spinning, you may hear gears engaging.

Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of
oil on it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer . If desired, add powdered or liquid color safe bleach. Add extra detergent for the Ex-Heavy cycle.
Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer.
■ Load evenly to maintai n w a sher balance. Mix large and
small items.
■ Items should move easily through the wash water.
Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
■ To reduce wrin kling of pe rmanent press clothes and some
synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide more space (see step 5).
2. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid chlori ne bleach into the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser. Bleach will be dispensed automatically during the wash part of the cycle.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
■ Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Use
less with a smaller load size.
■ Follow the manufacturer’s directions for safe use.
■ To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not
let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer basket.
■ Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.
3. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some models). Softener is added automatically during the rinse portion of the cycle.
Dilute liquid fabric sof t en e r by fil lin g the di sp ens er wi th wa rm water until liquid reaches the crossbar i n the opening.

Selecting a Cyc le and Time
This section describes the available wash cycl es and will help you make the best cycle selections for your wash loads. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels.
■ The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These
pauses are normal. Refer to “Normal Washer Sounds” to learn more about the sounds you may hear during a wash cycle.
Cycle Control knob
Normal cycl e
This cycle features high-sp eed agitation and longer spin speeds to shorten drying time. Use this cycle for cleaning cotton and linen fabrics. Se lect up to 14 minu tes of wa sh time, de pending on whether your load is heavily, moderately, or lightly soiled.
Ex-Heavy - Select this 18-minute cycle to wash heavily soiled loads that need maximum soil removal. Use two times the recommended amount of detergent for this cycle.
Permanent Press cycle
This cycle features a cool-down rinse to help reduce wrinkling. Select up to 10 minutes of wash time for cleaning permanent press and some synthetic fabrics that are lightly to moderately soiled.
Gentle/Delicates
This cycle features low agitation speed for gentle soil removal. Low spin speeds help reduce wrinkling. Use this 6-minute cycle for cleaning lightly to moderately soiled delicat e items and washable knits.
Gentle cycle
This cycle features a brief series of agitations and soaks, followed by a short spin. Select up to 6 minutes of wash time to gently clean special-care items that are lightly to moderately soiled.
Pre-Wash cycle
This cycle features a brief period of agitation to help remove heavy soils and stains that need pretreatment. Use the amount of detergent or presoak additive recommended by the manufacturer . After the Pre-Wash cycle ends, add detergent and set a new wash cycle.
Rinse and Spin
When using extra detergent for heavily soiled clothes, or washing special-care items, you may find an extra rinse and spin is needed.
1. Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to any of the Rinse settings.
2. Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer fills to the selected load size, agitates, drains, and spins.

Page 8
Drain and Spin
A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy fabrics or spe ci al - ca re items by removing excess water.
1. Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to any of the Spin settings.
2. Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer drains, then spins.
Adding Liquid Fabric Softener
Always dilute fabric softener with ½ to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water. Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics.
■ Add diluted fabric softener only in the final rinse.
■ Fabric softener should not be mixed with other laundry
products. Greasy stains can form. To remove greasy stains, wet the stain and rub with liquid detergent or a bar of soap. Rewash.
■ Too much fabric softener can make some items (diapers and
towels) nonabsorbent. If this happens, use less fabric softener, or do not use it every time.
Self-Cleaning Lint Filter
Your washer has a self-clean ing lint filter at the bottom of the basket. Wash and rinse water flow over the filter during a gitation, separating the lint fr om the wate r. The li nt spin s out o f the sys tem during the spin part of the cycle.
If your washer drains into a tub, remove any lint collected in the tub or strainer.

W ASHER CARE

Cleaning Y our Washer
Cleaning the exterior
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as detergent or bleach. Occasionally w ipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking new.
Cleaning the interior
Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent. Pour this into your washer and run it through a complete cycle u sing hot water. Repeat this process if necessary.
NOTE: Remove any hard water depo sits using only cleaners labeled as washer safe.
Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser
Flush dispenser periodically with warm water, as shown. Remove the dispenser by grasping the top of the dispenser with both hands and squeezing and pushing upwards with thumbs. Clean the dispenser by rinsing it under a water faucet. Replace it after cleaning.
NOTE: Do not wash clothes with this dispenser removed. Do not add detergent or bleach to this dispenser; it is for liquid fabric softener use only.
W ater Inlet Hoses
Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically in spect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent marker.
V acation, Storage and Mo ving Care
Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather , winterize it.
Non-use or vacation care
Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time, you should:
■ Unplug washer or disconnect power.
■ Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid
accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.
To winteri ze was her
1. Shut off both water faucets.
2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
3. Put 1 quart (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket.
4. Run washer on a d rain an d spin se tting (s ee “Dra in and S pin”)
for about 30 seconds to mix the anti f reeze and water.
5. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
To use washer again
1. Flush water pipes and hoses.
2. Reconnect water inlet hoses.
3. Turn on both water faucets.
4. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
