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.
■

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.

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

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.

■ 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

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.
