Awarning

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your washer, fol low basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before

using the washer.

• NEVER wash items cleaned,

washed, soaked in or spotted with wax, paint, gasoline, or flammable fluids in the washer. The fumes can create a FIRE HAZARD or

EXPLOSION. ALWAYS hand

launder and air dry fabrics contain ing these materials.

• NEVER allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.

• When discarding an old washer,

ALWAYS remove the lid to prevent accidental entrapment.

• NEVER put your hands Into the

washer until all motion stops. If the lid is opened while the basket is spinning, the basket will automati cally stop in a few seconds.

• DO NOT tamper with controls.

• NEVER use or store flammable

fluids (dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene) in or near your washer. DO NOT add flammable fluids to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that can create a

FIRE HAZARD or EXPLOSION.

- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -

• If hot water has not been used recently (usually 2 weeks or longer), hydrogen gases may build up in the water heater and the hot water pipes HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. To prevent injury or

damage, before using your washer, turn on all hot water faucets and allow water to run for several minutes. This will allow gases to escape. DO NOT smoke or use any open flame near the faucet while it is open.

• You are responsible for mak ing sure that your washer:

- is installed, repaired, and has

parts replaced by a qualified person.

Starting your washer

Be sure to measure and add detergent, then place a sorted load in the washer before

starting it.

1. Select a load size

RESET

EX SMALL MEDIUM EX LARGE

INFINITE WATER SAVING

LOAD SIZE SELECTOR

• Position the Load Size Selector at the setting that describes the size of load you want to wash.

• The selector can be set anywhere on or between EX SMALL (a tew small items) and EX LARGE (a full load).

• To change the water level after the washer has started to fill, slide the selector to RESET, then to the desired water level.

NOTE; For best washing results, items should move freely in the washer. Do

not overload the washer or choose a

water level that is too low for your wash

load.

For best results with permanent press clothes, use the EX LARGE water level.

Reduce wash time when using EX

SMALL or SMALL water level settings.

Loads with only a few small items need less wash time for best results.

TEMPERATURE SELECTOR

----------

2. Touch a temperature selection

• Match the water temperature to the type of fabric and soils being washed.

• The top temperature is the wash selection and the bottom temperature is the rinse selection.

• An indicator shows which temperature has been selected.

NOTE: Use warm wash water with the

PERMANENT PRESS or KNITS

GENTLE Cycles.

For heavily soiled permanent press or knit clothes, pre-soak before washing in warm water.

ALWAYS use cold rinse water for permanent press fabrics.

3. Select cycle and wash time

Start the washer

• Push in the Cycle Control Knob and turn it clockwise.

• Stop when the indicator on the knob's outer ring points to the number in the wash cycle you want. The numbers are minutes of wash time.

• Start the washer by pulling out the Cycle Control Knob. The washer will fill to the selected water level with the selected wash water temperature. After filling, the washer will agitate for the selected number of minutes.

• To stop the washer at any time, push in the Cycle Control Knob. To restart the washer, pull out the Cycle Control Knob.

What happens in each cycle

Each cycle has different agitation and spin speeds designed for different kinds of fabrics.

Numbers on the dial In each cycle are

the minutes of wash agitation time.

When the Cycle Control Knob is set to a number and pulled out, the washer fills before agitation and timing starts. After agitation starts, the knob turns clockwise until it points to OFF and the cycle ends.

The washer will pause briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal. They allow for the reversing of the motor, normal washer operation and the cool-down portion of the PERMANENT PRESS Cycle.

NOTE: You may hear the sound of

water spraying during the spin parts of some cycles. In some cycles, water is sprayed on the spinning load to help with the rinsing.

Gentle Wash System

For better fabric care in the REGULAR and PERMANENT PRESS Cycles, the agitation speed is reduced during the last few minutes of wash agitation time.
