WASHER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others is 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 hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER” or
“WARNING.” These words mean:
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t
wDANGER
wWARNING
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t
follow instructions.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using
the washer, follow basic 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 vapours that
could ignite or explode.
Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning sol-
•
vents, or other flammable, or explosive
substances to the wash water. These
substances give off vapours 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.
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 door.
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.
See Installation Instructions for grounding
•
requirements.

OPERATING YOUR WASHER
To get the best washing results possible, you must use your washer correctly. This section tells
you how to use your washer properly and efficiently.
USING YOUR WASHER
wWARNING
Explosion 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, you may
•
also add powder or
liquid colour safe
bleach.
Add extra detergent
•
for the Super Wash
cycle.
2. Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your
washer, filling to the
top row of holes.
Load evenly to main-
•
tain washer balance.
Mix large and small
items.
Items should move
•
easily through the wash
water. Overloading can
cause poor cleaning.
To reduce wrinkling
of permanent press clothes and some synthetic
knits, use a large load size to provide more space
(see step 6).
•
wWARNING
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.
3. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid chlorine
bleach into the liquid
chlorine bleach dispenser. Bleach will
be diluted automatically
during the wash part of
the cycle.
Never use more than
•
250 mL (1 cup) for a full
load. Use less with a
smaller load size.
Follow the manufac-
turer’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.
Make sure you use only liquid chlorine bleach in
•
this dispenser.
•
continued on next page

OPERATING YOUR WASHER
USING YOUR WASHER (CONT.)
4. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid fabric
softener into the fabric
softener dispenser.
Do not spill or drip
•
any fabric softener on
the clothes.
Make sure you use
•
only liquid fabric
softener in this
dispenser.
Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dis-
•
penser with warm
water until liquid
reaches the
crossbar in the
opening.
Softener is added
•
automatically during
the rinse portion of
the cycle.
5. Close the washer lid.
7. Set the Water Temperature selector to the
correct setting for the
type of fabric and soils
being washed.
Use the warmest
•
water safe for fabric.
Follow garment label instructions.
•
HOT: 54°C (130°F) or above.
– Whites and pastels.
– Heavy and greasy soils.
WARM: 32 to 44°C (90 to 110°F).
– Bright colours.
– Moderate to light soils.
COLD: 21 to 32°C (70 to 90°F).
– Colours that bleed or fade.
– Light soils.
8. (OPTIONAL STEP) For an additional rinse and
spin at the end of a wash cycle, set the Extra
Rinse selector to On.
9. (OPTIONAL STEP) Set the Cycle Signal selector
to On if you want your washer to sound a signal
when the wash cycle is finished. This signal is
helpful when you are washing items that should
be removed from the washer as soon as the
cycle ends.
6. Turn the Load Size selector to the correct setting
for your wash load and
the type of fabric being
washed.
Your washer has five
•
load size settings.
Choose a load size
•
that allows the load to
move freely for best
fabric care. See the
“Loading” section.
Change the setting
after the washer has started filling by turning the
selector to a different setting.

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 “Understanding
normal washer sounds” to learn more about the
sounds you may hear during a wash cycle.
Refer to “Understanding what happens in each
•
cycle” to learn what happens during a wash cycle.

RINSE/DRAIN AND SPIN
OPERATING YOUR WASHER
Rinse and Spin feature
When using extra detergent for heavily soiled
clothes, or washing special-care items, you may
find an extra rinse and spin is needed.
For an additional rinse and spin, push in the
•
Cycle Control Knob and turn it clockwise to any
of the Rinse settings. The washer fills to the
selected load size, agitates, drains, and spins.
NOTE: An Extra Rinse option is also available. See
“Using your washer.”
MAGIC CLEAN* LINT FILTER
Your washer has a self-cleaning lint filter at the
bottom of the basket. Wash and rinse water flow
over the filter during agitation, separating the lint
from the water. The lint spins out of the system
during the spin part of the cycle.
If your washer drains into a tub, remove any lint
collected in the tub or strainer.
Drain and Spin feature
A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for
some heavy fabrics or special-care items by removing excess water.
For a drain and spin, push in the Cycle Control
•
Knob and turn it clockwise to any of the Spin
settings. Then pull out the Cycle Control Knob.
The washer drains, then spins.

UNDERSTANDING NORMAL WASHER SOUNDS
Your new washer may make sounds your old one
didn’t. Because the sounds may be unfamiliar, you
may be concerned about them. Don’t be; most of
them are normal.
The following describes some of the sounds you
may hear and what causes them.
During washing
When you select a small load size setting, your
washer has a lower water level. This may 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.
9
OPERATING YOUR WASHER
UNDERSTANDING WHAT HAPPENS IN EACH CYCLE
When the Cycle Control Knob is set to a number
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 XTRA ROLL ACTION* agitator
creates a continuous
rollover action that provides a thorough cleaning
of the wash load.

CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Cleaning the exterior
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any
spills such as detergent or bleach.
Occasionally wipe the outside of
your washer to keep it looking new.
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.
Cleaning the interior
Clean your washer interior by mixing 250 mL (1 cup)
of chlorine bleach and 500 mL (2 cups) of detergent.
Pour this into your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot water. Repeat this process if
necessary.
NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only
cleaners labeled as washer safe.
WINTER STORAGE, MOVING, VACATION 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.
To winterize washer:
1. Shut off both water faucets.
2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
3. Put 1 L (1 quart) of R.V.-type antifreeze in
the basket.
4. Run washer on a drain and spin setting (see,
the “Rinse/Drain and Spin” section) for about
30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and water.
5. Unplug the power supply cord.
To use washer again:
1. Flush water pipes and hoses.
2. Reconnect water inlet hoses.
3. Turn on both water faucets.
4. Reconnect power supply cord.
5. Run the washer through a complete cycle with
250 mL (1 cup) of detergent to clean out antifreeze.
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 the power supply cord or turn off electrical
•
power to the washer.
Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps
•
avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure
surge) while you are away.
