Using Less Water and Energy

This washer is designed to use less water and energy, and complies with all 2015 energy standards. Wash cycles with controlled temperatures are designed to maintain cleaning performance while using less water and energy compared to older traditional washers. As a result, water levels will be lower, and hot and warm wash temperatures may not be as warm as you are used to.

00000 0

OooooC

Traditional washer

rm--_

Reduced water washer

Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow

Maintain good airflow:

[] Clean your lint screen before each load. [] Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)

diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use a plastic vent. Do not use a metal foil vent. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

Good airflow

Along with heat, dryers require good airflow to efficiently

dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and improve your energy savings. See Installation Instructions.

The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role

in good airflow. Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered

by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of who installed the dryer.

(102rnrn}

[] Use the shortest length of vent possible. [] Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;

each bend and curve reduces airflow.

Bet

[]

Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

[]

Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure

to follow the installation instructions supplied with your

dryer for final product check. Clear away items from the front of the dryer.

Use Automatic cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Automatic Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic Dry cycles, drying air temperature or moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the

dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. The Energy Preferred cycle will provide optimal energy savings.

With Timed Drying, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to

overdrying. Use Timed Drying for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

Using Your Washer

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.

Sort and prepare your laundry

• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can pass under the agitator and become trapped, causing

unexpected sounds.

• Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and colorfastness.

• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.

• Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.

• Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because heat can set stains into fabric.

• Treat stains promptly.

• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

• Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during washing.

Helpful Tips:

= When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load

evenly.

• Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when washing delicate or small items.

• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up

lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid damage to your garments.

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.

Add laundry products

Add a measured amount of detergent or single-dose laundry packet into the basket before adding clothes. If using Oxi-type

boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals, add to the bottom of the washer basket as well.

IMPORTANT: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of laundry products to use.

3. Load laundry into washer

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around basket wall. For best results, do not pack the load tightly. Do not wrap large

items such as sheets around the agitator; load them in loose piles around the sides of the basket. Try mixing different sized items to reduce tangling.

000000

Add fabric softener to dispenser (on 27" models)

Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into dispenser; always follow

manufacturer's directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size.

Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches the underside of the rim. See max fill

line arrows. Do not overfill. Adding Liquid Fabric Softener Manually to Wash Load

On models without a fabric softener dispenser (24" models), or to add fabric softener manually on dispenser models, during the final rinse, wait until the washer has completed filling, then push in the Cycle knob to pause the washer. Lift the lid and add the measured recommended amount of liquid fabric softener (diluted with 1/2 to 1 cup [125 to 250 mL] warm water). Do not allow liquid fabric softener to spill, splash, drip, or run into the

basket or on load. Do not use more than the recommended amount. Close the lid and pull out the Cycle knob to start the

washer.

IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack or force items into washer. Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce

wrinkling and tangling.

f WASHER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and Performing at its Best

1o Always follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions

regarding the amount of detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended amount because that may increase the rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable

odor.

2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent

accumulate.

3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing

residue.

Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer Read these instructions completely before beginning the

routine cleaning processes recommended below.

Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 ram) above the floor

for a garage installation.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR

To clean dryer drum

1. Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until

stain is removed.

2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.

NOTE: Garments that contain loose dyes, such as denim

blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the

dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside

out to avoid drum staining.

REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT

From Inside the Dryer Cabinet

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done

by a qualified servicer. From the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage.

Every load cleaning

A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

On 27" models, the lint screen is located in the door opening

of the dryer. On 24" models, it is located inside the dryer on the back wall.

To clean:

1. On 27" models, pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.

On 24" models, pull out the lint screen and its cover, and separate the cover and the screen by squeezing the

screen and pulling on the cover at the same time. Roll

lint off the screen with your fingers.

27" models 24" models

On all models, do not rinse or wash the screen

to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

2. On 27" models, push the lint screen firmly back into place.

On 24" models, put the lint screen and its cover back

together and push firmly back into place.

IM PORTANI"."

[] Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose,

damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.

[] If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,

check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See "Venting Requirements" in the Installation Instructions.

As needed cleaning

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying

times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged

if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer. Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months,

or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.

To wash:

1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.

2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.

3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue

buildup.

27" models 24" models

4. Rinse screen with hot water.

5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Reinstall screen in dryer.

CHANGING THE DRUM LIGHT (on some models}

1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.

2. Open the dryer door. Locate the light bulb cover on the back wall of the dryer. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver,

remove the screw located in the lower right-hand corner of the cover. Remove the cover.

3. Turn bulb counterclockwise. Replace the bulb with a 10-watt appliance bulb only. Replace the cover and

secure with the screw.
