Speed Queen SLW110RAW - Important Safety Information - 1

WARNING

To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury, or death when using your washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

  1. Read all instructions before using washer.
  2. Be sure washer is properly grounded.
  3. Do not wash articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. Vapors could ignite or explode.
  4. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to wash water. Vapors could ignite or explode.
  5. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.
  6. Do not allow children to play on or in washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when washer is used near children, a safety rule for all appliances.
  7. Before washer is removed from service or discarded, remove door to washing compartment.
  8. Do not reach into washer if wash tub is moving or agitator is moving.
  9. Do not install or store washer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
  10. Do not tamper with washer controls.
  11. Do not repair or replace any part of washer or attempt any service, unless specifically recommended in user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have skills to

carry out.
12. To reduce risk of electric shock or fire, do not use extension cords or adapters to connect washer to electrical power source.
13. Use your washer only for its intended purpose: non-commercial clothes washing.
14. Always disconnect washer from electrical supply before attempting any service. Disconnect power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
15. Install washer according to Installation Instructions. All connections for water, drain, electrical power, and grounding must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required.
16. To reduce risk of fire, do not use washer to launder clothes which have traces of any flammable substance, such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or chemicals, such as mops and cleaning cloths. Flammable substances may cause fabric to catch fire by itself.
17. Use only fabric softeners or products to eliminate static that are appropriate for automatic washers.
18. Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or dropping washer can damage safety features. If damage occurs, have washer checked by qualified service technician.
19. Replace worn power cords and/or

loose plugs.
20. Loading door must be closed whenever washer is agitating or spinning. Do not bypass loading door switch by permitting washer to operate with loading door open.
21. Always read and follow manufacturer's instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep products away from children at all times, preferably, in a locked cabinet.
22. Never operate washer with guards and/or panels removed.
23. Do not operate washer with missing or broken parts.
24. Do not bypass safety devices.
25. 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 a 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.

Speed Queen SLW110RAW - WARNING - 1

  1. Do not pause an active cycle for longer than thirty minutes. Pressure switch may reset and cause tub to overfill.

  2. Always turn Load Level knob to RESET before changing a water level.

  3. DO NOT hold Load Level knob at RESET. Water will continue to fill as long as knob is held at RESET.

If These Controls are Different from Yours

These controls are intended to show the variety of features that are available in the product line. If your washer does not have all the options that are shown, it is not a mistake. The information provided applies to several of the models in the product line.

What do the little numbers mean?

Numbers next to cycle setting shows the approximate total agitation time. The total wash time includes periods of soaking and is longer than the agitation time.

REGULAR

Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes, towels, T-shirts, etc.

PRE-WASH

PRE-WASH automatically advances into the REGULAR wash cycle. Use to wash heavily soiled clothes twice with detergent in each cycle.

To deliver extra detergent,

  • LIQUID DETERGENT: place in fabric softener dispenser for use in second wash. DO NOT use dispenser for fabric softener.
  • POWDER DETERGENT: place extra detergent in tub for use in first wash; recommend approximately 1 12 times normal amount.

PERMANENT PRESS/KNITS

Use for clothes that recommend a permanent press cycle and other synthetics.

DELICATE

Use to wash delicate items often washed by hand. Even with small loads, full tub of water is recommended so items can move freely for more complete cleaning. More water also helps reduce fabric wear and wrinkling. To protect delicate fabrics, washer speed automatically runs at Gentle/Slow, regardless of position of speed selector switch.

SOAK (SOME MODELS)

Use for heavily soiled or stained items. Washtub fills with water, pauses approximately 12 minutes for soaking, and spins water out to complete cycle.

HAND WASH

(SOME MODELS)

Use for fine fabrics normally washed by hand. To protect fragile fabrics, washer speed automatically runs at Gentle/Slow, regardless of position of speed selector switch.

Bleach Dispenser

Bleach dispenser is located in left front corner under loading door.

Speed Queen SLW110RAW - Bleach Dispenser - 1

text_image Bleach dispenser

Use only liquid bleach in dispenser. To use powdered bleach, add to wash tub with detergent.

Carefully pour recommended amount of bleach into dispenser during first washer fill. See table.

Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach. It is a strong chemical and can damage cabinet finishes and some fabrics if not properly diluted. Follow bleach manufacturer's label for proper use.

Fabric Softener Dispenser

Fabric softener dispenser is located on top of agitator. Dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at proper time during rinse cycle.

Speed Queen SLW110RAW - Fabric Softener Dispenser - 1

text_image Fabric softener dispenser

Fabric Softener Use Tips

  • Liquid fabric softeners are dispensed during final rinse. Do not combine with bleach, bluing, starch, detergents, soaps, or packaged water conditioners during rinse.
  • Do not use fabric softener in dispenser during PRE WASH cycle.
  • Do not mix powdered detergent with liquid softener in dispenser or softener will become gummy.

To use dispenser, follow these steps:

  1. Pour liquid fabric softener into dispenser, using amount recommended on package.
  2. Add water up to fill level, but do not exceed tip of fill arrow indicator. FABRIC SOFTENER MUST BE DILUTED FOR USE.

  3. Do not stop washer during first spin or dispenser will empty too soon.

  4. Never pour fabric softener directly onto clothes or spots and stains may result. To remove softener stains, soak in soapy solution of Sard™ Wonder Soap or Ivory™ soap, or rub stain with bar of Sard™ or Ivory™ soap and wash garment as usual.
  5. For best softener performance, set water level to medium or higher.

3. Clean softener dispenser after

each use. Remove dispenser housing from agitator by squeezing lower part of dispenser and pulling up on housing while tilting slightly to expose dispenser cup. Rinse dispenser housing and cup in hot soapy water.

Speed Queen SLW110RAW - Clean softener dispenser after - 1

natural_image Illustration of a hand washing a sink with a faucet (no text or symbols)

Clean funnel shape in top of agitator and inside of agitator. Use small brush on hole and slots in two funnel rings for thorough cleaning.

After cleaning, re-install dispenser cup. Push dispenser housing directly down onto top of agitator until firmly snapped together.

To prevent build-up, fill dispenser with clean water in wash cycles when not using softener.

Features, Hints, and Care

Need more Time? Reset the Timer Knob.

Although wash cycles are automatic, timer may be reset to lengthen, shorten, or repeat a portion of a cycle.

To set or reset timer, push in timer knob to stop washer. Hold in timer knob firmly while slowly turning it to desired setting. Pull out timer knob to start washer.

Stops and Starts

Wash action consists of periods of agitation, with pauses or periods of soaking. For best results, do not turn timer through pauses, which are normal part of wash cycles.

Cleaner Clothes

Water temperature affects how clean clothes become. If your clothes are not as clean as you would like, you may need to raise the temperature on your water heater. Check your water heater manufacturer's recommendations, as well as local codes, for assistance. Also, check that your water hoses are hooked up correctly. If they are switched you might be getting cold water in your warm and hot cycles.

Hard water does not remove soil as well as soft water. Check with your local water company to see if you have hard water. If you have hard water, try softening it with a packaged conditioner or use a little more detergent.

Risers

Risers or air cushions may be installed if pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. Risers are more efficient

Lint Filter

Speed Queen's self cleaning lint filter works throughout the wash cycle to constantly remove lint and other residue from the water. Located between the outer and inner tub, the lint filter removes lint as water passes from the bottom of the outer tub back to the inner tub. As water passes from the outer tub to the inner tub, water is forced through the bottom of the lint filter. The filter traps lint under the filter until the spin cycle begins. During the spin cycle centrifugal force removes the lint by pulling it off the bottom of the filter and washing it down the drain.

Motor Overload Protector

Internal overload protector automatically stops motor in event of overload. Overload protector resets in approximately 3 minutes and motor automatically restarts. If overload protector stops motor again, stop using washer and call service technician. Loading wash tub too full may result in motor overload.

Automatic Balance System

Your new washer will automatically adjust to unbalanced loads without shutting down or interrupting the cycle. The cycle will automatically complete at the fastest spin speed possible.

In a severe out-of-balance condition, clothes may contain excessive moisture. If this should happen, simply redistribute the clothes, and reset the control to the spin mark after the rinse setting in the regular cycle.

Safety Lid Switch

The washer will not spin when the lid is open for any reason. This is for your personal safety. If the lid is opened mid-cycle, operation will automatically start when lid is closed.

General Washer Care

  • Use only damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning control panel. Some cleaning product sprays may harm control panel finish or may damage interior of hood.
  • Wipe washer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach, or other washing products are spilled on cabinet, wipe immediately. Some products will cause permanent damage if spilled on cabinet.
  • Top of washer should not be used for removing garment stains. Some stain removers, such as rust remover, may damage cabinet finish.
  • Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
  • Do not lay sharp or rough objects on or against washer. Finish could be damaged.
  • Remove pins, buckles, or other sharp objects from clothes to prevent scratching interior parts.
  • Leave lid open after use to allow inside of washer to dry, and to help prevent musty odors from developing.
  • Do not allow small children to play on or around washer.
  • Do not move washer without reinstalling shipping brace (Part #39365) and shipping plug (Part #38149). See Moving Washer to New Location section.

Moving and Storage

Cold Storage and Non-Use Periods

Speed Queen SLW110RAW - Cold Storage and Non-Use Periods - 1

CAUTION

Explosive hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. Before using washer, if hot water system has not been used for such a period, turn on all hot water faucets and let water flow for several minutes to release accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable: Do not smoke or use an open flame when flushing water lines.

Cold Weather Care

If washer is delivered when outside temperature is below freezing or if washer is stored in unheated room or area during cold months, do not operate until washer has warmed to room temperature. Do not install or operate washer where temperatures will drop below freezing.

Cold Weather Storage

If washer must be stored in seasonal home or storage building, use one of the following storage methods.

METHOD 1

  1. Turn off water supply faucets and disconnect hoses. Drain water from both hoses.
  2. Add one gallon of non-toxic RV antifreeze (available from hardware or recreational vehicle dealers) to washer tub.
  3. Push in cycle selector knob and turn to SPIN.
  4. Pull knob out and let washer spin for 1–2 minutes to drain water. Some antifreeze will also be lost. (If you have a septic system, contact antifreeze manufacturer and make sure it will not harm system.)
  5. Push in cycle selector knob to stop washer. Dry inner wash tub, disconnect electrical plug, and close washer lid. If moving washer, disconnect drain hose. Move and store washer ONLY in upright position. To remove antifreeze after storage, run washer through a complete cycle using 12 cup of detergent. DO NOT ADD CLOTHES TO CYCLE.

METHOD 2

  1. Push in cycle selector knob and turn to SPIN. Run through complete spin cycle to remove excess water.
  2. When spin cycle is complete, push in cycle selector knob to stop washer.
  3. Turn off water supply faucets and disconnect hoses. Drain water from both hoses.
  4. Dry inner wash tub, disconnect electrical plug, and close washer lid. If moving washer, disconnect drain hose. Move and store washer ONLY in upright position.
  5. It is normal for some water to remain inside pump. To prevent damage to washer and pump if remaining water freezes, allow washer to warm to 24 to 48 hours after removing from storage, so water can thaw before use.

Vacations and Extended Non-Use

IMPORTANT: To avoid possible property damage from flooding, turn off water supply to washer during extended periods of non-use.

To prevent mold or mildew, leave lid open so moisture inside machine can evaporate.

When closing your home for extended periods, have service technician drain washer to avoid stagnant water. Unplug cord from electrical outlet.

Disconnect hoses from faucets.

Moving Washer to New Location

Replace shipping plug under motor and shipping brace in tub. Refer to Installation Instructions for proper procedures whenever washer is moved. See illustration.
