WASHER 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:

! DANGER

WARNING

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: 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 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.

■ 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 or lid.
■ Do not reach into the washer if the drum, 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 manual or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
■ See “Electrical Requirements” located in the installation instructions for grounding instructions.

WARNING

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.

First wash cycle without laundry

Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during the final installation step, choose the QUICK WASH cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE detergent. Use 1/2 the manufacturer's recommended amount for a medium-size load. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and, over time, build-up of mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

Line drawing of a women's shoulder pants with two side pockets and a belt buckle (no text or symbols)

Illustration of decorative items including a pig, rabbit, and button-like shapes (no text or symbols)

Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and colorfastness. Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled. Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. Treat stains promptly and check for colorfastness by testing stain remover products on an inside seam.

WARNING

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.

IMPORTANT:

■ Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can plug pumps and may require a service call.
■ 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.
■ Turn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
- Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because heat can set stains into fabric.
■ Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage to your garments.

2. Load laundry into washer

Line drawing of a washing machine with an open door opening into the air (no text or symbols)

Open the washer door. Place a load of sorted clothes loosely in the washer. Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling. Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the latch clicks.

■ Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close easily. See “Cycle Guide” for loading suggestions.
■ Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items. Load evenly.
■ Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items, use more than one bag and fill bags equally.

CLEANING THE DOOR SEAL

1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from the washer.
2. Inspect the gray colored seal between the door opening and the basket for stained areas. Pull back the seal to inspect all areas under the seal and to check for foreign objects.

Seal

1. If stained areas are found, wipe down these areas of the seal, using the procedure that follows.

a) Mix a dilute solution, using 3/4 cup (177 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach, and 1 gal. (3.8 L) of warm tap water.
b) Wipe the seal area with the dilute solution, using a damp cloth.
c) Let stand 5 minutes.
d) Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry cloth and let the washer interior air dry with door open.

IMPORTANT: Wear rubber gloves when cleaning for prolonged periods. Refer to the bleach manufacturer's instructions for proper use.

NON-USE AND VACATION CARE

Operate your washer only when you are home. If moving, or not using your washer for a period of time, follow these steps:

1. Unplug or disconnect power to washer.
2. Turn off water supply to washer to avoid flooding due to water pressure surges.

WINTER STORAGE CARE

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, install and store washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in hoses, freezing can damage washer. If storing or moving during freezing weather, winterize your washer.

To winterize washer:

1. Shut off both water faucets, disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
2. Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in basket and run washer on RINSE AND SPIN cycle for about 30 seconds to mix antifreeze and remaining water.
3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace inlet hoses every five years and periodically inspect for kinks, cuts, wear or water leaks.

HELPFUL TIP: When replacing your inlet hoses, mark replacement date on label with a permanent marker.

TRANSPORTING YOUR WASHER

1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
2. If washer will be moved during freezing weather, follow WINTER STORAGE CARE directions before moving.
3. Disconnect drain hose from drain system and from back of washer.
4. Unplug power cord.
5. Place inlet hoses and drain hose inside washer basket.
6. Bundle power cord with a rubber band or cable tie to keep it from hanging onto the ground.

IMPORTANT: Call for service to install new transport bolts. Do not reuse transport bolts. Washer must be transported in the upright position. To avoid structural damage to your washer, it must be properly set up for relocation by a certified technician.

	Washer may not be level.	Check floor for flexing or sagging. If flooring is uneven, a 3/4" (19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.
		See “Level the Washer” in Installation Instructions.
	Load could be unbalanced or too large.	Avoid tightly packing the load. Avoid washing single items. Balance a single item such as a rug or jeans jacket with a few extra items.
		Use Bulky Item cycle for oversized, non-absorbent items such as comforters or poly-filled jackets. Other items are not appropriate for Bulky Items cycle. See “Cycle Guide”.
		Item or load not suitable for selected cycle. See “Cycle Guide” and “Using Your Washer” in this Use and Care Guide.
Noises
Clicking or metallic noises	Door locking or unlocking.	The door will lock unlock and lock again. You will hear three clicks after pushing start. This is normal.
	Objects caught in washer drain system.	Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins could fall between basket and tub or may block pump. It may be necessary to call for service to remove items.
		It is normal to hear metal items on clothing such as metal snaps, buckles, or zippers touch against the stainless steel basket.

	Fill hose washers.	Are all four fill hose flat washers properly seated?
	Drain hose connection.	Check that the drain hose is properly secured to drainpipe or laundry tub.
	Check household plumbing for leaks or clogged sink or drain.	Water can backup out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check all household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water pipes, and faucets.)
Water or suds leaking from door or rear of cabinet	Not using HE detergent or using too much HE detergent.	Only use HE detergent. Suds from regular detergents can cause leaking from the door or rear of cabinet. Always measure detergent and follow manufacturer's directions based on your load requirements.
	Residue on door glass.	Periodically clean the the underside of the glass window to avoid potential leaks.
Washer not performing as expected
Load not completely covered in water.	Water level not visible on door or does not cover clothes.	This is normal for an HE front load washer. The washer senses load sizes and adds the correct amount of water for optimal cleaning.
