WARNING

WARNING - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

CAUTION

CAUTION - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor personal injury.

WARNING

Toreduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when using your washer, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. As with any equipment using electricity and having moving parts, there are potential hazards. To use this appliance safely, the operator should become familiar with the instructions for operation of the appliance and always exercise care when using it.
3. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
4. Install and level washer on a floor that can support the weight.

5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not grounded adequately and in accordance with local and national codes. See installation instructions for grounding this appliance.

6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:

a. Do not wash items 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. Hand wash and line dry any items containing these substances.

Any material on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in the washer until all traces of these liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.

These items include acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

b. 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.
c. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a

Safety

washing machine or combination washer-dryer, 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.

1. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving.
2. Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front of the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children and pets.
3. Do not tamper with controls.
4. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
5. Unplug power supply cord before attempting to service your washer.

6. The agitator should not be removed. If the agitator is removed, it must be replaced by pushing down completely and the locking screw tightened before the washer is operated.

7. Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry place where children cannot reach them.

8. Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with vegetable or cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.
9. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids (such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.
10. Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in following loads and cause skin irritation.
11. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.
12. Inlet hoses are subject to damage and deterioration over time. Check the hoses periodically for bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks and replace them every five years.

Operating Tips

Detergent

• Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent. For best results, be sure detergent is added to the washer BEFORE the load and be sure the wash water is above 60^ F.
• Use the correct amount of detergent for the load size, soil level and water conditions. Use more detergent if you have hard water and very soiled loads.

If you have soft water or a lightly soiled load, use less detergent. (See manufacturer's instructions.)

• Wipe up any detergent spills on the washer.

Loading

• Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to the top row of holes for a maximum load.
• Do not wrap large items like sheets around the agitator.
• Mix large and small items for best circulation. Wash bulky items like blankets separately.
• W hen laundering no iron items or items of delicate construction, washable woolens or loosely knit items, never use less than the MEDIUM water level setting. This will minimize shrinkage, wrinkling and pulling of seams.
• F or best results add the detergent to the washtub before adding the load.
• Close lid carefully to avoid slamming.

Additional tips

• During the spin, it is possible for the load to become unevenly distributed in the tub. If this happens, push in the control knob, open the lid, redistribute the load, close the lid and pull out the control knob. The spin will resume at the point it was interrupted.
• T he washer will pause briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal.

• T his washer is designed so that it will not spin or agitate when the lid is open. It will, however, fill with the lid open so water is available for pretreating stains or diluting fabric softener.

• If you open the lid during a spin cycle, the washer will stop. When the lid is closed and the control dial pulled out, the washer will continue the cycle at the point it was interrupted.

For detailed information on sorting, pretreating stains, etc., see the enclosed Laundering Tips brochure.

STEP 1

Select Load Size

Determine the selected setting based on clothes load size.

On select models, the infinite control allows you to select a specific setting or anywhere in between.

It may become necessary, due to bulky fabrics, to adjust the water level after agitation begins. To adjust the water level, turn the control to reset and then back to the desired setting.

Note

• Items must circulate freely for best results.

WATER LEVEL SETTING	LOAD SIZE
Mini 1/4 Full
Small (select models)	1/4 – 1/3 Full
Medium 1/3 – 1/2	Full
Large 1/2 – 3/4	Full
Super Plus 3/4 Full	– Full

STEP 2

Extra Rinse (if desired)

Provides an additional rinse near the end of the cycle to more completely remove laundry additives, perfumes, etc.

STEP 3

Select Wash/Rinse Temperature

Your washer provides you with a choice of hot, warm or cold water for washing and cold or warm water (select models) for rinsing.

Automatic Temperature Control (A.T.C.) (select models) provides the optimal wash water temperature for cleaning. To save energy, this washer will regulate wash water temperatures by mixing hot and cold water to reach the proper water temperature.

(select models)

Intermittent slowest agitation and soak to gently wash the most delicate items.

Handwash

Intermittent slow agitation and soak for delicate fabrics needing slow spin speed because of clothing construction.

Regular Cycle

Regular Cycle is used for normal, sturdy fabrics and uses the following settings:

HEAVY: approximately 15 minutes of wash time.

NORMAL: approximately 12 minutes of wash time.

LIGHT: approximately 9 minutes of wash time.

No Iron Fabrics

This cycle is designed for sturdy fabrics needing a slower spin speed to reduce wrinkling, such as dress shirts and dress pants.

NORMAL: approximately 12 minutes of wash time.

LIGHT: approximately 9 minutes of wash time.

STEP 6

Pull Control Dial Out to Start

You may stop the washer at any time by simply pushing the control dial IN. Therefore it is possible to obtain a non-agitated soak or to shorten, skip or repeat any part of a cycle. The control dial must be pushed IN (off position) when you change the setting.

See Laundering Tips for proper washing procedures, stain removal, and special laundering situations.

Special Features

Bleach Dispenser

The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches your wash load. To use, follow these steps:

1. Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully, following the instructions on the bottle.
2. Add the bleach to the dispenser before adding the load. Avoid splashing or over-filling the dispenser.

Note

• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the wash tub. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as tearing or color loss, if not used properly.
• If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine bleach, pour it into the wash tub with your detergent. Do not pour non-chlorine bleaches into the bleach dispenser.

Pour liquid chlorine bleach into bleach dispenser.

Fabric Softener Dispenser

This dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the cycle. To use, follow these steps:

1. Pour a measured amount of desired liquid into the dispenser to fill line only.
2. If liquid comes below line, add warm water.

Note

• Do not stop the washer during the first spin. This will cause the dispenser to empty too soon.
• Never pour fabric softener directly on the load. It will leave spots and stains.
• Use the dispenser for liquid fabric softeners only.

Pour liquid fabric softener into cup and dilute with warm water.

Quick Facet (select models)

Provides a flow of water when holding the switch in the "On" position.

Care & Cleaning

Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day's washing. This will shut off the water supply to the washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from escaping water.

Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other spills as they occur.

Clean the following as recommended:

Control Panel - clean with a soft, damp cloth and glass cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads.

Cabinet - clean with soap and water followed with an appliance wax, if desired.

Lint Filter - it is self-cleaning and requires no maintenance. The filter is located under the agitator

on the bottom of the

washtub. During the wash and rinse portion of the cycle, lint is collected on the filter. Then during the spin and drain the filter is cleaned automatically.

Fabric Softener Dispenser

If it is necessary to clean the dispenser:

1. Pull the dispenser off of the top of the agitator.
2. Soak for one hour in sink or container in hot water and dishwashing liquid.
3. Hold hands over top and bottom of dispenser and shake to loosen buildup.

Storing the Washer

Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare the washer for storage as follows:

• Select Regular, Light, and add one cup of chlorine bleach OR white vinegar to a full load of water without clothes. Run the washer through a complete cycle.

Note

• Do not mix bleach and vinegar in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.

• Rinse with clean, hot water.

• Repeat process if necessary.
• Replace dispenser on agitator.

Do not use dishwashing liquid inside the washer. Oversudsing can occur.

Interior - hard water deposits may be removed, if needed, using a recommended cleaner labeled washer safe.

The interior of the washer should be cleaned periodically to remove dirt, soil, odor or bacteria residue that may remain in the washer as a result of washing clothes. We recommend taking the following steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your washer interior. The frequency with which the washer should be cleaned and freshened depends on factors such as usage, the amount of dirt, soil or bacteria being run through your washer, or the use of cold water.

To clean and freshen the washer interior:

1. Add a measured amount of chlorine bleach to the bleach dispenser, following package directions.
2. Add 1/4 cup of detergent to the tub.
3. Run the washer through a complete cycle using hot water.

4. Repeat the process if necessary.

5. T urn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.

6. Advance the cycle control knob to Spin and lower the drain hose to eliminate any water that may be in the drain hose.
7. Disconnect the washer from the electrical supply and leave the washer lid open to let air circulate inside the tub.

For problem laundry solutions (i.e. fabric damage, residue, tangling) and special laundry care procedures, see the enclosed Laundering Tips brochure.
