5. 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 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. THE GAS IS

FLAMMABLE. DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN

OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.

6. Do not allow children to play on or in the

washer. Close supervision of children is

necessary when the washer is used near

children. This is a safety rule for all appliances.

This appliance is not intended for use by young

children or infirm persons without supervision.

Young children should be supervised to ensure

that they do not play with the appliance.

7. Before the washer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to the washing

compartment.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum

is moving.

9. Do not install or store the washer where it will

be exposed to water and/or weather.

10. Do not tamper with the controls.

11. Do not repair or replace any part of the

washer, or attempt any servicing unless

specifically recommended in the user-

maintenance instructions or in published user-

repair instructions that you understand and

have the skills to carry out.

12. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire,

DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter

to connect the washer to the electrical power

source.

13. Use your washer only for its intended purpose,

washing clothes.

14. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from

electrical supply before attempting any

16. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes which have

traces of any flammable substances such as

vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, flammable

chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything containing

wax or chemicals such as in mops and cleaning

cloths, must not be put into the washer. These

flammable substances may cause the fabric

to catch on fire by itself.

17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or

product.

18. Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping

or dropping the washer can damage safety

features. If this occurs, have your washer

checked by a qualified service person.

19. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.

changes from what is normally heard, call an

authorized service agent immediately to

prevent possible damage to other

components.

24. Never start a cycle and leave the property

without first checking to make sure the wash

cycle is complete.

Operation

Before Washing

Prepare Wash Load

Empty Pockets and Cuffs

Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them

inside out. One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail

or sharp object in a load can catch laundry, cause

tears and plug the pump. Facial tissue left in a

pocket will produce extreme “lint”. A crayon or

lipstick in a wash load may cause stains that

cannot be removed. Roll down cuffs and shake out

grass, sand and gravel.

Mend Rips and Tears

Little holes can become bigger in the washer. Mend

holes and tears before placing garments in the

washer.

Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks

These can catch on garments in a wash load and

tear them. Tie belts and sashes so they won’t wind

around clothes.

Put Small Items in Bag

Small items such as baby socks may get stuck

around the door. Put them inside a mesh garment

bag.

Check For Colorfastness

Squeeze a portion of garment in warm or hot sudsy

water. If the color bleeds or runs, wash the item

separately in cold water.

Sorting Items

Different items use different wash cycles and

temperatures. Always follow the manufacturer’s

care label. Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few

guidelines:

1. Sort by Color:

Separate items into loads of

whites, darks, lights and non-

colorfast.

2. Sort by Fabric and Construction:

Separate items into loads of

cottons/linens, permanent press,

synthetics/blends/poly knits, and

delicates.

3. Sort by Temperature:

Separate items into loads

that can be washed in cold,

warm or hot water.

4. Sort by Type and Amount of Soil:

Heavily soiled clothes will need extra

treatment. Lightly soiled clothes can become

dingy if washed with heavily soiled items.

5. Sort Lint “Shedders” From Lint “Receivers”:

Some fabrics attract lint and should not be

washed with lint-shedding loads. Lint

shedders are cottons, terry towels, chenille

bedspreads, rugs and clothes that have been

heavily bleached.

Lint receivers are synthetics, permanent or

durable press, knits (including socks),

corduroy, and other smooth fabrics.

Pretreat

Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pretreat

product or liquid detergent when placing them in

the washer. Before washing, treat special stains

individually. Refer to Stain Removal section for

procedures on treating specific stains.

Loading the Washer

Load Articles

•Load items by the amount of space they take up,

not by their weight. Mix large and small items in a

load to get the best washing results.

•Load items loosely into the wash drum. The bulk of

the clothes rather than the weight will determine

load size.

Bulky Items

•Use the HANDWASH/DELICATE cycle for bulky

items such as blankets and comforters. The cycle

includes gentle agitation to clean items delicately

and thoroughly. The extra rinse cycle may be

selected to ensure complete removal of soap

residue. A final spin extracts the moisture at a low

speed to maintain the load’s balance and minimize

wear to the articles.

Load Sizes

•Load sizes vary. Small and large items should be

washed together to create a balanced load. If

washing a large item, two bath towels should be

added to even the load.

•Smaller loads can create an unbalanced condition

and cause premature wear on the washer. Do not

hesitate to fill the entire inner drum of the washer.

The load will compress a great deal when wet. This

allows room for proper tumbling.

Water Level

•The washer will automatically adjust the water

level to the type and size of the load during any fill.

Wash Temperature

Boosted Hot Water (on select models only)

The Boosted Hot Wash will boost the water

temperature in the tub to 140°F (60°C) and is

useful for improved cleaning of some loads. The red

HEATING light will light up when heating. The cycle

will not advance until 140°F (60°C) has been

reached.

The time needed to reach this temperature may

add an additional 30 to 60 minutes to the cycle

time. Hot water is the most effective for cleaning

but it is not recommended for all fabric types (read

labels).

NOTE: The Boosted Hot Wash can be turned off by

changing the cycle selector knob to OFF and

restarting a cycle with a different water

temperature setting.

Hot Water

The Hot Wash temperature is determined by the

actual temperature of the hot water supplied to

the washer. For models with Boosted Hot Wash,

the heater element will not be on. Hot water is the

most effective for cleaning, but it is not

recommended for all fabric types (read labels).

Warm Water

The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough

cleaning on lightly soiled clothing without damaging

fabric or adding to color fading.

The Warm Rinse (select models only) is useful in

preventing wrinkles on certain fabrics. Check labels

for fabric manufacturer’s recommendations.

Do not wash or dry items soiled with

vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils may

remain after washing and may cause the

fabric to catch on fire by itself.

WARNING

802753

Cold Water

The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although

its cleaning abilities are not as great with hot or

warm water, it is useful for colors that bleed easily

and for sensitive fabrics.

The Cold Rinse is optional in every cycle and is the

most beneficial for fabrics. Cold rinses reduce

wrinkling and color fading. In addition, cold rinses

will save money and energy.

NOTE: In wash temperatures colder than 60

(16

C), detergents do not dissolve well. This may

cause ineffective cleaning, or lint and residue to

form.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.

Wash Temperature Guide

Energy

You can save energy when washing by following a few

guidelines:

1. Heating water accounts for the greatest

energy expense when washing. Save on heating

water by using warm or cold washes as well as

cold rinses.

2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.

To Wash Clothes

IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer, make

sure the washer cord is plugged into an

appropriate electrical outlet that has the proper

grounding (earthing) and polarity. Refer to the

washer nameplate and Installation Instructions for

proper voltage and Hertz the washer is designed

to operate on. Refer to Contact Information

section for nameplate location. Make sure the

washer hoses are connected to the hot and cold

water faucets, and that the faucets are turned

on. Be sure the drain hose is not kinked and is

inserted into a drain. Refer to the INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS for details of proper washer

installation.

IMPORTANT: Prior to first wash, use an all

purpose cleaner, or a detergent and water

solution, and a damp cloth to remove shipping

dust from inside of wash drum.

1. Get the clothes ready for washing. Empty

pockets and cuffs. Sort items into separate

loads. Pretreat stains and heavily soiled areas.

IMPORTANT: Remove all sharp objects from

laundry to avoid tears and rips to items

during normal machine operation.

2. Measure and add low sudsing, high efficiency

(HE) detergent, fabric softener and bleach to

the dispenser drawer. Refer to section on

Using Your Dispenser Drawer. Follow

instructions on detergent package for

amount to use.

NOTE: High efficiency (HE)

detergents are designed

especially for frontload washers

to reduce oversudsing and

maximize cleaning results. Look

for the HE logo or “high efficiency” on the

detergent’s label.

IMPORTANT: If using non-HE detergent, avoid

oversudsing by using only 1/2 of the detergent

manufacturer's recommended amount.

3. Load clothes into wash drum. Refer to section

on Load Sizes.

NOTE: Small items such as baby socks may get

caught around the door. Place these articles

inside a mesh garment bag.
