Important Safety Instructions

Save These Instructions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury

or death to persons when using your washer, follow

these basic precautions:

W023

• Read all instructions before using the washer.

• Install the washer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUC-

TIONS. Refer to the EARTH/GROUND INSTRUCTIONS in the IN-

STALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connection of

the washer. All connections for water, drain, electrical power

and earth/ground must comply with local codes and be made by

licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself.

• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to

water and/or weather.

• Do not add the following substances or textiles containing

traces of the following substances to the wash water: gasoline,

kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils, dry-

cleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners or other flam-

mable or explosive substances. These substances give off va-

pors that could ignite, explode or cause the fabric to catch on

fire by itself.

• 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 ma-

chine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water fau-

cets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This

will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. THE GAS IS FLAM-

MABLE, DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN OPEN FLAME DURING

THIS TIME.

• 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.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervi-

sion of children is necessary when the washer is used near chil-

dren. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (includ-

ing children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabili-

ties, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been

given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appli-

ance by a person responsible for their safety. This is a safety

rule for all appliances.

• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children

without supervision.

• Children less than three years should be kept away unless con-

tinuously supervised.

• Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or agitator, if ap-

plicable, is moving.

Safety Information

Part No. 805004R3 ©Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC - DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT 5

• Never operate the washer with any guards, panels and/or parts

removed or broken. DO NOT tamper with the controls or bypass

any safety devices.

• DO NOT operate individual units if they have been separated

from a stack unit.

• Use your washer only for its intended purpose, washing clothes.

Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the gar-

ment manufacturer.

• Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on pack-

ages of laundry and cleaning aids. To reduce the risk of poison-

ing or chemical burns, keep them out of the reach of children at

all times (preferably in a locked cabinet). Heed all warnings or

precautions.

• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static un-

less recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener

or product.

• Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is to fill,

tumble or spin. DO NOT bypass the loading door switch by per-

mitting the washer to operate with the loading door open.

• Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve and that fill

hose connections are tight. CLOSE the shut-off valves at the

end of each wash day.

• 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.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or attempt any

servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-mainte-

nance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that

you understand and have the skills to carry out. ALWAYS dis-

connect the washer from electrical supply before attempting

any service.

• Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord. If

the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu-

facturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order

to avoid a hazard.

• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, re-

move the lid or door to the washing compartment.

• Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this washer accord-

ing to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions

which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT SAFETY IN-

STRUCTIONS appearing in this manual are not meant to

cover all possible conditions and situations that may oc-

cur. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised

when installing, maintaining, or operating the washer.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the man-

ufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not under-

stand.

Operation

Before Washing

Prepare Wash Load

Empty Pockets and Cuffs

Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside out. One bob-

by 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 pock-

et 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.

TLW1990N_SVG

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.

Sort Items

Different items use different wash cycles and temperatures. Al-

ways follow the manufacturer’s care label.

TLW1991N_SVG

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 at-

tract 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.

WARNING

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.

W527

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.

Operation

Part No. 805004R3 ©Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC - DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT 7

Bulky Items

• Use the BULKY cycle for bulky items such as blankets and com-

forters. The cycle includes gentle agitation to clean items deli-

cately and thoroughly. The Second Rinse Option may be selec-

ted to ensure complete removal of soap residue. A final spin ex-

tracts the moisture at a lower speed to maintain the load’s bal-

ance and minimize wear to the articles.

Load Sizes

• Load sizes vary. Small and large items should be washed to-

gether 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

Hot

Hot water is the most effective for cleaning, but it is not recom-

mended for all fabric types (read labels).

Warm

The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough cleaning on light

and moderately soiled clothing without damaging fabric or adding

to color fading. Warm water also reduces wrinkling. Use with non-

colorfast or dark colors, permanent press, silks, woolens, nylon, and

acrylic.

Cool

The Cool Wash temperature is useful for washing permanent press

fabrics.

Cold

The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although its cleaning abili-

ties are not as great as with hot or warm water, it is useful for col-

ors that bleed easily and for sensitive fabrics.

All rinses use cold water. It 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°F (16°C),

detergents do not dissolve well. This may cause ineffec-

tive cleaning, or lint and residue to form.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.

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.

2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.

3. Use Soak option for heavily soiled items to reduce the need for

higher soil level selections.
