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 li-

censed 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 taps

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

release any accumulated hydrogen gas. THE GAS IS FLAMMA-

BLE, 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 ex-

tension cord or an adapter to connect the washer to the elec-

trical 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 (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,

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

supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance

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.

5 Part No. 204367R1

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

cable, is moving.

• 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.

• 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.

• Lid MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is to agitate or spin.

DO NOT bypass the lid switch to permit the washer to agitate

or spin with the lid open. A brake will stop the washtub within

seconds if the lid is opened during spinning. If the washtub does

not stop when the lid is opened, remove the washer from use

and call the service person.

• 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 aempt 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 aempting

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, remove

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. Observe and be aware of other labels and precau-

tions that are located on the machine. They are intended

to provide instruction for safe use of the machine. Com-

mon sense, caution and care must be exercised when in-

stalling, maintaining, or operating the washer.

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

facturer about any problems or conditions you do not understand.

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.

Strings on clothing such as hooded sweatshirts may get caught in

or around the agitator. Remove the strings if possible or tie them

together.

TLW1990N_SVG

Mend Rips and Tears

Lile 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.

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

coons/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 coons, 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.

7 Part No. 204367R1

• 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 wash-

ing results.

• Drop items loosely into the washtub. The bulk of the clothes

rather than the weight will determine load size. Do not pack

items in or wrap them around the agitator. Overloading can

cause poor cleaning, excessive wrinkling and tears.

TLW1992N_SVG

• Items should move freely through the wash water for best

cleaning results. Items should rollover, sink and then reappear.

• When washing very large items, do not ﬁll washtub as full as

with other loads.

Load Size (Water Level)

• The water level in your washer should ﬁt the size of your wash

load. Small loads will use lower water levels. There must be

enough water in the washtub to allow items to move and turn

over freely.

Wrong Water Level for Size of Load

TLW2223N_SVG

Right Water Level for Size of Load

TLW2224N_SVG

• Overloading the washtub can result in poor washing and rinsing.

• Overloading may also cause wrinkling and tearing of items as

well as increased wear to the washer’s motor.

IMPORTANT: If in doubt, always use a larger load size.

Failure to have the correct volume of water relative to

the load will increase the incidence of excessive lint.

Load Sizes

Small • 3-4 permanent press dress

shirts or

• 1 twin sheet, 1 pillow case

• 1-2 lightweight dresses

Medium • 6-7 permanent press

shirts or

• 2 twin sheets, 2 pillow ca-

ses or

• 8 standard bath towels, 6

wash cloths

Large • 8-9 shirts, 5 pair polyester

pants or

• 2 queen size sheets, 4 pil-

low cases, 2 nightgowns, 1

pair men’s pajamas or

• 1 queen size bedspread

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.

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 16°C [60°F],

detergents do not dissolve well. This may cause ineffec-

tive cleaning, or lint and residue to form.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.

Operating Your Washer

WARNING

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

or death to persons, read the Safety Information sec-

tion before operating your washer.

W522

Determine Proper Cycle

NOTE: The cycle used for a normally soiled cotton load

at the rated load capacity (8.5 kg) is as follows:

• Normal Cycle

• Warm wash water temperature seing

• Large Load Size

• Option set to High Eﬃciency

Normal Cycle

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

If the OPTIONS switch has been set to HIGH EFFICIENCY, the agi-

tation during the wash portion of the cycle is not constant. The

wash will alternate between a period of agitation and a period of

pausing. This continues until advancing to the spin portion of the

cycle.

Perm Press Cycle

Use for permanent press items and synthetics.

If the OPTIONS switch has been set to HIGH EFFICIENCY, during

the rinse portion of the cycle the tub won't ﬁll with water. Instead,

there is a spray rinse.

Delicate Cycle

Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on this cycle. A full tub

of water is recommended (even for small loads) to allow the deli-

cate items to move freely through the water. More water helps re-

duce fabric wear, wrinkling, and provides for a clean wash.

If the OPTIONS switch has been set to HIGH EFFICIENCY, during

the rinse portion of the cycle the tub won't ﬁll with water. Instead,

there is a spray rinse.

Rinse & Spin Cycle

Use to quickly rinse items.

Spin Only Cycle

Use to extract water from wet items.

Off

Use to stop a cycle or change cycles.

Options

Regular Use this seing if fabric soft-

ener is being used.

High Eﬃciency This seing includes an Eco-

Wash Soak during the agita-

tion portion of the NORMAL

cycle. The IN USE, RINSE and

SPIN status lights will ﬂash

one after the other during the

soak periods.

The PERM PRESS and DELI-

CATE cycles will use a spray

rinse instead of a full tub

rinse.
