wash selection will depend upon the type of fabric

and amount of soil. There are two settings in the

PERMANENT PRESS cycle – NORMAL and

LIGHT.

this cycle. There are two settings in the DELICATE

cycle – NORMAL and LIGHT.

To Wash Clothes

IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer,

make sure the washer cord is plugged into a

120 Volt electrical outlet that has the proper

grounding and polarity. 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 washtub.

1. Get the clothes ready for washing. Empty pockets

and cuffs. Sort items into separate loads. Pretreat

stains and heavily soiled areas.

topload washers, avoid oversudsing by using only

1/4 cup regular detergent (1/2 of the recommended

amount).

3. Load clothes into wash drum. Refer to section on

Load Sizes in your Use and Care Guide.

4. Close the loading door tightly. The washer will

not operate with the loading door open.

5. Set WASH/RINSE temperatures.

There are four WASH/RINSE temperatures available –

Hot Wash/Cold Rinse, Warm Wash/Cold Rinse, Warm

Wash/Warm Rinse, and Cold Wash/Cold Rinse.

7. Pull the timer knob out to start the washer. The

DOOR LOCKED light will come on after a short

delay, water fill will begin, and wash drum will

begin tumbling.

NOTE: Washer door MUST be closed tightly to

start washer.

If items need to be added or removed after a cycle

has started, push the timer knob in, wait approximately

45 seconds for DOOR LOCKED light to go out, open

door, add or remove items, adjust the timer knob (if

desired) and pull timer knob out.

There is no agitator on this washer. Instead, the

clothing gently tumbles through the water. The wash

action consists of a period of tumbling in one

direction, a brief pause, and then a reverse tumble in

the opposite direction. The pauses are part of the

tumble action and add to the uniqueness of the washer.

Do not attempt to turn the timer through these pauses.

They are part of the cycle.

Timer

Although the washer cycles are automatic, the timer

may be reset to lengthen, shorten or repeat a portion of

a cycle.

To set or reset the timer, push timer knob in to stop the

washer. Hold timer knob in firmly while slowly

turning it clockwise to the setting desired. Pull timer

knob out to start the washer.

DOOR LOCKED Light

When the washer is started, the DOOR LOCKED light

will come on after a short delay. The light will turn off

10 to 30 seconds after the cycle is complete.

Out of Balance Load

If at the end of the cycle, the load is dripping wet, the

washer has limited the spin speed. This is to prevent

damage to the unit if there is a severely unbalanced

load.

If this condition occurs, redistribute the load manually

and repeat the cycle beginning at the last rinse.

If the condition persists, consider steps discussed in

the Before Washing section of the Use and Care

Guide.

Using Your Dispenser Drawer

Detergent Compartment

The detergent compartment is located on the right side

of the dispenser drawer. Refer to compartment 1 of

illustration.

Use low sudsing powdered or liquid detergents that are

recommended for use with high efficiency or front

loading washers. Powdered bleach can also be used in

the dispenser along with the detergent.

NOTE: If using detergents made for topload

washers, avoid oversudsing by using 1/2 of the

recommended amount.

When adding detergent, use only the recommended

amount. Adding too much detergent or using regular

sudsing detergent could result in an oversudsing

condition, which would require additional rinsing with

cold water. Use care when adding detergent so as not

to spill into the other compartments. Detergent mixed

with fabric softener can make the softener gummy.

NOTE: The normal level of suds should be below

center of the door.

Liquid Bleach Compartment

The bleach compartment is located in the left front

corner of the dispenser drawer. Refer to compartment 2

of illustration. It has been designed to prevent the

dispensing of undiluted bleach onto the clothes load.

Use liquid bleach in the dispenser. Powdered bleach

must not be used in this compartment. Powdered

bleach can be used in the detergent compartment

only and can be added along with the detergent.

DO NOT use more than the maximum level

indicated for the bleach compartment. Adding more

than the maximum amount could result in early

dispensing of the product and possible damage to

fabrics.

Carefully pour recommended amount of bleach into

the compartment before starting wash load.

Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach. It is a strong

chemical and can damage some fabrics if it is not

properly diluted. Follow bleach manufacturer’s label

for proper use.

Carefully close dispenser door. Do not allow bleach to

spill into other compartments.

Fabric Softener Compartment

The fabric softener compartment is located in the

left rear corner of the dispenser drawer. Refer to

compartment 3 of illustration.

Use no more than the maximum level indicated for the

fabric softener compartment. Adding more than the

maximum amount could result in early dispensing of

the product and possible staining of fabrics.

Add fabric softener to compartment before beginning

washload. The fabric softener will be dispensed during

the last rinse cycle.

Carefully close dispenser door. Do not allow softener

to spill into other compartments.

To Clean the Dispenser

Remove the dispenser drawer from the washer by

firmly pulling the drawer straight out, past the stop

position. Rinse dispenser drawer in hot water. A small

brush may be used to thoroughly clean out any

residue. After cleaning, reinstall the dispenser drawer.

From time to time, water may be discovered in the

dispenser drawer. This condition is normal. To remove

the water, simply remove the dispenser drawer and

pour out the water.

Available Water Temperatures

The Hot Wash temperature is determined by the actual

temperature of the hot water supplied to the washer.

Hot water is the most effective for cleaning, but it is

not recommended for all fabric types (read labels).

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 is useful in preventing wrinkles on

certain fabrics. Check labels for fabric manufacturer’s

recommendations.

The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although its

cleaning abilities are not as great as 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: The Energy Saver settings, marked with an

asterisk (*), show which temperature settings will

use the least energy.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.
