IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)

1. Read all instructions before using the washer.

2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in

the INSTALLATION manual for the proper

grounding of the washer.

3. Do not wash articles 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.

4. 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.

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.

7. Before the washer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the lid to the washing

compartment.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or

agitator 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 service.Disconnect

the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

15. Install the washer according to the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All

connections for water, drain, electrical power and

grounding must comply with local codes and be

made by licensed personnel when required.

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, 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. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced

by a special cord or assembly available from the

manufacturer or its service agent.

20. 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.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,

serious injury or death to persons when using

your washer, follow these basic precautions:

aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce

the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep them

out of the reach of children at all times (preferably

in a locked cabinet).

23. Always follow the fabric care instructions

supplied by the garment manufacturer.

24. Never operate the washer with any guards

and/or panels removed.

25. DO NOT operate the washer with missing or

broken parts.

26. DO NOT by-pass any safety devices.

27. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this

machine according to the manufacturer's

instructions may result in conditions which can

produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

IMPORTANT: Have your washer installed properly.

Don’t do it yourself unless you know how.

NOTE: The WARNING AND IMPORTANT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this manual

are not meant to cover all possible conditions and

situations that may occur. Common sense, caution

and care must be exercised when installing,

maintaining, or operating the washer.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or

1. Get clothes ready for washing. Empty pockets and

cuffs. Sort items into separate loads. Pretreat stains

and heavily soiled areas.

2. Measure and add detergent to the washtub.

3. Add clothes loosely into the washtub. The bulk of the

clothes rather than the weight will determine load

size.

4. Close the loading door. The washer will not agitate or

spin with the loading door open.

5. Set WASH/RINSE temperatures.

NOTE: The washer will provide a cold rinse in all

TEMPERATURE settings. Cold rinses will save you

money and energy and will help reduce wrinkling in

permanent press and synthetics.

The Energy Saver settings, marked with a dot (•),

show which temperature settings will use the least

energy.

6. Set LOAD SIZE WATER LEVEL control. Use

RESET if agitation has started and more water is

when cleaning heavily soiled items, use a longer wash

time (15 minutes maximum). Lightly soiled items require

less wash time.

There are three settings in the REGULAR cycle –

Normal, Medium and Light. The number shown next to

these settings is the length of agitation in minutes. (For

example: Setting the timer on Normal will be a 15 mintue

agitation.

Permanent Press

Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The wash

time selection will depend upon the type of fabric and

amount of soil.

There are two settings in the PERMANENT PRESS

cycle –Normal and Light. The number shown next to

these settings is the length of agitation in minutes. (For

example: Setting the timer on Normal will be a nine

minute agitation.)

Soaking

Selections . . .

Water Temperatures

HOT Wash

Hot water will give the best results of cleaning and

sanitizing, but it is not suitable for all items. It is best for

sturdy whites and colorfast items, heavily soiled items

and diapers.

WARM Wash

By using warm water, there is less chance of color loss in

items. Warm water also reduces wrinkling in permanent

press items. Use with light and moderate soils, non-

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

nylons, and acrylic.

COLD Wash

Cold water is less effective in cleaning than hot or warm

water, but it does minimize wrinkling and color fading.

Use it for washing extra-sensitive clothes

Rinse Temperature

Your washer provides a cold rinse. You’ll save money and

energy with the cold rinse. Cold rinses also help reduce

wrinkling in permanent press and other synthetics.

Load Sizes . . .

Load sizes are determined by the bulk of the clothes, not

the weight. When sorting items into separate loads

remember, clothes must be able to circulate freely to get

clean. Do not overload the washtub. Overloading can

produce unsatisfactory results. The sample loads shown

in the chart are guides. Your load sizes may vary.

Small (Sample Loads)

3-4 perm. press dress shirts

1 twin sheet, 1 pillow case

1-2 lightweight dresses

Medium (Sample Loads)

6-7 perm. press dress shirts

2 twin sheets, 2 pillow cases

8 standard bath towels, 6 bath cloths

Large (Sample Loads)

10-11 perm. press dress shirts

2 full size sheets, 2 pillow cases

2 pair men’s pajamas

12 standard bath towels, 4 hand towels,

4 wash cloths

Ex. Large (Sample Loads)

8-9 shirts and 5 pr. polyester pants

2 queen size sheets, 4 pillow cases

2 night gowns, 1 pair men’s pajamas

1 queen size bedspread

Features . . .

Bleach Dispenser

The bleach dispenser is located in the left front corner,

under the loading door.

Use liquid bleach in the dispenser. Powdered bleach must

not be used in the bleach dispenser. Add powdered bleach

to the wash water.

Use no more than one cup

chlorine bleach for large loads, three-quarters cup for

medium and one-half cup for small loads.

Carefully pour recommended amount of bleach into the

dispenser during the first fill of the washer.

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

chemical and can damage some fabrics if it is not

properly diluted.

Fabric Softener Dispenser

To Use Dispenser

After the clothes are loaded into the washtub and before

the start of the WASH CYCLE, pour the proper amount

of liquid fabric softener into the bottle measuring cap (see

bottle directions). Pour into dispenser.

The large fabric softener dispenser allows for the fabric

softener to be diluted with water. We recommend adding

water up to the fill level. Do not exceed tip of arrow

which indicates correct fill level. Overfilling can allow

fabric softener to spill onto the clothes.

Setting the water level to medium or higher will result in

better performance from the fabric softener.

The fabric softener will remain in the dispenser during

the wash fill, agitation and spin. At the end of the wash

spin, the liquid fabric softener will be dispensed into the

washtub through the slots in the agitator and will be

mixed with the incoming rinse water.

To Clean the Dispenser

Remove the dispenser housing from agitator by

squeezing the lower part of the dispenser, pulling directly

upward and at the same time tilting slightly. This will

expose the dispenser cup, which is also removable for

cleaning (refer to illustration). Both housing and cup can

be soaked in hot soapy water and rinsed clean. The funnel

shape in top of agitator also needs to be cleaned. The hole

and the slots in the two rings will require using a small

brush for proper cleaning.

After cleaning, install dispenser cup, then push dispenser

housing directly downward onto top of agitator until

firmly snapped together.

Use Tips

•Fabric softener spilled onto garments may cause

staining. To remove, soak in a soapy solution made

from Sard Wonder Soap or rub the stain with a bar of

Sard, then wash.

•Liquid fabric softeners will be dispensed during the

final rinse and should not be combined with bleach,

bluing, starch, detergents, soaps or packaged water

conditioners during this rinse.

•Fabric softener is not to be used in dispenser when

using Soak/Prewash cycle.

•When adding detergent to wash water, do not allow

any to enter into softener dispenser cup, as softener

will become gummy.

To prevent softener buildup, the dispenser can be filled or

over-filled with clean water for automatic cleaning. This

can be done in washing cycles other than when softener

is used.
