NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care

labels.

Determine Proper Cycle

Regular Cycle

Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes,

towels, T-shirts, etc. The wash time selection will

depend on the type of fabric and the amount of soil.

For the best results 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 — Extra Clean, Normal and Light. The

number shown next to the settings is the length of

tumbling in minutes. (For example: Setting the

timer on Extra Clean will be a 15 minute tumble,

including pauses.)

Permanent Press Cycle

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 tumbling in minutes. (For example:

Setting the timer on Normal will be a nine minute

tumble, including pauses.)

Delicate Cycle

Wash delicate items usually washed before by hand

on this cycle. There are two settings in the

DELICATE cycle — Normal and Light. The

number shown next to these settings is the length of

tumbling in minutes. (For example: Setting the

timer on Normal will be a seven minute tumble,

including pauses.)

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,

serious injury or death to persons, read

the IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS in the Use and Care

Guide before operating your washer.

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.

IMPORTANT: Remove all sharp objects from

laundry to avoid tears and rips to items during

normal machine operation.

1. Get the clothes ready for

washing. Empty pockets

and cuffs. Sort items into

separate loads. Pretreat

stains and heavily soiled

areas.

IMPORTANT: If using detergents made for

topload washers, avoid oversudsing by using

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

recommended amount).

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.

Refer to the chart on the following page for the

temperature that works best for your garments.

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.

2. Measure and add low

sudsing detergent,

fabric softener, and

bleach to the

dispenser drawer.

Refer to section on

Using Your

Dispenser Drawer.

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.

6. Select the cycle according to the type of fabric

being washed. Push the timer knob in and turn

clockwise to the desired cycle and wash time.

Use the indicator dot on the knob as a guide.

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 the steps

discussed in the Before Washing section of your

Use and Care Guide.

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.
