Important Safety Instructions

Save These Instructions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious in-

jury 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

INSTALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connec-

tion of the washer. All connections for water, drain, electri-

cal 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: gaso-

line, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine

oils, dry-cleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners

or other flammable or explosive substances. These sub-

stances give off vapors 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 machine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all

hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for sev-

eral minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen

gas. THE GAS IS FLAMMABLE, 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 su-

pervision of children is necessary when the washer is used

near children. This appliance is not intended for use by per-

sons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,

unless they have been given supervision or instruction con-

cerning 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 chil-

dren without supervision.

Safety Information

DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT

7 Part No. 806970EN

• Children less than three years should be kept away unless

continuously supervised.

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

applicable, 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.

• DO NOT operate individual units if they have been separa-

ted from a stack unit.

• Use your washer only for its intended purpose, washing

clothes. Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied

by the garment manufacturer.

• Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on

packages of laundry and cleaning aids. 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).

Heed all warnings or precautions.

• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static

unless 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 permitting 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-

maintenance instructions or in published user-repair in-

structions that you understand and have the skills to carry

out. ALWAYS disconnect 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 manufacturer, 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 ac-

cording 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

occur. Observe and be aware of other labels and pre-

cautions that are located on the machine. They are in-

tended to provide instruction for safe use of the ma-

chine. Common sense, caution and care must be exer-

cised when installing, maintaining, or operating the

washer.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the

manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not un-

derstand.

Operation

Before Washing

Prepare Wash Load

Empty Pockets and Cuffs

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

One bobby 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 pocket will produce extreme “lint”. A crayon or

lipstick in a wash load may cause stains that cannot be re-

moved. Roll down cuffs and shake out grass, sand and gravel.

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 wa-

ter.

Sort Items

Different items use different wash cycles and temperatures.

Always follow the manufacturer’s care label. 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

attract lint and should not be washed with lint-shedding

loads. Lint shedders are cottons, terry towels, chenille bed-

spreads, 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.

Bulky Items

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

comforters. The cycle includes gentle agitation to clean

items delicately and thoroughly. The Second Rinse Option

may be selected to ensure complete removal of soap resi-

due. A final spin extracts the moisture at a lower speed to

maintain the load’s balance and minimize wear to the arti-

cles.

Load Sizes

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

together 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 tum-

bling.

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

abilities are not as great as with hot or warm water, it is useful

for colors 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 inef-

fective cleaning, or lint and residue to form.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.

Table 1

Energy

You can save energy when washing by following a few guide-

lines:

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.
