WARNING

Safety Information

F8301401ENR4

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent

or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions

you do not understand.

Important Safety Instructions

1. Read all instructions before using the washer.

2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in

the INSTALLATION manual (supplied with your

washer) for the proper grounding of the washer.

3. Do not wash textiles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with

gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, dry-

cleaning solvents or other flammable or

explosive substances. 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

washer, 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 a washer.

Close supervision of children is necessary when

the washer is used near children.

7. Before the washer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to the washing

compartment.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum 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 the user understands and has the

skills to carry out.

12. To reduce the risk of an electrical shock or fire,

DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to

connect the washer to an electrical power source.

13. Use the washer only for its intended purpose,

washing clothes.

14. Never wash machine parts or automotive parts in

the machine. This could result in serious damage

to the basket.

15. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from its

electrical supply before attempting any service.

16. Install the washer according to the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All

connections for water, drain, electrical power and

grounding must comply with local codes and,

when required, be made by licensed personnel.

17. To reduce the risk of fire, textiles which have

traces of any flammable substances such as

vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil,

flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything

containing wax or chemicals such as in mops or

cleaning cloths, must not be put into the washer.

These flammable substances may cause the

fabric to ignite.

18. Do not use fabric softeners or products to

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

19. Keep the washer in good condition. Bumping or

dropping the washer can damage its safety

features. If this occurs, have the washer checked

by a qualified service person.

If you or an unqualified person perform

service on your product, you must

assume the responsibility for any

personal injury or property damage which

may result. The manufacturer will not be

responsible for any injury or property

damage arising from improper service

and/or service procedures.

Theory of Operation

Starting the Machine

The door lock will not allow a cycle to be started until

the door has been closed.

Fill

The operator selects a cycle and starts the machine.

Water enters the machine through water valves that are

controlled by the microcomputer. As water fills the

basket, a column of air is trapped in a pressure bulb

and hose. The air pressure continues to increase as the

basket fills with water. When the desired water level is

reached, the water level switch triggers the

microcomputer and the water valves turn off.

On designs 1 and 2, vacuum breaker installed in the

inlet plumbing or a shell overflow and air gap prevents

the backflow of water.

Supply

The operator can either connect external liquid

supplies to the machine or fill the supply dispenser

with liquid or dry supplies. The supply dispenser's

nozzles flush the compartments with water at the

appropriate times throughout a cycle.

Wash

The basket includes ribs that lift the laundry from the

wash water. The laundry then tumbles back into the

bath.

1 dual-speed motor drives the basket’s shaft with a V-

belt.

UW washer-extractors use two flange-type bearings

that are bolted to the frame.

Drain

UW washer-extractors use a normally open gravity-

type drain system. No pump is used. When the drain

valve opens, the perforated basket allows water to

drain from it.

In the event of a power failure, the drain valve will

open automatically and the machine will drain.

This model washer-extractor includes a single drain

valve.

Extract

A final high-speed extract step removes water from the

load, which maximizes drying efficiency.

The door lock system will not allow the door to be

opened until the cycle has finished.
