WASHER SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the

washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

•Read all instructions before using the

washer.

•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.

•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.

•Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas

may be produced in a hot water system

that has not been used for 2 weeks or

more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.

If the hot water system has not been

used for such a period, before using the

washing machine, turn on all hot water

faucets and let the water flow from each

for several minutes. This will release any

accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is

flammable, do not smoke or use an open

flame during this time.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

•Do not allow children to play on or in the

washer. Close supervision of children is

necessary when the washer is used near

children.

•Before the washer is removed from service

or discarded, remove the lid.

•Do not reach into the washer if the basket

or agitator is moving.

•Do not install or store the washer where it

will be exposed to the weather.

•Do not tamper with controls.

•Do not repair or replace any part of the

washer or attempt any servicing unless

specifically recommended in this Use and

Care Guide or in published user-repair

instructions that you understand and have

the skills to carry out.

•See Installation Instructions for grounding

requirements.

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t

follow instructions.

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and

obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER” or

“WARNING.” These words mean:

wDANGER

wWARNING

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

USING YOUR WASHER

SELECTING A CYCLE AND TIME

This section illustrates and describes the wash

cycles you can select with the Cycle Selector knob.

Use this information to help you make the best cycle

selections for your wash loads. Each cycle is

designed for different types of fabrics and soil levels.

Normal Regular Cycle

This cycle features high agitation and longer spin

speeds to shorten drying time. Use this 10-minute

cycle for cleaning sturdily-constructed cotton and

linen fabrics.

Permanent Press Regular Cycle

This cycle features high agitations, a cool-down

rinse and low spin speeds to reduce wrinkling. Use

this 10-minute cycle to clean permanent press and

some synthetic fabrics that are moderately soiled.

Delicates Cycle

This cycle features a reduced agitation speed for

gentle soil removal, and low spin speeds to reduce

wrinkling. Use this 8-minute cycle to clean delicate

items and washable knits that are lightly to

moderately soiled.

PERMANENT

PRESS

Soak Cycle

The Soak cycle features brief periods of agitation and

soak time. Use this 30-minute cycle to remove heavy

soils and stains that need pretreatment. Use warm

water when soaking laundry. (Hot water can set stains.)

Use the amount of detergent or presoak additive

recommended by manufacturer.

•When soaking with color safe bleach, you may

extend the soak cycle for up to 2 hours by lifting the

lid.

•When using liquid chlorine bleach, never extend the

soak cycle. Prolonged soaking with liquid chlorine

bleach may damage clothes.

•When soaking with detergent alone, soak for at least

5 minutes.

•When the Soak cycle ends, add detergent and set a

new wash cycle.

NOTE: During the agitation and soak time, the wash

Cycle Status light will be on.

•Refer to page 12 to help you understand what

happens during a wash cycle.

NOTE: During Spin, the washer will cycle On and Off.

This is normal.

DRAIN AND SPIN

The Drain and Spin cycle helps shorten drying times

for some heavy fabrics or special-care items by

removing excess water.

1. For a drain and spin, turn the Cycle Selector knob

to the Drain and Spin setting.

2. Push the Start/Pause button. The washer drains,

then spins.

USING THE LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER DISPENSER

1. Add detergent and load clothes into the basket.

2. Pour liquid fabric softener into the dispenser using

the amount recommended on the package. Avoid

dripping or spilling any fabric softener on the load.

3. Dilute fabric softener with warm water.

Fill dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches

the cross bar in the opening.

4. Start the washer. Diluted fabric softener will be

added to the load during the rinse cycle.

NOTE: Do not stop the washer before the rinse part

of the cycle begins. Staining can occur.

Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser

Flush dispenser periodically with warm water, as

illustrated.

•To remove the dispenser, grasp the top of the

dispenser with both hands. Squeeze and push

upward with thumbs to remove.

•Clean dispenser by holding under water faucet.

Replace after cleaning.

NOTE: Do not wash clothes with this dispenser

removed. Do not add detergent or bleach to

dispenser. The dispenser is for liquid fabric

softener use only.

USING THE LIQUID CHLORINE BLEACH DISPENSER

Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do not

guess. Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a

full load. Use less with lower Water Level settings.

Follow manufacturer’s directions for safe use. Use a

cup with a pouring spout to avoid spilling.

1. Load the washer.

2. Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach carefully

into the dispenser. Do not let bleach splash,

drip, or run down into washer basket. Undiluted

bleach will damage any fabric it touches.

3. Start the washer. Bleach will be diluted and

dispensed automatically during wash part of

cycle.

NOTE: Do not use this dispenser to add powdered

chlorine or color safe bleach to your wash load. The

dispenser is for liquid chlorine bleach use only.
