Important Safety Instructions

PREVENT FIRE

• Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in,

soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents,

kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. Do not store these items

on or near the washer. These substances give off vapors or

chemical reactions that could ignite or explode.

• Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the

washer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite

the materials.

• Do not add gasoline, 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 washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water

ﬂow from each for several minutes. This will release any ac-

cumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is ﬂammable; do not

smoke or use an open ﬂame during this time.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other ﬂammable vapors or

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in ﬁre,

explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber

or plastic parts of the washer.

• Do not continue to use the washer if you hear squeaking,

grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could be a

sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to ﬁre or serious

injury. Contact a qualiﬁed technician immediately.

PROTECT CHILDREN

• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the washer

is used near children. As children grow, teach them the

proper, safe use of all appliances.

• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materi-

als after the washer is unpacked. Children might use

them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or

plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.

• Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To prevent

personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.

• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,

remove the washer door to prevent accidental entrap-

ment.

• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in seri-

ous personal injuries.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this washer, comply with the basic warnings listed below.

Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

6Operating Instructions

Normal Operating Sounds

You may or may not hear the following sounds from your new

washer:

A. DRAIN HOSE The washer has a ﬂexible drain hose to carry

water from the washer to the stand pipe of your home. You

will hear water ﬂowing into your stand pipe. This is a normal

part of the operation of the washer.

B. WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters the

dispenser system, it is common to hear a water ﬂowing

sound. This normal sound will vary slightly based on the

water pressure in your home.

C. DOOR LOCK Your washer is equipped with a door lock

with an electric solenoid. There will be a clicking sound as

the washer door is being locked or unlocked.

D. DRAIN PUMP Your washer is equipped with a high velocity

drain pump. It is normal to hear humming and gurgling

sounds as water is pumped from the washer. Both of

these sounds are normal and indicate that your pump is

functioning correctly.

E. HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used to drive

the drum to high spin speeds to extract water from your

load. You will hear a sound associated with these higher spin

speeds. This sound is normal and will vary slightly as the

spin speed varies with load size and cycle selected.

CAUTION

Abnormal, on-going sounds may be an indication of a

pending washer failure and should be investigated by a

qualiﬁed technician.

Operating Instructions

Operating Your Washer

(Mesh bag not included.)

1 Sort laundry into loads that can

be washed together.

• Sort items by

recommended

cycle and water

temperature.

• Separate white, light and colorfast items from dark and

non-colorfast items.

• Separate items that shed lint from items that attract lint.

Casual, synthetic, knit, and corduroy items will pick up

lint from towels, rugs, and chenille bedspreads.

• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled items.

• Separate lacy, sheer, loosely knit, or delicate items from

durable items.

• Do not machine wash items containing ﬁberglass. Small

particles of ﬁberglass left in the drum may transfer to

fabrics in other loads and cause skin irritation.

2 Prepare items for washing.

• Empty pockets.

• Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach towels.

• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and

remove non-washable trims and ornaments.

• Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage during

washing.

• Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.

• Place delicate and small items such as bras, hosiery

and baby socks in a mesh bag.

• Combine large and small items in a load.

• Load large items ﬁrst. Large items should not be more

than half the total wash load.

3 Pretreat stains and heavy soil.

• See Stain Removal Guide in this guide for safe,

successful stain

removal instructions.

4 Add laundry load to washer.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock or injury to persons,

read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in this

Use and

Care Guide

before operating your washer.

• Washing single items such as a sweater, towel or jeans is

inefﬁcient and may cause an out-of-balance load. Add 1

or 2 similar items to help balance the load.

• The washer can be fully loaded, but the items should not

be tightly packed. The door should close easily.

IMPORTANT

Make sure that no items stay between the seal and the door.

There is a risk of water leakage or damage to the load.

8Operating Instructions

For best results

Use a low-sudsing, high efﬁciency detergent to

prevent oversudsing in front load washers. Look for

drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing of the

bleach or fabric softener.

(liquid) chamber. This is part of the normal operation of the

washer.

5 Add laundry products to the dispenser.
