Operating Your Washer

To obtain the best washing results, you must operate your washer properly. This section

gives you this important information. Page references are included for more information.

Explosion Hazard

Never place items in the washer that

are dampened with gasoline or other

flammable fluids.

Do not wash or dry items soiled with

vegetable or cooking oils because

they may contain some oil after

laundering.

Doing so can result in death,

explosion, or fire.

Starting your washer

1. Add measured detergent to the

washer. Then place a sorted load of

clothes in the washer.

l Sort and load clothes as described on

pages 12 and 13.

l If desired, you may also add color safe

bleach to the wash load.

2. Close the washer lid.

3. Turn the WATER LEVEL Selector to

the setting that corresponds with the

size of your wash load and the type

of fabric being washed.

l Your washer has 2 water level selec-

tions: Small and Large.

l To change the load size setting after

the washer has started to fill, turn the

Selector to the desired new setting.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death, fire, or electrical

shock.

4. Push in the Cycle Control Knob and

turn it clockwise to the wash cycle

you want. See pages 7 and 8.

5. Pull out Cycle Control Knob to start

washer.

6. (OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, add mea-

sured liquid chlorine bleach after the

washer starts agitating. See page 10.

7. (OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, add mea-

sured and diluted liquid fabric softener

to the final rinse cycle. See page 10.

Stopping/restarting your washer

l To stop the washer at any time, push in

the Cycle Control Knob.

l To restart the washer, close the lid (if

necessary) and pull out the Cycle Control

Knob.

Selecting a cycle and time

Your washer’s Cycle Control Knob is shown

below. Use the information in this section to

help you make the best cycle selections for

your wash loads. Each cycle is designed for

different types of fabrics and soil levels.

l The washer pauses briefly throughout

each cycle. These pauses are normal

for washer operation.

l Refer to page 9 to learn more about the

sounds you may hear during a wash cycle.

l Also, refer to page 9 to help you under-

stand what happens during a wash cycle.

Normal cycle

The Normal cycle features high agitation

speeds for maximum cleaning, and high spin

speeds to shorten drying time. Use this

cycle for cleaning cotton and linen fabrics.

l Select HEAVY, 14 minutes of wash time

with warm water, to clean heavily soiled

loads.

l Select REGULAR, 10 minutes of wash

time with warm water, to clean moderately

soiled loads.

l Select COLD, 6 minutes of wash time,

to clean lightly soiled loads.

Short/Knits cycle

The Short/Knits cycle features a brief soak

and reduced agitation speed for gentle soil

removal. Low spin speeds reduce wrinkling.

Use this cycle for cleaning delicate items

and washable knits that are lightly, moder-

ately, or heavily soiled. A cold wash will

provide 4 minutes of wash time. A warm

wash will provide 6 to 8 minutes of

wash time.

Permanent Press cycle

The Permanent Press cycle features a

cool-down rinse and low spin speeds to

reduce wrinkling. Use this cycle for cleaning

permanent press and some synthetic fabrics

that are lightly, moderately, or heavily soiled.

A cold wash will provide 4 minutes of wash

time. A warm wash will provide 8 to 10

minutes of wash time.

Rinse and spin cycle

When using extra detergent for heavily

soiled clothes, or washing special-care

items, you may want an extra rinse and

spin. Push the Cycle Control Knob in and

turn clockwise to RINSE. Pull the Cycle

Control Knob out. The washer will fill to the

selected water level, agitate, drain, and spin.

Drain and spin cycle

A drain and spin may help shorten drying

times for some heavy fabrics or special-care

items by removing excess water. Push the

Cycle Control Knob in and turn clockwise

to SPIN. Pull the Cycle Control Knob out.

The washer will drain and spin.

Cycle options

You may select different wash time and

water temperature combinations by first

selecting the water temperature (Warm

or Cold) and then turning to the new wash

time. For example, for 14 minutes of wash

time in the Normal cycle with cold water:

1. Push in the Cycle Control Knob and

turn it clockwise to the COLD setting.

2. Pull out the Cycle Control Knob and

allow your washer to fill.

3. When your washer has filled, push in

and turn the Cycle Control Knob to

HEAVY, 14 minutes of wash time.

4. Pull out the Cycle Control Knob.

Understanding normal washer sounds

Your new washer may make sounds that

your old one didn’t. Because the sounds are

unfamiliar, you may be concerned about

them. Don’t be; most of them are normal.

During drain

The following describes some of the sounds

you may hear and what causes them.

The rate that water is drained from your

washer depends on your installation. If

water is drained quickly from the washer,

you may hear air being pulled through the

pump. This happens during the end of

draining.

During washing

When you select a small load size setting for

a small wash load, your washer has a lower

water level. With this lower water level, you

may hear a clicking sound from the upper

portion of the agitator.

After drain and before spin

When the cycle changes from draining to

spinning, you may hear gears engaging.

Understanding what happens in each cycle

When the cycle control knob is set to a

number and pulled out, the washer fills (to

the selected load size) before agitation and

timing start. The washer begins agitating

immediately after filling; agitation occurs

with the washer lid up or down.

During agitation, the agitator creates a

continuous rollover action that provides a

thorough cleaning of the wash load.

WASH

Fill

After agitation starts, the cycle control knob

turns clockwise until it points to an Off area

and the cycle ends.

The washer pauses briefly throughout

each cycle. These pauses are normal for

washer operation.

Manual clean lint filter

Your washer has a manual clean lint filter.

Clean the filter at the bottom of the agitator

after every load for the best filtering results.

To clean:

1. Lift off the agitator barrel.

2. Wash or wipe the filter clean in the

bottom of the agitator barrel. The filter

is not removable.

3. Replace the agitator barrel and snap

it into place. Agitator barrel Manual clean

lint filter

Adding liquid chlorine bleach

Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do

not guess. Never use more than 250 mL

(1 cup) for a full load. Follow manufacturer’s

directions for safe use. Use a cup with a

pouring spout to avoid spilling.

1. Let the washer fill and begin agitating

the load.

NOTE: Undiluted bleach will damage any

fabric it touches. The damage appears as

rips, holes, tears, or color loss and may not

show up until several washings later.

2. Add bleach to wash cycle so it can be

removed in the rinse cycle. Pour bleach

around agitator, not directly on load.

l Follow directions on care labels. Do not

use chlorine bleach on wool, silk,

spandex, acetates, or some flame-

retardant fabrics.

l When soaking with chlorine bleach, add

detergent to soak water.

Adding liquid fabric softener

l Always dilute fabric softener with 125 to

250 mL (l/2 to 1 cup) warm water. Undi-

luted fabric softener can stain fabrics.

l Add diluted fabric softener only in the

final rinse.

l Fabric softener should not be mixed with

other laundry products because greasy

stains may form. If stains form, remove

by wetting the stain and rubbing with liquid

detergent or a bar of soap. Rewash the

stained item.

l Too much fabric softener can make some

items (diapers and towels) nonabsorbent.

If this happens, use less fabric softener

or do not use it every time.
