IMPOFWANT SAFEI-Y INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using your

washer/dryer.

Do not machine wash or machine dry

items cleaned, washed, soaked in, or

spotted with wax, paint, gasoline, oil, dry

cleaning solvents, or other flammable

fluids. The fumes can create a fire

hazard or explosion. Always hand wash

and line dry items containing these

materials.

flammable fluids (dry-cleaning solvents,

kerosene, gasoline, etc.) should not be

used or stored in or near your washer/

water heater and your hot water pipes.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. To

prevent injury or damage, before using

your washer/dryer, turn on all hot water

faucets and allow water to run for

several minutes. This will allow gases to

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.

Starting your washer

1. Add measured detergent to the

washer. Then place a sorted load of

clothes in the washer.

Sort and load clothes as described on

pages 16 and 17.

If desired, you may also add color-safe

all-fabric bleach.

Close the washer lid.

Select a load size.

Turn the Load Size Selector to the setting

that corresponds with the size of the wash

load

and

the type of fabric being washed.

To change the load size setting, move

the Selector to RESET, and then to the

desired new setting.

See pages

and 17 for loading tips.

Select a wash-rinse temperature with

the Water Temperature Selector. Match

the water temperature with the type of

fabrk and soils being washed. See

page 18 for water temperature guidelines.

Four wash-rinse temperatures are

available: hot-cold, warm-warm,

warm-cold, and cold-cold.

Push in and turn the Cycle Control

Knob clockwise. Stop when the indica-

tor on the outer ring points to the

number in the wash cycle you want.

The numbers are minutes of wash time.

The cycles are described on pages 8-10.

Pull out Cycle Control Knob to start

washer.

(OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, add

llquld chlorine bleach AFTER washer

starts agitating. See page

11.

(OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, add

measured and diluted fabric softener

to the final rinse cycle. See

page 11.

Stopping/restarting your washer

If necessary, you can stop your washer

during a cycle to add more clothes.

To stop the washer at any time, push in

the Cycle Control Knob.

To restart the washer, close the lid (if

necessary) and pull out the Cycle

Control Knob.

Selecting a cycle and time

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.

The washer pauses briefly throughout

each cycle. These pauses are normal for

washer operation.

Refer to page 10 to help you understand

what happens during a wash cycle.

Regular cycle

The Regular cycle features the Gentle Wash

system and high spin speeds to shorten

drying time.

Use HEAVY, 12 minutes of wash time, to

clean sturdily-constructed cotton and linen

fabrii that are heavily soiled.

Use NORMAL, 8 minutes of wash time, to

clean cotton and linen fabrics that are

lightly to moderately soiled.

Permanent Press cycle

The Permanent Press cycle features the

Gentle Wash system, a cool-down rinse,

and low spin speeds to reduce wrinkling.

Use 10 minutes of wash time to clean

permanent press and some synthetic

fabrics that are moderately soiled.

Use 6 minutes of wash time to clean

permanent press and some synthetics that

are lightly soiled.

Delicates cycle

The Delicates cycle features a reduced

agitation speed for gentle soil removal. Low

spin speeds reduce wrinkling.

Use 8 minutes of wash time to clean

delicate items and washable knits that are

moderately soiled.

The washer pauses for 2 minutes during

the Delicates cycle.

Soak cycle

The Soak cycle features brief periods of

agitation and soak time to help remove

heavy soils and stains that need pretreat-

ment.

Use warm water when soaking laundry.

(Hot water can set stains.) See pages 20-

22 for stain removal information.

Use the amount of detergent or presoak

additive recommended by manufacturer.

After the 1P-minute Soak cycle ends, add

detergent and set a new wash cycle.

Pre Wash

Pre Wash features a brief period of high

speed agitation to help remove heavy soils

and stains that need pretreatment.

Use warm water for prewashing stained

laundry. (Hot water can set stains.) See

pages 20-22 for stain removal information.

After Pre Wash ends, add detergent and

set a new wash cycle.

Super Wash cycle

The Super Wash cycle automatically pre-

washes the laundry and advances into the

Regular wash cycle. (The washer does not

need to be reset after the Super Wash

cycle.) Use this 1Gminute cycle when

washing heavily soiled loads that need

maximum soil removal.

For proper cleaning, use double the

amount of detergent recommended for a

wash cycle.

NOTE:

The washer pauses between the

Super Wash cycle and the HEAVY part of

the Regular wash cycle. This is normal.

Using Rinse and Spin

When using extra detergent for heavily

soiled clothes, or washing special-care

items, you may want an extra rinse and spin.

Push in Cyck Control Knob and turn

clockwise to RINSE, as illustrated.

2. Pull out Cycle Control Knob. The washer

fills to selected load size, agitates, drains,

and spins.

Using Drain and Spin

A drain and spin may help shorten drying

times for some heavy fabrics or special-care

items by removing excess water.

Push in Cycle Control Knob and turn

clockwise to SPIN, as illustrated.

2. Pull out Cycle Control Knob. The washer

drains and then spins.

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 can occur

with the washer lid up or down. After agita-

tion starts, the Cycle Control Knob turns

clockwise until it points to OFF and the

cycle ends.

The washer pauses briefly throughout

each cycle. These

pauses are normal for

washer operation.

NOTE:

A Gentle Wash system helps protect

your fabrics by reducing wash agitation

speed during the last few minutes of wash

agitation in the Regular and Permanent

Press cycles.
