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 sol-

vents, 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 tub 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.

7. Pull out the Cycle Control knob to start the

washer.

USING YOUR WASHER

Delicates cycle

The Delicates cycle features low-speed agitation for

gentle soil removal from delicate items and wash-

able knits. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling.

Select this 6-minute cycle to clean lightly to moder-

ately soiled loads.

Soak cycle

The Soak cycle features brief periods of agitation

and soak time 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 the manufacturer.

• After the Soak cycle ends, add detergent and set

a new wash cycle.

Normal cycle

The Normal cycle features high-speed agitation

followed by a brief period of low-speed agitation for

cleaning cottons and linens. High spin speeds

shorten drying time. Select 10 (Regular) or 14

(Heavy) minutes of wash time, depending on

whether your load is moderately or heavily soiled.

Super Wash – Select this 18-minute wash for

heavily soiled loads that need maximum soil

removal. Use two times the recommended amount

of detergent for this cycle.

Permanent Press cycle

The Permanent Press cycle starts with high-speed

agitation then steps down to low-speed agitation for

cleaning permanent press blends and synthetic

fabrics. To minimize wrinkling, this cycle features a

cool-down rinse and a low-speed final spin. Select

6 or 10 minutes of wash time, depending on

whether your load is lightly or moderately soiled.

SELECTING A CYCLE AND TIME

This section describes the available wash cycles

and will help you make the best cycle selections

for your wash loads. Each cycle is designed for

different types of fabric and soil levels.

•The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle.

These pauses are normal. Refer to “Understanding

normal washer sounds” to learn more about the

sounds you may hear during a wash cycle.

•Refer to “Understanding what happens in each

cycle” later in this section to learn what happens

during a wash cycle.

USING YOUR WASHER

ADDING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER

•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.

•Always dilute fabric softener with 1⁄2to 1 cup (125

to 250 mL) warm water. Undiluted fabric

softener can stain fabrics.

•Add diluted fabric softener only in the final rinse.

•Fabric softener should not be mixed with other

laundry products because greasy stains may

form. If stains form, remove them by wetting the

stain and rubbing with liquid detergent or a bar

of soap. Rewash the stained item.

ADDING LIQUID CHLORINE BLEACH

Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do not

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

2. Add bleach to the wash cycle so it can be

removed in the rinse cycle. Pour bleach around

the agitator, not directly on the load.

•Follow directions on care labels. Do not use

chlorine bleach on wool, silk, spandex, acetates,

or some flame-retardant fabrics.

•When soaking with chlorine bleach, add detergent

to soak water.

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.

RINSE/DRAIN AND SPIN

Rinse and Spin feature

When using extra detergent for heavily soiled

clothes, or washing special-care items, you may

find an extra rinse and spin is needed.

•For an additional rinse and spin, push in the

Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to any

of the Rinse settings. The washer fills to the

selected load size, agitates, drains, and spins.

Drain and Spin feature

A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for

some heavy fabrics or special-care items by

removing excess water.

•For a drain and spin, push in the Cycle Control

knob and turn it clockwise to any of the Spin

settings. Then pull out the Cycle Control knob.

The washer drains, then spins.

USING YOUR WASHER

UNDERSTANDING NORMAL WASHER SOUNDS

During drain

If water is drained quickly from your washer

(depending on your installation), you may hear air

being pulled through the pump during the end of

draining.

After drain and before spin

When the cycle changes from draining to spinning,

you may hear gears engaging.

Your new washer may make sounds your old one

didn’t. Because the sounds may be unfamiliar, you

may be concerned about them. Don’t be; most of

them are normal.

The following describes some of the sounds you

may hear and what causes them.

Your washer has a self-cleaning lint filter at the bot-

tom of the basket. Wash and rinse water flow over

the filter during agitation, separating the lint from

the water. The lint spins out of the system during

the spin part of the cycle.

If your washer drains into a tub, remove any lint

collected in the tub or strainer.

SELF-CLEANING LINT FILTER

USING YOUR WASHER

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 water

level) before agitation and timing start. The washer

begins agitating immediately after filling; agitation

occurs with the washer lid up or down.

After agitation starts, the Cycle Control knob turns

clockwise until it points to an Off area and the

cycle ends.

NOTE: The washer pauses briefly throughout

each cycle. These pauses are normal for washer

operation.
