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.

. Sort and load clothes as described on

pages 13 and 14.

l If desired, you may also add color safe

bleach or extra detergent for the Super

Wash cycle.

2. (OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, add

measured liquid chlorine bleach to the

liquid bleach dispenser. See page 11.

l Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the

bleach dispenser.

3. (OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, pour

measured liquid fabric softener into

the liquid fabric softener dispenser.

See page 11.

4. Close the washer lid.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death, fire, or electrical

shock.

5. Turn the Load Size Selector to the

setting that corresponds with the size

of your wash load and the type of

fabric being washed.

l See pages 13 and 14 for loading

suggestions.

l The Load Size Selector has 5 settings:

Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large, and

Extra Large.

l To change the load size setting after

the washer has started to fill, turn the

Selector to the desired new setting.

6. Select wash-rinse-final spray rinse

temperatures with the CLEAN TOUCH*

Water Temperature Selector. Match the

water temperatures with the type of

fabric and soils being washed.

l See page 15 for water temperature

guidelines.

l Five wash-rinse-final spray rinse

temperature selections are available:

hot-cold-cold, warm-cold-cold,

cold-cold-cold, warm-warm-warm,

and warm-cold-warm. A colored

indicator shows the setting you select.

NOTE: With the warm-cold-warm

temperature combination, you can save

energy with a cold rinse, but warm the

load with final warm sprays. This makes

the load more comfortable to handle and

helps reduce drying time.

7. (OPTIONAL STEP) Set the Extra Rinse

selector to On for an additional rinse

and spin at the end of the wash cycle.

l Use the Extra Rinse option when adding

extra detergent for the Super Wash

cycle, or any other cycle. Extra Rinse is

available in all cycles.

Selecting a cycle and time

This section illustrates and describes the

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 Refer to page 10 to help you understand

what happens during a wash cycle.

continued on next page

Super Wash cycle

The Super Wash cycle (18 minutes) features

an extended

wash time for

washing heavily

soiled loads that

need maximum

soil removal.

For improved

cleaning, use two

times the amount

of detergent recommended for a wash cycle.

Normal cycle

The Normal cycle features the Gentle Wash

system (high and

low agitation) and

spin speeds. High

spin speeds

shorten drying

time. Use this

cycle for cleaning

cotton and linen

fabrics. Select

9 (Regular), 12 (Heavy), or 15 (Ex Heavy)

minutes of wash time, depending on whether

your !oad is moderately or heavily soiled.

For lightly soiled cotton and linen fabrics,

use the 6-minute Softwash setting.

Permanent Press cycle

The Permanent Press cvcle features the

Gentle Wash

system (high

and low agitation

speeds). A cool-

down rinse and

low spin speeds

reduce wrinkling.

Use this cycle for

cleaning perma-

nent press and some synthetic fabrics.

Select 6 (Light) or 9 (Regular) minutes of

wash time, depending on whether your wash

load is lightly or moderately soiled.

Delicate cycle

The Delicates cycle features an extra low

agitation speed

for gentle soil

removal. Low

spin speeds

reduce wrinkling.

Use 6 minutes of

time for cleaning

lightly to moder-

ately soiled

ble knits.

Ultimate Care cycle

(Hand Washables)

The Ultimate Care (Hand Washables) cycle

features a series

of brief, extra low

speed agitations

(7 seconds) and

short soaks

(13 seconds)

to gently clean

special-care

items. Low spin

speeds reduce wrinkling. Use 6 minutes of

wash time to clean lightly soiled hand

washables.

Wash small loads. If items appear to be

floating (due to trapped air), stop the washer

by pushing in the Cycle Control Knob. Push

items down into the water and restart the

washer. Refer to “Hand Washables” on

page 16 for more information.

Using rinse and spin

When using extra detergent for heavily

soiled clothes, or washing special-care

items, you may find an extra rinse and spin

is needed.

1. For an additional rinse, push in the Cycle

Control Knob and turn clockwise to Rinse,

as illustrated.

2. Pull out the 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.

1. Push in the Cycle Control Knob and turn

clockwise to Spin, as illustrated.

2. Pull out the Cycle Control Knob. The

washer drains, then spins.

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.

The following describes some of the

sounds you may hear and what causes

them.

During drain

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 After drain and before spin

When you select a small load size setting for When the cycle changes from draining to

a small wash load, your washer has a lower spinning, you may hear gears engaging.

water level. With this lower water level, you

may hear a clicking sound from the upper

portion of the agitator.

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 XTRA ROLL ACTION*

agitator creates

a continuous

rollover action

that provides a

thorough cleaning

of the wash load.

After agitation starts, the Cycle Control Knob

turns clockwise until it points to an Off area

and the cycle ends.

NOTES:

l The washer pauses briefly throughout

each cycle. These pauses are normal for

washer operation.

l A Gentle Wash system helps protect your

fabrics by reducing wash agitation speed

during the last few minutes of wash

agitation in the Normal and Permanent

Press cycles.

MAGIC CLEAN* lint filter

The lint filter at the bottom of the washer

basket cleans itself. During agitation, wash

and rinse water passes over the filter,

separating the lint from the water. The lint is

then spun away from the filter and 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.
