5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may

be produced in a hot water system that has

not been used for two weeks or more.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot

water system has not been used for such a

period, before using a washing machine or

combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot

water faucets and let the water flow from

each for several minutes. This will release any

accumulated hydrogen gas. THE GAS IS

FLAMMABLE. DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN

OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.

6. Do not allow children to play on or in the

washer. Close supervision of children is

necessary when the washer is used near

children. This is a safety rule for all appliances.

7. Before the washer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to the washing

compartment.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum

is moving.

9. Do not install or store the washer where it will

be exposed to water and/or weather.

10. Do not tamper with the controls.

11. Do not repair or replace any part of the

washer, or attempt any servicing unless

specifically recommended in the user-

maintenance instructions or in published user-

repair instructions that you understand and

have the skills to carry out.

12. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire,

DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter

to connect the washer to the electrical power

source.

13. Use your washer only for its intended purpose,

washing clothes.

14. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from

electrical supply before attempting any

service. Disconnect the power cord by

grasping the plug, not the cord.

15. Install the washer according to the

Installation Instructions. All connections for

water, drain, electrical power and grounding

must comply with local codes and be made by

licensed personnel when required. Do not do it

yourself unless you know how!

16. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes which have

traces of any flammable substances such as

vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, flammable

chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything containing

wax or chemicals such as in mops and cleaning

cloths, must not be put into the washer. These

flammable substances may cause the fabric

to catch on fire by itself.

17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or

product.

18. Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping

or dropping the washer can damage safety

features. If this occurs, have your washer

checked by a qualified service person.

19. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.

20. Be sure water connections have a shut-off

valve and that fill hose connections are tight.

CLOSE the shut-off valves at the end of each

wash day.

21. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the

23. If the washer’s volume or type of sound

changes from what is normally heard, call an

authorized service agent immediately to

prevent possible damage to other

components.

24. Never start a cycle and leave the property

without first checking to make sure the wash

cycle is complete.

Operation

Before Washing

Prepare Wash Load

Empty Pockets and Cuffs

Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them

inside out. One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail

or sharp object in a load can catch laundry, cause

tears and plug the pump. Facial tissue left in a

pocket will produce extreme “lint”. A crayon or

lipstick in a wash load may cause stains that

cannot be removed. Roll down cuffs and shake out

grass, sand and gravel.

Mend Rips and Tears

Little holes can become bigger in the washer. Mend

holes and tears before placing garments in the

washer.

Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks

These can catch on garments in a wash load and

tear them. Tie belts and sashes so they won’t wind

around clothes.

Put Small Items in Bag

Small items such as baby socks may get stuck

around the door. Put them inside a mesh garment

bag.

Check For Colorfastness

Squeeze a portion of garment in warm or hot sudsy

water. If the color bleeds or runs, wash the item

separately in cold water.

Sort Items

Different items use different wash cycles and

temperatures. Always follow the manufacturer’s

care label. Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few

guidelines:

1. Sort by Color:

Separate items into loads of

whites, darks, lights and non-

colorfast.

2. Sort by Fabric and Construction:

Separate items into loads of

cottons/linens, permanent press,

synthetics/blends/poly knits, and

delicates.

3. Sort by Temperature:

Separate items into loads

that can be washed in cold,

warm or hot water.

4. Sort by Type and Amount of Soil:

Heavily soiled clothes will need extra

treatment. Lightly soiled clothes can become

dingy if washed with heavily soiled items.

5. Sort Lint “Shedders” From Lint “Receivers”:

Some fabrics attract lint and should not be

washed with lint-shedding loads. Lint

shedders are cottons, terry towels, chenille

bedspreads, rugs and clothes that have been

heavily bleached.

Lint receivers are synthetics, permanent or

durable press, knits (including socks),

corduroy, and other smooth fabrics.

Pretreat

Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pretreat

product or liquid detergent when placing them in

the washer. Before washing, treat special stains

individually.

Loading the Washer

Load Articles

•Load items by the amount of space they take

up, not by their weight. Mix large and small

items in a load to get the best washing

results.

•Load items loosely into the wash drum. The

bulk of the clothes rather than the weight will

determine load size.

Bulky Items

•Use the HANDWASH/DELICATE cycle for

bulky items such as blankets and comforters.

The cycle includes gentle agitation to clean

items delicately and thoroughly. The extra

rinse cycle may be selected to ensure

complete removal of soap residue. A final spin

extracts the moisture at a low speed to

maintain the load’s balance and minimize wear

to the articles.

Load Sizes

•Load sizes vary. Small and large items should

be washed together to create a balanced load.

If washing a large item,two bath towelsshould

be added to even the load.

•Smaller loads can create an unbalanced

condition and cause premature wear on the

washer. Do not hesitate to fill the entire inner

drum of the washer. The load will compress a

great deal when wet. This allows room for

proper tumbling.

Water Level

•The washer will automatically adjust the water

level to the type and size of the load during

any fill.

Wash Temperature

Boosted Hot Water (on select models only)

The Boosted Hot Wash will boost the water

temperature in the tub to 60°C (140°F) and is

useful for improved cleaning of some loads. The red

HEATING light will light up when heating. The cycle

will not advance until 60°C (140°F) has been

reached.

The time needed to reach this temperature may

add an additional 30 to 60 minutes to the cycle

time. Hot water is the most effective for cleaning

but it is not recommended for all fabric types (read

labels).

NOTE: The Boosted Hot Wash can be turned off by

changing the cycle selector knob to OFF and

restarting a cycle with a different water

temperature setting.

Hot Water

The Hot Wash temperature is determined by the

actual temperature of the hot water supplied to

the washer. For models with Boosted Hot Wash,

the heater element will not be on. Hot water is the

most effective for cleaning, but it is not

recommended for all fabric types (read labels).

Warm Water

The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough

cleaning on lightly soiled clothing without damaging

fabric or adding to color fading.

The Warm Rinse is useful in preventing wrinkles on

certain fabrics. Check labels for fabric

manufacturer’s recommendations.

Do not wash or dry items soiled with

vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils may

remain after washing and may cause the

fabric to catch on fire by itself.

802756

Cold Water

The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although

its cleaning abilities are not as great as hot or

warm water, it is useful for colors that bleed easily

and for sensitive fabrics.

The Cold Rinse is optional in every cycle and is the

most beneficial for fabrics. Cold rinses reduce

wrinkling and color fading. In addition, cold rinses

will save money and energy.

NOTE: In wash temperatures colder than 16oC

(60oF), detergents do not dissolve well. This may

cause ineffective cleaning, or lint and residue to

form.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.

Wash Temperature Guide

Energy

You can save energy when washing by following a few

guidelines:

1. Heating water accounts for the greatest

energy expense when washing. Save on heating

water by using warm or cold washes as well as

cold rinses.

2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.
