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. 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 lid to the washing

compartment.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the washtub

or agitator 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. Replace fill hoses every five

years.

21. Lid MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer

is to agitate or spin. DO NOT by-pass the lid

switch by permitting the washer to agitate

or spin with the lid open. A brake will stop the

washtub within seconds if the lid is opened

during spinning. If the washtub does not

stop when the lid is opened, remove the

washer from use and call the service person.

22. Check washer for water leaks after each use.

If water is found, turn off the water supply

and call for service immediately . Don’t use

washer until it is repaired by an authorized

service agent.

components.

24. Never start a cycle and leave the property

without first checking to make sure the wash

cycle is complete.

25. Always read and follow manufacturer’s

instructions on packages of laundry and

cleaning aids. Heed all warnings or

precautions. To reduce the risk of poisoning

or chemical burns, keep them out of the

reach of children at all times (preferably in a

locked cabinet).

26. Always follow the fabric care instructions

supplied by the garment manufacturer.

27. Never operate the washer with any guards

and/or panels removed.

28. DO NOT operate the washer with missing or

broken parts.

29. DO NOT by-pass any safety devices.

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 and

cause tears. 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.

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. Refer to Stain Removal section for

procedures on treating specific stains.

Loading the Washer

NOTE: Always add detergent first.

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.

•Drop items loosely into the washtub. The bulk

of the clothes rather than the weight will

determine load size. Do not pack items in or

wrap them around the agitator. Overloading

can cause poor cleaning, excessive wrinkling

and tears.

•Items should move freely through the wash

water for best cleaning results. Items should

rollover, sink and then reappear.

•When washing very large items, do not fill

washtub as full as with other loads.

Water Level

•The water level in your washer should fit the

size of your wash load. Small loads will use

lower water levels. There must be enough

water in the washtub to allow items to move

and turn over freely.

•Overloading the washtub can result in poor

washing and rinsing.

•Overloading may also cause wrinkling and

tearing of items.

IMPORTANT: If in doubt, always use a higher

water level. Most average loads will require a

water setting between Medium and Extra Large.

Failure to have the correct volume of water

relative to the load will increase the incidence of

excessive lint.

•Reset (OPTIONAL)

Use the RESET if agitation has started and

more water is needed for the load.

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.

Wash Temperature

Hot Water

Hot water will give the best results of cleaning

and sanitizing, but it is not suitable for all items.

It is best for sturdy whites and colorfast items,

heavily soiled items and diapers.

Warm Water

By using warm water, there is less chance of color

loss in items. Warm water also reduces wrinkling

in permanent press items. Use with light and

moderate soils, non-colorfast or dark colors,

permanent press, silks, woolens, nylon, and acrylic.

Cold Water

Cold water is less effective in cleaning than hot or

warm water, but it does minimize wrinkling and

color fading. Use it for washing extra-sensitive

clothes and for the rinsing of all fabrics.

NOTE: In wash temperatures colder than 60oF

(15oC), detergents do not dissolve well. This

may cause ineffective cleaning, or lint and

residue to form.

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.

3. Use soak cycles for heavily soiled items to

reduce wash times.

4. Select a shorter wash time for lightly soiled

items.

Operating Your Washer

Determine Proper Cycle

(Some cycles may not be included on your model)

Regular Cycle

Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes,

towels, T-shirts, etc. The wash time selection will

depend on the type of fabric and the amount of

soil. For the best results when cleaning heavily

soiled items, use a longer wash time (15 minutes

maximum). Lightly soiled items require less wash

time and spin out.

There are three settings in the REGULAR cycle –

Extra Clean, Normal and Light. On some models,

the number shown next to these settings is the

length of agitation in minutes. (For example:

Setting the timer on Extra Clean will be a 15

minute agitation.)

Permanent Press Cycle

Use for permanent press items and synthetics.

The wash time selection will depend upon the type

of fabric and amount of soil.

There are two settings in the PERMANENT

PRESS cycle – Normal and Light. On some

models, the number shown next to these settings

is the length of agitation in minutes. (For

example: Setting the timer on Normal will be a

nine minute agitation.)

Delicate Cycle

Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on

this cycle. A full tub of water is recommended

(even for small loads) to allow the delicate items

to move freely through the water. More water

helps reduce fabric wear, wrinkling, and provides

for a clean wash.

There are two settings in the DELICATE cycle –

Normal and Light. On some models, the number

shown next to these settings is the length of

time in minutes. (For example: Setting the timer

on Normal will be nine minutes, including short

periods of agitation and long periods of soaking.)

Soak/Prewash (on select models only)

Use for heavily soiled or stained clothing. During

the SOAK/PREWASH setting, the washtub will fill

with water, agitate for a reduced period of time,

pause for approximately 12 minutes, and spin out

to complete the cycle.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,

serious injury or death to persons, read

the Safety Information section before

operating your washer.
