Washer Safety

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety statements under

warning symbols. Please pay special

attention to these symbols and follow any

instructions given. Here is a brief explana-

tion of the symbol.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This symbol alerts you to

hazards such as fire, electrical

shock, or other injuries.

WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire,

electric shock, or injury to persons when

using the washer, follow basic precau-

tions, 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, or other flammable or

explosive substances as they give off

vapors that could ignite or explode.

•Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning

solvents, or other flammable or explo-

sive 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.

•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 door.

•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 under-

stand and have the skills to carry out.

•See Installation Instructions for ground-

ing requirements.

OPERATING YOUR WASHER

•To restart the washer, close the lid (if

open) and pull out the Cycle Control Knob.

Selecting a cycle and time

This section illustrates and describes the

wash cycles you can select with the Cycle

Control Knob. Use this information 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 8 to learn more about the

sounds you may hear during a wash cycle.

•Also, refer to page 9 to help you under-

stand what happens during a wash cycle.

Normal cycle

The Normal cycle features high agitation

and spin speeds to shorten drying time.

Use this cycle for cleaning cotton and linen

fabrics. Select 6, 10, or 14 minutes of wash

time, depending on whether your load is

lightly, moderately, or heavily soiled.

Permanent Press cycle

The Permanent Press cycle features a cool-

down rinse and low spin speeds to reduce

wrinkling. Use this cycle for cleaning perma-

nent press and some synthetic fabrics.

Select 10 or 8 minutes of wash time, de-

pending on whether your wash load is

moderately or lightly soiled.

NOTE: The 8-minute Permanent Press

cycle is indicated on your control panel with

a dot only, directly below the 10-minute

cycle.

washable knits.

continued on next page

OPERATING YOUR WASHER

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, push in the Cycle

Control Knob and turn clockwise to any of

the dots, as illustrated. Pull out the Cycle

Control Knob. The washer will fill to the

selected load size, agitate, drain, and spin.

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. To

add a drain and spin, push in

the Cycle Control Knob and

turn clockwise to any of the dashes, as

illustrated. Pull out the Cycle Control Knob.

The washer will drain, then spin.

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 washing

When you select a small load size setting for

a small wash load, your washer has a lower

water level. With this lower water level, you

may hear a clicking sound from the upper

portion of the agitator.

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.

After drain and before spin

When the cycle changes from draining to

spinning, you may hear gears engaging.

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.

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 through-

out each cycle. These pauses are normal for

washer operation.

WASH RINSE

OPERATING YOUR WASHER

Self-cleaning

lint filter Basket

interior

Self-cleaning lint filter

The lint filter at the bottom of the washer

basket cleans itself. During agitation, wash

and rinse water pass over the filter, separat-

ing 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.

Adding liquid chlorine bleach

Use your washer’s liquid chlorine bleach

dispenser to add bleach to the wash load.

Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do

not guess. Never use more than 1 cup

(250 mL) for a full load. Use less with lower

water level settings. Follow manufacturer’s

directions for safe use. Use a cup with a

pouring spout to avoid spilling.

1. Load the washer.

2. Pour measured chlorine bleach carefully

into the dispenser. Do not let bleach

splash, drip, or run down into washer

basket. Undiluted bleach will damage any

fabric it touches.

3. Start the washer. Bleach will be diluted

automatically during wash part of cycle.

NOTE: Do not use this dispenser to add

powdered chlorine or color safe bleach to

your wash load. The dispenser is for liquid

chlorine bleach use only.

Adding liquid fabric softener

•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 by

wetting the stain and rubbing with liquid

detergent or a bar of soap. Rewash the

stained item.

•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.
