Instructions:

PREVENT FIRE

PROTECT CHILDREN

• Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned
in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. Do not store
these items on or near the washer. These substances
give off vapors or chemical reactions that could ignite
or explode.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer
is used near children. As children grow, teach them the
proper, safe use of all appliances.

them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads
or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.

• Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the
washer. These substances give off vapors that could
ignite the materials.
• Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, 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. HYDROGENGAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water system has not been used for such a
period, before using the washer, turn on all hot water
faucets and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This wilt release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to
the rubber or plastic parts of the washer.
• Do not continue to use the washer if you hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This
could be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to
fire or serious injury. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.

• Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product
labels.
• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the washer door to prevent accidental
entrapment.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
serious personal injuries.

Sounds

You may or may not hear the following sounds from your
new washer:
A. DRAIN HOSE The washer has a flexible drain hose
to carry water from the washer to the stand pipe of
your home. You will hear water flowing into your stand
pipe. This is a normal part of the operation of the
washer.
B. WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters
the dispenser system, it is common to hear a water
flowing sound. This normal sound will vary slightly
based on the water pressure in your home.
C. DRAIN PUMP Your washer is equipped with a high
velocity drain pump. It is normal to hear humming and
gurgling sounds as water is pumped from the washer.
Both of these sounds are normal and indicate that
your pump is functioning correctly.
D. HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used to
drive the drum to high spin speeds to extract water
from your load. You witt hear a sound associated with
these higher spin speeds. This sound is normal and
will vary slightly as the spin speed varies with load size
and cycle selected.

Abnormal, on-going sounds may be an indication of a
pending washer failure and should be investigated by a
qua!!fled technic!anT......................................................................................

cavity and press down firmly on the lock tab. Pull out
the drawer.
• Remove the insert from the bleach and fabric softener
compartments.
• Rinse the drawer and inserts with a combination of %
cup liquid chlorine bleach and ! gallon hot tap water

Daily

Preventive

Maintenance

Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle
ends. Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and odors may
develop in items left in the washer.
If there are no small children or pets present, you may
leave the door ajar when the washer is not in use.
Leave the dispenser drawer open slightly at the end of
the wash day.
Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket,
and door glass. These areas should always be clean to
ensure a water tight seal.
When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty
residue may remain on the drum. Remove this by wiping the drum with a nonabrasive household cleanser.
Rinse thoroughly with water.
Periodically, wipe dry the folds in the bottom of the
flexible gasket to remove lint and other debris.

InsideCleaning

(Aggressive)

In cases where the clean washer cycle along with care
and cleaning of rubber gasket folds isn't done, and severe
odor, mold, mildew, or residue buildup have developed,
follow the below cleaning procedure to help alleviate the
problem.
CLEANING PROCEDURE - Washer Drum
Ensure the wash tub is empty (or no clothes toad),
Open the detergent drawer and pour eight (8) cups of
bleach into the detergent compartment. Select dean
washer cycle as described previously in Inside Routine
Cleaning (Preventive).
Upon cycle completion inspect the interior of the
washer to see if the odor/residue has been eliminated.
If any additional cleaning is required, repeat the above
procedure. This may take several cycles depending on
the severity of the odor/residue. You may observe some
remaining discoloration due to the long term effects of
this residue.
For especially contaminated areas visible inside the drum
(including the front rubber seal), these areas might be
more effectively cleaned by spraying a Bleach Cleaner on
a scrub brush, soft sponge, or towel and scrubbing.
