Important Safety Instructions
PREVENT FIRE
• 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 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. HYDROGEN GAS 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 will release any ac-
cumulated 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.
PROTECT CHILDREN
• 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.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materi-
als after the washer is unpacked. Children might use
them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or
plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
• 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 entrap-
ment.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in seri-
ous personal injuries.

6Operating Instructions
Normal Operating 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. DOOR LOCK Your washer is equipped with a door lock
with an electric solenoid. There will be a clicking sound as
the washer door is being locked or unlocked.
D. 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.
E. HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used to drive
the drum to high spin speeds to extract water from your
load. You will 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.

• Thoroughly wash any utensils used.
• Do not combine stain removal products, especially ammo-
nia and chlorine bleach. Dangerous fumes can result.
• Never wash items which have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry clean-
ing solvents or other flammable or explosive substances
because they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Never use highly flammable solvents, such as gasoline,
inside the home. Vapors can explode on contact with
flames or sparks.
For Successful Stain Removal:
• Remove stains promptly.
• Determine the kind of stain, then follow the recommended
treatment in the stain removal chart on the next page.
• To pretreat stains, use a prewash product, liquid detergent,
or a paste made from powder detergent and water.
• Use cold water on unknown stains as hot water can set
stains.
• Consult care label instructions for treatments to avoid on
specific fabrics.
• Check for colorfastness by testing stain remover products on
an inside seam.
• Rinse and wash items after stain removal.
WARNING

Performing Manual Drain
Cleaning Pump Filter
Care and Cleaning
Inspect for O-ring before
reinserting pump filter
In the event the washer will not drain under its own power due
to a power outage or clogged drain pump you can drain the
water left in the drum manually.
With the wash tub and drain hose drained of all water and
the drain spout snapped in place, follow these directions to
remove, clean, and reinsert the pump filter.
1. “Unscrew” the filter and pull it out.
2. Dump the filter and inspect the opening for any loose
objects.
3. Rinse the filter completely before putting it back in place.
NOTE
Removing the pump cleanout door completely may be
necessary to place your catch pan under the drain spout.
NOTE
You may have to add about 2 litres of clean water through the
mainwash detergent compartment to reprime the drain pump.
With a catch pan ready, pinch the two flaps on the sides drain
spout and flip it down.
4. “Screw” filter back in place until it stops. The arrow on the
drain spout should be pointing upward.
5. Reinstall pump cleanout door if removed earlier.
IMPORTANT
Check to make sure O-ring is in place before reinserting
pump filter. Take care to not cross threads when turning
pump filter during reinsertion.
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD
Do not attempt to manually drain the drum if it is full of hot
water. Allow water to cool before proceeding with manual
draining.
When the water has stopped flowing, press the drain spout
back up and in until the outer flaps snap into place.
20 Care and Cleaning
• Remove the drawer by pulling the drawer out until it stops.
• Reach back into the back of the drawer cavity and press
down firmly on the lock tab. Pull out the drawer.
• Remove the inserts from the bleach and fabric softener
compartments.
• Rinse the drawer and inserts with a combination of ¾ cup
liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon hot tap water to remove
traces of accumulated powders and liquids. Large amounts
of fabric softener residue may indicate improper dilution or
more frequent cleaning is required. Rinse well with tap water.
• To clean the drawer opening, use a small brush to clean the
recess. Remove all residue from the upper and lower parts
of the recess.
• Replace the inserts by pressing in place until you hear a slight
click. Return the dispenser drawer.
Cleaning Dispenser Drawer Area
Daily Preventive Maintenance
Other Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventive)
• 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 thor-
oughly with water.
• Periodically, wipe dry the folds in the bottom of the flexible
gasket to remove lint and other debris.
NOTE
Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the dispenser
drawer. Residue should be removed once or twice a month.
21
Inside Cleaning (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 load). Open
the detergent drawer and pour eight (8) cups of bleach into
the detergent compartment. Select clean 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.
If odor is still left after bleach cycle(s) and bleach cleaner,
open the detergent drawer and pour one (1) pouch of TIDE®
WASHING MACHINE CLEANER in detergent drawer. Select
clean washer cycle and start the washer.
For best results
Immediately follow up with a spin cycle. Select
fresh rinse on max spin speed with no detergent
or bleach to help clear any residual bleach left after the
clean washer cycle.
IMPORTANT
Always wear rubber or latex gloves and protect floor and
clothing from damage.
