IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons
when using your washer, follow basic precautions, 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, 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
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 a washing machine, turn
on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several min-
utes. This will release any accumulat-
ed hydrogen gas. As the gas is flam-
mable, 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 lid.
Do not reach into the washer if the tub
or agitator is moving.
Do not install or store this 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 the
Owner's Manual or in published user-
repair instructions that you understand
and have the skills to carry out.
See the "iNSTALLATiON INSTRUC-
TIONS" section for grounding require-
ments.

In cold climates, warm rinse water also
provides a more comfortable tempera-
ture for handling the wash load.

• In wash water ten ,eratures colder than 70°F (21°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Also,
soils may be difficult to remove and some fabrics may retain wear wrinkles and have
increased pilling - the formation of small lint-like balls on the surface of garments. Piiling is
the natural result of wearing and washing of garments.

SETTING YOUR CYCLE
SELECTOR CONTROL (TIMER)
Use this control to choose the agitation
time and to start the washer. Each cycle
is designed with the wash and spin
speeds that are appropriate for the fab-
rics and soil levels in your wash load.
• For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, use
the full time (SUPER or REGULAR
if indicated).
• For light soil and delicate fabrics, use less
time (SHORT if indicated).
NOTE: Some "HAND WASH" items,
particularly wool, naturally shrink when
washed. Keep this in mind when you pur-
chase items labeled "Hand Wash." Items
that shrink should be dried flat. When still
wet. block these items by gently stretch-
ing to original measurements.
PERMANENT PRESS I
You can select up to 10 minutes of
wash time.
DELICATE
Use this cycle to get up to 6 minutes
of wash time for lingerie and loosely
knit items.
The PERMANENT PRESS I/DELICATE
Cycles include aload cooling spray
rinse that reduces wrinkling.
• Wash combines slow speed agitation for
gentle soil removal and slow spin speeds
to reduce wrinkling.
NORMAL
Use this cycle to get up to 10 minutes
of wash time for normally soiled cottons
and linens.
• Wash combines fast and slow speed
agitation with fast spin speeds to
shorten drying time.
Selecting REGULAR gives you fast
agitation speeds initially, then the washer
steps down to a slow agitation speed.
• Selecting SHORT gives you slow
agitation speed.
HEAVY DUTY
Use this cycle to get up to 14 minutes
of wash time for sturdy or heavily soiled
loads.
• Wash combines fast speed agitation and
fast spin speeds.
PREWASH (on some models)
Use this cycle to get up to 4 minutes of
agitation to help remove heavy soils and
stains that need pretreatment. PREWASH
Cycle should be followed by aHEAVY
DUTY, NORMAL, or PERMANENT
PRESS I Cycle with additional detergent.
SOAK (on some models)
SOAK Cycle features 4 minutes of agita-
tion followed by an unlimited soak time to
help remove heavy soils and stains that
need pretreatment, You will need
to reset the washer to a SPIN setting to
remove water. SOAK Cycle should be fol-
lowed by a HEAVY DUTY, NORMAL,
PERMANENT PRESS I or PREWASH
Cycle with additional detergent,
NOTE: We do not recommend hot water
for soaking. It may set some stains.

beneficial if extra detergent has been
used to remove heavy soils. Washers
with a RINSE OPTIONS Control allow
you to automatically add a second
rinse to the HEAVY DUTY Cycle.
Simply set the RINSE OPTIONS Control
on 2ND RINSE before you start the

SELF-CLEANING LINT FILTER DUAL ACTION TM AGITATOR
WIoJ,i,_,J_,, :Iv] i[_i ii "=
Lint is filtered from the load
automatically - there's no messy
cleanup,
Your washer features a self*cleaning
filter that traps lint from the water while
the washer is washing and deep rinsing
the laundry. The trapped lint is flushed
down the drain automatically. You don't
have to clean the filter.
QUIET PAKTM
(on some models)
The QUIET PAKTM System is designed to
reduce water sounds and ringing noises.
The cabinet is insulated with sound-
dampening material for better vibration
and sound-dampening characteristics.

Kenmore's DUAL ACTION Agitator
gives you flexible fabric care for even
your largest loads.
The best cleaning
action in your
washer takes
place at the bot-
tom where the
agitator vanes
move back and
forth to flex the
fabric, loosening
the soil. To get all
your clothes down
to the bottom of
the washer, the
upper portion of
the agitator has
uniquely designed, spiral vanes to help
push the clothes that are on top down t-
the bottom. This spiraling action dis-
places the clothes that are on the bot*
tom with a"roll-over" motion.

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.
The following describes some of the
normal 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 a noise as the
gearcase shifts.
USING THE LIQUID CHLORINE
BLEACH DISPENSER
The dispenser automatically dilutes
bleach to ensure the cleanest and
brightest loads.
Always measure liquid chlorine
bleach. Use a measuring cup, do not
guess. Do not pour directly from bottle.
Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for
a full load. Use less with smaller loads.
Follow
manufacturer's directions for safe use. A
cup with apouring spout will help you
After loading the washer, pour measured
liquid 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.
• Start the washer. Bleach will be diluted
automatically before it comes in contact
with the wash load.
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 only.

USING THE LIQUID FABRIC
SOFTENER DISPENSER
(on some models)
After loading the washer, measure and
add the recommended amount of fabric
softener into the dispenser. Follow manu-
facturer's directions.
NOTE: Pouring too much fabric softener
into the dispenser will cause the fabric
softener to dispense instantly into the
load due to siphoning action. This instant
"dump" could damage fabrics and will
make it appear that your dispenser is not
working correctly.
To Remove the Fabric Softener
Dispenser for Cleaning
STEP 1. Pull the blue lock ring up,
then remove dispenser from agitator
by pulling up,
STEP 2. Flush the dispenser with
warm water.
To Replace the Fabric Softener
Dispenser
STEP 1. Be sure the blue lock ring
is pulled up. Starting at an angle (see
illustration), push the bottom of the
dispenser down on the agitator top,
STEP 2. When the dispenser is
seated on the agitator, push the blue lock
ring down until it snaps in place.
It must fit tightly.
Liquid fabricsoftener
Add warm water to fill the dispenser
until it reaches the crossed opening at
the bottom of the funnel-shaped portion
of the dispenser.
Fabric softener is dispensed into the first
deep rinse water automatically.
NOTE: Fabric softeners are not com-
patible with detergents. This dispenser
should never be used in the PREWASH
Cycle since it would dispense fabric
softener into a wash load that has not
been rinsed. Undiluted fabric softener
spilled on fabric may result in spots that
look like oil stains.
If you ever use your dispenser this way
by mistake, rewash the load with extra
detergent to remove these deposits.

PREPARING CLOTHES
FOR WASHING
Wi+°j+'++++°j++""?_ i[_ 11"
Follow these recommendations
to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to
avoid snagging other items. Remove
pins, buckles, and other hard objects
to avoid scratching the washer interior.
Remove non-washable trim and
ornaments.
• Empty pockets and turn them
inside out.
Turn down cuffs, brush away lint
and dirt.
Turn synthetic knits inside out to
avoid pilling.
• Tie strings and sashes so they will
not tangle.
Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.
• Treat spots and stains.
Stained or wet garments should be
washed promptly for best results.
SORTING
Separate heavily soiled items from light-
ly soiled ones, even if they
would normally be washed together.
Separate lint givers (towels, chenille)
from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible,
turn lint givers inside out.
• Separate dark colors from light colors,
colorfast items from non-colorfast items.
Sort by fabric and construction
(sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).
31
LOADING
Proper loading of your washer con-
tributes to proper cleaning and fabric
care and reduces machine noise.
Drop items into washer loosely. Fill
to the top of the basket (top row of
holes). Do not wrap items around the
agitator. Items should move easily
through wash water for best cleaning
and wrinkle4ree results. Items should
sink and reappear later.
• Load washer properly and select correct
water level setting. Overloading or pack-
ing the machine, and selecting asetting
too small for the wash load can:
- cause poor cleaning
- increase wrinkling
- create excessive lint
- wear out items faster
(because of pilling)
Load by the amount of space items take
up, not by their weight.
• Mix large and small items in each load.
Load evenly to maintain washer bal-
ance. An off-balance load can make the
washer vibrate during spin.
• Use a higher water level setting to re*
duce wrinkling with permanent press
clothes and some synthetic knits. These
items should have more room to move
in the water than heavy items (towels,
jeans).
Reduce wash time by using a lower
water level setting. Loads with only a
few small items need less wash time.
LOADING SUGGESTIONS
For these suggested full-sized loads,
set the WATER LEVEL Selector to the
highest water level setting.

CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Exterior
Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other
spills with a soft, damp cloth or sponge
as they occur. Occasionally wipe the out-
side of the washer to keep it looking like
new,
Do not put sharp or metal objects in your
washer. They can damage the finish.
Check all pockets for pins, clips, money,
bolts, nuts, etc, Do not lay these objects
on your washer after emptying pockets.
Interior
Clean interior with 1 cup (250 mL) of
chlorine bleach mixed with 2 cups (500
mL) of detergent. Run washer through a
complete cycle using hot water. Repeat
process if necessary.
NOTE: Remove hard water deposits
using only cleaners labeled as washer
safe.
WATER INLET HOSES
Replace inlet hoses after five years of
use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Pe-
riodically inspect and replace inlet hoses
if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are
found. When replacing your inlet hoses,
mark the date of replacement on the
label with apermanent marker.
WINTER STORAGE
OR MOVING CARE
Install and store your washer where it will
not freeze. Because some water may
stay in the hoses and pump, freezing can
damage your washer, If storing or moving
your washer during freezing weather,
winterize it.
To winterize washer:
1. Shut off both water faucets,
2, Disconnect and drain water inlet
hoses,
3. Put 1 qt (1 L) of R,V.-type antifreeze
in the basket.
4. Run washer on a SPIN setting for
about 30 seconds to mix the
anti-freeze and water, Some of the
mixture will pump out while the
washer spins,
5. Unplug the power supply cord.
To use washer again:
1. Flush water pipes and hoses,
2, Reconnect water inlet hoses.
3. Turn on both water faucets.
4. Reconnect power supply cord.
5. Run the washer through a complete
cycle with 1 cup (250 mL) of detergent
to clean out antifreeze.
NON-USE OR VACATION CARE
Operate your washer only when you
are at home. If you will be on vacation or
not using your washer for an extended
period of time, you should:
Unplug the power supply cord or turn
off electrical power to the washer.
Turn off the water supply to the washer.
This helps avoid accidental flooding
(due to a water pressure surge) while
you are away.
