Your safety and the safety of others is very important.,
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual
and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts;
you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety
alert symbol and the word "DANGER" or "WARNING:'
These words mean:
You will be killed or seriously
injured if you don't follow
instructions.
You can be killed or seriously
injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the
chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are
not followed.
YOUR SAFETY IS IMPORTANT TO US.
WAFINING: 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
co_JIdignite or explode.
• Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, or other flammable or explosive
su_)stances 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 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 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.

SPEEDS DESCRIPTIONS
This section illustrates and describes
the wash/spin speeds you can select
with the SPEEDS Control. Each speed
setting is designed for different types
of fabrics and soil levels.
HAND WASHABLES
Use this speed setting for hand washable
and special-care items. Garments are
labeled "Hand Wash" because:
• The fiber or construction may be
sensitive to agitation.
• The fabric contains sensitive dyes
that may bleed.
The wash action mirrors the way you
would treat hand washable garments in a
sink. It does this by repeating periods of
22
extra-slow speed agitation (10 seconds)
and soaking (20 seconds). Slow spin
speeds help reduce wrinkling. Do not use
HAND WASHABLES for large items like
blankets.
NOTE: Some "HAND WASH" items, par-
ticularly wool, naturally shrink when washed
either in the sink or in the washer HAND
WASHABLES Cycle. Keep this in mind
when you purchase items labeled "HAND
WASH:' Items that shrink should be dried
flat. Block these items by gently stretch-
ing to original measurements.
EXTRA DELICATE
Use this speed setting for lingerie and
loosely knit items. Setting combines
extra-slow speed agitation for gentle soil
removal and slow spin speeds to reduce
wrinkling.
DELICATE
Use this speed setting for washable
knit fabrics and permanent press fabrics.
Setting combines slow speed agitation
for gentle soil removal and slow spin
speeds to reduce wrinkling.
REGULAR
Use this speed setting for normally soiled
cottons and linens. Setting combines
slow speed agitation and fast spin speeds
to shorten drying time.
HEAVY DUTY
Use this speed setting for sturdy or
heavily soiled loads. Setting combines
fast speed agitation and fast spin
speeds.
HANG DRY
Use this speed setting for sturdy
permanent press fabrics that will be
line dried. Setting combines fast
speed agitation and slow spin speeds
to reduce wrinkling.

SE'LF-CLEANING LINT FILTER TRIPLE ACTION" AGITATOR
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 PAK'" PLUS
The QUIET PAK'" System is designed to
reduce water sounds and ringing noises.
The cabinet is insulated with sound-
dampening materials for superior vibra-
tion and sound-damping characteristics.
A sound-absorbing blanket under the
motor and gearcase also helps to insulate
the washer to reduce vibration noise.
Kenmore's exclusive TRIPLE ACTION"
Agitator gives you the most flexible
fabric care for even your largest loads.
The TRIPLE ACTION'" Agitator moves
in three directions, depending on
load size, to ensure
proper cleaning. The
best cleaning action in
your washer takes place
at the bottom where the
agitator vanes move
back and forth to flex
the fabric, loosening
the soil.
The upper portion
of the agitator
features special
vanes that push
the clothes down in
a spiraling pattern to where the cleaning
action is, displacing the clothes that
are there with a "roll-over" motion.
For your largest loads, the
TRIPLE ACTION'" Agitator offers a
load-sensing feature that actually
senses when you are washing a
really large load and responds by
telling the top part of the agitator to
move in an additional up and down
motion. This ensures that all clothes
get moved down to the lower vanes.

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 set-
ting 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 YOUR
TRIPLE DISPENSER
The triple dispenser makes your
washer truly automatic by making
it unnecessary for you to return to
the washer during the cycle to put in
detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
By using the triple dispenser, you are
assured of proper fabric care by ensuring
that detergent, bleach, and fabric softener
are introduced into the washer at the
proper time and properly diluted.
How It Works
The triple dispenser directs fresh
water from the washer inlet valve to
the dispensers.
The water directed to the dispenser
will be warm if both faucets are turned
on fully, regardless of wash or rinse
temperature selections. This is to ensure
proper dilution of laundry products. The
amount of warm water is not enough to
harm delicate or non-colorfast fabrics.
27
USING THE DETERGENT
DISPENSER
This dispenser will automatically dispense
either liquid or dry detergents. It holds
and automatically dispenses the detergent
at the beginning of the main wash cycle.
W_Lrmwater is used for dispensing regard-
less of water temperature selected. The
amount of warm water is not enough to
harm delicate or non-colorfast fabrics.

SOAK and PREWASH Cycles
• Add detergent or presoak product to
washer basket for SOAK or PREWASH
Cycles. The detergent dispenser will
not dispense in these cycles.
• I1:you are tollowing SOAK or PREWASH
with a regular wash cycle, add detergent
for the main wash into the dispenser.
Then add detergent or presoak product
for the SOAK or PREWASH Cycles into
the washer basket. This will permit you
to use the SOAK and PREWASH Cycles
without returning to the washer.
• Follow package recommendations
for the amount to use. Add clothes to
washer.
If using Powdered Detergent:
• Remove the Liquid Detergent Cup or
the Flow Diverter. Powdered detergent
can clog these parts. Add detergent
directly to dispenser.
If using Liquid Detergent:
• Use the Liquid Detergent Cup and
Flow Diverter only for liquid detergents..
• Do not overfill or dispenser will empty
too soon. Dispenser holds 1/2cup.

USING THE LIQUID CHLORINE
BLEACH DISPENSER
Automatically dispenses bleach at
the proper time in the cycle 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 for a full load. Use less
with smaller loads. Follow manufacturer's
directions for safe use. A cup with a
pouring spout will help you avoid spilling.
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.
• Star[ the washer. Bleach will be
dispensed automatically during the
last two minutes of agitation.
NOTE: Do not use this dispenser to add
powdered chlorine or color-safe bleach
to your wash Ioacl. The dispenser is for
liquid chlorine bleach only.
•Do n_ot overfill or dispenser will
empty too soon. Look for the level
that reads "DO NOT FILL ABOVE
THIS LEVEL': Dispenser holds 1 cup.

USING THE LIQUID FABRIC
SOFTENER DISPENSER
After loading the washer, measure and
add the recommended amount of fabric
softener into the dispenser. Follow
manufacturer's directions.
• Add warm water to fill the dispenser
to the level that reads "DO NOT FILL
ABOVE THIS LEVEL'.'
• Do not overfill or dispenser will
empty too soon causing stains on
load. Dispenser holds 2/3cup.
• Fabric softener is dispensed in 2ND
RINSE if 2ND RINSE is selected.
NOTE: Undiluted fabric softener spilled
on fabric may result in spots that look
like oil stains.

PREPARING CLOTHES
FOR WASHING
Follow these recommendations
to help you proRong 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 cuff.';, 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
lightly 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
u
Proper loading of your washer con-
tributes to proper cleaning and fabric
care and reduces machine noise.
• Drop items iinto 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 wrinkte-.free results. Items should
sink and reappear later.
• Load washer properly and select correct
water level setting. Overloading or
packing the machine, and selecting a
setting to() 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 balance.
An off-balance load can make the
washer vibrate during spin.
• Use a higher water level setting to reduce
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.

CLE--ANING YOUR WASHER
Proper care of !/our washer can extend
its life. This section explains how to care
for your washer properly and safely.
Exterior
Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other
spills with a soft, damp cloth or sponge
as they occur. Occasionally wipe the
outside 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 of chlorine
bleach mixed with 2 cups 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. Periodically 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
a permanent marker.
WINTER STORAGE OR
MOVING CARE
Install and store your washer where
it will not freeze. Because some water
may stay in the hoses, 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 quart of R.V.-type antifreeze
in the basket.
4. Run washer on aSPIN 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 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.
