US.
2) IMPORTANT: Keep this guide and the sales receipt
in a safe place for future reference. Proof of origi-
nal purchase date is needed for warranty service.
Please attach your sales receipt here.
Read this guide for best
results. It contains instructions
to acquaint you with proper

cedures.
In addition you will find a Laundering Tips guide
packed with your clothes washer. It contains information

Save time and money. If something should
go wrong, we suggest consulting the
"Before You Call" section in the back of this
book. It is designed to help you solve basic
problems before consulting a servicer.
However, should you need assistance in the future, it is
helpful to:
1) Have complete model and serial number identifica-
tion of your washer. This is located on a data plate on the

Important Safety Instructions ....................................
_k WARNING _To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, property damage or injury
to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
I. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. As with any equipment using electricity and having
moving parts, there are potential hazards. To use
this appliance safely, the operator should become
familiar with the instructions for operation of the
appliance and always exercise care when using it.
3. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
4, Install and level washer on a floor that can support
the weight.
5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never
plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which is
not grounded adequately and in accordance with
local and national codes. See installation instruc-
tions for grounding this appliance.
6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not wash items 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. Hand wash and line
dry any items containing these substances.
Any material on which you have used a cleaning
solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liq-
uids or solids, should not be placed in the washer
until all traces of these liquids or solids and their
fumes have been removed.
These items include acetone, denatured alcohol,
gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household clean-
ers, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and
wax removers.
b. 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.
c. 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 lot such a period, before using a wash-
ing machine or combination washer-dryer, 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.
7. Do not reach into the appliance if the agitator is
moving.
8. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.
Close supervision of children is necessary when the
appliance is used near children.
9. Do not tamper with controls.
10. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recom-
mended in published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to carry out.
11. Unplug power supply cord before attempting to ser-
vice your washer.
12. The agitator should not be removed. If the agitator
is removed, it must be replaced by pushing down
completely and the locking screw tightened before
the washer is operated.
13. Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry
place where children cannot reach them.
14. Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with veg-
etable or cooking oil. These items may contain some
oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the
fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.
15. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids
(such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash.
Hazardous fumes can form.
16. Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small
particles can stick to fabrics washed in following
loads and cause skin irritation.
17. Before the appliance is removed from service or dis-
carded, remove the door to the washing compart-
ment.

Operating lips ......................................................
Chlorine Bleach Dispenser
The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine
bleach before it reaches your wash load. To use, follow
these steps:
1. Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully, following
the instructions on the bottle.
2. Add the bleach to the dispenser before adding the
load. Avoid splashing or over-filling the dispenser.
Fabric Softener Dispenser
This dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric soft-
ener at the proper time during the cycle. To use, follow
these steps:
1. Pour liquid fabric softener into the dispenser using
the amount recommended on the package.
2. Add warm water to the dispenser until it reaches the
MAX line.
NOTE: NOTE:
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly
onto the load or into the wash tub. It is a powerful
chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as tear-
ing or color loss, if not used properly.
•If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine bleach,
pour it into the wash tub with your detergent. Do not
pour non-chlorine bleaches into the bleach dispenser.
Do not stop the washer during the first spin. This will
cause the dispenser to empty too soon.
Never pour fabric softener directly on the load. It will
leave spots and stains.
Use the dispenser for liquid fabric softeners only.
Clean the area in and around the dispenser frequently
with hot water, detergent and a soft brush.
Pour liquid chlorine bleach into
bleach dispenser.
Pour liquid fabric softener into cup and
dilute with warm water.

For detailed information on sorting, pretreating stains, etc., see the enclosed Laundry Tips pamphlet.
Detergent
•Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent. For •
best results, he sure detergent is added to the
washer BEFORE the load and be sure wash water
is above 65 ° E
•Use the correct amount of detergent for the load size,
soil level and water conditions. Use more detergent if
you have hard water and very soiled loads.
If you have soft water or a lightly soiled load, use less
detergent. (See manufacturer's instructions.)
• Wipe up any detergent spills on the washer.
Loading
Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to the
top row of holes for a maximum load.
Do not wrap large items like sheets around the agita-
[or.
Mix large and small items for best circulation. Wash
bulky items like blankets separately.
When laundering wrinkle free items or items of deli-
cate construction, washable woolens or loosely knit
items, never use less than the MEDIUM water level
setting. This will minimize shrinkage, wrinkling and
pulling of seams.
For best results, add the detergent to washtub before
adding the load.
5
Care and Cleaning ...............................................
Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day's wash-
ing. This will shut off the water supply to the washer
and prevent the unlikely possibili!y of damage from
escaping water.
Use asoft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other
spills as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel clean with a soft, damp cloth and glass
cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning
pads.
Cabinet - clean with soap and water.
Interior - hard water deposits may be removed, if
needed, using a recommended cleaner labeled wash-
er safe.
Storing the Washer ..............................................
Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from
hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare
the washer for storage as follows:
• Select NORMAL on the WHITES cycle and add one
cup of bleach or white vinegar to a full load of water
without clothes. Run the washer through a complete
cycle.
•Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet
hoses.
• Advance the cycle control dial to Spin and lower the
drain hose to eliminate any water that may be in the
drain hose.
• Disconnect the washer from the electrical supply and
leave the washer lid open to let air circulate inside the
tub.
