IMPORTANT

SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the 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 the
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 the 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 this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
° See Installation Instructions for grounding
requirements.

Loading suggestions
For these suggested full-sized loads, set the LOAD SIZE
selector to the highest load size setting.

SUPER CAPACITY

When the Cycle Control knob is set to a number and pulled
out, the washer fills (to the selected load size) before
agitation and timing start. The washer begins agitating
immediately after filling; agitation occurs with the washer
lid up or down.
During agitation, the agitator creates a continuous rollover
action that provides a thorough cleaning of the wash load.

Your new washer may make sounds your old one didn't.
Because the sounds might be unfamiliar, you may be
concerned about them. These sounds are normal.

During washing
When you select a small load size setting, your washer has
a lower water level. This can cause a clicking sound from
the upper part of the agitator.

Electrical Shock Hazard

During drain

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

If water is drained quickly from your washer (depending on
your installation), you may hear air being pulled through
the pump during the end of draining.

Do not remove ground prong.

After drain and before spin

Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.

Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.

When the cycle changes from draining to spinning, you
may hear gears engaging.

1, Measure detergent and pour it into the washer.

• If desired, add powdered or liquid color safe bleach.
• Add extra detergent for the Super Wash cycle.

Fire Hazard
.

Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer.

Never place items in the washer that are
dampened with gasoline or other flammable
fluids.
No washer can completely

remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of
oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion,

or fire.

• Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large
and small items.
• Items should move easily through the wash water.
Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
• To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and
some synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide
more space (see step 6).

,

(OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid chlorine
bleach into the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on
some models). Bleach will be diluted automatically
during the wash part of the cycle.

• You may change the load size selection after the
washer has started filling by turning the selector to a
different setting.

,

• Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load.
Use less with a smaller load size.
•

,

• Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser
with warm water until liquid reaches the crossbar in
the opening.

(OPTIONAL STEP) Some models have an EXTRA
RINSE selector. For an additional rinse and spin at the
end of a wash cycle, set the EXTRA RINSE selector to
ON. On some models, the Extra Rinse feature is part of
the cycle.
(OPTIONAL STEP) Some models have a CYCLE
SIGNAL selector. Set the CYCLE SIGNAL selector to
ON if you want your washer to alert you when the wash
cycle is complete. The signal is helpful when you are
washing items that should be removed from the washer
as soon as the cycle ends.

10. Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to
the wash cycle you want Reduce the wash time when
using a small load size setting See "Selecting a Cycle
and Time"

• Do not spill or drip any fabric softener on the

11, Pull out the Cycle Control knob to start the washer.

Heavy cycle
This cycle features high-speed agitation followed by brief
periods of low-speed agitation for cleaning sturdy fabrics
and heavily soiled loads that need maximum soil removal.
Select Super Wash or Regular depending on whether your
load is moderately or heavily soiled. For improved
cleaning, use twice the amount of detergent
recommended for a wash cycle. The Heavy cycle features
Extra Rinse as part of the cycle.

12,(OPTIONAL STEP) On models without a bleach
dispenser, if desired, add measured liquid chlorine
bleach after the washer starts agitating. Pour diluted
bleach around the agitator, not directly on the load.
Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it touches.
13, (OPTIONAL STEP) On models without a fabric softener
dispenser, if desired, add measured liquid fabric
softener to the final rinse water. Always dilute fabric
softener with 1/2to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) of warm
water. Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics.
NOTE: To stop the washer at any time, push in the Cycle
Control knob. To restart the washer, close the lid (if open)
and pull out the Cycle Control knob.

This section describes the available wash cycles and will
help you make the best cycle selections for your wash
loads. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric
and soil levels.
The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle.
These pauses are normal. Refer to "Normal washer
sounds" to learn more about the sounds you may hear
during a wash cycle.
Refer to "Understanding washer cycles" to learn what
happens during a wash cycle.
NOTE: This manual covers several different models. The
washer you purchased will not have all of the cycles
described.

This cycle features high-speed agitation followed by a brief
period of low-speed agitation for cleaning cottons and
linens. High spin speeds shorten drying time. Select 6 to
15 minutes of wash time, depending on your model, for
loads that are moderately or heavily soiled. For lightly
soiled loads, use the shortest time setting.
Super Wash - Select the Super Wash setting to wash
heavily soiled loads that need maximum soil removal. Use
twice the amount of detergent recommended for a wash
cycle.

Permanent Press cycle
This cycle starts with high-speed agitation and then steps
down to low-speed agitation for cleaning permanent press
blends and synthetic fabrics. To minimize wrinkling, this
cycle features a cool-down rinse and a low-speed final
spin. Select 6 to 10 minutes of wash time, depending on
your model, to clean lightly to moderately soiled loads.

Delicate cycle
This cycle features a low-speed agitation for gentle soil
removal from delicate items and washable knits. Low spin
speeds minimize wrinkling. Select 3 to 9 minutes of wash
time, depending on your model, to clean lightly to
moderately soiled loads.

Hand Washables cycle
This cycle features a series of brief, low-speed agitations
and short soaks to gently clean special-care items. Low
spin speeds minimize wrinkling. Wash small loads. If items
appear to be floating (due to trapped air), stop the washer
by pushing in the Cycle Control knob. Push items down
into the washer. Restart the washer.

this into your washer and run it through a complete cycle
using hot water. Repeat this process if necessary.

Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to
any of the Spin settings

NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only
cleaners labeled as washer safe.

Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer drains,
then spins.

Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser
Flush dispenser periodically with warm water, as shown.
Remove the dispenser by grasping the top of the
dispenser with both hands and squeezing and pushing
upwards with thumbs. Clean the dispenser by rinsing it
under a water faucet. Replace it after cleaning.
NOTE: Do not wash clothes with this dispenser removed.
Do not add detergent or bleach to this dispenser; it is for
liquid fabric softener use only.

Your washer has a self-cleaning lint filter at the bottom of
the basket. Wash and rinse water flow over the filter during
agitation, separating the lint from the water. The lint spins
out of the system during the spin part of the cycle.
If your washer drains into a tub, remove any lint collected
in the tub or strainer.

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.

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 washer or disconnect power.
Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps
avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure
surge) while you are away.

To winterize washer:
1. Shut off both water faucets.
2, Disconnect and drain 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.

3, Put 1 quart (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket.
4, Run washer on a drain and spin setting (see "Drain and
spin") for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and
water.
5, Unplug washer or disconnect power.

To use washer again:
1, Flush water pipes and hoses.
2, Reconnect water inlet hoses.
3.

Turn on both water

faucets.

4, Plug in washer or reconnect power.
5, Run the washer through a complete cycle with 1 cup
(250 mL) of detergent to clean out antifreeze.
