Operating Instructions . . .
NOTE: Always follow Manufacturer’s care labels.
Determine Proper Cycle
REGULAR Cycle
Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes, towels,
T-shirts, etc. The wash time selection will depend on the
type of fabric and the amount of soil. For the best results
when cleaning heavily soiled items, use the prewash
setting and a longer wash time (15 minutes maximum).
Lightly soiled items require less wash time.
There are four settings in the REGULAR cycle —
PREWASH, HEAVY, NORMAL and LIGHT. The
prewash setting is for heavily soiled or stained clothing.
NOTE: Detergent should not be used during the
PREWASH setting. Use a spot remover directly on
stains when using this setting. Detergent should be
added when the PREWASH setting ends.
PERMANENT PRESS Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The wash
time selection will depend upon the type of fabric and
amount of soil. There are two settings in the
PERMANENT PRESS cycle — NORMAL and LIGHT.
DELICATE Cycle
Wash delicate items usually washed before by hand on
this cycle. There are two settings in the DELICATE
cycle — NORMAL and LIGHT.
RINSE & SPIN Cycle
Use for items that only need to be rinsed. This cycle is
also useful in ridding your washer of suds when too much
detergent or regular sudsing detergent has been used.
NOTE: In some cases, the RINSE & SPIN cycle may
not be enough to completely remove soap. In these
cases, an additional RINSE & SPIN setting may be
necessary.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death to persons, read the
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in the
Use and Care Guide before operating your
washer.

To Wash Clothes
IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer, make
sure the washer cord is plugged into a 120 Volt
electrical outlet that has the proper grounding and
polarity. Make sure the washer hoses are connected to
the hot and cold water faucets, and that the faucets
are turned on. Be sure the drain hose is not kinked
and is inserted into a drain. See the INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS for details of proper washer
installation.
IMPORTANT: Prior to first wash, use an all-purpose
cleaner, or a detergent and water solution, and a
damp cloth to remove shipping dust from inside of
washtub.
1. Get the clothes ready for washing. Empty pockets
and cuffs. Sort items into separate loads. Pretreat
stains and heavily soiled areas.
2. Measure and add low sudsing detergent, fabric
softener, and bleach to the dispenser drawer. Refer to
section on Using Your Dispenser Drawer.
3. Load clothes into wash drum. Refer to section on
Load Sizes in your Use and Care Guide.
4. Close the loading door tightly. The washer will not
operate with the loading door open.
5. Set WASH/RINSE temperatures.
There are five WASH/RINSE temperatures available —
BOOSTED HOT Wash/COLD Rinse, HOT Wash/COLD
Rinse, WARM Wash/COLD Rinse, WARM Wash/
WARM Rinse, and COLD Wash/COLD Rinse.
Refer to the Available Water Temperatures section for
the temperature that works best for your garments.

6. Select EXTRA RINSE if desired.
The extra rinse control is useful for detergent sensitive
skin. By pressing the EXTRA RINSE to ON, the
REGULAR, PERMANENT PRESS, and DELICATE
cycles will each provide an additional rinse. If the extra
rinse is desired, press the switch to ON. When the extra
rinse is not wanted, OFF should be selected.
7. Select the cycle according to the type of fabric being
washed. Push the timer knob in and turn clockwise to
the desired cycle and wash time. Use the indicator
dot on the knob as a guide.
8. Pull the timer knob out to start the washer. The
DOOR LOCKED light will come on after a short
delay, water fill will begin, and wash drum will begin
tumbling.
NOTE: Washer door MUST be closed tightly to start
washer.
If items need to be added or removed after a cycle has
started, push the timer knob in, wait approximately 45
seconds for DOOR LOCKED light to go out, open door,
add or remove items, adjust the timer knob (if desired)
and pull timer knob out.
There is no agitator on this washer. Instead, the clothing
gently tumbles through the water. The wash action
consists of a period of tumbling in one direction, a brief
pause, and then a reverse tumble in the opposite direction.
The pauses are part of the tumble action and add to the
uniqueness of the washer. Do not attempt to turn the timer
through these pauses. They are part of the cycle.
NOTE: There will be extended pauses when Boosted
Hot Wash is selected because the water is being
heated.

Timer
Although the washer cycles are automatic, the timer may
be reset to lengthen, shorten or repeat a portion of a cycle.
To set or reset the timer, push timer knob in to stop the
washer. Hold timer knob in firmly while slowly turning it
clockwise to the setting desired. Pull timer knob out to
start the washer.
DOOR LOCKED Light
When the washer is started, the “DOOR LOCKED”light
will come on after a short delay. The light will turn off
10 to 30 seconds after the cycle is complete.
HEATER ON Light
This light comes on during the Boosted Hot setting only.
While the washer is heating, the HEATER ON light will
turn on. The light will go off when the washer tumbles
and will come back on when the heater is on.
Out of Balance Load
If at the end of the cycle, the load is dripping wet, the
washer has limited the spin speed. This is to prevent
damage to the unit if there is a severely unbalanced load.
If this condition occurs, redistribute the load manually
and repeat the cycle beginning at the last rinse.
If the condition persists, consider steps discussed in the
Before Washing section of the Use and Care Guide.
End of Cycle Signal
The volume of the signal tone may be set on OFF, LOUD
or between the two selections. If a volume level is
selected, the signal tone will buzz on and off when the
cycle is completed. The signal will stop when the door is
opened, or when the timer has advanced to an OFF
position.
NOTE: If the signal comes on and remains on, the
washer may have sensed an error. Unplug the washer,
shut water off to washer and contact a service person.

Using Your Dispenser Drawer . . .
Detergent Compartment
The detergent compartment is located on the right side of
the dispenser drawer. See compartment 1 of illustration.
Use low sudsing powdered or liquid detergents that are
recommended for use with high efficiency or front
loading washers. Powdered bleach can also be used in the
dispenser along with the detergent.
NOTE: If using detergents made for topload washers,
avoid oversudsing by using 1/2 of the recommended
amount.
When adding detergent, use only the recommended
amount. Adding too much detergent or using regular
sudsing detergent could result in an oversudsing
condition, which would require additional rinsing with
cold water. Use care when adding detergent so as not to
spill into the other compartments. Detergent mixed with
fabric softener can make the softener gummy.
NOTE: The normal level of suds should be below
center of the door.
Liquid Bleach Compartment
The bleach compartment is located in the left front corner
of the dispenser drawer. See compartment 2 of
illustration. It has been designed to prevent the
dispensing of undiluted bleach onto the clothes load.
Use liquid bleach in the dispenser. Powdered bleach
must not be used in this compartment. Powdered
bleach can be used in the detergent compartment only
and can be added along with the detergent.
DO NOT use more than the maximum level indicated
for the bleach compartment. Adding more than the
maximum amount could result in early dispensing of the
product and possible damage to fabrics.
Carefully pour recommended amount of bleach into the
compartment before starting wash load.
Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach. It is a strong
chemical and can damage some fabrics if it is not
properly diluted. Follow bleach manufacturer’s label for
proper use.
Carefully close dispenser door. Do not allow bleach to
spill into other compartments.
Fabric Softener Compartment
The fabric softener compartment is located in the left rear
corner of the dispenser drawer. See compartment 3 of
illustration.
Use no more than the maximum level indicated for the
fabric softener compartment. Adding more than the
maximum amount could result in early dispensing of the
product and possible staining of fabrics.
Add fabric softener to compartment before beginning
washload. The fabric softener will be dispensed during
the last rinse cycle.
Carefully close dispenser door. Do not allow softener to
spill into other compartments.
To Clean the Dispenser
Remove the dispenser drawer from the washer by firmly
pulling the drawer straight out, past the stop position.
Rinse dispenser drawer in hot water. A small brush may
be used to thoroughly clean out any residue. After
cleaning, reinstall the dispenser drawer.
From time to time, water may be discovered in the
dispenser drawer. This condition is normal. To remove
the water, simply remove the dispenser drawer and pour
out the water.

Available Water Temperatures . . .
The Boosted Hot Wash will boost the water temperature
in the tub to 140 °F and is useful for improved cleaning
of some loads. The HEATER ON light will light up when
the heating element is on. The timer will not advance
until 140 °F has been reached. The time needed to reach
this temperature may add an additional 30 to 60 minutes
to the cycle time. Hot water is the most effective for
cleaning but it is not recommended for all fabric types
(read labels).
NOTE: The Boosted Hot Wash can be turned off by
rotating the WASH/RINSE temperature to another
setting. (The washer may pause for a short time when
this change is made.)
The Hot Wash temperature is determined by the actual
temperature of the hot water supplied to the washer. The
heater element will not be on.
The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough
cleaning on lightly soiled clothing without damaging
fabric or adding to color fading. This washer has a sensor
that regulates the incoming water for warm wash and
warm rinse and provides an overall temperature of
approximately 100 °F.
The Warm Rinse is useful in preventing wrinkles on
certain fabrics. Check labels for fabric manufacturer’s
recommendations.
The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although its
cleaning abilities are not as great as with hot or warm
water, it is useful for colors that bleed easily and for
sensitive fabrics.
The Cold Rinse is optional in every cycle and is the most
beneficial for fabrics. Cold rinses reduce wrinkling and
color fading. In addition, cold rinses will save you
money and energy.
NOTE: The Energy Saver settings, marked with an
asterisk (*), show which temperature settings will use
the least energy.
NOTE: Always follow Manufacturer’s care labels.

Ciclo de REGULAR (prendas corrientes)
Utilícelo con prendas resistentes, como las de juego o
trabajo, toallas, camisetas, etc. La selección de tiempo de
lavado dependerádel tipo de tejido y del grado de
suciedad. A fin de obtener los mejores resultados al
limpiar prendas muy sucias, utilice la calibración de
prelavado y un intervalo de lavado más prolongado (un
máximo de 15 minutos). Las prendas poco sucias exigen
un intervalo de lavado menos prolongado.
El ciclo de REGULAR (prendas corrientes) dispone de
cuatro calibraciones: PREWASH (prelavado), HEAVY
(colada grande), NORMAL (colada normal) y LIGHT
(colada pequeña). La calibración de prelavado se emplea
con prendas muy sucias o que tengan manchas.
NOTA: No deberáutilizarse detergente durante el
ciclo de PREWASH (prelavado). Al hacer uso de esta
calibración, emplee un quitamanchas directamente en
las manchas. El detergente deberáañadirse cuando
finalice el PREWASH (prelavado).
Ciclo de PERMANENT PRESS (prendas
inarrugables)
Utilícelo con prendas inarrugables y tejidos sintéticos. La
selección de tiempo de lavado dependerádel tipo de
tejido y del grado de suciedad. El ciclo de PERMANENT
PRESS (prendas inarrugables) dispone de dos
calibraciones: colada normal y colada pequeña.
Ciclo de DELICATE (prendas delicadas)
Utilícelos con prendas delicadas que, por regla general,
anteriormente se lavaban a mano. El ciclo de DELICATE
(prendas delicadas) dispone de dos calibraciones:
NORMAL (colada normal) y LIGHT (colada pequeña).
Ciclo de RINSE & SPIN (aclarado y centrifugado)
Utilícelo con prendas que sólo precisen aclarado. Este
ciclo resulta asimismo útil con el objeto de eliminar la
espuma de la lavadora cuando se haya hecho uso de
demasiado detergente o de detergente que forma una
cantidad normal de espuma.
NOTA: En ciertos casos, el ciclo de RINSE & SPIN
(aclarado y centrifugado) quizáno sea suficiente para
suprimir totalmente el jabón. Bajo tales
circunstancias, es posible que haga falta llevar a cabo
un segundo RINSE & SPIN (aclarado y centrifugado).
