IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
1. Read all instructions before using the washer.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the washer.
3. Do not wash articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
flammableorexplosivesubstancesastheygiveoff
vapors that could ignite or explode.
4. 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.
5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two 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 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. The gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children. This is a safety
rule for all appliances.
7. Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum is
moving.
9. Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather.
10. Do not tamper with the controls.
11. Donotrepairorreplaceanypartof thewasher, or
attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the User-Maintenance
instructions or in published User-Repair
instructions that you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
12. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO
NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to
connect the washer to the electrical power source.
13. Use your washer only for its intended purpose,
washing clothes.
14. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical
supply before attempting any service. Disconnect
the power cordby grasping the plug, not the cord.
15. Install the washer according to the
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All
connections for water, drain, electrical powerand
grounding must comply with local codes and be
made by licensed personnel when required. Do
not do it yourself unless you know how!
16. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes which have
traces of any flammable substances such as
vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, flammable
chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything containing
wax or chemicals such as in mops and cleaning
cloths, must not be put into the washer. These
flammable substances may cause the fabric to
catch on fire by itself.
17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
18. Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or
dropping the washer can damage safety features.
If this occurs, have your washer checked by a
qualified service person.
19. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.
20. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve
and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE
the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.
21. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the
washer is to fill, tumble or spin. DO NOT
by-pass the loading door switch by permitting the
washer to operate with the loading door open.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death to persons when
using your washer, follow these basic
precautions:

Before Washing . . .
Prepare Wash Load
Empty Pockets and Cuffs
Makesure all pocketsare emptyand turnthem inside out.
One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail or sharp object
in a load can catch laundry and cause tears. Facial tissue
left in a pocket will produce extreme “lint.” A crayon or
lipstick in a wash load may cause stains that cannot be
removed. Roll down cuffs and shake out grass, sand, and
gravel.
Mend Rips and Tears
Littleholes can become bigger in the washer. Mend holes
and tears before placing garments in the washer.
Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks
These can catch on garments in a wash load and tear
them. Tie belts and sashes so they won’t wind around
clothes.
Check For Colorfastness
Squeeze a portion of garment in warm or hot sudsy water.
If the color bleeds or runs, wash the item separately in
cold water.
Sort
Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few guidelines:
1. Sort by Color
2. Sort by Fabric and Construction
3. Sort by Care Label
4. Sort By Type and Amount of Soil
Children’s play clothes, as well as work clothes, will
need extra treatment. Lightly soiled clothes can
become dingy if washed with heavily soiled items.

Pretreat
Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pre-wash product or
liquiddetergent when placing them in the washer. Before
washing, treat special stains with bar soap, liquid
detergent or a paste of water and granular detergent. Use
a pretreat soil and stain remover.
Load Articles
Load items by the amount of space they take up, not by
theirweight.Mixlargeandsmall itemsinaload togetthe
best washing results.
Load items loosely into the wash drum. The bulk of the
clothes rather than the weight will determine load size.
Load Sizes
Load sizes vary. Small and large items should be washed
together to create a balanced load. If washing a large
item, two bath towels should be added to even the load.
Smaller loads can create an unbalanced condition and
cause premature wear on the washer. Do not hesitate to
fill the entire inner drum of the washer. The load will
compress a great deal when wet. This allows room for
proper tumbling.

8685981
Water . . .
Water Level
The washer will automatically adjust the water level to
the type and size of the load during any fill.
Water Hardness
Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon (G.P.G.)
or parts per million (P.P.M.). To learn your water
hardness, call your Water Department or State Extension
Service. Hard water will not remove soil as well as soft
waterand can result in gray, dingy laundry. To get clothes
clean in hard water, use more detergent but avoid
oversudsing. Do not use soap.
Hard Water May Be Softened By:
1. A mechanical water softener installed in your home.
2. The use of a packaged water conditioner.
Soft Water
Water should be soft enough to allow soaps and
detergents to remove soil effectively. Clothes will be
whiter and brighter when washed and rinsed in soft water.
Iron
If iron is present in the water, the clothes may become an
all-over yellow or they may be stained with brown or
orange spots or streaks. Iron is not always visible in the
water.
Solutions to Iron Problems
The installation of a water softener will remove small
amountsofiron fromthe watersupply. The installationof
an iron filter may be necessary for more severe cases. If
the iron comes from the pipes, it may be sufficient just to
let the water run into the empty washer for about one
minute. This may help to clear the pipes. Spin this water
out of the wash drum before starting the wash.
If iron comes from the water heater, drain the heater
occasionally to remove the rust.
Iron With Chlorine Bleach
The use of chlorine bleach with water that contains iron
will make the rust discoloration worse. Use an “all
fabric” bleach.
Energy
You can save energy when washing by following a few
guidelines:
1. Heating water accounts for the greatest energy
expense when washing. Save on heating water by
using cold rinses.
2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.
3. Soak heavily soiled items to reduce wash times.
4. Select a shorter wash time for lightly soiled items.

Laundry Tips . . .
Laundry Aids Use Comments
Pretreat
Products • Use a pretreating agent and soak overnight to remove
stains and soils.
• Always follow manufacturer’s instructions with any
pretreatment product.
• Do not use a pretreating agent with
chlorine bleach.
• Do not use pretreaters around the
washer or dryer control panel. They
may harm the finish or panel
markings.
Detergents/Soaps • Use low sudsing detergent (recommended for high
efficiency or front loading washers) in your washer.
• When using detergents made for topload washers, use
1/3 of the recommended amount to prevent over
sudsing. Using these detergents may decrease cleaning
performance.
• Soap and powdered detergents will
notgive goodwashingresultsinhard
water. Soap in hard water will form
sticky deposits.
• We do not recommend the use of
powderedsoapwhenwashingin cold
water.
Bleaches • Use to remove certain stains, disinfect, and keep
clothes white.
• Do not use powdered bleach in the bleach dispenser
compartments. Powdered bleach can be used in the
detergent compartment only.
• Use liquid bleach in the proper dispenser compartment
only. Do not add bleach to the washload.
• Follow directions on care label of garment.
• Do not use bleach as a substitute for detergent.
• Always measure the bleach. Never
exceed maximum level on bleach
dispenser.
• Never use chlorine bleach and
ammonia in the same wash cycle.
• Add powdered bleach along with the
detergent.
Fabric Softeners • Use to soften clothes and remove static electricity from
permanent press knits and other fabrics of
manufactured fibers.
• Add to the fabric softener dispenser compartment.
Follow bottle directions carefully.
• Do not add fabric softener directly to
load. Use fabric softener dispenser.
• Do not mix with detergent or bleach.
• Do not fill past maximum level on
dispenser compartment.
Water
Conditioners
Non-Precipitating
Type • These products soften water by tying up the hardness minerals and are recommended if using soap when
water is over three grains hard.
Precipitating Type • These products settle out hardness minerals by
converting them into particles that will not dissolve in
the water.
• Use water conditioner when
necessary.

Special Care . . .
Starching
We do not recommend starching in this washer.
Knits
A variety ofknits are usedfor many types of clothing and
household furnishings. Many knits are machine
washable, some are hand washable, and some must be
dry-cleaned. When buying, make sure the garment has a
care label with care instructions. These directions must
be followed. Some knits are stretched during their
manufacture and may shrink or relax when exposed to
water.
Cotton Knits
Unless the label indicates that it ispreshrunk, cotton knits
will probably shrink to some degree. Overdrying
contributes to shrinkage of cotton knits. Wash water
should be hot or warm, suitable for color and soil. The
rinse water should be cold.
Rayon Knits
Rayon stretches and shrinks easily. Treat as a delicate
fabric and wash gently.
Synthetic Fiber Knits
Knits made from synthetic fibers or blends containing a
high percentage of synthetics will generally keep their
shape.When buying, make sure the trimmings (including
belts)aremachinewashable, seamsare notpuckered, and
zippers and trimmings are well fastened.
Knits of Manufactured Fibers
In general, follow the rules for permanent press fabrics as
they tend to have the same characteristics. Set machine to
PERMANENT PRESS cycle. Set the wash water warm,
or suitable for color and soil. Rinse water should be cold.
Do not wash with lint-shedding fabrics. Separate items
for color, washing whites separately.
Sweaters of Manufactured Fibers
Follow directions for comparable knits. Button sweaters
and turn inside out. The ribbon behind the buttons and
button holes may shrink. Stretch to shape after washing.
Orlon sweaters may stretch. Avoid pulling them when
wet. Dry items in dryer.
Wool Sweaters
Loosely knit or delicately constructed sweaters will need
delicate care. Hand wash. Measure garment before and
after washing. Squeeze gently through the water with
little motion. Rinse thoroughly. Block to shape and dry
flat.
For sweaters labeled “machine washable,” follow
manufacturer’s directions. Dry flat. Excess tumbling is
the main cause of wool shrinkage.
Wool Knits
Dry-clean wool knits unless labeled machine washable.
Follow manufacturer’s directions.
Permanent Press
Permanent or durable press garments and household
items will usually not need pressing when washed and
dried properly. However, some will be more wrinkle
resistant than others.
The care needed for permanent press is a little different
than for cottons. Permanent press garments will soften or
become pliable when heated. This softening in warm or
hot wash water will allow wear wrinkles to be removed.
This will also cause the fabric to wrinkle if it is crushed,
squeezed or spun when hot.
Permanent press cycles of washers, when washer controls
areproperlyset, willcooltheclothesbeforethewashspin
to avoid wrinkling. Because the clothes soften when
heated, it is important to remove them from the washer as
soon as tumbling stops.
How To Wash Permanent Press
1. Sort loads correctly. Refer to Before Washing
section.
2. Do not wash with lint-shedding loads. Permanent
press attracts lint in the wash water.
3. Pre-treat grease stains and oily areas. This is
especially important for shirt collars and cuffs. Rub
liquid detergent or a paste of detergent into the area.
4. Use the PERMANENT PRESS cycle, hot or warm
water, cold rinse, and sufficient detergent.
5. Use fabric softener in the dispenser. This will reduce
the static electricity which attracts lint and makes
garments cling.
To Dry Permanent Press
For best results, permanent press should be dried in the
dryer. See garment care labels. Ironing may be necessary.
Use low heat setting on iron or steam setting on a steam
iron.

Washing Special Items . . .
Always Follow Manufacturer’s Care Label Instructions
Common Washer Sounds . . .
Bedding • Warm wash and warm rinse.
• PERMANENT PRESS cycle.
• Pretreat heavily soiled areas before washing.
• When washing an electric blanket, protect the plug by stitching the edge of the
blanket over the plug. Only dry in the dryer if manufacturer says it can be done.
Diapers • Rinse out diapers immediately in cold water and soak in a diaper pail with a small
amount of detergent or enzyme presoak.
• Limit wash load to two dozen cloth baby diapers.
• Recommend an all-purpose, low-sudsing detergent.
Draperies, Curtains, Slip
Covers • Shake to remove dust. Remove hooks and close zippers.
• Do not wash sun-damaged draperies and curtains. They will not withstand
washing.
• Use warm water.
• Wash curtains frequently. They can be weakened from soil, fumes, dust and the
sun.
• Fiberglass curtains need gentle care. Read care label to see if washable. Some
fiberglass curtains should be hand washed.
Pillows (Feather and Down) • Do not wash pillows unless they can be dried in the dryer. They may mildew if not
dried completely.
• Use warm wash and low-sudsing detergent.
Rugs • Shake before washing. Do not use hot water on rubber-backed rugs.
• Wash two or three rugs to balance the washer.
Slips and Nightgowns • Wash often using all-purpose detergent, warm or hot water and cold rinse on the
PERMANENT PRESS cycle.
• To keep nylons and polyesters white, wash only with whites and use chlorine
bleach occasionally.
• Use fabric softener to remove static electricity.
Sounds Cause
Accelerating This sound is heard during the spin portion of every cycle.
Tapping These sharp sounds may come from metal fasteners, zippers, belt buckles or coins
hitting the wash drum or door glass.
Thumping Washer may be out of balance. Washer is designed to balance the load.If the washer
is severely unbalanced, pull timer knob out to stop washer and redistribute the load.
Rumbling Washer may not be level. Stop washer and adjust leveling legs. See
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for details.

12 685981
Washing Concerns . . .
To keep clothes looking white or bright and to prevent a gradual build-up of soil or water hardness minerals on them,
use proper washing practices at all times. If you notice that your clothes are not as bright as they should be, take
corrective measures immediately.
Problem Cause Solution
Gray or Dingy
Clothes Too Little or Too Much
Detergent Add recommended amount of low-sudsing detergent to dispenser drawer before loading clothes. Mild detergents
are not suitable for average soil.
Improper Sorting Wash whites separately. Separate light from heavily soiled
items. Clothes can pick up soil from dirty wash water.
Water Not Hot Enough White clothes will stay whiter with hot wash water.
Increase temperature.
Yellowed Clothes Unremoved Soil Skin soil is hard to remove. Check hem edge of sheets and
pillowcases, bottom end of t-shirts, etc. If this portion is
white and center is yellow, the fabric contains unremoved
soil. Use sufficient detergent and a hot wash. Chlorine
bleach or powdered bleach may be needed.
Clothes Stained From Iron In
The Water To test for an iron stain, use a rust remover that is recommended for use with washing machines on a portion
of the garment. Follow bottle directions for larger items.
Older Clothes Some white fabrics turn yellow with age and cannot be
whitened.
ClothesTearingor
Damaged Improper Use of Chlorine No correction for bleach damaged clothes. Always keep
level at or below maximum in bleach dispenser
compartment.
Insufficient Precare Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend tears. Remove objects
from pockets.
Excessive Lint Improper Sorting Fabrics which shed lint should not be washed with fabrics
that receive lint.
Insufficient Detergent Use enough detergent so lint remains suspended in water
and flushed out. Do not oversuds the water.
Mixing Fabric Types Knits and permanent press attract lint. Wash these only
with similar items. Use fabric softener in dispenser drawer.

685981 13
Stain Removal . . .
Many soils will not become stains if treated promptly. Older stains may be difficult or impossible to remove. Hot water
will set some stains, particularly protein based stains. Use cold or warm water on these before washing in hot water.
Never put highly flammable substances like gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, dry-cleaning
solvents, etc. into a washer or dryer. Never put articles that have been cleaned with such
substances into a washer or dryer. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in a fire,
explosion, and/or serious burns or death. All items with these substances on them should be
thoroughly hand-washed with a detergent so that no trace of the flammable substances remains.
The articles can then be machine washed and/or dried.
When using any kind of a dry-cleaning fluid, follow the manufacturer's recommendations. The
fumes should never be inhaled. Use in a well ventilated room away from sparks and flames. Air dry
before washing or drying. Dry-cleaning fluid may cause a “ring” to be formed on some permanent
press fabrics. This will not wash out. To remove, clean the garment in a coin-operated dry-cleaning
unit, or by a professional dry-cleaner. W024E

Maintenance . . .
Cold Weather Care
If the washer is delivered on a cold day (below freezing),
or is stored in an unheated room or area during the cold
months, do not attempt to operate it until the washer has
had a chance to warm up.
Care Of Your Washer
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control
panel. Some cleaning product sprays may harm the finish
on the control panel or damage the interior of the hood.
Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach
or other washing products are spilled on the cabinet, wipe
immediately. Some products will cause permanent
damage if spilled on the cabinet.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
Do not lay sharp or rough objects on or against the
washer. The finish could be damaged.
The wash drum and window will need no particular care
although they may need rinsing or wiping after an
unusual load has been washed. Outside of window can be
cleaned with household window cleaner.
NOTE: Leave the loading door open to allow the
inside of the washer to dry out after use. This helps
preventmusty odorsfrom developing. DO NOT allow
small children to play on or around the washer.
Vacations and Extended
Non-Use
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible property damage
due to flooding, turn off the water supply to the
washer whenever there will be an extended period of
non-use.
