Operation
Before Washing
Prepare Wash Load
Empty Pockets and Cuffs
Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them
inside out. One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail
or sharp object in a load can catch laundry, cause
tears and plug the pump. 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
Little holes 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.
Put Small Items in Bag
Small items such as baby socks may get stuck
around the door. Put them inside a mesh garment
bag.
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.
Sorting Items
Different items use different wash cycles and
temperatures. Always follow the manufacturer’s
care label. Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few
guidelines:
1. Sort by Color:
Separate items into loads of
whites, darks, lights and non-
colorfast.
2. Sort by Fabric and Construction:
Separate items into loads of
cottons/linens, permanent press,
synthetics/blends/poly knits, and
delicates.
3. Sort by Temperature:
Separate items into loads
that can be washed in cold,
warm or hot water.
4. Sort by Type and Amount of Soil:
Heavily soiled clothes will need extra
treatment. Lightly soiled clothes can become
dingy if washed with heavily soiled items.
5. Sort Lint “Shedders” From Lint “Receivers”:
Some fabrics attract lint and should not be
washed with lint-shedding loads. Lint
shedders are cottons, terry towels, chenille
bedspreads, rugs and clothes that have been
heavily bleached.
Lint receivers are synthetics, permanent or
durable press, knits (including socks),
corduroy, and other smooth fabrics.
Pretreat
Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pretreat
product or liquid detergent when placing them in
the washer. Before washing, treat special stains
individually. Refer to Stain Removal section for
procedures on treating specific stains.

Loading the Washer
Load Articles
•Load items by the amount of space they take up,
not by their weight. Mix large and small items in a
load to get the best washing results.
•Load items loosely into the wash drum. The bulk of
the clothes rather than the weight will determine
load size.
Bulky Items
•Use the HANDWASH/DELICATE cycle for bulky
items such as blankets and comforters. The cycle
includes gentle agitation to clean items delicately
and thoroughly. The extra rinse cycle may be
selected to ensure complete removal of soap
residue. A final spin extracts the moisture at a low
speed to maintain the load’s balance and minimize
wear to the articles.
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.
Water Level
•The washer will automatically adjust the water
level to the type and size of the load during any fill.
Wash Temperature
Boosted Hot Water (on select models only)
The Boosted Hot Wash will boost the water
temperature in the tub to 140°F (60°C) and is
useful for improved cleaning of some loads. The red
HEATING light will light up when heating. The cycle
will not advance until 140°F (60°C) 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
changing the cycle selector knob to OFF and
restarting a cycle with a different water
temperature setting.
Hot Water
The Hot Wash temperature is determined by the
actual temperature of the hot water supplied to
the washer. For models with Boosted Hot Wash,
the heater element will not be on. Hot water is the
most effective for cleaning, but it is not
recommended for all fabric types (read labels).
Warm Water
The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough
cleaning on lightly soiled clothing without damaging
fabric or adding to color fading.
The Warm Rinse (select models only) is useful in
preventing wrinkles on certain fabrics. Check labels
for fabric manufacturer’s recommendations.
Do not wash or dry items soiled with
vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils may
remain after washing and may cause the
fabric to catch on fire by itself.

Cold Water
The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although
its cleaning abilities are not as great 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 money and energy.
NOTE: In wash temperatures colder than 60
o
F
(16
o
C), detergents do not dissolve well. This may
cause ineffective cleaning, or lint and residue to
form.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.
Wash Temperature Guide
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 warm or cold washes as well as
cold rinses.
2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.

If items need to be added or removed after a cycle
has started, turn the cycle selector knob to the
OFF position. Wait until the DOOR light goes off
(approximately 45 seconds after cycle has been
stopped), open door, add or remove items, and
start the cycle again.
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 unique cleaning
capabilities of the washer. They are part of the
cycle.
NOTE: There will be extended pauses when
Boosted Hot Wash, if available, is selected
because the water is being heated.
To Change Cycles
If the selected cycle is not the correct cycle for the
fabric being washed, you may change the cycle
selection at any time until the first wash fill is
complete. Once the washer has filled for the first
part of the cycle (the wash portion), the current
cycle must be aborted and a new cycle must be
started.
To change the cycle before the first fill is
complete:
Change the cycle selected on the cycle selector
knob.
To change the cycle after the first fill is complete
and before the first wash is complete:
1. Abort the current cycle by changing the cycle
selector knob to the OFF position.
2. Set the WASH/RINSE temperature selector.
3. Set cycle selector knob.
4. Turn on extra rinse, if desired.
5. Press and hold the START button for two
seconds.
To change the cycle after the first wash is
complete:
NOTE: This should only be done if the speed of the
final extract is incorrect for the fabric being
washed. For example, if washing delicate items on
the REGULAR cycle, the high speed extract may
damage the fabric. Or, if washing towels or jeans
on the DELICATE cycle, the lower speed extract
would increase drying time.
1. Abort the current cycle by changing the cycle
selector switch to the OFF position.
2. Restart the cycle from the beginning. Refer to
the To Wash Clothes section.
To Pump Out Water After Aborting Cycle
Run a SPIN ONLY cycle. This cycle will perform a high
speed extract operation that will pump all of the
water out of the washer.
Manual Soaking

Using Your Dispenser Drawer
Detergent Compartment
The detergent compartment is located on the right
side of the dispenser drawer. Refer to
compartment 1 of illustration.
Use low sudsing, high efficiency (HE) powdered or
liquid detergents that are recommended for use
with frontload washers. Powdered bleach can also
be used in the dispenser along with the detergent.
NOTE: High efficiency (HE)
detergents are designed
especially for frontload washers
to reduce oversudsing and
maximize cleaning results. Look
for the HE logo or “high efficiency” on the
detergent’s label.
NOTE: If using non-HE detergent, avoid
oversudsing by using only 1/2 of the detergent
manufacturer's 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. Refer to
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.

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 wash load. 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
Pour hot water into the dispenser drawer, making
sure it flushes through each compartment. Use a
small brush to thoroughly clean out any residue.
It is not necessary to remove the dispenser drawer
for normal maintenance. If the dispenser drawer
needs to be removed for any reason, use dispenser
drawer removal tool, Part No. 318P4, to avoid

Washing Special Items
NOTE: Always Follow Manufacturer’s Care Label
Instructions.
Bedding • Warm wash and warm rinse (if available).
• Use DELICATE 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 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. Soak before washing.
• Limit wash load to two dozen cloth diapers.
• Use an all-purpose, low-sudsing detergent.
Draperies, Curtains, Slip Covers
• Shake to remove dust. Remove hooks and close zippers.
• Sun-damaged draperies and curtains 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 dryer. They may mildew if not dried
completely.
• Use warm wash, cold rinse 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.
Shoes
• Most shoes made of cloth and rubber can be washed.
• Use the REGULAR cycle and warm water.
• Wash with towels to balance the load.
Small Items • Wash small items such as baby socks in a mesh garment bag.
Cotton Knits
• Unless the label indicates it is preshrunk, cotton knits will probably shrink to
some degree.
• Wash water should be hot or warm, suitable for color and soil.
• Rinse water should be cold.
Rayon Knits • Rayon stretches and shrinks easily. Treat as a delicate fabric and wash gently.
Synthetic Fiber Knits
• These items will generally keep their shape.
• Make sure trimmings (including belts) are machine washable, seams are not
puckered, and zippers and trimmings are well fastened.
Knits of Manufactured Fibers • Use PERMANENT PRESS cycle.
• Wash water should be warm, or suitable for color and soil.
• Rinse water should be cold.
• Do not wash with lint-shedding fabrics.

NOTE: We do not recommend starching in this washer.
Sweaters of Manufactured Fibers • Follow directions for comparable knits.
• Button sweaters and turn inside out.
• Stretch to shape after washing.
• Avoid pulling when wet.
Wool Items • Unless labeled “machine washable,” wash by hand.
Permanent Press
• Wash often. Permanent press clothes tend to look clean even when they should
be washed.
• Do not wash with lint-shedding loads.
• Pretreat grease stains and oily areas.
• Use the PERMANENT PRESS cycle, hot or warm water, cold rinse and
recommended amount of low-sudsing detergent.
• Use fabric softener in the dispenser drawer. This will reduce the static electricity
which attracts lint and makes garments cling.
