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.
Sort 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.

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 towelsshould
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 60°C (140°F) and is
useful for improved cleaning of some loads. The red
HEATING light will light up when heating. The cycle
will not advance until 60°C (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
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 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 as 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 16oC
(60oF), 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.

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 islocated 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 usedin 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. Refer to
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 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

Clothing Care
Clothing Concerns
To keep clothes looking white or bright, use good washing practices at all times to prevent a gradual build-up
of soil or water hardness minerals on them. 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 Insufficient 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
powered 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.
Clothes Tearing or Damaged Improper Use of Chlorine Bleach 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 that shed lint cannot 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.
Wrinkling Improper Sorting Heavy items like towels should not be washed with light items
like nightgowns.
Improper Cycle Make sure cycle selected is appropriate for type of clothes.
Improper Temperature Using a warm or cold wash and a cold rinse reduces wrinkling.

Maintenance
Lubrication
•All moving parts are sealed in a permanent
supply of lubricant or are equipped with oilless
bearings. Additional lubrication will not be
necessary.
•Do not lubricate the door hinge. If the hinge
makes noise, replace the hinge.
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 spray pretreat
products 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.
•The wash drum and window will need no
particular care although they may need rinsing
or wiping after an unusual load has been
washed.
•The outside of the door window can be cleaned
with household window cleaner.
•Running an occasional rinse cycle with bleach
will help to avoid a musty smell in the wash
drum.
Cleaning Glass Sealing Area
In order to assure that the door properly seals
against water leaks, the following surfaces should
be wiped off periodically:
•The outside perimeter of the door glass where
the seal contacts the glass
•The front surface of the door seal lip
Usually a mild soap solution will work. If there is an
extreme build-up of minerals from a hard water
supply, the surfaces may need to be cleaned with a
lime removal chemical.
Replacing Hoses
•Hoses and other natural parts deteriorate
after extended use. Hoses may develop
cracks, blisters or material wear from the
temperature and constant high pressure they
are subjected to.
•All hoses should be checked on a monthly
basis for any visible signs of deterioration.Any
hose showing the signs of deterioration listed
above should be replaced immediately.
•All hoses should be replaced every five years.
Filter Screens
•Check the filter screens in the fill hoses for
debris or damage annually. Clean or replace
them if necessary.
•If the washer is filling with water slower than
normal, check the filter screens. Clean or
replace them if necessary.
•Order filter screen Part No. F270300 from
the nearest authorized
parts distributor.
