Important Safety Instructions
Save These Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury
or death to persons when using your washer, follow
these basic precautions:
W023
• Read all instructions before using the washer.
• Install the washer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUC-
TIONS. Refer to the EARTH/GROUND INSTRUCTIONS in the IN-
STALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connection of
the washer. All connections for water, drain, electrical power and
earth/ground must comply with local codes and be made by li-
censed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to
water and/or weather.
• Do not add the following substances or textiles containing
traces of the following substances to the wash water: gasoline,
kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils, dry-
cleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners or other flam-
mable or explosive substances. These substances give off va-
pors that could ignite, explode or cause the fabric to catch on
fire by itself.
• 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 ma-
chine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water fau-
cets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This
will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. THE GAS IS FLAM-
MABLE, DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN OPEN FLAME DURING
THIS TIME.
• To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO NOT use an ex-
tension cord or an adapter to connect the washer to the elec-
trical power source.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervi-
sion of children is necessary when the washer is used near chil-
dren. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety. This is a safety rule for
all appliances.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
• Children less than three years should be kept away unless con-
tinuously supervised.

• Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or agitator, if appli-
cable, is moving.
• Never operate the washer with any guards, panels and/or parts
removed or broken. DO NOT tamper with the controls or bypass
any safety devices.
• DO NOT operate individual units if they have been separated
from a stack unit.
• Use your washer only for its intended purpose, washing clothes.
Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the gar-
ment manufacturer.
• Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on pack-
ages of laundry and cleaning aids. To reduce the risk of poison-
ing or chemical burns, keep them out of the reach of children at
all times (preferably in a locked cabinet). Heed all warnings or
precautions.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static un-
less recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener
or product.
• Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is to fill,
tumble or spin. DO NOT bypass the loading door switch by per-
miing the washer to operate with the loading door open.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or aempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-mainte-
nance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to carry out. ALWAYS dis-
connect the washer from electrical supply before aempting
any service.
• Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord. If
the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove
the lid or door to the washing compartment.
• Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this washer accord-
ing to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions
which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.
NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT SAFETY IN-
STRUCTIONS appearing in this manual are not meant to
cover all possible conditions and situations that may oc-
cur. Observe and be aware of other labels and precau-
tions that are located on the machine. They are intended
to provide instruction for safe use of the machine. Com-
mon sense, caution and care must be exercised when in-
stalling, maintaining, or operating the washer.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the manu-
facturer about any problems or conditions you do not understand.

Operation
Before Washing
Prepare Wash Load
Empty Pockets and Cuffs
Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside out. One bob-
by 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 pock-
et 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.
TLW1990N_SVG
Mend Rips and Tears
Lile 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. Al-
ways follow the manufacturer’s care label.
TLW1991N_SVG
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
coons/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 at-
tract lint and should not be washed with lint-shedding loads.
Lint shedders are coons, 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.
WARNING
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.

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 wash-
ing 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 BULKY cycle for bulky items such as blankets and com-
forters. The cycle includes gentle agitation to clean items deli-
cately and thoroughly. The Second Rinse Option may be selec-
ted to ensure complete removal of soap residue. A final spin ex-
tracts the moisture at a lower speed to maintain the load’s bal-
ance and minimize wear to the articles.
Load Sizes
• Load sizes vary. Small and large items should be washed to-
gether 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
Hot
Hot water is the most effective for cleaning, but it is not recom-
mended for all fabric types (read labels).
Warm
The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough cleaning on light
and moderately soiled clothing without damaging fabric or adding
to color fading. Warm water also reduces wrinkling. Use with non-
colorfast or dark colors, permanent press, silks, woolens, nylon, and
acrylic.
Cool
The Cool Wash temperature is useful for washing permanent press
fabrics.
Cold
The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although its cleaning abili-
ties are not as great as with hot or warm water, it is useful for col-
ors that bleed easily and for sensitive fabrics.
All rinses use cold water. It 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°F [16°C],
detergents do not dissolve well. This may cause ineffec-
tive cleaning, or lint and residue to form.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.

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.
2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.
3. Use Soak option for heavily soiled items to reduce the need for
higher soil level selections.
