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.

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.

To Wash Clothes
IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer, make sure
the washer cord is connected to an appropriate electrical
outlet that is properly installed and connected to a pro-
tective earth/ground. 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. Refer to the INSTAL-
LATION INSTRUCTIONS for details of proper washer in-
stallation.
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 wash drum.
1. Get the clothes ready for washing. Empty pockets and cuffs.
Sort items into separate loads. Pretreat stains and heavily
soiled areas.
TLW1991N_SVG
IMPORTANT: Remove all sharp objects from laundry
to avoid tears and rips to items during normal ma-
chine operation.
2. Measure and add low sudsing, high efficiency (HE) detergent,
fabric softener and bleach to the dispenser drawer. Refer to
section on Using Your Dispenser Drawer. Follow instructions on

NOTE: If water needs to be removed before opening
the door, run a Spin cycle to pump water out of the
washer.
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.

Cycle Operation
The cycles of your washer include several different stages. Refer to
the table below for what can be expected during the cycles that you
select.
The washer operates by gently tumbling the clothing through the
water. The wash action consists of a period of tumbling in one direc-
tion, a brief pause, and then a reverse tumble in the opposite direc-
tion. The pauses are part of the tumble action and add to the
unique cleaning capabilities of the washer. They are part of the cy-
cle.
The wash and rinse spins utilize a “ramp spin” action. The wash drum
starts rotating clockwise at a low speed and then gradually spins
up to higher speeds to efficiently extract water.
The cycle stages are dependent on the cycle, selections and op-
tions chosen.
The times listed are approximate and will vary depending on the se-
lections and options chosen.
NOTE: The rinse water temperature will be cold, includ-
ing when optional rinses are selected.
NOTE: If No Spin is selected, all spin stages are one mi-
nute of drain and tumble.

Figure 1
Detergent Compartments
The detergent compartments are located on the right side of the
dispenser drawer. The front compartment is for detergent used in
the main wash. Refer to compartment 1 of illustration. If a prewash
is selected, liquid wash detergent added to the main wash com-
partment may run into the load during the prewash. To avoid this,
use powdered detergent in the main wash compartment when se-
lecting a prewash. The rear compartment can be filled with deter-
gent for the pre-wash if one is selected on the control panel. Refer
to compartment 4 of the 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 es-
pecially 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 recom-
mended amount.
IMPORTANT: If using single-load laundry detergent pods
or 3-in-1 laundry sheets, DO NOT place them in the dis-
penser drawer. Place them directly in the wash drum
with clothes.
When adding detergent, use only the recommended amount. Do not
fill the compartment over the maximum level indicated on the draw-
er. Adding too much detergent or using regular sudsing detergent
could result in an oversudsing condition, which would require addi-
tional 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 de-
tergent compartment only and can be added along with the deter-
gent.
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 compart-
ment 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 drawer. 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 soft-
ener 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 stage of
the cycle.
Carefully close dispenser drawer. Do not allow softener to spill into
other compartments.
