NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care
labels.
Determine Proper Cycle
Regular Cycle
Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes,
towels, T-shirts, etc. The wash time selection will
depend on the type of fabric and the amount of soil.
For the best results when cleaning heavily soiled
items, use a longer wash time (15 minutes
maximum). Lightly soiled items require less wash
time. There are three settings in the REGULAR
cycle — Extra Clean, Normal and Light. The
number shown next to the settings is the length of
tumbling in minutes. (For example: Setting the
timer on Extra Clean will be a 15 minute tumble,
including pauses.)
Permanent Press Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The
wash time selection will depend upon the type of
fabric and amount of soil. There are two settings in
the PERMANENT PRESS cycle — Normal and
Light. The number shown next to these settings is
the length of tumbling in minutes. (For example:
Setting the timer on Normal will be a nine minute
tumble, including pauses.)
Delicate Cycle
Wash delicate items usually washed before by hand
on this cycle. There are two settings in the
DELICATE cycle — Normal and Light. The
number shown next to these settings is the length of
tumbling in minutes. (For example: Setting the
timer on Normal will be a seven minute tumble,
including pauses.)
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death to persons, read
the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS in the Use and Care

To Wash Clothes
IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer,
make sure the washer cord is plugged into a
120 Volt electrical outlet that has the proper
grounding and polarity. 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 INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS for details of proper washer
installation.
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 washtub.
IMPORTANT: Remove all sharp objects from
laundry to avoid tears and rips to items during
normal machine operation.
1. Get the clothes ready for
washing. Empty pockets
and cuffs. Sort items into
separate loads. Pretreat
stains and heavily soiled
areas.
IMPORTANT: If using detergents made for
topload washers, avoid oversudsing by using
1/4 cup regular detergent (1/2 of the
recommended amount).
5. Set WASH/RINSE temperatures.
There are four WASH/RINSE temperatures
available —Hot Wash/Cold Rinse, Warm
Wash/Cold Rinse, Warm Wash/Warm Rinse,
and Cold Wash/Cold Rinse.
Refer to the chart on the following page for the
temperature that works best for your garments.
The Hot Wash temperature is determined by
the actual temperature of the hot water
supplied to the washer. Hot water is the most
effective for cleaning, but it is not
recommended for all fabric types (read labels).
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.
The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items.
Although its cleaning abilities are not as great
as 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: The Energy Saver settings, marked with
an asterisk (*), show which temperature settings
will use the least energy.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care
labels.
2. Measure and add low
sudsing detergent,
fabric softener, and
bleach to the
dispenser drawer.
Refer to section on
Using Your
Dispenser Drawer.

drum. Refer to
section on
Load Sizes in
your Use and
Care Guide.

loading door
open.

6. Select the cycle according to the type of fabric
being washed. Push the timer knob in and turn
clockwise to the desired cycle and wash time.
Use the indicator dot on the knob as a guide.
7. Pull the timer knob out to start the washer. The
“DOOR LOCKED”light will come on after a
short delay, water fill will begin, and wash
drum will begin tumbling.
NOTE: Washer door MUST be closed tightly to
start washer.
If items need to be added or removed after a cycle
has started, push the timer knob in, wait
approximately 45 seconds for “DOOR LOCKED”
light to go out, open door, add or remove items,
adjust the timer knob (if desired) and pull timer
knob out.
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 uniqueness of the
washer. Do not attempt to turn the timer through
these pauses. They are part of the cycle.
Timer
Although the washer cycles are automatic, the timer
may be reset to lengthen, shorten or repeat a portion
of a cycle.
To set or reset the timer, push timer knob in to stop
the washer. Hold timer knob in firmly while slowly
turning it clockwise to the setting desired. Pull
timer knob out to start the washer.
“DOOR LOCKED” Light
When the washer is started, the “DOOR LOCKED”
light will come on after a short delay. The light will
turn off 10 to 30 seconds after the cycle is complete.
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.
If this condition occurs, redistribute the load
manually and repeat the cycle beginning at the last
rinse.
If the condition persists, consider the steps
discussed in the Before Washing section of your
Use and Care Guide.

Detergent Compartment
The detergent compartment is located on the right
side of the dispenser drawer. Refer to compartment
1 of illustration.
Use low sudsing powdered or liquid detergents that
are recommended for use with high efficiency or
front loading washers. Powdered bleach can also be
used in the dispenser along with the detergent.
NOTE: If using detergents made for topload
washers, avoid oversudsing by using 1/2 of the
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.
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 washload. 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
Remove the dispenser drawer from the washer by
firmly pulling the drawer straight out, past the stop
position. Rinse dispenser drawer in hot water. A
small brush may be used to thoroughly clean out
any residue. After cleaning, reinstall the dispenser
drawer.
From time to time, water may be discovered in the
dispenser drawer. This condition is normal. To
remove the water, simply remove the dispenser
drawer and pour out the water.
