T-shirts, etc. This cycle includes a wash tumble for
nine minutes. The cycle has two rinses with an
optional third rinse. The final spin starts with a two-
minute medium spin and finishes with a three-minute
high spin. The total cycle time is approximately
29 minutes without the extra rinse.
PERMANENT PRESS Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics. This
cycle includes a wash tumble of seven minutes. The
cycle has two rinses with an optional third rinse. The
final spin starts with a three-minute medium spin and

time is approximately 27 minutes without the extra
rinse.
DELICATE Cycle
Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on this
cycle. The cycle includes a wash tumble of five
minutes. The cycle has two rinses with an optional
third rinse. The final spin extracts moisture at a low
spin for four minutes. The total cycle time is
approximately 23 minutes without the extra rinse.
RINSE & SPIN Cycle
Use to quickly rinse items. The rinse is followed by a
high spin. The total cycle time is approximately
12 minutes.
SPIN ONLY Cycle

the high spin. The total cycle time is approximately
10 minutes.
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.

2. Measure and add low sudsing detergent, fabric
softener, and bleach to the dispenser drawer.
Refer to section on Using Your Dispenser
Drawer.
IMPORTANT: If using detergents made for
topload washers, avoid oversudsing by using only
1/4 cup regular detergent (1/2 of the recommended
amount).
3. Load clothes into wash drum. Refer to section on
Load Sizes in your Use and Care Guide.
4. Close the loading door tightly. The washer will
not operate with the loading door open.
5. Set WASH/RINSE temperatures.
There are four WASH/RINSE temperatures available –
Hot Wash/Cold Rinse, Warm Wash/Warm Rinse,
Warm Wash/Cold Rinse, and Cold Wash/Cold Rinse.
Refer to the Available Water Temperatures section
for the temperature that works best for your garments.
6. Select EXTRA RINSE if desired.
The extra rinse control is useful for detergent
sensitive skin. By pressing the EXTRA RINSE to
ON, the REGULAR, PERMANENT PRESS,
and DELICATE cycles will each provide an
additional rinse. If the extra rinse is desired, press
the switch to ON. When the extra rinse is not
wanted, OFF should be selected.

7. Select the cycle according to the type of fabric
being washed. Use the indicator dot on the knob
as a guide.
8. Press and hold the START button for two seconds
to start the washer. The DOOR 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, 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 uniqueness of the washer.
They are part of the cycle.
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.
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 knob to the OFF position.
2. Restart the cycle from the beginning. Refer to the
To Was h C lothes 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.
DOOR Light
When the washer is started, the DOOR light will come
on after a short delay. The light will turn off
approximately 45 seconds after the cycle is complete.
WASH Light
This light comes on during the wash part of each
cycle.
RINSE Light
This light comes on for the rinse portion of each cycle.
FINAL SPIN Light
This light comes on while the wash load is in the final
spin of the cycle.
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 run a RINSE & SPIN cycle.
If the condition persists, consider steps discussed in
the Before Washing section of the Use and Care
Guide.

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 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.

Available Water Temperatures
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: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.
