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 two settings in the REGULAR cycle —
Normal and Light. The number shown next to these
settings is the length of agitation in minutes. (For
example: Setting the timer on Normal will be a
15 minute agitation.)
PERMANENT PRESS/KNITS Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The
wash time selection will depend upon the type of
fabric and amount of soil.
The PERMANENT PRESS/KNITS cycle
automatically cools the temperature of the fibres
before the spin. After the wash, the agitation stops,
the washtub spins slowly, partially drains and then
stops. Cold water will then be automatically added
to the washtub until the proper water level is
reached. This happens one or two times, depending
on the size of the load and type of drain connection.
When the COOL DOWN is complete, the washer
will pause shortly before continuing the cycle.
There are two settings in the PERMANENT
PRESS/KNITS cycle — Normal and Light. The
number shown next to these settings is the length of
agitation in minutes. (For example: Setting the
timer on Normal will be a nine minute agitation.)
DELICATES/WOOLLENS Cycle
Wash delicate items usually washed by hand and
machine washable woollens on this cycle. A full tub
of water is recommended (even for small loads) to
allow the delicate items to move freely through the
water. More water helps reduce fabric wear,
wrinkling, and provides for a clean wash.
There are two settings in the DELICATES/
WOOLLENS cycle — Normal and Light. The
number shown next to these settings is the length of
time in minutes. (For example: Setting the timer on
Normal will be eight minutes, including short
periods of agitation and long periods of soaking.)
IMPORTANT: Before using your washer to Soak
or use an Additional Rinse, refer to the following
pages for proper instructions.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, serious injury or death to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS in the Use and Care
Guide before operating your washer.

To Wash Clothes
IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer,
make sure the washer cord is plugged into a
240 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 inserted into a drain and is
not kinked. See 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.
5. Set WASH/RINSE temperatures.
NOTE: The washer will
provide a cold rinse in
all TEMPERATURE
settings except in
positions marked HOT
wash WARM rinse or
WARM wash WARM
rinse. DO NOT use a
warm rinse with
permanent press or
other synthetic fabrics. A warm rinse can cause
wrinkling in some garments. Cold rinses will
save you money and energy and will help reduce
wrinkling in permanent press and synthetics.
The ENERGY SAVER settings, marked with a
dot (•), show which temperature settings will
use the least energy.
6. Set LOAD SIZE
(WATER LEVEL)
control. Use RESET if
agitation has started
and more water is
needed.
IMPORTANT: Holding the LOAD SIZE
(WATER LEVEL) control in the RESET
position can cause the washer to flood.
7. 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.
8. Pull the timer knob out to start the water fill.
Agitation will begin when the water reaches
the level you selected.
NOTE: Loading door must be closed for
agitation to begin.
The washer will stop (pause) shortly before
the wash and rinse spins. Do not turn the timer
through these pauses. They are part of the
cycle.
2. Measure and add
detergent to the
washtub.

Additional Rinsing
If additional rinsing is required, set the timer knob
on the RINSE/FILL portion of the Normal setting
of the REGULAR cycle. After the fill is completed
and agitation has started, push the timer knob in.
This will stop the washer. To complete the rinsing,
TURN THE TIMER KNOB TO THE
RINSE/AGITATE PORTION OF THE RINSE
SETTING OF THE REGULAR CYCLE. Pull the
timer knob out to start agitation and complete the
remainder of the cycle.
NOTE: Make sure the washer begins to agitate
when the timer knob is pulled out to assure that
the washer does not begin to fill again. If washer
does not agitate, push timer knob in and move
indicator farther into the Rinse setting.
See arrows below for proper RINSE/FILL and
RINSE/AGITATE positions.
Soaking
Set the timer knob on the SOAK/FILL portion of
the Normal setting of the REGULAR cycle. Place
the soaking product and clothes load into the
washtub. Pull timer knob to start washer fill. After
fill is completed and agitation has started, push the
timer knob in. This will stop the washer. When the
clothes have soaked the desired length of time,
TURN THE TIMER KNOB TO THE SOAK/SPIN
PORTION AT THE END OF THE RINSE
SETTING OF THE REGULAR CYCLE to allow
the washer to properly drain and spin. See arrows in
illustration below for proper SOAK/FILL and
SOAK/RINSE positions.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the Rinse setting to fill
the washer for soaking.
CAUTION: Failure to turn the timer knob to the
spin cycle and completely drain the washtub
after soaking will result in the washer
overflowing and cause property damage.
