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 these settings is the length of agitation in
minutes. (For example: Setting the timer on Extra
Clean will be a 15 minute agitation.)
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 agitation in
minutes. (For example: Setting the timer on Normal
will be a nine minute agitation.)
Delicate Cycle
Wash delicate items such as curtains, hosiery and
lingerie in 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 and wrinkling,
and provides for a clean wash.
There are two settings in the DELICATE cycle –
Normal and Light. The number shown next to the
setting is the length of time in minutes. (For
example: Setting the timer on Normal will be nine
minutes, including short periods of agitation and
long periods of soaking.)
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
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. 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.
Cold rinses will save you
money and energy and will
help reduce wrinkling in
permanent press and
synthetics.
The Energy Saver settings, marked with an
asterisk (*), 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 flooding of the washer.
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.
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.

3. Add clothes loosely into
the washtub.

4. Close the loading
door. The washer
will not agitate or
spin with the
loading door open.
W318IE0C
To reduce the risk of serious injury, do
not by-pass the loading door switch by
permitting the washer to agitate or spin
with the loading door open.

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 turning
it clockwise to the setting desired. Pull timer knob
out to start the washer.
Soaking
Set the timer knob in the center of the word
“RINSE” (this prevents the washer from spinning
without first filling with water). Place the soaking
product and clothes load in 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 END OF THE RINSE SETTING,
then pull the timer knob out to start the spin.
Failure to turn the timer knob to the
spin cycle and completely draining the
washtub after soaking will result in the
washer overflowing and causing
property damage.
