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
licensed 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
extension cord or an adapter to connect the washer to the
electrical 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 (includ-
ing children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabili-
ties, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appli-
ance 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 ap-
plicable, 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.
Safety Information
Part No. 804648R3 ©Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC - DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT 5

• 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-
mitting 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 attempt 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 attempting
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, re-
move 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. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised
when installing, maintaining, or operating the washer.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the man-
ufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not under-
stand.

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
Little 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
cottons/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 cottons, 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.
W527
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
washing 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.
Operation
Part No. 804648R3 ©Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC - DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT 7

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.

Energy
You can save energy when washing by following a few guidelines:
1. Heating water accounts for the greatest energy expense when
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
detergent package for amount to use.
FLW2308N_svg
NOTE: High efficiency (HE) detergents are designed
especially for frontload washers to reduce oversuds-
ing and maximize cleaning results. Look for the HE
logo or “high efficiency” on the detergent’s label.
IMPORTANT: If using non-HE detergent, avoid over-
sudsing by using only 1/2 of the detergent manufac-
turer's recommended amount.
3. Load clothes into wash drum (21 pounds [9.5 kg] maximum dry
clothes load). Refer to section on Load Sizes.
NOTE: Small items such as baby socks may get
caught around the door. Place these articles inside a
mesh garment bag.
FLW2309N_SVG
4. Close the loading door tightly. The washer will not operate with
the loading door open.

The door lock light will flash while the door re-locks.
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
SPIN cycle.
If the condition persists, consider steps discussed in the Before
Washing section.

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 di-
rection, a brief pause, and then a reverse tumble in the opposite di-
rection. 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.

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 pre-
wash is selected, liquid wash detergent added to the main wash
compartment may run into the load during the prewash. To avoid
this, use powdered detergent in the main wash compartment when
selecting 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.
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.
To Remove the Dispenser Drawer
Pull the drawer out until it stops. Then press the tab under the
drawer to release and remove it.
To Clean the Dispenser
Pour hot water into the dispenser drawer, making sure it flushes
through each compartment. Use a small brush to thoroughly clean
out any residue.

Clothing Care
Clothing Concerns
To keep clothes looking white or bright, use good washing practices
at all times to prevent a gradual build-up of soil or water hardness
minerals on them. If you notice that your clothes are not as bright
as they should be, take corrective measures immediately.
Problem Cause Solution
Gray or Dingy Clothes Insufficient Detergent Add recommended amount of low-sudsing
detergent to dispenser drawer before
loading clothes.
Mild detergents are not suitable for aver-
age soil.
Improper Sorting Wash whites separately. Separate light
from heavily soiled items. Clothes can pick
up soil from dirty wash water.
Nonphosphate Detergent and Hard Water Follow package directions. Soften water if
possible.
Water Not Hot Enough White clothes will stay whiter with hot
wash water. Increase temperature.
Yellowed Clothes Unremoved Soil Skin soil is hard to remove. Check hem
edge of sheets and pillowcases, bottom
end of t-shirts, etc. If this portion is white
and center is yellow, the fabric contains
unremoved soil. Use sufficient detergent
and a hot wash. Chlorine bleach may be
needed.
Clothes Stained from Iron in the Water To test for an iron stain, use a rust remov-
er that is recommended for use with
washing machines on a portion of the gar-
ment. Follow bottle directions for larger
items.
Older Clothes Some white fabrics turn yellow with age
and cannot be whitened.
Clothes Tearing or Damaged Improper Use of Chlorine Bleach No correction for bleach damaged clothes.
Always keep level at or below maximum in
bleach dispenser compartment.
Insufficient Precare Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend tears.
Remove objects from pockets.

Problem Cause Solution
Excessive Lint Improper Sorting Fabrics that shed lint cannot be washed
with fabrics that receive lint.
Insufficient Detergent/Non-phosphate
Detergent
Use enough detergent so lint remains sus-
pended in water and flushed out. Do not
oversuds the water.
Mixing Fabric Types Knits and permanent press attract lint.
Wash these only with similar items.
Use fabric softener in dispenser drawer.
Wrinkling Improper Sorting Heavy items like towels should not be
washed with light items like nightgowns.
Improper Cycle Make sure cycle selected is appropriate
for type of clothes.
Improper Temperature Using a warm or cold wash and a cold rinse
reduces wrinkling.

Maintenance
Lubrication
All moving parts are sealed in a permanent supply of lubricant or
are equipped with oilless bearings. Additional lubrication will not be
necessary.
Do not lubricate the door hinge. If the hinge makes noise, replace
the hinge.
Cold Weather Care
If the unit is delivered on a cold day (below freezing), or is stored in
an unheated room or area during the cold months, do not attempt
to operate the washer until it has had a chance to warm up. Water
from the previous cycle may remain.
Care of Your Washer
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel. Some
cleaning products may harm the finish on the control panel or dam-
age the interior. DO NOT use products that contain alcohol on the
control panel. Wipe the panel dry after cleaning.
Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach or other
washing products are spilled on the cabinet, wipe immediately.
Some products will cause permanent damage if spilled on the cabi-
net.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
The wash drum will need no particular care although it may need
rinsing or wiping after an unusual load has been washed.
The outside of the door window can be cleaned with household win-
dow cleaner.
Leave the door and dispenser drawer open slightly when not in use.
This will help keep them dry and prevent musty smells.
Running an occasional rinse cycle with bleach will help to avoid a
musty smell in the wash drum.
Cleaning Glass Sealing Area
In order to assure that the door properly seals against water
leaks, the following surfaces should be wiped off periodically:
• The outside perimeter of the door glass where the seal con-
tacts the glass
• The front surface of the door seal lip
Usually a mild soap solution will work. If there is an extreme build-up
of minerals from a hard water supply, the surfaces may need to be
cleaned with a lime removal chemical.
Replacing Hoses
Hoses and other natural rubber parts deteriorate after extended
use. Hoses may develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the
temperature and constant high pressure they are subjected to.
All hoses should be checked on a monthly basis for any visible signs
of deterioration. Any hose showing the signs of deterioration listed
above should be replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced
every five years.
Filter Screens
Check the filter screens in the fill hoses for debris or damage every
six months. Clean or replace them if necessary.
If the washer is filling with water slower than normal, check the fil-
ter screens. Clean or replace them if necessary.
Order filter screen Part No. 803615 from the nearest authorized
parts distributor.
Vacations and Extended Non-Use
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible property damage due to
flooding, turn off the water supply to the washer whenev-
er there will be an extended period of non-use.
Leave the loading door and dispenser drawer open during extended
periods of non-use to allow the wash drum and drawer to dry out
and avoid a musty smell.
Reinstallation of Shipping Materials
To prevent damage while moving the unit, the shipping materials
MUST be reinstalled.
1. Disconnect washer from electrical supply.
2. Remove two screws at bottom of front access panel.
3. Rotate bottom of panel out and remove panel.
4. Attach shipping brace to weight and base using four bolts and
washers. Refer to Figure 2 .
5. Reinstall front access panel.
6. Go to rear of washer to install rear shipping bolt, washer,
spacer assemblies.
7. Insert shipping bolt assemblies into each shipping bolt hole. Re-
fer to Figure 3 .
8. Tighten bolt while pressing washer against rear panel to ensure
spacer is fully inserted.
