Important Safety Instructions
Save These Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious in-
jury 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
INSTALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connec-
tion of the washer. All connections for water, drain, electri-
cal 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 wash articles that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-clean-
ing solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances
as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not add the following substances or textiles containing
traces of the following substances to the wash water: gaso-
line, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine
oils, dry-cleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners
or other flammable or explosive substances. These sub-
stances give off vapors 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 machine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all
hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for sev-
eral minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. THE GAS IS FLAMMABLE, 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 su-
pervision of children is necessary when the washer is used
near children. This appliance is not intended for use by per-
sons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction con-

cerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety. This is a safety rule for all appliances.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by chil-
dren without supervision.
• Children less than three years should be kept away unless
continuously supervised.
• Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or agitator, if
applicable, 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.
• Use your washer only for its intended purpose, washing
clothes. Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied
by the garment manufacturer.
• Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on
packages of laundry and cleaning aids. To reduce the risk
of poisoning 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
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
• Lid MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is to agitate or
spin. DO NOT bypass the lid switch to permit the washer to
agitate or spin with the lid open. A brake will stop the wash-
tub within seconds if the lid is opened during spinning. If
the washtub does not stop when the lid is opened, remove
the washer from use and call the service person.
• 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-
maintenance instructions or in published user-repair in-
structions that you understand and have the skills to carry
out. ALWAYS disconnect 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 manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the lid or door to the washing compartment.
• Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this washer ac-
cording 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
occur. Observe and be aware of other labels and pre-
cautions that are located on the machine. They are in-
tended to provide instruction for safe use of the ma-
chine. Common sense, caution and care must be exer-
cised when installing, maintaining, or operating the
washer.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the
manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not un-
derstand.

Operation
Before Washing
Prepare Wash Load
Empty Pockets and Cuffs
Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside out.
One bobby 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 pocket will produce extreme “lint”. A crayon or
lipstick in a wash load may cause stains that cannot be re-
moved. Roll down cuffs and shake out grass, sand and gravel.
Strings on clothing such as hooded sweatshirts may get
caught in or around the agitator. Remove the strings if possible
or tie them together.
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.
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 wa-
ter.
Sort Items
Different items use different wash cycles and temperatures.
Always follow the manufacturer’s care label. 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
attract lint and should not be washed with lint-shedding
loads. Lint shedders are cottons, terry towels, chenille bed-
spreads, 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
NOTE: Always add detergent first.
• 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.
• Drop items loosely into the washtub. The bulk of the
clothes rather than the weight will determine load size. Do
not pack items in or wrap them around the agitator. Over-
loading can cause poor cleaning, excessive wrinkling and
tears.
• Items should move freely through the wash water for best
cleaning results. Items should rollover, sink and then reap-
pear.
• When washing very large items, do not fill washtub as full
as with other loads.

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
abilities are not as great as with hot or warm water, it is useful
for colors 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 inef-
fective cleaning, or lint and residue to form.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.
Water Supply Temperature
Water temperature is determined by the temperature of the in-
coming water supply. The washer does not heat or cool the wa-
ter.
For example, northern climates will have much colder incom-
ing water during the winter months. Southern climates will
have much warmer cold water during the summer months.

Energy
You can save energy when washing by following these guide-
lines:
1. Save on heating water by using colder washes. Heating wa-
ter accounts for the greatest energy expense when wash-
ing.
2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.
3. Use soak option, if available, for heavily soiled items to re-
duce the need for longer wash times.

Operating Your Washer
Determine Proper Cycle
The following cycle descriptions will help determine which cy-
cle to choose depending on the type of laundry being washed.
Normal Eco
This cycle uses a spray rinse to reduce water consumption. It
also uses less hot water. This cycle is recommended for wash-
ing everyday cottons and linens. If using fabric softener in this
cycle, select the Extra Rinse option.
Perm Press
Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The final spin
is a low spin speed.
Heavy Duty
Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes, heavily soiled
jeans, T-shirts, etc. There is a longer wash time for the best re-
sults when cleaning heavily soiled items.
Bulky/Sheet
Use this cycle when washing bulky items such as sheets, blan-
kets and comforters. The cycle includes a gentle wash action
to thoroughly clean larger items.
Spin
Use this cycle to extract water from wet items. The cycle uses
the high spin.
Delicate
Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on this cycle.
On this cycle, the agitation during the wash portion of the cycle
is not constant. The wash will alternate between periods of agi-
tation and then a short soak until advancing to the spin por-
tion of the cycle. All spin speeds are a low spin.
Waterproof Items
If waterproof or water-resistant items need to be washed, use
only the Delicate Cycle.
Examples of waterproof items include rain coats and bed lin-
ers. Load the items evenly and load washtub no more than
1/2 full. For best washing results, add another item such as a
cotton sheet on top of the waterproof items to make sure they
get fully submersed in the water and that no air is trapped un-
der the waterproof items.
WARNING
Failure to closely follow these instructions may re-
sult in an abnormal vibrating and out-of-balance con-
dition that could result in physical injury, property
damage and/or appliance damage.

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 connec-
ted to a protective 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 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for details of prop-
er 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 wash
drum.
1. Get the clothes ready for washing. Empty pockets and
cuffs. Sort items into separate loads. Pretreat stains and
heavily soiled areas.
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) deter-
gent to the washtub. Follow instructions on detergent pack-
age for amount to use.

Optional Features
Bleach Dispenser
The bleach dispenser is located in the left front corner, under
the lid.
Use liquid bleach in the dispenser. Powdered bleach must not
be used in the dispenser. Add powdered bleach to the wash
water.
Use no more than one cup chlorine bleach for large loads,
three-quarters cup for medium and one-half cup for small
loads.
Carefully pour recommended amount of bleach into the dis-
penser before the start of the wash cycle.
Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach. It is a strong chemical
and can damage some fabrics if it is not properly diluted.
Bleach is very corrosive and overfilling the dispenser can
cause chemical damage to the washer components. Compo-
nents damaged by bleach are not covered under the product
warranty.
Fabric Softener Dispenser
Fabric softener should not be used with the Normal Eco or
Spin Only cycles unless the Extra Rinse option is also selected.
To Use Dispenser
After the clothes are loaded into the washtub and before the
start of the WASH cycle, pour the proper amount of liquid fab-
ric softener into the bottle measuring cap (refer to bottle direc-
tions). Pour into dispenser.
The large fabric softener dispenser allows for the fabric soften-
er to be diluted with water. We recommend adding water up to
the fill level. Do not exceed tip of arrow which indicates correct
fill level. Over-filling can allow fabric softener to spill onto the
clothes, causing stains on clothes if the softener comes into
contact with detergent suds.
Setting the water level to medium or higher will result in better
performance from the fabric softener.
The fabric softener will remain in the dispenser during the
wash fill, agitation and spin. At the end of the wash spin, the
liquid fabric softener will be dispensed into the washtub
through the slots in the agitator and will be mixed with the in-
coming rinse water.
To Clean the Dispenser
1. Grasp the entire fabric softener assembly firmly with both
hands and place your thumbs inside the hole at the top.
2. Pull quickly up and towards you. The assembly will come
off the agitator.
3. Lay down a cloth on a hard, flat surface.
4. Lay the assembly on the cloth on its side so the vertical
lines are facing up.
5. Place your palms on the ridge at the base of the dispenser
housing and press down firmly. The assembly will split
apart for easy cleaning.
6. Soak housing, cup and funnel in hot soapy water. Use a
small brush to scrub if needed.
7. Rinse housing, cup and funnel clean.
8. The inside of the agitator can also be cleaned.
9. After cleaning, install dispenser funnel, cup and housing
until they click into place.
10. Push assembly directly downward onto top of agitator until
firmly snapped in place.
IMPORTANT: When adding detergent to the wash load,
DO NOT allow any detergent to enter the softener dis-
penser cup. If this happens, refer to the cleaning in-
structions.

Use Tips
• Fabric softener spilled onto garments may cause staining.
To remove, dampen stain and rub with bar soap. Wash as
usual.

• Liquid fabric softeners will be dispensed during the first
rinse and should not be combined with bleach, bluing,
starch, detergents, soaps or packaged water conditioners.
• When adding detergent to wash water, do not allow any to
enter into softener dispenser cup, as softener will become
gummy.
To prevent softener buildup, the dispenser can be filled with
clean water for automatic cleaning. This can be done in wash-
ing cycles other than when softener is used.

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 more detergent to washtub before
loading clothes.
Mild detergents are not suitable for
average 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 Wa-
ter
Follow package directions. Soften water
if possible.
Water Not Hot Enough White clothes will stay whiter with hot
wash water. Increase temperature.
Overcrowding Washer Clothes must circulate freely through
the water for best results.
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 re-
mover that is recommended for use
with washing machines on a portion of
the garment. Follow bottle directions for
larger items.
Older Clothes Some white fabrics turn yellow with age
and cannot be whitened.

during agitation.
Excessive Lint Improper Sorting Fabrics that shed lint cannot be wash-
ed with fabrics that receive lint.
Insufficient Detergent/Non-phosphate
Detergent

suspended 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 rinse water.
Wrinkling Improper Sorting Heavy items like towels should not be
washed with light items like night-
gowns.

for type of clothes.
Improper Temperature Using a warm or cold wash and a cold
rinse reduces wrinkling.

Maintenance
Cold Weather Care
If the unit is delivered on a cold day (below freezing), or is stor-
ed 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.
Winterizing the Washer
Follow these steps to prevent damage from freezing water.
1. Unplug washer.
2. Remove two screws from bottom of front panel.
3. Remove hose from drain pump.
4. Let water drain out and reconnect hose.
5. Turn off water supply.
6. Remove fill hoses and allow them to drain.
7. Use compressed air to blow water out of water valve:
a. Plug washer into electrical power.
b. Select a Warm wash temperature.
c. Start a cycle. This will open both sides of water valve.
d. Use compressed air to blow out any residual water.
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 damage the interior. DO NOT use products that con-
tain 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 imme-
diately. Some products will cause permanent damage if spilled
on the cabinet.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on control
panel or cabinet.
The washtub will need no particular care though it may need
rinsing or wiping after some unusual loads have been washed.
This also may be necessary if too little detergent has been
used.
Leave the lid open to allow the inside of the washer to dry out
after use. This helps prevent musty odors from developing.
The agitator should not be removed except for service. The
washtub is designed to be self cleaning.
Replacing Hoses
Hoses and other 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 deteriora-
tion listed above should be replaced immediately. All hoses
should be replaced every five years.
Flood safe hoses often can be the cause for no fill or slow fill
issues. They are not recommended. Only use replacement fill
hoses from the manufacturer.
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 filter screens. Clean or replace them if necessary.
Order filter screen Part No. 803615 from the nearest author-
ized parts distributor.
Vacations and Extended Non-Use
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible property damage due
to flooding, turn off the water supply to the washer
whenever there will be an extended period of non-use.
