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 li-
censed 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 ex-
tension cord or an adapter to connect the washer to the elec-
trical 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 (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning 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 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 appli-
cable, 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 gar-
ment manufacturer.
• 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.
• 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 washtub 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 aempt 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 aempting
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, remove
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. Observe and be aware of other labels and precau-
tions that are located on the machine. They are intended
to provide instruction for safe use of the machine. Com-
mon sense, caution and care must be exercised when in-
stalling, maintaining, or operating the washer.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the manu-
facturer about any problems or conditions you do not understand.

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.
Strings on clothing such as hooded sweatshirts may get caught in
or around the agitator. Remove the strings if possible or tie them
together.
TLW1990N_SVG
Mend Rips and Tears
Lile 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 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
coons/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 coons, 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.

• 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 wash-
ing 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. Overloading can
cause poor cleaning, excessive wrinkling and tears.
TLW1992N_SVG
• Items should move freely through the wash water for best
cleaning results. Items should rollover, sink and then reappear.
• 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.
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/Prewash cycle for heavily soiled items to reduce wash
times.
4. Select a shorter wash time for lightly soiled items.

Operating Your Washer
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury
or death to persons, read the Safety Information sec-
tion before operating your washer.
W522
Determine Proper Cycle
Heavy Duty/Permanent Press Cycle
Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes, towels, T-shirts, etc.,
or for permanent press items and synthetics. The wash time selec-
tion will depend on the type of fabric and the amount of soil. For the
best results when cleaning heavily soiled items, use a higher soil lev-
el selection. Lightly soiled items require less wash time.
There are three seings in the HEAVY DUTY/PERMANENT PRESS
cycle - HEAVY, NORMAL and LIGHT.
Normal Eco Cycle
To maximize energy and water efficiency, this cycle uses less water
than the other cycles. It also uses less hot water.
The rinse part of the cycle is a spray rinse. The washer will start
spinning and the cold water valve will turn on during the spin to pro-
vide a spray rinse.
This cycle is recommended for washing everyday coons and linens
with the Extra Rinse option Off.
There are two seings in the NORMAL ECO cycle - NORMAL and
LIGHT.
Handwash/Delicate Cycle
Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on this cycle. A full tub
of water is recommended (even for small loads) to allow the deli-
cate items to move freely through the water. More water helps re-
duce fabric wear, wrinkling, and provides for a clean wash.
On this cycle, the agitation during the wash portion of the cycle is
not constant. The wash will alternate between periods of agitation
and then a short soak until advancing to the spin portion of the cy-
cle. All spin speeds are a low spin.
There are two seings in the HANDWASH/DELICATE cycle - NOR-
MAL and LIGHT.
Soak/Prewash Cycle
Use for heavily soiled or stained clothing. During the SOAK/
PREWASH seing, the washtub will fill with water, agitate for a re-
duced period of time, pause for approximately 12 minutes, and spin
out to complete the cycle.
Extra Rinse
This optional seing is useful for detergent sensitive skin. By
pressing the EXTRA RINSE buon to ON, the HEAVY DUTY/
PERMANENT PRESS and HANDWASH/DELICATE cycles will each
provide an additional rinse.
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 to
the washtub. Follow instructions on detergent package for
amount to use.

NOTE: High efficiency (HE) detergent is recommend-
ed for use in this machine. Look for the HE logo or
“high efficiency” on the detergent’s label.
3. Add clothes loosely into the washtub (16 lbs. [7.2 kg] maxi-
mum dry clothes load).
TLW1996N_SVG
4. Close the lid. The washer will not fill, agitate or spin with the lid
open.
TLW1997N_SVG
5. Set WASH TEMPERATURE control. (All rinses are cold.)
6. Select EXTRA RINSE if desired.
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 seing.
8. Pull the timer knob out to start the water fill. Agitation will be-
gin when the water reaches the level selected.
NOTE: Lid must be closed for fill, agitation and spin
to start.
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.
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 seing de-
sired. Pull timer knob out to start the washer.
Manual Soaking
1. Set the timer knob in the center of the word “RINSE” (this pre-
vents the washer from spinning without first filling with water).
2. Place the soaking product and clothes load in the washtub.
3. Pull timer knob to start washer fill.
4. After fill is completed and agitation has started (lid must be
closed), push the timer knob in. This will stop the washer
5. When the clothes have soaked the desired length of time, TURN
THE TIMER KNOB TO THE START OF THE SPIN SETTING, then
pull the timer knob out to start the spin.
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 dam-
age.
W524
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 dispenser
during the first fill of the washer.
Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach. It is a strong chemical and
can damage some fabrics if it is not properly diluted.
Fabric Softener Dispenser
Fabric softener should not be used when the Normal Eco cycle is
selected unless the Extra Rinse is set to ON.
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 fabric softener
into the bole measuring cap (refer to bole directions). Pour into
dispenser.
The large fabric softener dispenser allows for the fabric softener to
be diluted with water. We recommend adding water up to the fill lev-
el. 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 deter-
gent suds.
