To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, read
Important Safety Instructions before operating th iswasher.
1. Sort laundry into loads that can be washed together.
Sort items by recommended water temperatures, wash time, and agitate/spin
speeds.
Separate white, light, and colorfast items from dark and noncolorfast items.
Separate items which shed lint from items which attract lint. Permanent
press, synthetic, knit and corduroy items will pick up lint from towels, rugs
and chenille bedspreads.
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled items.
Separate lacy, sheer and loosely knit items from sturdy items.
.Prepare items for washing.
Empty pockets.
Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach towels.
Closezippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes,and remove nonwashable
trims and ornaments.
Remove pins, decorative buttons, belt buckles, and other objects which
could be damaged. This also helps protect other items in the wash load.
Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage during washing.
Place delicate items such as bras and hosiery in a mesh bag to prevent
tangling during the wash cycle.
Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.
3. Pretreat stains and heavy soil.
See Stain Removal for details.
.Add laundry load to washer.
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items
should not be more than half the total wash load.
•Washing a single item, such as a sweater, bath towel or jeans, is not
recommended. As the machine tumbles the load prior to final spin, it may
sensean out-of-balance load. If an out-of-balance load issensed,the washer
will stop briefly and tumble for a short time to try to balance the load. This
stop-tumble action may occur several times before the end of the cycle. If
the load can not be evenly balanced, items may feel wet at the end of the
cycle. Adding 1 or 2 similar items will help balance the load.
• If a load becomes tangled and out-of-balance, it may be necessary to
rearrange the load by hand. Stop the washer by pushing inthe cycleselector
knob and open the door. Removethe load, untangle the items and return the
load to the tub. Close the door and restart washer.
•A single bulkyitem, such asa bedspread, comforter or sleeping bag, can
be laundered without adding extra items to the load.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the items should not betightly packed.
The door should close easily.

amount of regular detergent may be used. Because
reducing the amount of detergent mayreduce cleaning,
it isimportant to pretreat stains, sort carefully bycolor
and soil level, and avoid overloading.
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water
temperature, water hardness, sizeand softlevelof the
load.
For best results, avoid oversudsing.

the inside of the washer.
• Add a1/2 cup of liquid bleach tothe detergent compartment ofthe dispenser
drawer and fill the bleach dispenser compartment to the Max Fill level and
run WITHOUT a clothes load using the Normal Cycle setting.
To reduce risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property, comply
with the basicwarnings listed in ImportantSafetylnstructions and those listed
below.
Before cleaning the washer or dryer interior, unplug the electricalpower
cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
Do not use any type of spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer interior.
Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
Inside
QRemove items from the washer assoon asthe cycle ends. Excesswrinkling,
color transfer, and odors may develop in items left in the washer.
Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electricalpower cord to
avoid electrical shock hazards.
Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket, and door glass. These
areas should always be clean to ensure a water tight seal.
When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue may remain
on the drum. Removethis bywiping the drum with anonabrasive household
cleanser. Rinsethoroughly with water.
The plastic drum vanes may become stained from fabric dye. Clean these
parts with a nonabrasive household cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to
future loads.
Cleaning the Dispenser Drawer Area
Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the dispenser drawer. Residue should
be removed once or twice a month.
Removethe drawer by first sliding the safety latch to the right, then pulling
the drawer out until it stops. (Figure 1)

Rinse the drawer and inserts with hot tap water to remove traces of
accumulated powders and liquids. Large amounts of fabric softener residue
may indicate improper dilution or more frequent cleaning is required.
To clean the drawer opening, usea small brush to clean the recess. Remove
all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess. (Figure 4)
Return the bleach and fabric softener inserts to their proper compartments.
Replacethe dispenser drawer and run the short wash cyclewithout anywash

Care and Cleaning
Clean lint screen after every load.
Wash lint screen occasionally.
Inside the Dryer
• Clean the dryer lint screen after every load. Lint build-up in the screen restricts
air flow, which causeslonger drying times. Thescreen islocated at the bottom
of the door opening. Removebypulling straight up. Removethe lint and replace
the screen.
Occasionally awaxy build-up mayform on the lint screenfrom using dryer-added
fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash the lint screen in warm,
soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the
lint screen in place.
If the dryerdrum becomes stained from noncolorfast fabrics, cleanthe drum with
a damp cloth and a mild liquid household cleanser. Remove cleanser residue
before drying the next load.
Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dryer cabinet interior
and exhaust duct. These areascan collect lint and dust over time. An excessive
amount of lint build-up could result in inefficient drying and possible fire hazard.
Outside
• When laundering iscompleted, wipe cabinet with a damp cloth. Turn water
faucets off to prevent pressure build-up in the hoses.
Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or
abrasive cleansers. If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine
bleach [1/2 cup (120 ml)in 1quart (.95 L)water]. Rinseseveral times with clear
water.
Removeglue residuefrom tape or labelswith amixture of warm water and mild
detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky side of the tape or label.
Before moving the laundry center, placeastrip of cardboard or thin fiberboard
under the front leveling legsto prevent floor damage.
