To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this washer, comply with the basic
warnings listed below. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow these Important Safety Instructions:
PREVENT FIRE
o Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned
in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning sol-
vents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. Do not store
these items on or near the washer. These substances
give off vapors or chemical reactions that could ignite
or explode.
Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the
washer. These substances give off vapors that could
ignite the materials.
Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other flam-
mable or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced in a hot water system that has not been used
for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water system has not been used for such a
period, before using the washer, turn on all hot water
faucets and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to
the rubber or plastic parts of the washer.
PROTECT CHILDREN
o Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer
is used near children. As children grow, teach them the
proper, safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing ma-
terials after the washer is unpacked. Children might use
them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads
or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To pre-
vent personal injury, observe all warnings on product
labels.
Before the washer is removed from service or dis-
carded, remove the washer door to prevent accidental
entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
serious personal injuries.

PREVENT INJURY
-To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during
operation, the washer must be installed and electrically
grounded by a qualified service person in accordance
with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in
the washer for installer's reference. Refer to INSTAL=
LATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding
procedures. If the washer is moved to a new location,
have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service
person.
o To prevent personal injury or damage to the washer,
the electrical power cord of the washer must be
plugged into a properly grounded and polarized
3-prong outlet. The third grounding prong must never
be removed. Never ground the washer to a gas pipe.
Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.
Follow package directions when using laundry products.
Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas - resulting
in serious injury or death.
Do not combine laundry products for use in 1 load un-
less specified on the label.
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such
as vinegar.
FIRE/ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an
adaptor plug or extension cord or remove grounding
prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious injury, fire or death.
PREVENT INJURY AND DAHAGE TO THE WASHER
To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the
washer:
All repairs and servicing must be performed by an
authorized servicer unless specifically recommended
in this Use & Care Guide. Use only authorized factory
parts.

Do not install or store the washer where it will be ex-
posed to the weather.
Do not install on carpet. Install washer on a solid floor.
It may be necessary to reinforce the floor to prevent
vibration or movement.
Do not sit on, step on or stand on the washer. Do not
rest heavy loads on top. The washer is not meant to
support weight.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect this
appliance from the power supply before attempting
any user maintenance. Turning the controls to the OFF
position does not disconnect this appliance from the
power supply.
To prevent injury, do not reach into the washer while
parts are moving. Before loading, unloading or add-
ing items, push in the cycle selector knob and allow
the drum to coast to a complete stop before reaching
inside.

Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds from your
new washer:
A. DRAIN HOSE The washer has a flexible drain hose
to carry water from the washer to the stand pipe of
your home. You will hear water flowing into your stand
pipe. This is a normal part of the operation of the
washer.
B. WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters
the dispenser system, it is common to hear a water
flowing sound. This normal sound will vary slightly
based on the water pressure in your home.
C. DRAIN PUMP Your washer is equipped with a high
velocity drain pump. It is normal to hear humming and
gurgling sounds as water is pumped from the washer.
Both of these sounds are normal and indicate that
your pump is functioning correctly.
D. HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used to
drive the drum to high spin speeds to extract water
from your load. You will hear a sound associated with
these higher spin speeds. This sound is normal and
will vary slightly as the spin speed varies with load size
and cycle selected.
Abnormal, on-going sounds may be an indication of a
pending washer failure and should be investigated by a
qualified technic!an: ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 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 single items such as a sweater, towel or
jeans is inefficient and may cause an out-of-bal-
ance load. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance
the load.
-Wash a single heavy item such as a king-sized
comforter, bedspread or sleeping bag separately.
- The washer can be fully loaded, but the items
should not be tightly packed. The door should close
easily.

5 Add laundry products to the dispenser.
For best results
Use a low-sudsing, high efficiency
detergent to prevent oversudsing in
front load washers. Look for this symbol
on the detergent label:
Detergent, liquid chlorine bleach and liquid fabric soft-
ener will be dispensed at the proper times in the cycle.
From time to time you may see water in the "LIQUID
BLEACH" and "FABRIC SOFTENER"chambers. This is
part of the normal operation of the washer.
Liquid Chlorine Bleach z_
o If desired, add liquid chlorine bleach to the cham-
ber labeled "LIQUID BLEACH" and marked with this
symbol z_.
,Fillto the MIN line for small loads or the MAX line
for large loads.
DO NOT fill above the maximum fill line.
Open and close the dispenser drawer slowly. Closing
the drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing
of the bleach or fabric softener.
To prevent fabric damage, do not overfill the "LIQUID
BLEACH" chamber or pour liquid chlorine bleach
directly onto the load.
Add color-safe bleach with the detergent.
Liquid Fabric Softener
If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid
fabric softener into the chamber labeled "FABRIC
SOFTENER"and marked with this symbol _.
Fill to the MIN line for small loads or the MAX line
for large loads.
DO NOT fill above the maximum fill line.
Liquid or Powder Detergent
Use the cap or scoop provided by the detergent
manufacturer to measure the amount recommended.
Detergent dosage may need to be adjusted for
water temperature, water hardness, load size and
soil level.
Other Wash Products
Color-safe bleach, water conditioner, detergent booster
and enzyme products may be added with the deter-
gent. Put liquid products with liquid detergent in the
"DETERGENT WASH" chamber or powder products with
powder detergent in the DETERGENT WASH" chamber.
Do not mix liquids and powders.
Use of multi-product (detergent plus softener) sheets
or color-absorbing sheets NOT recommended. They
could disable your machine and result in unwarranted
repair costs.
To prevent staining, do not overfill the "FABRIC
SOFTENER" chamber or pour liquid fabric softener
directly on the wash load.

Other Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventive)
Cleaning Dispenser Drawer Area
Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the
dispenser drawer. Residue should be removed once or
twice a month.
- Remove the drawer by pulling the drawer out until it
stops.
- Reach back into the left rear corner of the drawer cav-
ity and press down firmly on the lock tab. Pull out the
drawer.
- Remove the insert from the bleach and fabric softener
compartments.
- Rinse the drawer and inserts with a combination of 3/4
cup liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon 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.
Rinse well with tap water.
- To clean the drawer opening, use a small brush to
clean the recess. Remove all residue from the upper
and lower parts of the recess.
- Replace the insert by pressing it in place until you hear
a slight click. Return the dispenser drawer.
Daily Preventive Maintenance
- Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle
ends. Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and odors may
develop in items left in the washer.
- If there are no small children or pets present, you may
leave the door ajar when the washer is not in use.
- Leave the dispenser drawer open slightly at the end of
the wash day.
- 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. Remove this by wip-
ing the drum with a nonabrasive household cleanser.
Rinse thoroughly with water.
- Periodically, wipe dry the folds in the bottom of the
flexible gasket to remove lint and other debris.

Inside Cleaning (Aggressive)
In cases where System Clean Cycle along with care and
cleaning of rubber gasket folds isn't done, and severe
odor, mold, mildew, or residue buildup have developed,
follow the below cleaning procedure to help alleviate the
problem.
CLEANING PROCEDURE =Washer Drum
Ensure the wash tub is empty (or no clothes load). Open
the detergent drawer and pour eight (8) cups of bleach
into the detergent compartment on the left. Select
System Clean cycle as described previously in Inside
Routine Cleaning (Preventive).
Upon cycle completion inspect the interior of the
washer to see if the odor/residue has been eliminated.
If any additional cleaning is required, repeat the above
procedure. This may take several cycles depending on
the severity of the odor/residue. You may observe some
remaining discoloration due to the long term effects of
this residue.
For especially contaminated areas visible inside the drum
(including the front rubber seal), these areas might be
more effectively cleaned by spraying a Bleach Cleaner on
a scrub brush, soft sponge, or towel and scrubbing.
