IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injuryto persons when using
the washer, follow basic precautions, includingthe following:
• Read all instructions before using the
washer.
• Do not wash articles that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked
in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, other flammable, or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
•Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning sol-
vents,-or other flammable, or explosive
substances to the wash water. These
substances give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
•Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas
may be produced in ahot 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 washing
machine, turn on all hot water faucets and
let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable,
do not smoke or use an open flame during
this time.
•Do not allow children to play on or in the
washer. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the washer is used near
children.
•Before the washer is removed from service
or discarded, remove the door.
• Do not reach into the washer if the tub or
agitator is moving.
• Do not install or store the washer where it
will be exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper witl_ controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the
washer or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in this Use and
Care Guide or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have
the skills to carry out.
•See Installation Instructions for grounding
requirements.

Understanding normal washer sounds
Your new washer may make sounds your old one
didn't. Because the sounds may be unfamiliar, you
may be soncemed about them. Don't be; most of
them are normal.
The following describes some of the sounds you may
hear and what causes them.
During washing
When you select a small load size setting, your
washer has a lower water level. This may cause a
clickingsound from the upper part of the agitator.
During drain
If water isdrained quickly from your washer (depend-
ing on your installation),you may hear air being
pulled through the pump during the end of draining.
After drain and before spin
When the cycle changes from draining to spinning,
you may hear gears engaging.
Understanding what happens in each cycle
When the Cycle Control Knob is set to a number
and pulled out, the washer fills (to the selected load
size) before agitation and timing start. The washer
begins agitating immediately after filling; agitation
occurs with the washer lid up or down.
During agitation, the SURE CARE* agitator creates
a continuous rollover
action that provides a
thorough cleaning of
the wash load.
After agitation starts, the Cycle Control Knob turns
clockwise until it points to an Off area and the
cycle ends.
NOTE: The washer pauses brieflythroughout each
cycle. These pauses are normal for washer operation.

spills such as detergent or bleach.
Occasionally wipe the outside of your
washer to keep it looking new.
Cleaning the interior
Clean your washer intedor by mixing 1cup (250 mL)
of chlorine bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent.
Pour this intoyour washer and run itthrough a com-
plete cycle using hot water. Repeat this process if
necessary.
NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using
only cleaners labeled as washer safe.
Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser
Flush dispenser I)eriodically with warm water, as
shown. Remove the dispenser by grasping the top
of the dispenser with both hands and squeezing
and pushing upwards with thumbs. Clean the
dispenser by rinsing it under a water faucet.
Replace it after cleaning.
NOTE: Do not wash clothes with this dispenser
removed. Do not add detergent or bleach to this
dispenser; it isfor liquid fabric softener use only.
Winter storage, moving, vacation care
Install and store your washer where itwill not
freeze. Because some water may stay in the
hoses, freezing can damage your washer. If
storing or moving your washer during freezing
weather, winterize it.
To winterize washer:
1. Shut off both water faucets.
2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
3. Put 1quart (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the
basket.
4. Run washer on a drain and spin setting (see
"Rinse/drain and spin") for about 30 seconds to
mix the antifreeze and water.
5. Unplug the power supply cord.
To use washer again:
1. Flush water pipes and hoses.
2. Reconnect water inlet hoses.
3. Turn on both water faucets.
4. Reconnect power supply cord.
5. Run the washer through a complete cycle with
1 cup (250 mL) of detergent to clean out antifreeze.
Non-use or vacation care:
Operate your washer only when you are at home. If
you will be on vacation or not using your washer for
an extended period of time, you should:
• Unplug the power supply cord or turn off electrical
power to the washer.
• Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps
avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure
surge) while you are away.
