The serial number is
unique to each product.
It is required to be paid
for warranty service and
to get the correct part in
the event a running
production change was
made.
Some models may have
four (4) letters instead of
two (2) for the product
code number. The third
and fourth letters are
significant only to the
manufacturing facility.

To get the best washing performance, the user selects one of the
standard cycles and sensors in the GIANT make an infinitely variable
number of adjustments as the cycle progresses.
Adjustments are automatically made for load size, incoming water
temperature, soil level, rinses required, and other variables.

The recirculation pump circulates the water during most of the cycle.
During the WASH cycle, it runs continuously for the first 3 minutes and
then intermittently throughout the cycle.
During the RINSE cycle, it runs continuously as soon as the appropriate
amount of rinse water has been added. This recirculated water enters
the drum at the top of the door at a small shower head. This spray not
only keeps the window and gasket clean, it allows the clothes to be
soaked with detergent or rinse water more quickly and can be used to
control an oversudsing event.

The recirculation pump is separate
from the drain pump, but they are
attached to opposite sides of the
filter housing.
When the sanitary cycle is used,
the door will remain locked until the
laundry has cooled to a safe
temperature.
The pumps and filter are located at
the bottom left front corner.
The filter can be unscrewed,
cleaned, and replaced by opening
the small cover.

Use the small drain hose to
evacuate the water remaining in
the bottom of the tub before
removing the filter. Do not pull it
out so far the hose is kinked.
The drain pump is on the left and
exhausts the water via the gray
corrugated hose.
The recirculating pump is on the
right and recirculates water from
the tub to the shower spray at the
top of the door gasket via the
smaller black hose.

The BAFFLES aid in the tumbling action of the load. The
baffle fills with water as the inner tub rotates to the bottom.
The water then spills onto the load as the baffle rotates to
the top. Better water circulation, washing, rinsing.
