OperatingTips
Detergent
•Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent. For
best results, be sure detergent is added to the
washer BEFORE the load and be sure the wash
water is above 65 ° F.
• Use the correct amount of detergent for the load size,
soil level and water conditions. Use more detergent if
you have hard water and very soiled loads.
If you have soft water or a lightly soiled load, use less
detergent. (See manufacturer's instructions.)
• Wipe up any detergent spills on the washer.
Loading
• Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to the
top row of holes for a maximum load.
• Do not wrap large items like sheets around the agitator.
• Mix large and small items for best circulation. Wash
bulky items like blankets separately.
• When laundering wrinkle free items or items of
delicate construction, washable woolens or loosely
knit items, never use less than the MEDIUM water
level setting. This will minimize shrinkage, wrinkling
and pulling of seams.
• For best results add the detergent to the washtub
before adding the load.
• Close lid carefully to avoid slamming.

OperatingTips
Additional tips
•During the spin, it is possible for the load to become
unevenly distributed in the tub. If this happens, push
in the control knob, open the lid, redistribute the
load, close the lid and pull out the control knob. The
spin will resume at the point it was interrupted.
• The washer will pause briefly throughout each cycle.
These pauses are normal.
• This washer is designed so that it will not spin when
the lid is open. It will, however, fill and agitate with
the lid open so water is available for pretreating
stains or diluting fabric softener.
• If you open the lid during a spin cycle, the washer
will stop. When the lid is closed and the control dial
pulled out, the washer will continue the cycle at the
point it was interrupted.

SpecialFeatures
Liquid Bleach Dispenser
The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine
bleach before it reaches your wash load. To use, follow
these steps:
1. Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully, following
the instructions on the bottle.
2. Add the bleach to the dispenser before adding the
load. Avoid splashing or over-filling the dispenser.
Note
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach
directly onto the load or into the wash tub. It is a
powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage,
such as tearing or color loss, if not used properly.
• If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine
bleach, pour it into the wash tub with your
detergent. Do not pour non-chlorine bleaches into
the bleach dispenser.
/:........... * *h' ...............
Pour liquid chlorine bleach into
bleach dispenser.
Fabric Softener Dispenser
The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric
softener at the proper time during the cycle. To use,
follow these steps:
1. Pour a measured amount of fabric softener into
the dispenser to fill line only.
2. If fabric softener comes below line, add warm
water.
If it is necessary to clean the dispenser:

SpecialFeatures,cont.
End of Cycle Signal
[select models)
The end of cycle signal will sound once the cycle is
completed.
Unbalanced Spin
Load Compensator
Your new washer is designed to handle out-of-balance
loads without shutting down or interrupting the
washing cycle.
For this reason, the cycle will always be completed. If
heavier fabrics in such out-of-balance loads should
ever contain excessive moisture at the completion of
the cycle, redistribute the clothes in the washer and
reset the control dial for the final spin period.
Automatic Lint Filtering System
The Lint Filtering System does not require
cleaning.
Wash and rinse water is filtered and re-filtered
continuously to trap lint shed by most fabrics during
the agitation cycle before it can be re-deposited on the
wash load. The engineered hole design on the wash
basket in conjunction with water flow produced by the
agitator, traps lint away from the clothes between the
inner wash basket and the outer tub. Lint is
automatically flushed from the washer during the spin
cycle.
Safety Spin
If for any reason you open the washer lid when the
washer is in a spin or extract period, the operation will
immediately stop. This is for your personal safety. If
your washer does not stop, call your service technician
immediately. When the lid is closed, the operation will
automatically resume.
Overload Protector
A built-in protector automatically shuts off the washer
motor in case of an overload. This can occur if:
• The load being washed is too heavy.
• Too many appliances are plugged into the line
operating your washer.
• A low voltage condition exists on the line.
• Lid is opened and closed repeatedly.
The overload protector permits the washer to start
again when the motor has cooled to a safe operating
tern peratu re.
If the motor stops repeatedly, call your service
technician.

Care& Cleanin9
.
.
After washing, leave the lid open until the interior
is dry.
Check hoses to be sure there are no kinks or
knots.
Your washer should not be installed where
temperatures will go below freezing, as damage to
the washer could result.
To clean, occasionally wipe exterior with a clean
damp sponge or cloth. Do not use polish on plastic
parts.
Lifetime lubrication is done at the factory, so your
washer never needs to be oiled or greased.
Do not lay heavy or sharp objects on top of your
washer.
.
10.
11.
The top of the washer should not be used for
removing stains from garments. Some stain
removers, such as rust remover, will mar the finish.
Remove pins, buckles or other sharp objects from
clothes to prevent scratching interior parts.
Clothes should not be stored in washer.
Bleach, detergent, solvents, etc. spilled on the top
of your washer that are allowed to remain will
remove the glossy finish. Remove all spills with a
damp, soft cloth.
If you close your home for the winter, have a
service technician drain the washer. Unplug cord
from electrical outlet and disconnect hoses from
faucets.
Cleaning the Interior
The interior of the washer should be cleaned
periodically to remove dirt, soil, odor or bacteria
residue that may remain in the washer as a result of
washing clothes. We recommend taking the following
steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your
washer interior. The frequency with which the washer
should be cleaned and freshened depends on factors
such as usage, the amount of dirt, soil or bacteria being
run through your washer, or the use of cold water.
To clean and freshen the washer interior:
1. Add a measured amount of chlorine bleach to the
bleach dispenser, following package directions.
2. Add 1//4 cup of detergent to the tub.
3. Run the washer through a complete cycle using
hot water.
/4. Repeat the process if necessary.
