Read all instructions before using the appliance.
As with any equipment using electricity and having
moving parts, there are potential hazards. To use
this appliance safely, the operator should become
familiar with the instructions for operation of the
appliance and always exercise care when using it.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will
be exposed to the weather.
Install and level washer on a floor that can support
the weight.
This appliance must be properly grounded. Never
plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which is
not grounded adequately and in accordance with
local and national codes. See installation
instructions for grounding this appliance.
To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not wash items 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. Hand wash and line
dry any items containing these substances.
Any material on which you have used a cleaning
solvent, or which is saturated with flammable
liquids or solids, should not be placed in the
washer until all traces of these liquids or solids
and their fumes have been removed.
These items include acetone, denatured alcohol,
gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household
cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes
and wax removers.
b_ Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, 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 a hot water system that has not
been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has
not been used for such a period, before using a

5ofetv
washing machine or combination washer-dryer,
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.
7. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or
agitator is moving.
8. Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in
front of the appliance. Close supervision is
necessary when the appliance is used near
children and pets.
9. Do not tamper with controls.
I0,Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in published user-repair instructions
that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
11. Unplug power supply cord before attempting to
service your washer.
12. The agitator should not be removed. If the agitator
is removed, it must be replaced by pushing down
completely and the locking screw tightened before
the washer is operated.

Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry
place where children cannot reach them.
Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with
vegetable or cooking oil. These items may contain
some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil
the fabric may smoke or catch fire by [tseIt
Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids
(such as vinegar or rust remove0 in the same
wash. Hazardous fumes can form.
Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small
particles can stick to fabrics washed in following
loads and cause skin irritation.
Before the appliance is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
Inlet hoses are subject to damage and deterioration
over time. Check the hoses periodically for bulges,
kinks, cuts, wear or leaks and replace them every
five years.

Operutin9Tips
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.
Additionam 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 or
agitate when the lid is open. It will, however, fill with
the lid open so water is available for pretreating
stains or dihting 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.

UsingtheControls
Select Water Level
Determine the selected setting based on clothes load
size.
On select models, the infinite control allows you to
select a specific setting or anywhere in between.
It may become necessary, due to bulky fabrics, to
adjust the water level after agitation begins. To adjust
the water level, turn the control to reset and then back
to the desired setting.

SpecialFeatures
B each Dispenser
The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine
bleach before it reaches your wash Ioad. To use, follow
these steps:
1_Measure liquid chlodne 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.
Fabric Softener Dispenser
(style varies by model)
This 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 liquid comes below line, add warm water.
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.
Note
Do not stop the washer during the first spin. This
will cause the dispenser to empty too soon.
Never pour fabric softener directly on the load. It
will leave spots and stains.
Use the dispenser for liquid fabric softeners only.
Pour liquid chlorine bleach into
bleach dispenser. Pour liquid fabric softener into cup and
dilute with warm water.
Finger Faucet (select models)
Provides a flow of water when holding the switch in
the "On" position.

Care& Cleanin9
Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day's
washing. This will shut off the water supply to the
washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage
from escaping water.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or
other spills as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel - clean with a soft, damp cloth and
glass cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders or
cleaning pads.
Cabinet - clean with soap and water followed with an
appliance wax, if desired.
Lint Filter - it is self-cleaning and requires no
maintenance. The filter is located under the agitator
on the bottom of the
washtub. During the
wash and rinse
portion of the cycle,
lint is collected on
the filter. Then during
the spin and drain
the filter is cleaned
automatically.
Fabric Softener Dispenser (style varies by model)
If it is necessary to clean the dispenser:
1. Pull the dispenser off of the top of the agitator.
2. Soak for one hour in sink or container in hot
water and dishwashing liquid.
3. Hold hands over top and bottom of dispenser
and shake to loosen buildup.
/4. Rinse with clean, hot water.
5. Repeat process if necessary.
6. Replace dispenser on agitator.
Do not use dishwashing liquid
inside the washer. Oversudsing can
occur,
.<;:' "%
Interior - hard water deposits may be removed, if
needed, using a recommended cleaner labeled
washer safe.
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.
Storin9theWasher
Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from
hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare
the washer for storage as follows:
• Select Regular, Light, and add one cup of chlorine
bleach OR white vinegar to a full load of water
without clothes. Run the washer through a complete
cycle.
Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet
hoses.
Advance the cycle control knob to Spin and lower
the drain hose to eliminate any water that may be in
the drain hose.
Disconnect the washer from the electrical supply
and leave the washer lid open to let air circulate
inside the tub.

CaractGristiquesspeciales
Distributeur de javellisant
Le distributeur dilue automatiquement le javellisant liquide
avant qu'il atteigne le linge. Pour I'utiliser, proc6der comme
suit :
1. Mesurer la quantit6 de javellisant liquide avec soin en
suivant les instructions sur le r6cipient.
2. Verser le javellisant dans le distributeur avant d'ajouter
le linge. Cviter les 6claboussures ou le d6bordement du
distributeur.
Distributeur d'assouplissant
(le style varient selon le modele)
Ce distributeur ajoute I'assouplissant liquide au moment
voulu du cycle. Pour I'utiliser, proc6der comme suit :
1. Verser la quantit6 voulue de liquid dans le godet,
jusqu'au rep6re de remplissage seulement.
2. Si le liquide n'atteint pas le repere, ajouter de I'eau tiede.
Remarque
Ne jamais verser de javellisant liquide non dilu_
directement sur le linge ou dans la cuve. Ce produit
chimique est puissant et peut endommager les tissus,
en les d6chirant ou d6colorant, s'il n'est utilis6
correctement.
Lorsqu'un javellisant sans chlore et sans danger pour
les couleurs est utilis6, le verser dans la cuve avec le
d6tergent. Ne pas verser de javellisant sans chlore dans
le distributeur de javellisant.
Remarque
Ne pas arr6ter la machine durant le premier essorage.
Le distributeur se viderait trop t6t.
Ne jamais verser d'assouplissant directement sur le
linge. II laisserait des train6es et des taches.
Utiliser le distributeur pour I'assouplissant liquide
uniquement.
Verser le javellisant liquide dans
le distributeur de javellisant. Verser I'assouplissant liquide dans le godet et
diluer avec de I'eau tiede.
