– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

•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

solvents, or other flammable, or

explosive substances to the wash

water. These substances give

off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

•Under certain conditions, hydro-

gen gas may be produced in a

hot water system that has not

been used for 2 weeks or more.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLO-

SIVE. If the hot water system has

not been used for such a period,

before using a 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 supervi-

sion of children is necessary

when the washer is used near

children.

•Before the washer is removed

from service or discarded, re-

move 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 with 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.

OPERATING YOUR WASHER

Selecting a cycle and time

This section illustrates and describes the

wash cycles you can select with the Cycle

Control Knob. Use this information to help

you make the best cycle selections for your

wash loads. Each cycle is designed for

different types of fabrics and soil levels.

Normal Cycle

The Normal cycle features longer spins to

shorten drying time.

Use this cycle for

cleaning cotton and

linen fabrics. Select 6

(Regular) or 12

(Heavy) minutes of

wash time, depending

on whether your load

is moderately or heavily soiled.

Permanent Press Cycle

The Permanent Press cycle features a

cool-down rinse and

shorter spins to

reduce wrinkling. Use

this cycle for cleaning

permanent press and

some synthetic fabrics.

Select 4 (Light) or 8

(Regular) minutes of

wash time, depending on whether your wash

load is lightly or moderately soiled.

Short Cycle

The Short cycle features brief wash and

soak periods, followed

by shorter spins. Use

this 8-minute cycle to

clean delicate items

and washable knits

that are lightly or

moderately soiled.

•The washer pauses briefly throughout each

cycle. These pauses are normal for washer

operation.

•Refer to page 9 to learn more about the

sounds you may hear during a wash cycle.

•Refer to page 10 to help you understand

what happens during a wash cycle.

Soak Cycle

The Soak cycle features brief periods of agi-

tation and soak time

to help remove heavy

soils and stains that

need pretreatment.

•Use warm water

when soaking

laundry. Hot water

can set stains. See

pages 17-19 for stain removal information.

•

Use the amount of detergent or presoak

additive recommended by the manufacturer.

•After the Soak cycle ends, add detergent

and set a new wash cycle.

Pre-Wash Cycle

The 4-minute Pre-Wash cycle features a

brief period of agi-

tation to help remove

heavy soils and

stains that need

pretreatment. See

pages 17-19 for

stain removal infor-

mation. Once the

Pre-Wash cycle ends, add detergent and

start a new wash cycle.

Using rinse and spin

When using extra detergent for heavily soiled

clothes, or washing special-care items, you

may find an extra rinse and spin is needed.

1. For an additional rinse, push in the Cycle

Control Knob and turn clockwise to Rinse,

as illustrated.

2. Pull out the Cycle Control Knob. The

washer fills to selected load size,

agitates, drains, and spins.

Using drain and spin

A drain and spin may help shorten drying

times for some heavy fabrics or special-care

items by removing excess water.

1. Push in the Cycle Control Knob and turn

clockwise to Spin, as illustrated.

2. Pull out the Cycle Control Knob. The

washer drains, then spins.

Understanding normal washer sounds

Your new washer may make sounds that

your old one didn’t. Because the sounds are

unfamiliar, you may be concerned 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

for a small wash load, the water level in your

washer is lower. With this lower water level,

you may hear a clicking sound from the

upper portion of the agitator.

During drain

The rate that water is drained from your

washer depends on your installation. If water

is drained quickly from the washer, you may

hear air being pulled through the pump. This

happens 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 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.

The washer pauses briefly throughout

each cycle. These pauses are normal for

washer operation.

*The Permanent Press cycle partially

drains, fills, agitates briefly, and drains.
