WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your washer, follow these basic precautions:

• Read all instructions before using the washer.
• Install the washer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to the EARTH/GROUND INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connection of the washer. All connections for water, drain, electrical power and earth/ground must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not add the following substances or textiles containing traces of the following substances to the wash water: gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils, dry-cleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners or other flammable or explosive substances. These substances give off vapors that could ignite, explode or cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.
• 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 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. THE GAS IS FLAMMABLE, DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.
• To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to connect the washer to the electrical power source.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they h

Safety Information

• Never operate the washer with any guards, panels and/or parts removed or broken. DO NOT tamper with the controls or bypass any safety devices.
• DO NOT operate individual units if they have been separated from a stack unit.
• Use your washer only for its intended purpose, washing clothes. Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.
• Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep them out of the  reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked cabinet). Heed all warnings or precautions.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
• Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is to fill, tumble or spin. DO NOT bypass the loading door switch by permitting the washer to operate with the  loading door open.
• Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.
• Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or dropping the washer can damage safety features. If this occurs, have your washer checked by a qualified service person.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the usermaintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical supply before attempting any service.
• Disconnect the  power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly  qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid or door to the washing compartment.
• Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this washer according to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

Operation

Before Washing
Prepare Wash Load
Empty Pockets and Cuffs
Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside out.
One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail or sharp object in a load can catch laundry, cause tears and plug the pump. Facial tissue left in a pocket will produce extreme “lint”. A crayon or lipstick in a wash load may cause stains that cannot be removed.
Roll down cuffs and shake out grass, sand and gravel.Mend Rips and Tears
Little holes can become bigger in the washer. Mend holes and tears before placing garments in the washer.
Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks These can catch on garments in a wash load and tear them.
Tie belts and sashes so they won’t wind around clothes.
Put Small Items in Bag Small items such as baby socks may get stuck around the door. Put them inside a mesh garment bag.
Check For Colorfastness Squeeze a portion of garment in warm or hot sudsy water.
If the color bleeds or runs, wash the item separately in cold water.
Sort Items
Different items use different wash cycles and temperatures.
Always follow the manufacturer’s care label. Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few guidelines:

1. Sort by Color: Separate items into loads of whites, darks, lights and non-colorfast.
2.  Sort by Fabric and Construction: Separate items into loads of cottons/linens, permanent press, synthetics/blends/ poly knits, and delicates.
3. Sort by Temperature: Separate items into loads that can be washed in cold, warm or hot water.
4. Sort by Type and Amount of Soil: Heavily soiled clothes will need extra treatment. Lightly soiled clothes can become dingy if washed with heavily soiled items.
5. Sort Lint “Shedders” From Lint “Receivers”: Some fabrics attract lint and should not be washed with lint-shedding loads. Lint shedders are cottons, terry towels, chenille bedspreads, rugs and clothes that have been heavily bleached. Lint receivers are synthetics, permanent or durable press, knits (including socks), corduroy, and other smooth fabrics.

Pretreat
Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pretreat product or liquid detergent when placing them in the washer. Before washing, treat special stains individually.
WARNING
Do not wash or dry items soiled with vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils may remain after washing and may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.

Loading the Washer
Load Articles

• Load items by the amount of space they take up, not by heir weight. Mix large and small items in a load to get the best washing results.
• Load items loosely into the wash drum. The bulk of the clothes rather than the weight will determine load size.

Bulky Items
Use the Bedding cycle for bulky items such as blankets and comforters. The cycle includes gentle agitation to clean items delicately and thoroughly. The Extra Rinse(s) option  may be selected to ensure complete removal of soap residue. A final spin extracts the moisture at a lower speed to maintain the load’s balance and minimize wear to the articles.
Load Sizes

• Load sizes vary. Small and large items should be washed together to create a balanced load. If washing a large item, two bath towels should be added to even the load.
• Smaller loads can create an unbalanced condition and cause premature wear on the washer. Do not hesitate to fill the entire inner drum of the washer. The load will  compress a great deal when wet. This allows room for proper tumbling.

Water Level

• The washer will automatically adjust the water level to the type and size of the load during any fill.

Wash Temperature
Hot
Hot water is the most effective for cleaning, but it is not recom­mended for all fabric types (read labels).

Warm
The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough cleaning on light and moderately soiled clothing without damaging fabric or adding to color fading. Warm water also reduces wrinkling. Use with non-colorfast or dark colors. permanent press, silks, woolens, nylon. and acrylic.

Cool (Select Models Only)
The Cool Wash temperature is useful for washing permanent press fabrics.

Cold
The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although its cleaning abilities are not as great as with hot or warm water, it is useful for colors that bleed easily and for sensitive fabrics.
All rinses use cold water. It is the most beneficial for fabrics. Cold rinses reduce wrinkling and color fading. In addition. cold rinses will save money and energy.
NOTE: In wash temperatures colder than 60T [16″C] , detergents do not dissolve well. This may cause inef­fective cleaning, or lint and residue to form.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.

Energy
You can save energy when washing by following these guidelines:

1. Heating water accounts for the greatest energy expense when washing. Save on heating water by using warm or cold washes.
2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.
3. Use Soak option for heavily soiled items to reduce the need for higher soil level selections.

To Wash Clothes
IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer, make sure the washer cord is connected to an appropriate electrical outlet that is properly installed and connected to a  protective earth/ground. Make sure the washer hoses are connected to the hot and cold water faucets, and that the faucets are turned on. Be sure the drain hose is not kinked  and is inserted into a drain. Refer to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for details of  proper washer installation.
IMPORTANT: Prior to first wash, use an all purpose cleaner, or a detergent and water solution, and a damp cloth to remove shipping dust from inside of wash drum.

1. Get the clothes ready for washing. Empty pockets and  cuffs. Sort items into separate loads. Pretreat stains and  heavily soiled areas.
   IMPORTANT: Remove all sharp objects from laundry to avoid tears and rips to items during normal machine operation.

2. Measure and add low sudsing, high efficiency (HE) detergent, fabric softener and bleach to the dispenser drawer. Refer to section on Using Your Dispenser Drawer. Follow instructions on detergent package for amount to use.
   NOTE: High efficiency (HE) detergents are designed especially for frontload washers to reduce oversudsing and maximize cleaning results. Look for the HE logo or “high  efficiency” on the detergent’s label. IMPORTANT: If using non-HE detergent, avoid oversudsing by using only 1/2 of the detergent manufacturer’s recommended amount.
   IMPORTANT: If using single-load laundry detergent packets or 3-in-1 laundry sheets, do not place them in the dispenser drawer. Place them directly in the washtub  with clothes.

3. Load clothes into wash drum (21.5 pounds maximum dry clothes load). Refer to section on Load Sizes.
   NOTE: Small items such as baby socks may get caught around the door. Place these articles inside a mesh garment bag.

4. Close the loading door tightly. The washer will not operate with the loading door open. WARNING
   To reduce the risk of serious injury, do not bypass the loading door switch by permitting the washer to tumble or spin with the loading door open.

5. If not already on (control lights will be lit), turn on the washer. Press the Power button to turn on the washer.
   NOTE: You will not be able to press the Start/ Pause button to start a cycle until five seconds after turning on the washer. A status light will flash during this warm-up period.

6. Select the cycle according to the type of fabric being washed. If the selected cycle is not the correct cycle for the fabric being washed, you may change the cycle selection
   at any time until the first wash fill is complete.
   NOTE: The Normal cycle is recommended for everyday cottons and linens.

7. If desired change the Selections and Options settings.

8. Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The Door Lock light will come on after a short delay and the cycle will begin.
   NOTE: If the door is open when trying to start a cycle, the display will show “do” and cycle time (1 second on/1 second off).

If items need to be added or removed after a cycle has started, press the Start/Pause button.
After the door unlocks and the Door Lock light goes out, open the door to add or remove laundry.
While a cycle is paused, the display will show the cycle time remaining and St to restart the cycle. Close the door and press the Start/Pause button to resume the cycle.
The Door Lock light will flash while the door re-locks.

NOTE: If water needs to be removed before opening the door, run a Spin cycle to pump water out of the washer.
Out of Balance Load
If at the end of the cycle the load is dripping wet, the washer has limited the spin speed. This is to prevent damage to the unit if there is a severely unbalanced load. If this  condition occurs, redistribute the load manually and run a SPIN cycle. If the condition persists, consider steps discussed in the Before Washing section.

Cycle Operation

The cycles of your washer include several different stages. Refer to the table below for what can be expected during the cycles that you select.
The washer operates by gently tumbling the clothing through the water. The wash action consists of a period of tumbling in one direction, a brief pause, and then a reverse  tumble in the opposite direction. The pauses are part of the tumble action and add to the unique cleaning capabilities of the washer. They are part of the cycle.
The wash and rinse spins utilize a “ramp spin” action. The wash drum starts rotating clockwise at a low speed and then gradually spins up to higher speeds to efficiently extract water.
The cycle stages are dependent on the cycle, selections and options chosen.
The times listed are approximate and will vary depending on the selections and options chosen.
NOTE: The rinse water temperature will be cold, including when optional rinses are selected.
NOTE: If No Spin is selected, all spin stages are one minute of drain and tumble.

Using Your Dispenser Drawer

1. Main Wash Detergent
2. Liquid Bleach
3. Fabric Softener
4. Pre-Wash and Stain Boost Detergent

Detergent Compartments The detergent compartments are located on the right side of the dispenser drawer. The front compartment is for detergent used in the main wash. Refer to compartment 1 of illustration. If a Pre-Wash or Stain Boost option is selected, liquid wash detergent added to the main wash compartment may run into the load during the Pre-Wash or Stain Boost interval. To avoid this, use powdered detergent in the main wash compartment when selecting a Pre-Wash or Stain Boost option. The rear compartment can be filled with detergent for the Pre-Wash or Stain Boost options if one is selected on the control panel. Refer to compartment 4 of Figure 1 . Use low sudsing, high efficiency (HE) powdered or liquid detergents that are recommended for use with frontload washers. Powdered bleach can also be used in the dispenser along with the detergent.

NOTE: High efficiency (HE) detergents are designed especially for frontload washers to reduce oversudsing and maximize cleaning results. Look for the HE logo or “high  efficiency” on the detergent’s label.
NOTE: If using non-HE detergent, avoid oversudsing by using only 1/2 of the detergent manufacturer’s recommended amount.
IMPORTANT: If using single-load laundry detergent packets or 3-in-1 laundry sheets, do not place them in the dispenser drawer. Place them directly in the washtub with clothes.
When adding detergent, use only the recommended amount.
Do not fill the compartment over the maximum level indicated on the drawer. Adding too much detergent or using regular sudsing detergent could result in an oversudsing  condition, which would require additional rinsing with cold water. Use care when adding detergent so as not to spill into the other compartments. Detergent mixed with  fabric softener can make the softener gummy.
NOTE: The normal level of suds should be below center of the door.
IMPORTANT: Tablets used to clean and/or deodorize the washer should not go in the dispenser drawer. Instead, put them directly into the empty washtub.
Liquid Bleach Compartment
The bleach compartment is located in the left front corner of the dispenser drawer. Refer to compartment 2 of illustration. It has been designed to prevent the dispensing of  undiluted bleach onto the clothes load.
Use liquid bleach in the dispenser. Powdered bleach must not be used in this compartment. Powdered bleach can be used in the detergent compartment only and can be  added along with the detergent.
DO NOT use more than the maximum level indicated for the bleach compartment. Adding more than the maximum amount could result in early dispensing of the product  and possible damage to fabrics.
Carefully pour recommended amount of bleach into the compartment before starting wash load.
Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach. It is a strong chemical and can damage some fabrics if it is not properly diluted. Follow bleach manufacturer’s label for proper use.
Carefully close dispenser drawer. Do not allow bleach to spill into other compartments.
Fabric Softener Compartment
The fabric softener compartment is located in the left rear corner of the dispenser drawer.
Refer to compartment 3 of illustration.
Use no more than the maximum level indicated for the fabric softener compartment. Adding more than the maximum amount could result in early dispensing of the product  and possible staining of fabrics.

Add fabric softener to compartment before beginning wash load. The fabric softener will be dispensed during the last rinse stage of the cycle.
Carefully close dispenser drawer. Do not allow softener to spill into other compartments.
To Remove the Dispenser Drawer
Pull the drawer out until it stops. Then press the tab under the drawer to release and remove it.
To Clean the Dispenser
Pour hot water into the dispenser drawer, making sure it flushes through each compartment. Use a small brush to thoroughly clean out any residue.

Clothing Care

Clothing Concerns
To keep clothes looking white or bright, use good washing practices at all times to prevent a gradual build-up of soil or water hardness minerals on them. If you notice that your clothes are not as bright as they should be, take corrective measures immediately.

suds- ing detergent to dispenser drawer be- fore loading clothes.
Mild detergents are not suitable for average soil.
Improper Sorting| Wash whites separately. Separate light from heavily soiled items. Clothes can pick up soil from dirty wash water.
Nonphosphate Detergent and Hard Wa- ter| Follow package directions. Soften water if possible.
Water Not Hot Enough| White clothes will stay whiter with hot wash water. Increase temperature.
 |
Yellowed Clothes| Unremoved Soil| Skin soil is hard to remove. Check hem edge of sheets and pillowcases, bottom end of t-shirts, etc. If this portion is white and center is yellow, the fabric contains unremoved soil. Use sufficient detergent and a hot wash. Chlorine bleach may be needed.
Clothes Stained from Iron in the Water| To test for an iron stain, use a rust re- mover that is recommended for use with washing machines on a portion of the garment. Follow bottle directions for larger items.
Older Clothes| Some white fabrics turn yellow with age and cannot be whitened.
Clothes Tearing or Damaged| Improper Use of Chlorine Bleach| No correction for bleach damaged clothes.

Always keep level at or below maximum in bleach dispenser compartment.

Insufficient Precare| Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend tears. Remove objects from pockets.
 |
Problem| Cause| Solution
---|---|---
Excessive Lint| Improper Sorting| Fabrics that shed lint cannot be wash- ed with fabrics that receive lint.
Insufficient Detergent/Non-phosphate Detergent| Use enough detergent so lint remains suspended in water and flushed out. Do not oversuds the water.
Mixing Fabric Types| Knits and permanent press attract lint. Wash these only with similar items.
Use fabric softener in dispenser drawer.
Wrinkling| Improper Sorting| Heavy items like towels should not be washed with light items like night- gowns.
Improper Cycle| Make sure cycle selected is appropriate for type of clothes.
Improper Temperature| Using a warm or cold wash and a cold rinse reduces wrinkling.

Maintenance

Lubrication
All moving parts are sealed in a permanent supply of lubricant or are equipped with oilless bearings. Additional lubrication will not be necessary. Do not lubricate the door hinge. If the hinge makes noise, replace the hinge.

Cold Weather
Care If the unit is delivered on a cold day (below freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area during the cold months, do not attempt to operate the washer until it has had a chance to warm up. Water from the previous cycle may remain.

Care of Your Washer
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel.
Some cleaning products may harm the finish on the control panel or damage the interior. DO NOT use products that contain alcohol on the control panel. Wipe the panel dry after cleaning.
Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach or other washing products are spilled on the cabinet, wipe immediately. Some products will cause permanent damage  if spilled on the cabinet.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on control panel or cabinet.
The outside of the door window can be cleaned with household window cleaner.
Leave the door and dispenser drawer open slightly when not in use. This will help keep them dry and prevent musty smells.
Use the Tub Clean cycle regularly to clean the wash drum.
