WARNING

Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, located in your appliance’s Owner’s Manual, before operating this appliance.

Step 1. Add HE detergent
NOTE: See the “Adding Laundry Products” section for more information on adding HE detergent, fabric softener, and/or bleach.
Designed to use only HE High Efficiency detergents.

ADDING LAUNDRY PRODUCTS

IMPORTANT: Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component malfunction and, over  time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.

Adding HE detergent to basket:
Add a measured amount of HE detergent or single-dose laundry packets into the basket. If using Oxi-type boosters, color safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals, add to the  bottom of the washer basket before adding clothes.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of laundry products to use.
Adding liquid chlorine bleach:
Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (236 mL).
Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

Adding liquid fabric softener to dispenser:
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into dispenser; always follow manufacturer’s directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Dilute  liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches the underside of the rim. See Max Fill line arrows.

IMPORTANT: The rinse option One with Softener must be selected to ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle. 

IMPORTANT: Retain this guide for future use.

Press to access an instant water stream. Use this feature to pretreat clothes and other items right in the washer. You can also use this feature to manually add water to the  machine as desired.
NOTE: The washer will drain at the beginning of the cycle if a large volume of water is detected to ensure the machine can correctly sense the load size.
NOTE: If the washer detects an out-of-balance condition it may pause and attempt and re-distribute the load. During this time the Sensing Fill and Washing status indicators will both briefly illuminate.
WARNING: Do not wash water-resistant or water repellant-type clothing. Failure to closely follow these instructions may result in an abnormal vibrating and out-of-balance  condition that could result in physical injury, property damage, and/or appliance damage.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT CYCLE

A cycle guide for your washer can be found online at www.crosley.com. The document will help identify which cycle to choose for various load types as well as the default  cycle options. For example we recommend using the MEDIUM SOIL NORMAL cycle with Warm water for cottons, linens and mixed garment loads.

PRE-TREATING

• Press the Faucet button once to turn on and press again to turn off.
• Faucet will automatically shut off after 10 minutes or when max water level is reached.
• Water will automatically drain if water level becomes too high. Water will also drain after 10 minutes if the lid is left open or 3 hours if the lid is left closed.

AUTO SENSING AND DEEP FILL

• The washer will adjust the water level to the optimal amount for a High Efficiency wash of the detected load size.
• Press DEEP FILL to automatically add more water to your wash cycle.
• It is recommended to use BULKY cycle with DEEP FILL option for loads where maximum water level is desired..
• Expect longer cycle times due to extended fill duration when using the DEEP FILL option.

CLEANING WITH LESS WATER

The washer has been designed and optimized to provide a thorough cleaning using less water to conserve energy and resources.
As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the items will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not indicate that more items should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a full basket of water as with older, less efficient washing machines. It is normal for some of the load to be above the water line.
For detailed installation instruction and maintenance information, winter storage, and transportation tips, please see the Owner’s Manual included with your machine.
