this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following. · Use this
appliance only for its intended purpose as
described in this Use & Care Guide. · Before use, the washer must be properly
installed as
described in this manual. · 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 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 2 weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for
such a period, before using the washer, 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 supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near
children. A child might become trapped inside the washer and suffocate. ·
Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid to
prevent children from climbing inside. · Do not install or store the washer
where it will be exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures.
· Do not tamper with controls. · Keep the area underneath and around your
appliances
free of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals
and other flammable vapors and liquids. · Service must be performed by a
qualified service technician. Do not disassemble the washer. · See
Installation Instructions for grounding requirements. · WARNING : This product
contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. · ALWAYS follow
the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer. · Do not
place items exposed to cooking oil in your washer. Items contaminated with
cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to
catch fire. · Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only as
recommended by the manufacturer. · This washer is not designed for maritime
use or for mobile installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc. · Turn off the
water faucets and unplug the washer if the machine is to be left for an
extended period of time, such as during vacations. · Do not use to dry
articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials. ·

· Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.
CONNECTING THE PEDESTAL WASHER DRAIN HOSE
OPTION 1: STANDPIPE Bend the outlet end of the drain hoses to form a U shape. Insert the end of the drain connector into the drain. Use the three tie straps included with the installation materials in the foam block in the tub to secure the drain hoses to each other and to the drain. See Overview of Connections for details. If your drain is a standpipe, fasten the drain hoses to the standpipe with the tie strap provided.
1. Insert the band clamp (included in packing box) on to the drain hose
elbow.
Band Clamp
2. With the hose leading up from the elbow, insert the elbow onto the drain outlet on the back of the pedestal washer.
3. Adjust the band clamp with pliers to keep the hose securely in place and
prevent leaking.
Band Clamp
USING THE DRAIN CONNECTOR Connect the drain hose of the full-size washer and
the pedestal washer to the drain connector. Insert the included wire hose
clamps on to the ends of the two drain hoses. Push the drain hoses firmly onto
the drain connector. Adjust the wire hose clamps to prevent the hoses from
coming loose or leaking. Failure to do so could result in flooding. Use of the
drain connector helps avoid siphoning, odors, or improper draining.
Drain Hose
NOTE: · Normal height of the end of the hoses should be
approximately 35″~47″ (90~120 cm) from the floor. · Do not install the end of
the drain hoses lower than 29″
(73.7 cm) or higher than 96 in. (243.8 cm) above the bottom of the washer or
more than 60 in. (152.4 cm) away from the washer. · Never create an airtight
seal between the hoses and the drain with tape or other means. If no air gap
is present, water can be siphoned out of the tub resulting in poor wash/rinse
performance or clothing damage. · For best performance, if there is an
additional drain hose from a hybrid dryer, place the drain hose in the
standpipe next to the drain connector. · If the standpipe is too narrow to fit
both the drain connector and the dryer drain hose, the dryer drain hose may be
inserted up to 3/4 in. into the center channel of the drain connector. See
Overview of Connections, page 10.
CAUTION: · Inserting the dryer drain hose farther than 3/4 in. will
cause leaking and improper draining.
OPTION 2: LAUNDRY TUB Bend the end of the drain hoses to the desired shape and
support them on the edge of the laundry tub. Use the tie strap to secure the
drain hoses in place.

SORTING WASH LOADS
CAUTION Do not load items higher than the top edge of the tub.
Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage or damage to fabrics. Use
the Bedding cycle in the full-size washer for buoyant or nonabsorbent items
such as pillows or comforters. Refer to owner’s manual included with washing
machine. Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage.
HOW TO USE
Fabric Care Labels Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label.
Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option selections to care for your
clothing according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Fabric Care Labels
Grouping Similar Items For the best washing results, and to reduce the
possibility of damage to clothing, sort the clothing into loads that are made
up of similar items.
Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash
performance, color transfer, discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Sort
fabrics into groups as described below.
Colors Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in a separate load
from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can result
in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.
Soil Level Wash heavily soiled clothing in the full-sized washer. Washing
lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing could
result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing. The pedestal
washer is optimized for use with lightly soiled and delicate items.
Fabric Type Do not mix delicate items with heavier or sturdier fabrics.
Washing heavier fabrics in a delicate load can result in poor wash performance
for the heavier fabrics and possible damage to the delicate items.
Lint Type Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off
lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint
producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics results in pilling and
linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector–knit sweater;
lint producer–terry cloth towels.)
Loading the Washer · Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty.
Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both the washer
and the clothes. · Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these
items from snagging or tangling on other clothes. · Pretreat heavily stained
areas for best results. · To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash
single items. Add one or two similar items to the load. Large, bulky items,
such as a blanket, comforter, or bedspread, should be washed individually in
the full-size washer. · The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open.
· Don’t overload the tub. Clothes should fit loosely in the tub under the
maximum fill line. Loading clothes over the fill line may result in damage to
clothing and the washer.
CAUTION Close the lid until it clicks before sliding the drawer in to
begin the cycle. Press to open the lid. Do not force the lid of the washing
machine open. Doing so may damage the machine.

HOW TO USE
DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE
A WORD ABOUT DETERGENTS High-Efficiency (HE) detergents produce fewer suds,
dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help
to keep the interior of your washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may
cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error
codes, cycle failure, and machine damage.
Max load (2 tsp., 10 g)
Normal (1 tsp., 5 g)
This machine requires very little detergent. For proper wash performance,
always use the dispenser and measuring device provided with the machine. The
dispenser holds a maximum of 2 teaspoons (10g/10cc) of HE detergent. Most
normal loads require only 1 teaspoon (5g/5cc) of detergent, or filling the
dispenser to the halfway line. Do not use a full detergent pod in the pedestal
washer. Using too much detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory
performance. Reduce detergent amount or add an extra rinse if detergent
residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra rinse, press the Extra Rinse
button.
DESIGNED TO USE ONLY HIGH-EFFICIENCY (HE) DETERGENT
NOTE: · Extra care must be exercised when using 2X and 3X
concentrated detergents because even a little bit extra can contribute to the
problems mentioned above. · Detergents designated as HE compatible may not
provide optimal results.
USING THE DETERGENT 1 Slide the drawer open, open the lid, and add the
garments into the tub.
2 Measure the detergent with the detergent dispenser and pour it into the tub.
3 Close the lid, slide the drawer closed, and press the START/PAUSE button to
start the cycle.
NOTE: Liquid chlorine bleach or powdered bleach cannot be used in the pedestal
washer. To use bleach, use the full-size washer and follow instructions in the
owner’s manual for that machine.
IMPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach,
or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills
immediately. These products can damage the finish and controls.
USING BLEACH Do not use liquid chlorine bleach or powdered bleach in the
pedestal washer. To bleach items, use the full-size washer and follow the
instructions in the owner’s manual included with that machine.
IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use with only High-Efficiency
(HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for High-
Efficiency washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE
symbol when purchasing detergent.
IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Pay careful attention to the
amount of detergent used to avoid oversudsing, poor rinsing and detergent
buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the
machine. The maximum measure on the dispenser provided should only be used for
very large loads. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in
the washer and in your clothes.
Always measure the detergent amount. While HE detergents are designed for this
type of washing machine, be careful when measuring the detergent. For most
normal loads, no more than 1 teaspoon or half the provided dispenser/measuring
device of HE detergent should be used.
USING FABRIC SOFTENER The pedestal washer chimes repeatedly before the final
rinse so liquid fabric softener can be added to the load, if desired. Use 1/4
the amount of softener recommended by the manufacturer for a normal load. When
the machine chimes, press Start/Pause to pause the cycle.
1 Slide the drawer open, open the lid, and add the liquid fabric softener to
the detergent dispenser. The softener can also be diluted with water and added
directly into the tub. Do not pour undiluted softener directly onto clothing
because it may stain fabrics.
2 Close the lid, slide the drawer closed, and press Start/Pause to restart the
cycle.
3 To disable or enable the fabric softener alert, press and hold the Warm
Water and Extra Rinse buttons at the same time for three seconds.
If you miss the softener add point:
1 Press the Power button to interrupt the cycle.
2 Select the Rinse & Spin cycle and press Start/Pause to start the cycle.
3 Add the fabric softener at the chimes following instructions above.

TROUBLESHOOTING FAQS: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q:
Can the pedestal washer and the front-loading washer be run at the same time?
A:
Yes. The pedestal washer is designed to operate simultaneously under compatible Kenmore front-
loading washers produced after 2009. It is not designed for operation under Kenmore top-loading
washers, Kenmore dryers, non-compatible appliances, or as a standalone unit.
For more information regarding compatibility, see the pedestal washer product pages at the website www.Kenmore.com
Q:
How much clothing can be loaded in the pedestal washer?
A:
The tub is designed to hold a maximum of 4 lb. (One thick bath towel weighs about one pound when
dry.) Do not overload the washer tub. The clothing should fit loosely into the tub and the lid should
close easily.
How much detergent, softener, or bleach should be used per load? Q:
How/when is it added to the machine?
A:
Detergent:
· The pedestal washer requires very little detergent. Most normal loads only require 1 tsp (5 g) of HE
detergent. Use a maximum of 2 tsp (10 g) of HE detergent. Do not use a full detergent pod.
· Pour the detergent in the measuring device/dispenser provided with the machine. Place the
dispenser in the tub with the clothing before beginning the cycle.
· If the dispenser is missing, place the 12 tsp. (510 g) detergent directly into the tub.
· For more information, see Detergent and Dispenser Use.
Fabric Softener: · Use ¼ the amount recommended by the manufacturer for a normal load. Use the dispenser provided with the machine. For instructions, see Using Fabric Softener.
Bleach: · Do not use liquid or powdered bleach to launder items in the pedestal washer. To safely and effectively launder items using bleach, use the bleach dispenser in the front-loading washer.
Q:
Can I slide the drawer out while the cycle is running?
A:
No. The drawer locks for safety during operation. Pause the cycle to open the drawer.
Q:
What if I want to add an item after I’ve started the cycle?
A:
Press the Start/Pause button to pause the cycle. After the drawer unlocks, add the item and press
Start/Pause to restart the cycle. Wash performance may be affected if the item is added after the
first few minutes.
Q:
How do I dry out the tub after the cycle is finished?
How do I keep the tub free from mildew and odors?
A:
For best care, wipe the lid and tub dry with a soft cloth or towel after use. Leave the drawer and the
lid open to allow maximum air circulation after use. Run the Clean Washer cycle once a month or
more frequently as needed. TCL is displayed after every 30 cycles as a reminder.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
The following sounds may be heard while the washer is operating. They are
normal.
WATER SLOSHING SOUND:
A liquid in the balance ring around the wash basket helps the basket spin
smoothly.
CLICKING: Lid lock relay when the lid locks and unlocks.
SPRAYING OR HISSING: Water spraying or circulating during the cycle.
HUMMING OR GURGLING: Drain pump is pumping water from the washer at times
during a cycle.
SOUND OF WATER BEING ADDED AFTER THE WASHER HAS ALREADY BEEN IN OPERATION
The washer adapts to the load size and type to add more water to the cycle as
needed.
The wash load may be unbalanced. If the washer senses that the load is
unbalanced, it will stop and refill to redistribute the load.
The washer may be diluting laundry additives to add to the wash load.

House drain pipes are clogged.
The washer pumps out water very rapidly. Check for water backing up out of the drain pipe during drain. If water is seen coming out of the drain, check for proper drain hose installation and check for restrictions in the drain. Contact a plumber to repair drain pipe.
Drain hose has come out of drain connector or is not inserted far enough.
Tie drain hose to inlet hose or standpipe to prevent it from coming out during drain. For smaller drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the pipe as far as the drain hose flange. For larger drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the pipe 1-2 inches past the flange.
Load is too large for the tub.
Reduce the load or use the full-size washing machine. Use the BULKY/ BEDDING cycle on the front-loading washer for large or bulky items.
Stop the washer and check the load. Make sure the load fits loosely in the tub and the lid closes easily.
