    GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS

    For a grounded, cord-connectedwasher:

    This washer must be grounded. In theevent of a malfunction or breakdown,

    grounding will reduce the risk ofelectrical shock by providing a path ofleast resistance for electric current. Thiswasher is equipped with a cord havingan equipment-grounding conductor anda grounding plug. The plug must beplugged into an appropriate outlet thatis properly installed and grounded inaccordance with all local codes and

    ordinances.

    WARNING: Improper connection ofthe equipment-grounding conductor canresult in a risk of electric shock. Check

    with a qualified electrician or service-man if you are in doubt as to whetherthe appliance is properly grounded.De net modify the plug provided withthe appliance - if it will not fit the outlelhave a proper outlet installed by aqualified electrician.

    For a permanently connectedwasher;This washer must be connected to a

    grounded metal, permanent wiringsystem, or an equipment groundingconductor must be run with the circuitconductors and connected to theequipment-grounding terminal or leadon the appliance.

  • Before You Start3. Cut the shipping strap about 16 in,

    (40 cm) from plug end. Look for thewords "CUT HERE." Discard end withthe cotter pins, Slide remainder ofshipping strap from the powercord. You will use the remainder ofthe shipping strap later to secure thedrain hose.

    HOT • Work clothes • Best cleaning for heavily soited items111°F (44°C) • Sturdy whites/ • Removes oils, perspiration, greasy soilsor above colorfast pastels and stains

    • Diapers • Prevents graying or yellowing

    WARM • Dark/non-colorfast colors • Best for moderately soiied to lightly soiled items90°-110°F • Permanent press items • Safe for most fabric finishes(32°-43°C) • Nylon, polyester, acrylics, • Less fading and dye bleeding

    silks, woolens • Reduces wrinkling• Knits/delicate fabrics

    COLD* • Extra-sensitive colors • Best for very lightly soiled items70°-90°F • Non-colorfast items • Saves hot water(21°-32°C) • Hand washables

    *In wash water temperatures colder than 70°F (21°0), detergents do not dissolve well. Also,soils may be difficult to remove and some fabrics may retain wear wrinkles and haveincreased pilling -the formation of small lint-like balls on the surface of garments Pilling isthe natural result of wearing and washing of garments.

  • AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURECONTROL (ATC)

    ATC takes away the worry ofundissolved detergent and ensuresconsistent cleaning results fromseason to season with warm andcold washes,

    ATC electronically senses and maintainsa uniform water temperature byregulating incoming hot and cold water.

    • Even in cold wash, somewarm water is let into thewasher to maintain atemperature minimum of70°F (21°C). In very coldwater, detergent may notdissolve and clothes will

    m

    WARM 100"COLD

    l e COLD 70"COLD

    not be cleaned completely. • w_l®

    • Warm wash is regulatedat approximately 100°F(38°C). ATC does not control the hotwash water temperature.

    • Warm rinse is regulated at approxi-mately 75°F (24°C) for all warm rinsesettings. This may be a cooler warmrinse than what you are used to, but itsaves energy and still gives you properrinsing and a load that iscomfortable to remove.

    SPEEDS DESCRIPTIONSThis section illustrates and describesthe wash/spin speeds you can select withthe SPEEDS Control. Each speed settingis designed for different types of fabricsand soil levels. Your washer may have a4-position or a 5-position switch.

    HANDWASH PLUS FINE DELICATES(on some models)Use this speed setting for hand washableand special-care items. Garments arelabeled "Hand Wash" because:

    • The fiber or construction may besensitive to agitation.

    • The fabric contains sensitive dyesthat may bleed.

    The wash action mirrors the way youwould treat hand washable garments ina sink. It does this by repeating periodsof extra-slow speed agitation (5 sec-onds) and soaking (35 seconds). Slowspin speeds help reduce wrinkling. Donot use HAND WASHABLES for largeitems like blankets.

    NOTE: Some "Hand Wash" items,particularly wool, naturally shrink whenwashed either in the sink or in thewasher HAND WASHABLES Cycle.Keep this in mind when you purchaseitems labeled "Hand Wash." Items thatshrink should be dried flat. Block theseitems by gently stretching to originalmeasurements.

    HANDWASH/CASUALUse this speed setting for lingerie andloosely knit items. Setting combinesextra-slow speed agitation for gentle soilremoval and slow spin speeds to reducewrinkling.

    DELICATEUse this speed setting for washableknits and permanent press fabrics,Setting combines slow speed agitationfor gentle soil removal and slow spinspeeds to reduce wrinkling.

    NORMALUse this speed setting for normallysoiled cottons and linens. Settingcombines slow speed agitation and fastspin speeds to shorten drying time.

    HEAVY DUTY

    Use this speed setting for sturdy orheavily soiled loads. Setting combinesfast speed agitation and fast spinspeeds.

    • For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics,use the full time.

    • For light soil and delicate fabrics,use less time.

    PERMANENT PRESSI

    The PERMANENT PRESS I Cycleincludes a load cooling spray rinse thatreduces wrinkling compared to othercycles. You can select up to 10 minutesof wash time.

    ULTRA CLEAN

    Use this cycle for most loads to getbetween 4 and 14 minutes of wash time.

    PREWASH

    Use this cycle to get up to 4 minutesof agitation to help remove heavy soilsand stains that need pretreatment.PREWASH Cycle should be followedby an ULTRA CLEAN or PERMANENTPRESS Cycle with additional detergent.

    SOAK

    SOAK Cycle features 4 minutes ofagitation followed by an unlimited soaktime to help remove heavy soils andstains that need pretreatment. You willneed to reset the washer to a SPIN

    setting to remove water. SOAK Cycleshould be followed by an ULTRACLEAN, PERMANENT PRESS, orPREWASH Cycle with additionaldetergent.NOTE: We do not recommend hot water

    for soaking. It may set some stains.

    PERMANENT PRESSII

    The PERMANENT PRESS II Cycleincludes a load cooling processthat reduces wrinkling comparedto other cycles.

    You can select up to 10 minutes ofwash time.

    NOTE: When the timer reaches PAUSE,the washer will drain and pause for nomore than two minutes while some ofthe wash water is drained and replacedwith rinse water.

    DUAL ACTION TM PLUS OR

    TRIPLE ACTION TM AGITATOR

    The best cleaning action in yourwasher takes place at the bottomwhere the agitator vanes move backand forth to flex the fabric, looseningthe soil.

    To get all your clothes down to thebottom of the washer, the upper portionof the agitator has uniquely designed,spiral vanes to help push the clothesthat are on top down to the bottom,This spiraling action displaces theclothes that are on the bottom with a"roll-over" motion.

    TRIPLE ACTION TM agitator gives youthe most flexible fabric care for even

    your largest loads.

    The TRIPLE ACTION TM agitator movesin three directions, depending on loadsize, to ensure proper cleaning.

    For your largest loads,the TRIPLE ACTION TM

    agitator offers aload-sensing featurethat actually senseswhen you are washing avery large load andresponds with athird, verticalmotion thatsenses the load

    size and guidesitems to the bottom.

  • UNDERSTANDING NORMALWASHER SOUNDSYour new washer may make soundsthat your old one did not. Because thesounds are unfamiliar, you may beconcerned about them.

    The following describes some of thenormal sounds you may hear and whatcauses them.

    During WashingWhen you select a small load sizesetting for a small wash load, your wash-er has a lower water level. With thislower water level, you may hear a click-ing sound from the upper portion of theagitator.

    During DrainThe rate that water is drained from yourwasher depends on your installation. Ifwater is drained quickly from the washer,you may hear air being pulled throughthe pump. This happens during the endof draining.

    After Drain and Before SpinWhen the cycle changes from drainingto spinning, you may hear a noise as thegearcase shifts.

    USING THE LIQUID CHLORINEBLEACH DISPENSER

    Automatically dilutes bleach toensure the cleanest and brightestloads.

    Always measure liquid chlorinebleach. Use a measuring cup, do notguess. Do not pour directly from bottle.Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) fora full load. Use less with smaller loads.Follow manufacturer's directions for safeuse. A cup with a pouring spout will helpyou avoid spilling.

    After loading the washer, pourmeasured liquid chlorine bleachcarefully into the dispenser.

    • Do not let bleach splash, drip, or rundown into washer basket. Undilutedbleach will damage any fabric ittouches.

    • Start the washer. Bleach will be dilutedautomatically before it comes incontact with the wash load.

    NOTE: Do not use this dispenser to addpowdered chlorine or color-safe bleachto your wash load. The dispenser is forliquid chlorine bleach only.

  • USING THE LIQUID FABRICSOFTENER DISPENSER

    After loading the washer, measure andadd the recommended amount of fabricsoftener into the dispenser. Followmanufacturer's directions.

    NOTE: Pouring too much fabric softenerinto the dispenser will cause the fabricsoftener to dispense instantly into theload due to siphoning action. This instant"dump" could damage fabrics and willmake it appear that your dispenser is notworking correctly.

    To remove the Fabric SoftenerDispenser for cleaning:STEP 1. Pull the blue lock ring up,then remove dispenser from agitatorby pulling up.

    STEP 2. Flush the dispenser withwarm water.

    To replace the Fabric SoftenerDispenser:STEP 1. Be sure the blue lock ringis pulled up. Starting at an angle (seeillustration), push the bottom of thedispenser down on the agitator top,

    STEP 2. When the dispenser is seatedon the agitator, push the blue lock ringdown until it snaps in place. It must fittightly.

    Bluelockring

    • Add warm water to fill the dispenseruntil it reaches the crossed opening atthe bottom of the funnel-shapedportion of the dispenser,

    • Fabric softener is dispensed into thefirst deep rinse water automatically.

    NOTE: Fabric softeners are not com_patible with detergents. This dispensershould never be used in the PREWASHCycle since it would dispense fabricsoftener into a wash load that has notbeen rinsed. Undiluted fabric softenerspilled on fabric may result in spots thatlook like oil stains.

    If you ever use your dispenser this wayby mistake, rewash the load with extradetergent to remove these deposits.

    24

  • PREPARING CLOTHESFOR WASHING

    Follow these recommendations

    to help you prolong the life ofyour garments.

    • Close zippers, snaps, and hooks toavoid snagging other items. Removepins, buckles, and other hard objectsto avoid scratching the washer interior.Remove non-washable trim andornaments.

    • Empty pockets and turn theminside-out.

    • Turn down cuffs, brush away lintand dirt.

    • Turn synthetic knits inside out toavoid pilling.

    • Tie strings and sashes so they willnot tangle.

    • Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

    • Treat spots and stains.

    • Stained or wet garments should bewashed promptly for best results.

    SORTING

    • Separate heavily soiled items fromlightly soiled ones, even if they wouldnormally be washed together.Separate lint-givers (towels, chenille)from lint4akers (corduroy, synthetics,permanent press). When possible,turn lint-givers inside-out.

    • Separate dark colors from light colors,colorfast items from non-colorfastitems.

    •Sort by fabric and construction (sturdycottons, knits, delicate items).

    25

  • LOADING

    Ir _'j_itm_l ;[q i[q I'["

    Proper loading of your washercontributes to proper cleaning andfabric care and reduces machinenoise.

    • Drop items into washer loosely, Fill tothe top of the basket (top row of holes).Do not wrap items around the agitator,Items should move easily through washwater for best cleaning and wrinkle4reeresults. Items should sink and reappearlater.

    • Load washer properly and selectcorrect water level setting, Overloadingor packing the machine, and selecting asetting too small for the wash load can:

    - cause poor cleaning- increase wrinkling- create excessive lint

    - wear out items faster(because of pilling)

    • Load by the amount of space itemstake up, not by their weight.

    • Mix large and small items in each load.Load evenly to maintain washerbalance, An off-balance load can makethe washer vibrate during spin,

    • Use a higher water level setting toreduce wrinkling with permanent pressclothes and some synthetic knits.These items should have more roomto move in the water than heavy items(towels, jeans).

    • Reduce wash time by using a lowerwater level setting. Loads with only afew small items need less wash time.

    LOADING SUGGESTIONS

    For these suggested full-sized loads,set the Water Level Selector to thehighest water level setting.

  • CLEANING YOURWASHER

    Proper care of your washer can extendits life. This section explains how to carefor your washer properly.

    Exterior

    Wipe up detergent, bleach, and otherspills with a soft, damp cloth or spongeas they occur. Occasionally wipe the out-side of the washer to keep it looking likenew.

    Do not put sharp or metal objects in yourwasher. They can damage the finish.Check all pockets for pins, clips, money,bolts, nuts, etc. Do not lay these objectson your washer after emptying pockets.

    Interior

    Clean interior with 1 cup (250 mL) ofchlorine bleach mixed with 2 cups (500mL) of detergent. Run washer through acomplete cycle using hot water. Repeatprocess if necessary.

    NOTE: Remove hard water depositsusing only cleaners labeled as washersafe.

    Water Inlet Hoses

    Replace inlet hoses after five years ofuse to reduce the risk of hose failure.Periodically inspect and replace inlethoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear orleaks are found. When replacing yourinlet hoses, mark the date of replace-ment on the label with a permanentmarker.

    WINTER STORAGE

    OR MOVING CARE

    Install and store your washer where itwill not freeze. Because some watermay stay in the hoses and pump,freezing can damage your washer. Ifstoring or moving your washer duringfreezing weather, winterize it.

    To winterize washer:

    1. Shut off both water faucets,

    2. Disconnect and drain water inlethoses.

    3. Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreezein the basket.

    4. Run washer on a SPIN setting forabout 30 seconds to mix theanti-freeze and water. Some of themixture will pump out while thewasher spins.

    5. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

    To use washer again:

    1. Flush water pipes and hoses.2. Reconnect water inlet hoses.

    3. Turn on both water faucets.

    4. Plug in washer or reconnect power.

    5. Run the washer through a completecycle with 1 cup (250 mL) ofdetergent to clean out antifreeze.

    NON-USE OR VACATION CARE

    Operate your washer only when youare at home. If you will be on vacation ornot using your washer for anextended period of time, you should:

    • Unplug washer or disconnect power.

    • Turn off the water supply to thewasher. This helps avoid accidentalflooding (due to a water pressuresurge) while you are away.
