5. 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.

6. 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 is a safety rule for all

appliances. This appliance is not intended for

use by young children or infirm persons

without supervision. Young children should be

supervised to ensure that they do not play

with the appliance.

7. Before the washer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to the washing

compartment.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash

drum is moving.

9. Do not install or store the washer where it

will be exposed to water and/or weather.

10. Do not tamper with the controls.

11. Do not repair or replace any part of the

washer, or attempt any servicing unless

specifically recommended in the user-

maintenance instructions or in published

user-repair instructions that you

understand and have the skills to carry out.

12. 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.

13. Use your washer only for its intended

purpose, washing clothes.

14. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from

electrical supply before attempting any

16. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes which have

traces of any flammable substances such as

vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil,

flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or

anything containing wax or chemicals such

as in mops and cleaning cloths, must not be

put into the washer. These flammable

substances may cause the fabric to catch

on fire by itself.

17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or

product.

18. 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.

19. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.

20. 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

changes from what is normally heard, call an

authorized service agent immediately to

prevent possible damage to other

components.

24. Never start a cycle and leave the property

without first checking to make sure the wash

cycle is complete.

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 and

cause tears. 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.

Sorting 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. Refer to Stain Removal section for

procedures on treating specific stains.

Loading the Washer

Load Articles

•Load items by the amount of space they

take up, not by their 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.

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

Boosted Hot Water (on select models only)

The Boosted Hot Wash will boost the water

temperature in the tub to 140°F (60°C) and is

useful for improved cleaning of some loads. The

red HEATING light will light up when heating. The

cycle will not advance until 140°F (60°C) has been

reached.

The time needed to reach this temperature may

add an additional 30 to 60 minutes to the cycle

time. Hot water is the most effective for cleaning

but it is not recommended for all fabric types

(read labels).

NOTE: The Boosted Hot Wash can be turned off

by changing the cycle selector knob to OFF and

restarting a cycle with a different water

temperature setting.

Hot Water

The Hot Wash temperature is determined by the

actual temperature of the hot water supplied to

the washer. For models with Boosted Hot Wash,

the heater element will not be on. Hot water is the

most effective for cleaning, but it is not

recommended for all fabric types (read labels).

Warm Water

The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough

cleaning on lightly soiled clothing without

damaging fabric or adding to color fading.

The Warm Rinse is useful in preventing wrinkles on

certain fabrics. Check labels for fabric

manufacturer’s recommendations.

Cold Water

The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items.

Although its cleaning abilities are not as great

with hot or warm water, it is useful for colors that

bleed easily and for sensitive fabrics.

The Cold Rinse is optional in every cycle and 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 60oF

(15oC), detergents do not dissolve well. This

may cause ineffective cleaning, or lint and

residue to form.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.

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.

Instructions for proper voltage and Hertz the

washer is designed to operate on. Refer to

Contact Information section for nameplate

location. 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.

detergent’s label.

IMPORTANT: If using detergents made for

topload washers, avoid oversudsing by using

only 1/4 cup regular detergent (1/2 of the

recommended amount).

3. Load clothes into wash drum. (18 pounds

[8.1 kg] 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
