– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

•Read all instructions before using

the washer.

•Do not wash articles that have

been previously cleaned in,

washed in, soaked in, or spotted

with gasoline, dry-cleaning

solvents, 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, hydro-

gen gas may be produced in a

hot water system that has not

been used for 2 weeks or more.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLO-

SIVE. If the hot water system has

not been used for such a period,

before using a washing machine,

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 supervi-

sion of children is necessary

when the washer is used near

children.

•Before the washer is removed

from service or discarded, re-

move the door.

•Do not reach into the washer if

the tub or agitator is moving.

•Do not install or store the washer

where it will be exposed to the

weather.

•Do not tamper with controls.

•Do not repair or replace any part

of the washer or attempt any

servicing unless specifically

recommended in this Use and

Care Guide or in published

user-repair instructions that you

understand and have the skills to

carry out.

•See Installation Instructions for

grounding requirements.

tion of the symbol.

OPERATING YOUR WASHER

Selecting a cycle and time

This section illustrates and describes the

wash cycles you can select with the Cycle

Control Knob. Use this information to help

you make the best cycle selections for your

wash loads. Each cycle is designed for

different types of fabrics and soil levels.

•The washer pauses briefly throughout

each cycle. These pauses are normal for

washer operation.

Super Wash Cycle

The Super Wash cycle (18 minutes) features

an extended wash time for washing heavily

soiled loads that need maximum soil removal.

For improved cleaning, use twice the

amount of detergent recommended for a

wash cycle.

Normal Cycle

The Normal cycle features the Gentle Wash

system, and high agitation and spin speeds

to shorten drying time. Use this cycle for

cleaning cotton and linen fabrics. Select

9 (REGULAR) or 12 (HEAVY) minutes of

wash time, depending on whether your

load is moderately or heavily soiled.

For lightly soiled cotton and linen fabrics,

use 6 minutes of wash time. (On 8-cycle

models, this is labeled SOFTWASH.)

•Some washer models have an Extra Rinse

option in most wash cycles.

•Cycle descriptions are included below and

on the following pages for 7-cycle and

8-cycle models.

•Refer to page 10 to learn more about the

sounds you may hear during a wash cycle.

•Refer to page 11 to help you understand

what happens during a wash cycle.

On All Models

Permanent Press Cycle

The Permanent Press cycle features the

Gentle Wash system, a cool-down rinse,

and low spin speeds to reduce wrinkling.

Use this cycle for cleaning permanent press

and some synthetic fabrics. Select 6 (LIGHT)

or 9 (REGULAR) minutes of wash time,

depending on whether your wash load is

lightly or moderately soiled.

Delicates Cycle

The Delicates cycle features a reduced

agitation speed for gentle soil removal.

Low spin speeds reduce wrinkling. Use

6 minutes of wash time for cleaning lightly

to moderately soiled delicate items and

washable knits.

Hand Washables Cycle

The Hand Washables cycle features brief,

low-speed agitation (2 seconds), and short

soaks (28 seconds) to gently clean special-

care items. Low spin speeds reduce wrin-

kling. Use 6 minutes of wash time to clean

lightly soiled hand washables.

Wash small loads. If items appear to be

floating (due to trapped air), stop the washer

by pushing in the Cycle Control Knob. Push

items down into the washer. Restart the

washer. Refer to “Hand washables” on page

17 for more information.

OPERATING YOUR WASHER

Using rinse and spin

NOTE: On some models, an Extra Rinse

option is available in most cycles. (See

page 7.)

When using extra detergent for heavily

soiled clothes, or washing special-care

items, you may find an extra rinse and spin

is needed.

1. For an additional rinse, push in the Cycle

Control Knob and turn clockwise

to Rinse, as illustrated.

2. Pull out the Cycle Control Knob. The

washer fills to selected load size,

agitates, drains, and spins.

Using drain and spin

A drain and spin may help shorten drying

times for some heavy fabrics or special-care

items by removing excess water.

1. Push in the Cycle Control Knob and turn

clockwise to Spin, as illustrated.

2. Pull out the Cycle Control Knob. The

washer drains, then spins.

Understanding normal washer sounds

Your new washer may make sounds that

your old one didn’t. Because the sounds are

unfamiliar, you may be concerned about

them. Don’t be; most of them are normal.

The following describes some of the

sounds you may hear and what causes

them.

During washing

When you select a small load size setting for

a small wash load, the water level in your

washer is lower. With this lower water level,

you may hear a clicking sound from the

upper portion of the agitator.

During drain

The rate that water is drained from your

washer depends on your installation. If water

is drained quickly from the washer, you may

hear air being pulled through the pump. This

happens during the end of draining.

After drain and before spin

When the cycle changes from draining to

spinning, you may hear gears engaging.
