WASHER SAFETY  
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.  
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all  
safety messages.  
This is the safety alert symbol.  
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.  
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or  
“WARNING.” These words mean:  
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't  
immediately follow instructions.  
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't  
follow instructions.  
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you  
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic  
precautions, including the following:  
Read all instructions before using the washer.  
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close  
supervision of children is necessary when the washer  
is used near children.  
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.  
discarded,  
Before the washer is removed from service or  
remove the lid.  
Do not reach into the washer if the tub or agitator is  
moving.  
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.  
Do not install or store the washer where it will be  
exposed to the weather.  
Do not tamper with controls.  
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  
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 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.

1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add  
powdered or liquid color safe bleach. Add extra detergent for  
the Extra Wash cycle.  
Starting Your Washer  
Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer.  
Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and  
small items.  
Fire Hazard  
Items should move easily through the wash water.  
Overloading can cause poor cleaning.  
Never place items in the washer that are  
dampened with gasoline or other flammable  
fluids.  
To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and some  
synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide more  
space (see step 5).  
No washer can completely remove oil.  
2. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach into  
the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser. Bleach will be diluted  
automatically during the wash part of the cycle.  
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  
Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Use  
less with a smaller load size.  
Follow the manufacturer’s directions for safe use.  
To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not  
let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer  
basket.  
Electrical Shock Hazard  
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.  
Do not remove ground prong.  
Do not use an adapter.  
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.  
3. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid fabric softener into

selected load size, agitates, drains, and spins.  
NOTE: An Extra Rinse option is available (on some models). See  
Starting Your Washer.”  
Cleaning the interior  
Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine  
bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent. Pour this into your  
washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot water.  
Repeat this process if necessary.  
Drain and Spin  
A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy  
fabrics or special-care items by removing excess water.  
NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners  
labeled as washer safe.  
1. Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to any of  
Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser  
the Spin settings.  
Flush dispenser periodically with warm water, as shown. Remove  
the dispenser by grasping the top of the dispenser with both  
hands and squeezing and pushing upwards with thumbs. Clean  
the dispenser by rinsing it under a water faucet. Replace it after  
cleaning.  
2. Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer drains, then  
spins.  
Self-Cleaning Lint Filter  
NOTE: Do not wash clothes with this dispenser removed. Do not  
add detergent or bleach to this dispenser; it is for liquid fabric  
softener use only.  
Your washer has a self-cleaning lint filter at the bottom of the  
basket. Wash and rinse water flow over the filter during agitation,  
separating the lint from the water. The lint spins out of the system  
during the spin part of the cycle.  
If your washer drains into a tub, remove any lint collected in the  
tub or strainer.  
Water Inlet Hoses  
Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of  
hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if  
bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.  
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement  
on the label with a permanent marker.
