• 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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
