Automatic Lint Filtering System, Overload Protector

Special Features

Automatic Lint Filtering System

The Lint Filtering System does not require cleaning.

Wash and rinse water is filtered and re-filtered continuously to trap lint shed by most fabrics during the agitation cycle before it can be redeposited on the wash load. The engineered hole design on the wash basket, in conjunction with water flow produced by the agitator, traps lint away from the clothes between the inner wash basket and the outer tub. Lint is automatically flushed from the washer during the spin cycle.

Unbalanced Spin Load

Compensator

Your new washer is designed to handle out-of-balance loads without shutting down or interrupting the washing cycle.

For this reason, the cycle will always be completed. If heavier fabrics in such out-of-balance loads should ever contain excessive moisture at the completion of the cycle, redistribute the clothes in the washer and reset the control dial for the final spin period.

Overload Protector

A built-in protector automatically shuts off the washer motor in case of an overload. This can occur if:

•The load being washed is too heavy.

•Too many appliances are plugged into the line operating your washer.

•A low voltage condition exists on the line.

•Lid is opened and closed repeatedly.

The overload protector permits the washer to start again when the motor has cooled to a safe operating temperature.

If the motor stops repeatedly, call your service technician.

Care & Cleaning

1.After washing, leave the lid open until the interior is dry.

2.Check hoses to be sure there are no kinks or knots.

3.Your washer should not be installed where temperatures will go below freezing, as damage to the washer could result.

4.To clean, occasionally wipe exterior with a clean damp sponge or cloth. Do not use polish on plastic parts.

5.Lifetime lubrication is done at the factory, so your washer never needs to be oiled or greased.

6.Do not lay heavy or sharp objects on top of your washer.

7.The top of the washer should not be used for removing stains from garments. Some stain removers, such as rust remover, will mar the finish.

8.Remove pins, buckles or other sharp objects from clothes to prevent scratching interior parts.

9.Clothes should not be stored in washer.

10.Bleach, detergent, solvents, etc. spilled on the top

	of your washer that are allowed to remain will
	remove the glossy finish. Remove all spills with a
11	damp, soft cloth.

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the interior of the washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew or bacteria residue that may remain in the washer as a result of washing clothes. We recommend taking the following steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your washer interior. The frequency with which the washer should be cleaned and freshened depends on factors such as usage, the amount of dirt, soil or bacteria being run through your washer, or the use of cold water. Failure to follow these instructions may result in unsatisfactory conditions, including unpleasant odor and/or permanent stains on the washer or wash load.

To clean and freshen the washer interior:

1.Add a measured amount of chlorine bleach to the bleach dispenser, following package directions.

2.Add 1/4 cup of detergent to the tub.

3.Run the washer without a load through a complete cycle using hot water.

4.Repeat the process if necessary.
