Automatic Balance System

Your new washer will automatically adjust to unbalanced loads without shutting down or interrupting the cycle. The cycle will automatically complete at the fastest spin speed possible.

In a severe out-of-balance condition, clothes may contain excessive moisture. If this should happen, simply redistribute the clothes, and reset the control to the spin mark after the rinse setting in the regular cycle.

Safety Spin

The washer will not spin when the lid is open for any reason. This is for your personal safety. If the lid is opened mid-cycle, operation will automatically start when lid is closed.

General Washer Care

•Use only damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning control panel. Some cleaning product sprays may harm control panel finish or may damage interior of hood.

•Wipe washer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach, or other washing products are spilled on cabinet, wipe immediately. Some products will cause permanent damage if spilled on cabinet.

•Top of washer should not be used for removing garment stains. Some stain removers, such as rust remover, may damage cabinet finish.

•Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.

•Do not lay sharp or rough objects on or against washer. Finish could be damaged.

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

•Leave lid open after use to allow inside of washer to dry, and to help prevent musty odors from developing.

•Do not allow small children to play on or around washer.
