OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This manual covers many models and not all cycles, options, or features listed are available on every model. Console shown above for reference only. Your model may differ.

Cycle Selection

Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the cycle desired. The indicator for that cycle will be illuminated.

For best results

Follow the fabric care label instructions on items to be washed.

To change the cycle once it has begun, press the cancel button before selecting a new cycle. Just turning the cycle selector knob to another selection will not change the cycle. If the selection is changed after the cycle starts, the indicator lights will blink, the signal will beep and “Err” will be displayed. The signal will beep and the status lights will flash, but the original cycle will continue.

Deep Clean Sanitize (on select models)

Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics including towels, bedding, children’s clothing or other items where sanitization is desired. This cycle combines super hot water temperature and fast speed tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120F (49C) to ensure proper performance during the cycle. If the setting is lower, the cycle time will be extended by 30 minutes or more.

The Deep Clean Sanitize cycle will kill 99.9% of bacteria with no carryover of bacteria between loads. No bleach or harsh chemicals are required, but higher temperatures are required. Please check fabric care labels to prevent damage. Only the Sanitize temperature setting is available.

￿NOTE

This cycle has been certified by NSF International, an independent third party testing and certification organization dedicated to public health, safety and environmental protection.

Washers

The wash water is heated by an internal boost heater to a maximum of 152° F as the load tumbles for up to 90 minutes. “SAn” is displayed during the wash phase alternately with the estimated cycle time. Cold water is added to cool down the load prior to drain and spin.

￿NOTE

If the voltage at your outlet is under 110 v, the internal heater may not adequately heat the wash water. If the cycle is interrupted while the water is heating, the final temperature of the wash water may be lower and sanitation may be reduced.

As a precaution, the washer door is locked once the water temperature reaches 130° F. If the cycle is cancelled during the wash phase and if the water temperature is greater than 150° F, an automatic cool down and drain will occur before the door can be opened. “cd” will be displayed.

Heavy

The Heavy cycle provides 20 minutes of reversing tumble wash action for heavily soiled items. Hot water is recommended to remove heavy soil and most stains. Stain Clean, Extra Rinse, Energy Saver (on select models) and Extended Spin (on select models) are available options.
