Hand Washables cycle

The Hand Washables cycle features a series of brief, low-speed agitations and short soaks to gently clean special-care items. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling. Use this cycle for cleaning lightly soiled hand washables.

Garments are labeled “Hand Wash” because:

The fiber or construction may be sensitive to agitation.

The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.

NOTE: Some “Hand Wash” items, particularly wool, naturally shrink when washed. Keep this in mind when you purchase items labeled “Hand Wash.”

Properly sort and then use your Hand Washables cycle for gentle washing. If items appear to be floating due to trapped air, stop the washer by pushing in the Cycle Control knob. Push items down into the water. Restart the washer by pulling out the Cycle Control knob. Follow care label directions for drying. Items that may shrink should be dried flat. When still wet, block these items by gently stretching to original measurements.

Rinse and Spin

When using extra detergent for heavily soiled clothes, or washing special-care items, you may find an extra rinse and spin is needed.

1.Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to any of the Rinse settings.

2.Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer fills to the selected load size, agitates, drains, and spins.

NOTE: An Extra Rinse option is available (on some models). See “Starting Your Washer.”

Drain and Spin

A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy fabrics or special-care items by removing excess water.

1.Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to any of the Spin settings.

2.Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer drains, then spins.

WASHER CARE

Cleaning Your Washer

Cleaning the exterior

Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as detergent or bleach. Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking new.

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.

NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as washer safe.

Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser

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 upward with thumbs. Clean the dispenser by rinsing it under a water faucet. Replace it after cleaning.

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.

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.

Vacation, Storage and Moving Care

Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather, winterize it.

Non-use or vacation care

Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time, you should:

Unplug washer or disconnect power.

Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.

To winterize washer

1.Shut off both water faucets.

2.Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.

3.Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket.

4.Run washer on a drain and spin setting (see “Drain and Spin”) for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and water.

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 complete cycle with 1 cup (250 mL) of detergent to clean out antifreeze.
