RinseandSpin

RinseandSpin

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 andSpin

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.

Self-Cleaning LintFilter

Your washer has a self-cleaning lint filter at the bottom of the basket. Wash and rinse water flow over the filter during agitation, separating the lint from the water. The lint spins out of the system during the spin part of the cycle.

If your washer drains into a tub, remove any lint collected in the tub or strainer.

WASHER CARE

CleaningYour 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 upwards 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.

WaterInletHoses

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.
