4. Automatic Lint

Filtering System

The Lint Filtering System does not require cleaning.

Wash and rinse water is filtered and re-filtered contin- uously to trap lint shed by most fabrics during the agi- tation cycle before it can be re-deposited 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.

6.Unbalanced Spin Load Compensator

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

5. Safety Spin

If for any reason you open the washer lid when the washer is in a spin or extract period, the operation will immediately stop. This is for your personal safety. If your washer does not stop, call your service technician immediately. When the lid is closed, the operation will automatically resume.

7. 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 oper- ating 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 tempera- tures will go below freezing, as damage to the washer could result.

4.Occasionally wipe exterior with a clean damp sponge or cloth. Polish with a soft dry cloth. If desired, occa- sionally polish, being careful not to use polish on plas- tic 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 damp, soft cloth.

11.If you close your home for the winter, have a service technician drain the washer. Unplug cord from electri- cal outlet and disconnect hoses from faucets.
