Operation
Instructions
aWARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, Pages 3 and 4, before operating the washer.
Determine Proper Cycle
Regular
Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes, towels,
There are three settings in the REGULAR cycle — heavy, normal and light. The number shown next to these settings is the length of agitation in minutes. (For example: setting the timer on Heavy will be a 15 minute agitation).
Permanent Press
Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The wash time selection will depend upon the type of fabric and amount of soil.
There are two settings in the PERMANENT PRESS cycle — normal and light. The number shown next to these settings is the length of agitation in minutes. (For example: setting the timer on Normal will be a nine minute agitation).
The PERMANENT PRESS cycle automatically cools the temperature of the fibers before the spin. After wash the agitation stops, the washtub spins slowly, partially drains and then stops. Cold water will then be automatically added to the washtub until the proper water level is reached. This happens one or two times, depending on the size of the load and type of drain connection. When the COOL DOWN is complete, the washer will pause for approximately one minute before continuing the cycle.
Delicate
Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on this cycle. A full tub of warm water is recommended (even for small loads) to allow the delicate items to move freely through the water. More water helps reduce fabric wear, wrinkling, and provides for a clean wash.
There are two settings in the DELICATE cycle — normal and light. The number shown next to these settings is the length of agitation in minutes. (For example: setting the timer on Normal will be an eight minute agitation, including pauses).
To Wash Clothes
IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer, make sure the washer cord is plugged into a
120 Volt electrical outlet that has the proper grounding and polarity, that the washer hoses are connected to the hot and cold water faucets, and that the faucets are turned on. Be sure the drain hose is not kinked and is inserted into a drain.
See the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for details of proper washer installation.
IMPORTANT: Before using the washer for the first time, wipe out the inside of the wash tub with a sudsy cloth.
1.Get the clothes ready for washing. Empty pockets and cuffs. Sort items into separate loads. Pretreat stains and heavily soiled areas.
2.Measure and add detergent to the washtub.
3.Add clothes loosely into the washtub. The bulk of the clothes rather than the weight will determine load size.
4.Close the loading door. The washer will not agitate or spin with the loading door open.
aWARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury, DO NOT
5.Set WASH/RINSE temperatures.
NOTE: The washer will provide a cold rinse in all TEMPERATURE settings. Cold rinses will save you money and energy and will help reduce wrinkling in permanent press and synthetics.
The Energy Saver settings, marked with an asterisk (*), show which temperature settings will use the least energy.
