IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons
when using your washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using
the washer.
• Do not wash articles that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable
or explosive substances as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances to the wash
water. These substances give off
vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen
gas may be produced in a hot water
system that has not been used for 2
weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system
has not been used for such a period,
before using a washing machine, turn
on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumu-
latedhydrogen gas. As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time.
• Do not allow children to play on or
in the washer. Close supervision of
children is necessary when the
washer is used near children.
• Before the washer is removed from
service or discarded, remove the lid.
• Do not reach into the washer if the
tub or agitator is moving.
• Do not install or store this washer
where it will be exposed to the
weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of
the washer or attempt any servicing
unless specifically recommended in
the Owner's Manual or in published
user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to
carry out.
• See Installation Instructions for
grounding requirements.

*In wash water ter¢ _eratures colder than 70°F (21°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Also,
soils may be difficult to remove and some fabrics may retain wear wrinkles and have
increased pilling -the formation of small lint-like balls on the surface of garments. Pilling is
the naturai result of wearing and washing of garments.

• Warm rinse is regulated at
approximately 750F (24°C) for all warm
rinse settings. This may be a cooler
warm rinse than what you are used to,
but it saves energy and still gives you
proper rinsing and a load that is
comfortable to remove.
SPEEDS DESCRIPTIONS
This section illustrates and describes
the wash/spin speeds you can select

SELF-CLEANING LINT FILTER DUAL ACTION TM PLUS AGITATOR
Lint is tittered from the toad
automatically - there's no messy
cleanup.
Your washer features a self-cleaning
filter that traps }int from the water while
the washer is washing and deep rinsing
the taundry.The trapped lint is flushed
down the drain automatically. You don't
have to clean the filter.
QUIET PAKTM
The QUIET PAKTM System is designed
to reduce water sounds and ringing
noises. The cabinet is insulated with
sound-dampening material for better
vibration and sound-dampening
characteristics.
Kenmore's DUAL-ACTION TM Plus
Agitator gives you flexible fabric
care for even your largest loads,
The best cleaning action in your washer
takes place at the bottom where the
agitator vanes move back and forth to
flex the fabric, loosening the soil, To get
all your clothes down to the bottom of
the washer, the upper portion of the agi*
tator has uniquely designed, spiral
vanes to help push the clothes that are
on top down to the bottom, This spiral-
ing action displaces the clothes that are
on the bottom with a "roIFover" motion.
28
UNDERSTANDING NORMAL
WASHER SOUNDS
Your new washer may make sounds
that your old one did not. Because the
sounds are unfamiliar, you may be
concerned about them.
The following describes some of the
normal sounds you may hear and what
causes them.
During Washing
When you select a small load size
setting for a small wash load, your
washer has a lower water level. With
this lower water level, you may hear a
clicking sound from the upper portion of
the agitator,
During Drain
The rate that water is drained from your
washer depends on your installation, If
water is drained quickly from the washer,
you may hear air being pulled through
the pump, This happens during the end
of draining.
After Drain and Before Spin
When the cycle changes from draining
to spinning, you may hear a noise as the
gearcase shifts.
USING THE LIQUID CHLORINE
BLEACH DISPENSER
Automatically dilutes bleach to
ensure the cleanest and brightest
loads.
Always measure liquid chlorine
bleach, Use a measuring cup, do not
guess, Do not pour directly from bottle,
Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for
a full load. Use less with smaller loads.
Follow manufacturer's directions for
safe use, A cup with a pouring spout will
help you avoid spilling.
After loading the washer, pour
measured liquid chlorine bleach
carefully into the dispenser.
• Do not let bleach splash, drip, or run
down into washer basket. Undiluted
bleach will damage any fabric it
touches.
• Start the washer. Bleach will be diluted
automatically before it comes in
contact with the wash load.
NOTE: Do not use this dispenser to add
powdered chlorine or color-safe bleach
to your wash load, The dispenser is for
liquid chlorine bleach only.

USING THE LIQUID FABRIC
SOFTENER DISPENSER
After loading the washer, measure and
add the recommended amount of fabric
softener into the dispenser. Follow
manufacturer's directions.
NOTE: Pouring too much fabric softener
into the dispenser will cause the fabric
softener to dispense instantly into the
load due to siphoning action. This instant
"dump" could damage fabrics and will
make it appear that your dispenser is
not working correctly.
To Remove the Fabric Softener
Dispenser for Cleaning
STEP 1. Pull the blue lock ring up,
then remove dispenser from agitator
by pulling up.
STEP 2. Flush the dispenser with
warm water.
To Replace the Fabric Softener
Dispenser
STEP 1. Be sure the blue lock ring
is pulled up. Starting at an angle (see
illustration), push the bottom of the
dispenser down on the agitator top.
STEP 2. When the dispenser is
seated on the agitator, push the blue
lock ring down until it snaps in place.
It must fit tightly.
• Add warm water to fill the dispenser
until it reaches the crossed opening at
the bottom of the funnel-shaped portion
of the dispenser.
• Fabric softener is dispensed into the first
deep rinse water automatically.
NOTE: Fabric softeners are not com-
patible with detergents. This dispenser
should never be used in the PREWASH
Cycle since it would dispense fabric
softener into a wash load that has not
been rinsed, Undiluted fabric softener
spilled on fabric may result in spots that
look like oil stains.
If you ever use your dispenser this way
by mistake, rewash the load with extra
detergent to remove these deposits.

PREPARING CLOTHES
FOR WASHING
Follow these recommendations
to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to
avoid snagging other items, Remove
pins, buckles, and other hard objects
to avoid scratching the washer interior.
Remove non-washable trim and
ornaments.
• Empty pockets and turn them
inside out.
• Turn down cuffs, brush away lint
and dirt.
• Turn synthetic knits inside out to
avoid pilling.
• Tie strings and sashes so they will
not tangle.
• Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.
• Treat spots and stains.
• Stained or wet garments should be
washed promptly for best results.
SORTING
• Separate heavily soiled items from
lightly soiled ones, even if they
would normally be washed together.
Separate lint givers (towels, chenille)
from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible,
turn lint givers inside out.
• Separate dark colors from light colors,
colorfast items from non-colorfast items.
• Sort by fabric and construction
(sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).
32
LOADING
Proper loading of your washer
contributes to proper cleaning and
fabric care and reduces machine
noise.
• Drop items into washer loosely. Fillto
the top of the basket (top row of holes).
Do not wrap items around the agitator.
Items should move easily through
wash water for best cleaning and
wrinkle-free results. Items should sink
and reappear later.
• Load washer properly and select
correct water level setting. Overloading
or packing the machine, and selecting a
setting too small for the wash load can:
- cause poor cleaning
increase wrinkling
create excessive lint
- wear out items faster
(because of pilling)
• Load by the amount of space items
take up, not by their weight.
• Mix large and small items in each load.
Load evenly to maintain washer
balance. An off-balance load can make
the washer vibrate during spin.
• Use a higher water level setting to
reduce wrinkling with permanent press
clothes and some synthetic knits.
These items should have more room
to move in the water than heavy items
(towels, jeans).
• Reduce wash time by using a lower
water level setting. Loads with only a
few small items need less wash time.
LOADING SUGGESTIONS
For these suggested fulPsized loads,
set the Water Level Selector to the
highest water level setting.

CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Proper care of your washer can extend
its life. This section explains how to care
for your washer properly and safely.
Exterior
Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other
spills with a soft, damp cloth or sponge
as they occur. Occasionally wipe the
outside of the washer to keep it looking
like new.
Do not put sharp or metal objects in your
washer. They can damage the finish.
Check all pockets for pins, clips, money,
bolts, nuts, etc. Do not lay these objects
on your washer after emptying pockets.
Interior
Clean interior with 1 cup (250 mL) of
chlorine bleach mixed with 2 cups (500
mL) of detergent. Run washer through a
complete cycle using hot water. Repeat
process if necessary.
NOTE: Remove hard water deposits
using only cleaners labeled as washer
safe.
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 replace-
ment on the label with a permanent
marker.
WINTER STORAGE
OR MOVING CARE
Install and store your washer where it
will not freeze. Because some water
may stay in the hoses and pump,
freezing can damage your washer. If
storing or moving your washer during
freezing weather, winterize it.
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 SPIN setting for
about 30 seconds to mix the
anti-freeze and water. Some of the
mixture will pump out while the
washer spins.
5, Unplug the power supply cord.
To use washer again:
1. Flush water pipes and hoses.
2, Reconnect water inlet hoses.
3, Turn on both water faucets.
4, Reconnect power supply cord.
5, Run the washer through a complete
cycle with 1 cup (250 mL) of
detergent to clean out antifreeze.
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 the power supply cord or turn
off electrical power to the washer.
• Turn off the water supply to the
washer. This helps avoid accidental
flooding (due to a water pressure
surge) while you are away.
