Prepare Wash Load
Empty Pockets and Cuffs
Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside out. One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail or sharp object in a load can catch laundry, cause tears and plug the pump. Facial tissue left in a pocket will produce extreme “lint”. A crayon or lipstick in a wash load may cause stains that cannot be removed. Roll down cuffs and shake out grass, sand and gravel.
Strings on clothing such as hooded sweatshirts may get caught in or around the agitator. Remove the strings if possible or tie them together.
Mend Rips and Tears
Little holes can become bigger in the washer. Mend holes and tears before placing garments in the washer.
Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks
These can catch on garments in a wash load and tear them. Tie belts and sashes so they won’t wind around clothes.
Check For Colorfastness
Squeeze a portion of garment in warm or hot sudsy water. If the color bleeds or runs, wash the item separately in cold water.
Sort Items
Different items use different wash cycles and temperatures. Always follow the manufacturer’s care label. Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few guidelines:
Pretreat
Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pretreat product or liquid detergent when placing them in the washer. Before washing, treat special stains individually.
Load Articles
NOTE: Always add detergent first.
Wash Temperature
Hot
Hot water is the most effective for cleaning, but it is not recommended for all fabric types (read labels).
Warm
The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough cleaning on light and moderately soiled clothing without damaging fabric or adding to color fading. Warm water also reduces wrinkling. Use with non-colorfast or dark colors, permanent press, silks, woolens, nylon, and acrylic.
Cool
The Cool Wash temperature is useful for washing permanent press fabrics.
Cold
The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although its cleaning abilities are not as great as with hot or warm water, it is useful for colors that bleed easily and for sensitive fabrics.
All rinses use cold water. It is the most beneficial for fabrics. Cold rinses reduce wrinkling and color fading. In addition, cold rinses will save money and energy.
NOTE: In wash temperatures colder than 60°F [16°C], detergents do not dissolve well. This may cause ineffective cleaning, or lint and residue to form.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.
Water Supply Temperature
Water temperature is determined by the temperature of the incoming water supply. The washer does not heat or cool the water.
For example, northern climates will have much colder incoming water during the winter months. Southern climates will have much warmer cold water during the summer months.

Energy
You can save energy when washing by following these guidelines:

The following cycle descriptions will help determine which cycle to choose depending on the type of laundry being washed.
Normal Eco
This cycle uses a spray rinse to reduce water consumption. It also uses less hot water. This cycle is recommended for washing everyday cottons and linens. If using fabric softener in this cycle, select the Extra Rinse option.
Perm Press
Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The final spin is a low spin speed.
Heavy Duty
Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes, heavily soiled jeans, T-shirts, etc. There is a longer wash time for the best results when cleaning heavily soiled items.
Bulky/Sheet
Use this cycle when washing bulky items such as sheets, blankets and comforters. The cycle includes a gentle wash action to thoroughly clean larger items.
Spin
Use this cycle to extract water from wet items. The cycle uses the high spin.
Delicate
Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on this cycle.
On this cycle, the agitation during the wash portion of the cycle is not constant. The wash will alternate between periods of agitation and then a short soak until advancing to the spin portion of the cycle. All spin speeds are a low spin.
Waterproof Items
If waterproof or water-resistant items need to be washed, use only the Delicate Cycle.
Examples of waterproof items include rain coats and bed liners. Load the items evenly and load washtub no more than 1/2 full. For best washing results, add another item such as a cotton sheet on top of the waterproof items to make sure they get fully submersed in the water and that no air is trapped under the waterproof items.
Off
When this is selected, no options will be added to the cycle. The soil level will be standard.
Extra Rinse
This Option will provide an additional rinse to the selected cycle.
Extra Rinse Pre-Soak
This Option includes a soak segment at the beginning of the cycle and an additional rinse.
Heavy Soil
This Option extends the wash time for heavily soiled items in all cycles. In the Normal Eco cycle, the wash will alternate between periods of agitation and then a short soak until advancing to the next part of the cycle.

Table 2
Deep Fill
Use this option to add extra water to any cycle when a deeper fill level is desired.
Status
The active Status light will flash at the beginning of the cycle. The Status lights are lit throughout the cycle to show what part of the cycle is running.

Audio Signals
An audio signal will sound for three seconds at the end of each cycle. To turn it off, hold the Deep Fill button for three seconds. Hold it again for three seconds to turn the signal back on. A one-second tone will sound to confirm that the End of Cycle signal is turned off or on.
Audio signals will sound when a knob selection is changed and when the Start/Pause or Deep Fill buttons are pressed. To turn them off, hold the Deep Fill button for 10 seconds. Hold it again for 10 seconds to turn the signals back on. A three-second tone will sound to confirm that these signals are turned off or on.
In addition, the Status lights will be lit in an upward pattern when the signal is turned on. The lights will be lit in a downward pattern when the signal is turned off.
To Wash Clothes
IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer, make sure the washer cord is connected to an appropriate electrical outlet that is properly installed and connected to a protective earth/ground. Make sure 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. Refer to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for details of proper washer installation.
IMPORTANT: Prior to first wash, use an all purpose cleaner, or a detergent and water solution, and a damp cloth to remove shipping dust from inside of wash drum.

NOTE: High efficiency (HE) detergent is recommended for use in this machine. Look for the HE logo or “high efficiency” on the detergent’s label.
3. Add clothes loosely into the washtub (16 lbs. [7.2 kg] maximum dry clothes load).

4. Close the lid. The washer will not fill, agitate or spin with the lid open.

5. Set the WASH TEMPERATURE control. (All rinses are cold.)
6. Select OPTIONS if desired.
7. Select the cycle according to the type of fabric being washed. Refer to Determine Proper Cycle. If the selected cycle is not the correct cycle for the fabric being washed, you may change the cycle selection at any time until the first wash fill is complete. IMPORTANT: Once the first wash fill is complete, changing the Cycle Selection knob will have no effect. NOTE: The Normal Eco cycle is recommended for everyday cottons and linens.
8. Press the START/PAUSE button to begin the cycle. NOTE: Lid must be closed for fill, agitation and spin to start.
The washer will stop (pause) shortly before the wash and rinse spins. This is a normal part of the cycle.
Pausing the Cycle
Lifting the lid or pressing the Start/Pause button will pause the cycle. Close the lid to resume the cycle.
You can change the cycle during the first wash fill only. You can also pause the cycle after the first fill but the cycle selection can't be changed at this time.
NOTE: You can’t pause a cycle right after starting it. There is a short delay while the machine is energizing.
1. To pause a running cycle, open the lid or press the Start/ Pause button once. The current Status light will go out.
2. The Start/Pause Status light will flash to indicate the cycle is paused.
3. Close the lid, or if lid was not previously opened press the Start/Pause button again, to resume the cycle. It will start from the place it was in the cycle when paused. You can't change the cycle selection while it is paused.
Canceling the Cycle
You can change the cycle during the first wash fill. If you need to change the cycle after that you must cancel it first.
The cycles of your washer include several different stages. Refer to the tables below for what can be expected during the cycles that you select.
The times listed are the default times. They are approximate and will vary depending on the cycle and options chosen, and the size and type of the load. Fill times may vary due to water pressure.
The Extra Rinse option must be selected to be included in the cycle.
NOTE: The rinse water temperature will be cold, including when optional rinses are selected.



The bleach dispenser is located in the left front corner, under the lid.
Use liquid bleach in the dispenser. Powdered bleach must not be used in the dispenser. Add powdered bleach to the wash water.
Use no more than one cup chlorine bleach for large loads, three-quarters cup for medium and one-half cup for small loads.
Carefully pour recommended amount of bleach into the dispenser before the start of the wash cycle.
Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach. It is a strong chemical and can damage some fabrics if it is not properly diluted.
Bleach is very corrosive and overfilling the dispenser can cause chemical damage to the washer components. Components damaged by bleach are not covered under the product warranty.
Fabric softener should not be used with the Normal Eco or Spin Only cycles unless the Extra Rinse option is also selected.
To Use Dispenser
After the clothes are loaded into the washtub and before the start of the WASH cycle, pour the proper amount of liquid fabric softener into the bottle measuring cap (refer to bottle directions). Pour into dispenser.
The large fabric softener dispenser allows for the fabric softener to be diluted with water. We recommend adding water up to the fill level. Do not exceed tip of arrow which indicates correct fill level. Over-filling can allow fabric softener to spill onto the clothes, causing stains on clothes if the softener comes into contact with detergent suds.
Setting the water level to medium or higher will result in better performance from the fabric softener.
The fabric softener will remain in the dispenser during the wash fill, agitation and spin. At the end of the wash spin, the liquid fabric softener will be dispensed into the washtub through the slots in the agitator and will be mixed with the incoming rinse water.
To Clean the Dispenser
IMPORTANT: When adding detergent to the wash load, DO NOT allow any detergent to enter the softener dispenser cup. If this happens, refer to the cleaning instructions.

1. Dispenser Housing
2. Dispenser Cup
3. Dispenser Funnel
4. Agitator
Use Tips
To prevent softener buildup, the dispenser can be filled with clean water for automatic cleaning. This can be done in washing cycles other than when softener is used.
To keep clothes looking white or bright, use good washing practices at all times to prevent a gradual build-up of soil or water hardness minerals on them. If you notice that your clothes are not as bright as they should be, take corrective measures immediately.
Gray or Dingy Clothes
Add more detergent to washtub before loading clothes.
Mild detergents are not suitable for average soil.
Wash whites separately. Separate light from heavily soiled items. Clothes can pick up soil from dirty wash water.
Follow package directions. Soften water if possible.
White clothes will stay whiter with hot wash water. Increase temperature.
Clothes must circulate freely through the water for best results.
Yellowed Clothes
Skin soil is hard to remove. Check hem edge of sheets and pillowcases, bottom end of t-shirts, etc. If this portion is white and center is yellow, the fabric contains unremoved soil. Use sufficient detergent and a hot wash. Chlorine bleach may be needed.
To test for an iron stain, use a rust remover that is recommended for use with washing machines on a portion of the garment. Follow bottle directions for larger items.
Some white fabrics turn yellow with age and cannot be whitened.
Clothes Tearing or Damaged
No correction for bleach damaged clothes.
Take extra care to avoid unwanted spilling.
Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend tears. Remove objects from pockets.
Make sure all items can move freely during agitation.
Excessive Lint
Fabrics that shed lint cannot be washed with fabrics that receive lint.
Use enough detergent so lint remains suspended in water and flushed out. Do not oversuds the water.
Knits and permanent press attract lint. Wash these only with similar items.
Use fabric softener in rinse water.
Wrinkling
Heavy items like towels should not be washed with light items like nightgowns.
Make sure cycle selected is appropriate for type of clothes.
Using a warm or cold wash and a cold rinse reduces wrinkling.
Clothes must circulate freely through the water for best results.
If the unit is delivered on a cold day (below freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area during the cold months, do not attempt to operate the washer until it has had a chance to warm up. Water from the previous cycle may remain.
Winterizing the Washer
Follow these steps to prevent damage from freezing water.
a. Plug washer into electrical power.
b. Select a Warm wash temperature.
c. Start a cycle. This will open both sides of water valve.
d. Use compressed air to blow out any residual water.
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel. Some cleaning products may harm the finish on the control panel or damage the interior. DO NOT use products that contain alcohol on the control panel. Wipe the panel dry after cleaning.
Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach or other washing products are spilled on the cabinet, wipe immediately. Some products will cause permanent damage if spilled on the cabinet.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on control panel or cabinet.
The washtub will need no particular care though it may need rinsing or wiping after some unusual loads have been washed. This also may be necessary if too little detergent has been used.
Leave the lid open to allow the inside of the washer to dry out after use. This helps prevent musty odors from developing.
The agitator should not be removed except for service. The washtub is designed to be self cleaning.
Hoses and other rubber parts deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the temperature and constant high pressure they are subjected to.
All hoses should be checked on a monthly basis for any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing the signs of deterioration listed above should be replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced every five years.
Flood safe hoses often can be the cause for no fill or slow fill issues. They are not recommended. Only use replacement fill hoses from the manufacturer.
Check the filter screens in the fill hoses for debris or damage every six months. Clean or replace them if necessary.
If the washer is filling with water slower than normal, check the filter screens. Clean or replace them if necessary.
Order filter screen Part No. 803615 from the nearest authorized parts distributor.
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible property damage due to flooding, turn off the water supply to the washer whenever there will be an extended period of non-use.
Follow these guidelines to ensure the washer operates properly. Call for service if you observe any of the following: water of any amount on the floor, an increase in operating noise or water remaining in the wash basket after a cycle.
Monthly
Every six months
Every five years
You must install the shipping brace and shipping plug any time the washer is moved.
Shipping Brace
The shipping brace in the lid opening should be saved and reinstalled whenever the washer is moved. To reinstall the brace, open the washer lid and place the brace over the washer agitator, placing the back of the brace into the lid opening first.
Shipping Plug
The plastic shipping plug should be saved and reinstalled any time the washer is moved. The plug fits into two openings: The base opening and the shipping plug opening on the bottom of the movable pivot dome. The plug MUST be inserted into both openings to prevent damage to the washer. In order to accomplish this, the shipping plug opening must be directly lined up with the base opening.

After the shipping brace has been installed in the lid opening, tilt washer back enough to access base opening.
Insert shipping plug into base opening and, using the palm of your hand, push shipping plug into washer until it snaps into shipping plug opening
Motor Overload Protector
The internal motor overload protector will stop the motor automatically if there are too many clothes in the washtub or if a failure has occurred within the machine. The overload protector will reset itself in two or three minutes and the motor will restart automatically.
If the overload protector stops the motor again, remove the washer from use and call a service person to correct the problem.
