For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or  
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic  
precautions, including the following:  
• Read all instructions before using the washer.  
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be  
exposed to the weather.  
• Do not wash articles that have been previously  
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with  
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or  
explosive substances, as they give off vapors that  
could ignite or explode.  
• Do not tamper with controls.  
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or  
attempt any servicing unless specifically  
recommended in the user-maintenance instructions  
or published user-repair instructions that you  
understand and have the skills to carry out.  
• 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.  
• See Installation Instructions for grounding  
requirements.  
• 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 the washing  
machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the  
water flow from each for several minutes. This will  
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is  
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during  
this time.  
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam  
rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.  
• Interior of washer and condensing duct should be  
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.  
• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied  
by the garment manufacturer.  
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your  
dryer, Items contaminated with cooking oils may  
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a  
load to catch fire.  
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.  
Close supervision of children is necessary when the  
washer is used near children.  
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate  
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of  
the fabric softener or product.  
• Before the washer is removed from service or  
discarded, remove the door to prevent children from  
hiding inside.

PREPARATION BEFORE WASHING  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.  
1. Fabric Care Labels  
Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment and how it should  
be washed.  
2. Sorting  
To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.  
Different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.  
Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing  
discoloration of white clothing. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.  
Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light)  
Color (White, Lights, Darks)  
Lint (Lint Producers, Collectors)  
Separate clothes according to amount of soil.  
Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.  
Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.  
3. Check before loading  
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.  
Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.  
Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.  
Check all the pockets to make sure that they are  
empty. Things such as clip, matches, pens,  
coins, and keys can damage both your washer  
and your clothes.  
Close zippers, hooks, and strings to make sure  
that these items do not snag on other clothes.  
Pretreat dirt and stains by brushing a little  
detergent dissolved in water onto stains like  
collars and cuffs to help lift dirt.

USING THE DISPENSER  
The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments which hold 1) liquid chlorine bleach, 2) liquid fabric  
softener, 3) liquid or powdered detergent for prewash and 4) liquid or powdered detergent  
and color safe bleach for main wash.  
All laundry products can be added at once in their respective dispenser compartments.  
They will be dispensed at the appropriate time for most effective cleaning. After loading the laundry  
additives into the dispenser, close the dispenser lid.  
Add detergent, bleach and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser following these steps:  
1. Open the dispenser lid.  
2. Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.  
3. Close the dispenser lid.  
¡ÆAbout detergent  
Low lathering detergent is recommended for this washer. Use the manufacturer's recommended amount.  
If low lathering detergent is not available, a reduced amount of regular detergent may be used.  
Because reducing the amount of detergent may reduce cleaning, it is important to pretreat stains,  
sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.  
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load.  
For best results, avoid using too much detergent.  
NOTE : Liquid detergent will drain into the washer drum as it is added.  
1. Prewash Detergent Compartment  
Liquid Chlorine

cause early dispensing of the bleach which could  
result in damaged clothes.  
Do not pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly  
onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can  
occur.  
NOTE : If you are using the Prewash option with  
Main wash, powdered detergent must be  
used in the main wash compartment since  
liquid detergent will drain into the washer  
drum as it is added.  
Do not use powdered bleach in this compartment.  
4. Fabric Softener Compartment  
Add recommended amount of fabric softener to  
this compartment.  
Dilute concentrated softeners with warm water to  
the fill line.  
Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can  
cause early dispensing of the fabric softener which  
could result in stained clothes.  
Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash  
load.

the main dispenser.  
Once the two-compartment container is removed from the main dispenser, take it to a sink.  
Run warm water and a soft brush or cloth over the two parts to remove any excess laundry additives.  
Clean the main dispenser area using water and a soft cloth. Once the main dispenser is clean, follow the illustrations  
in reverse order to replace the two compartment container to its original location.  
NOTE : Do not use any cleaning substance on the main dispenser but water. It is possible for cleaning substances to  
drain into the tub. If this should happen, set the washer for a rinse and spin cycle to remove any cleaning  
substance from the washer before doing a load of laundry.  
¡ÆThe washing drum  
If you live in a hard water area, limescale can continuously builds up in places where it cannot be seen  
and it is not easily removed from the drum.  
Over time the build-up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check, these will eventually  
have to be replaced.  
Although the washing drum is made of Stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused by small metal articles  
(paper clips, safety pins, etc.) which have been left in the drum.  
The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time.  
If you use descaling agents, dyes, or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for washing machine use.  
Descaler could contain components that can damage part of your washing machine.  
Remove the spots with a stainless steel cleaning agent.  
Never use steel wool.
