Important Safety Notice and Instructions  
U
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic  
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the  
Governor of California to publish a list of substances  
known to the State of California to cause cancer or  
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn cus-  
tomers of potential exposures to such substances.  
Appliances with the  
symbol on the data plate have  
®
L
been listed with Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc. Those  
with a CSA Monogram on the data plate have been cer-  
tified by the CSA Testing Laboratories as complying  
with Canadian Standards Association requirements. Gas  
dryers with an AGA symbol on the data plate have been  
design certified with the American Gas Association;  
those with a CGA symbol on the data plate have been  
approved by the Canadian Gas Association.  
Nevertheless, as with any equipment using electricity  
and having moving parts, there are potential hazards. To  
use this appliance safely, the operator should become  
familiar with the instructions for operation of the appli-  
ance and always exercise care when using it.  
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burn-  
ing of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of  
the listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde  
and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of  
natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Exhaust ducts  
should be kept free of obstructions and properly  
exhausted dryers will minimize exposure.  
WARNING — Do not place into your  
dryer items that have been spotted or  
soaked with vegetable oil or cooking oil.  
Even after being washed, these items may  
contain significant amounts of these oils.  
The remaining oil can ignite spontaneously.  
The potential for spontaneous ignition  
increases when the items containing veg-  
etable oil or cooking oil are exposed to  
heat. Heat sources, such as your clothes  
dryer, can warm these items, allowing an  
oxidation reaction in the oil to occur.  
Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot  
escape, the items can become hot enough  
to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing  
these kinds of items may prevent heat from  
escaping and can create a fire hazard.  
WARNING — For your safety the  
information in this manual must be  
followed to minimize the risk of fire or  
explosion or to prevent property dam-  
age, personal injury or death.  
– Do not store or use gasoline or other  
flammable vapors and liquids in the  
vicinity of this or any other appliance.  
– WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS  
• Do not try to light any appliance.  
• Do not touch any electrical switch;  
do not use any phone in your build-  
ing.  
• Clear the room, building or area of  
all occupants.  
All washed and unwashed fabrics that con-  
tain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dan-  
gerous. Washing these items in hot water  
with extra detergent will reduce, but will  
not eliminate, the hazard. Always use the  
“cool down” cycle for these items to  
reduce the items’ temperature. Never  
remove these items from the clothes dryer  
hot or interrupt the drying cycle until the  
items have run through the “cool down”  
cycle. Never pile or stack these items when  
they are hot.  
• Immediately call your gas supplier  
from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the  
gas supplier’s instructions.  
• If you cannot reach your gas suppli-  
er, call the fire department.  
Installation and service must be per-  
formed by a qualified installer, service  
agency or the gas supplier.

Important Safety Instructions  
WARNING — To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, property damage or injury  
to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:  
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.  
2. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:  
6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be  
exposed to the weather.  
7. Do not tamper with controls.  
a. Do not wash or dry items that have been previously  
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gaso-  
line, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explo-  
sive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite  
or explode. Hand wash and line dry any items contain-  
ing these substances.  
8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or  
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended  
in published user-repair instructions that you understand  
and have the skills to carry out.  
9. The agitator should not be removed. If the agitator is  
removed, it must be replaced by pushing down complete-  
ly and the locking screw tightened before the washer is  
operated.  
Any material on which you have used a cleaning sol-  
vent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or  
solids, should not be placed in the appliance until all  
traces of these liquids or solids and their fumes have  
been removed.  
10. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate stat-  
ic unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric  
softener or product.  
These items include acetone, denatured alcohol, gaso-  
line, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some  
spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.  
11. Clean the dryer lint screen before or after each load.  
12. Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surround-  
ing areas free from lint accumulation, dust and dirt.  
b. 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.  
13. The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be  
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.  
14. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug  
the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not ground-  
ed adequately and in accordance with local and national  
codes. See Installation Instructions for grounding this  
appliance.  
c. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-  
duced in a hot water system that has not been used for  
2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLO-  
SIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for  
such a period, before using a washing machine or  
combination washer-dryer, 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.  
15. Unplug power supply cord before attempting to service  
your appliance.  
16. Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry place  
where children cannot reach them.  
17. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids (such  
as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash. Hazardous  
fumes can form.  
d. Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex  
foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials must  
not be dried on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials  
when heated, can under certain circumstances produce  
fire by spontaneous combustion.  
18. Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small parti-  
cles can stick to fabrics washed in following loads and  
cause skin irritation.  
e. Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with veg-  
etable or cooking oil. These items may contain some  
oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fab-  
ric may smoke or catch fire by itself.  
19. Before the appliance is removed from service or discard-  
ed, remove the door to the clothes dryer compartment.  
20. Install and level washer on a floor that can support the  
weight.  
3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.  
Close supervision of children is necessary when the  
appliance is used near children.  
21. As with any equipment using electricity and having mov-  
ing parts, there are potential hazards. To use this appli-  
ance safely, the operator should become familiar with the  
instructions for operation of the appliance and always  
exercise care when using it.  
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discard-  
ed, remove the door to the clothes washer compartment.  
5. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub, agitator, or  
drum is moving.

Washer Special Features  
Lift the Lid  
The washer lid lifts up and down to open and close.  
Internal springs will hold the lid in the open position  
until pulled down to close.  
This washer is designed so that it will not fill, agitate or  
spin when the lid is open. Should the lid be opened dur-  
ing a cycle, the washer will stop; when the lid is closed  
and the control knob is pulled out, the washer will  
resume its cycle at the point it was interrupted.  
Bleach Dispenser  
Fabric Softener Dispenser  
The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine  
bleach before it reaches your wash load. To use, follow  
these steps:  
This dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric soft-  
ener at the proper time during the cycle. To use, follow  
these steps:  
1. Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully, following  
the instructions on the bottle.  
1. Pour liquid fabric softener into the dispenser using  
the amount recommended on the package.  
2. Add the bleach to the dispenser before adding the  
load. Avoid splashing or over-filling the dispenser.  
2. Add warm water to the dispenser until it reaches the  
FILL LINE.  
NOTE:  
NOTE:  
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly  
onto the load or into the wash tub. It is a powerful  
chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as tear-  
ing or color loss, if not used properly.  
• Do not stop the washer during the first spin. This will  
cause the dispenser to empty too soon.  
• Never pour fabric softener directly on the load. It will  
leave spots and stains.  
• If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine bleach,  
pour it into the wash tub with your detergent. Do not  
pour non-chlorine bleaches into the bleach dispenser.  
• Use the dispenser for liquid fabric softeners only.  
Clean the area in and around the dispenser frequently  
with hot water, detergent and a soft brush.  
Pour liquid fabric softener into cup and  
dilute with warm water.  
Pour liquid chlorine bleach into  
the bleach dispenser.

Washer Operating Tips  
For detailed information on sorting, pretreating stains,  
etc., see the enclosed Laundering Tips pamphlet.  
Loading  
• Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to the  
top row of holes for a maximum load.  
Detergent  
• Do not wrap large items like sheets around the agita-  
tor.  
• Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent. For  
best results, be sure detergent is added to the  
washer BEFORE the load and be sure wash water  
is above 65º F.  
• Mix large and small items for best circulation. Wash  
bulky items like blankets separately.  
• When laundering permanent press items or items of  
delicate construction, washable woolens or loosely  
knit items, never use less than the MEDIUM water  
level setting. This will minimize shrinkage, wrinkling  
and pulling of seams.  
• Use the correct amount of detergent for the load size,  
soil level and water conditions. Use more detergent if  
you have hard water and very soiled loads.  
If you have soft water or a lightly soiled load, use less  
detergent. (See manufacturer’s instructions.)  
• For best results, add the detergent to the washtub  
before adding the load.  
• Wipe up any detergent spills on the washer.  
Additional Tips  
• This washer is designed so that it will not fill, agitate  
or spin when the lid is open.  
• If the washer stops during the spin, it may be due to  
an unevenly distributed load. If this happens, push in  
the control knob, open the lid, redistribute the load,  
close the lid and pull out the control knob. The spin  
will resume at the point it was interrupted.  
• If you open the lid during a cycle, the washer will  
stop. When the lid is closed and the control knob  
pulled out, the washer will continue the cycle at the  
point it was interrupted.  
• The washer will pause briefly throughout each cycle.  
These pauses are normal.

Dryer Operating Tips  
Load the Dryer Properly...  
Clean the  
Lint Filter...  
• by placing only one washload in the dryer at  
a time.  
• after each load.  
• by avoiding very small loads or mixed loads.  
• to shorten drying time.  
• to operate more energy efficient.  
• by adding one or more similar items to the dryer  
when only one or two articles need drying. This  
improves the tumbling action and drying efficiency.  
NOTE: Do not operate the dryer without the lint  
filter in place.  
Add A Fabric Softener Sheet...  
(If So Desired)  
• after loading the dryer.  
• to control static cling.  
• before the load becomes warm. This helps prevent  
greasy–looking softener stains.  
• and remove any used softener sheets from the dryer  
to prevent greasy–looking softener stains.

Care and Cleaning  
Control Panel Care  
Dryer Care  
Clean the control panel with a soft damp cloth. Do not  
use any abrasive powders or cleaning pads.  
Tumbler  
If the tumbler becomes stained by a crayon, ink pen or  
other item inadvertently left in a garment, clean the tum-  
bler with an all purpose cleaner such as: Fantastik, Soft  
Scrub or Formula 409®.* Then tumble old towels or  
rags to remove any excess stain or cleaning substance.  
Cabinet Care  
Simply wipe off any marks with soap and water, fol-  
lowed with an appliance wax if desired.  
Exhaust System Cleaning  
While the lint filter will catch most of the lint from the  
load, some will get through and may buildup in the  
ductwork. It is important to completely inspect and  
clean all lint accumulation from the interior of the duct-  
work once a year to maintain drying performance. The  
exhaust hood at the outside of the home should be  
cleaned more frequently to ensure the damper opens and  
closes freely.  
Washer Care  
Lint Filter  
The SELF-CLEAN LINT FILTER in the washer is  
located under the agitator and cleans itself. During the  
wash and rinse portion of the cycle, lint is collected on  
the filter. The filter is then flushed automatically during  
the spin and drain.  
Refer to the Installation Instructions for more details on  
proper exhausting.  
Interior  
*Brand names are trademarks of the respective  
manufacturers.  
Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed, using a  
recommended cleaner labeled washer safe.  
Storing the Washer and Dryer  
Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from  
hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare  
the washer and dryer for storage as follows:  
• Advance the cycle control knob to the final spin of  
the Regular Fabrics cycle and lower drain hose to  
drain any water that may be in the drain hose.  
• Disconnect the washer and dryer from the electri-  
cal supply and leave the washer lid open to let air  
circulate inside the tub.  
• Select the Regular Fabrics cycle and add one cup  
of bleach or white vinegar to a full load of warm or  
hot water without clothes. Run the washer through  
a complete cycle.  
• Clean the dryer tumbler with an all purpose clean-  
er such as Fantastik or Formula 409®* and dis-  
connect from the power supply.  
• Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet  
hoses.
