IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
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.  
WARNING!  
WATER HEATER SAFETY  
Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks  
or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances.  
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning  
on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical  
appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen  
gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.  
PROPER INSTALLATION  
This washer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.  
If you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet, you can receive one by calling, toll-free 1.800.361.3400.  
I Install or store where it will not be exposed to  
temperatures below freezing or exposed to the  
weather.  
I Properly ground washer to conform with all governing  
codes and ordinances. Follow details in Installation  
Instructions.  
YOUR LAUNDRY AREA  
I Keep the area underneath and around your  
appliances free of combustible materials such as  
lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.  
I Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is  
used by or near children. Do not allow children to  
play on, with, or inside this or any other appliance.  
WHEN USING THE WASHER  
I Never reach into washer while it is moving. Wait  
until the machine has completely stopped before  
opening the lid.  
I
The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy  
of fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully follow the  
garment manufacturer’s wash and care instructions.  
Use this  
appliance  
only for its  
intended  
purpose as  
described in  
this Owner’s  
Manual.  
I Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids I To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug  
such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing  
different chemicals can produce a toxic gas which  
may cause death.  
this appliance from the power supply or disconnect  
the washer at the household distribution panel by  
removing the fuse or switching off the circuit  
breaker before attempting any maintenance or  
cleaning. NOTE: Turning the Cycle Selector knob to  
an off position does NOT disconnect the appliance  
from the power supply.  
I Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned  
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible  
or explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint,  
gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene,  
etc.) which may ignite or explode. Do not add these  
substances to the wash water. Do not use or place  
these substances around your washer or dryer  
during operation.  
I Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is  
damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled,  
or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged  
cord or plug.  
WHEN NOT IN USE  
I Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses  
and valves and to minimize leakage if a break or  
rupture should occur. Check the condition of the  
fill hoses; they should be replaced every 5 years.  
I Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this  
appliance unless specifically recommended in this  
Owner’s Manual, or in published user-repair  
instructions that you understand and have the  
skills to carry out.  
I Before discarding a washer, or removing it from  
service, remove the washer lid to prevent children  
from hiding inside.  
I Do not tamper with controls.  
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About the control settings.  
Color Logic (on some models)  
Select the correct TEMPERATURE setting. Match the particular color below the words with the  
same color on the WASH/SPIN SPEED setting. Next, match the color again with the same color on  
the Cycle Selector knob.  
Example: Washing a load of medium soiled cotton towels and sheets.  
Choose the LOAD SIZE.  
1
Choose the TEMPERATURE setting—for this load it would be the HOT COLD (which is a  
particular color).  
2
Choose the WASH/SPIN SPEED setting that matches that color—for this load it would be the  
NORMAL FAST.  
3
Turn the Cycle Selector knob to the area that has the same color as the TEMPERATURE and  
4
WASH/SPIN SPEED settings you have chosen—for this load it would be the COTTONS area.  
Turn the knob to the MEDIUM setting.  
Load Size  
Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub. The water level should  
just cover the clothes.  
Wash/Spin Speeds  
The agitator moves clothes around for a cleaner wash; the basket spins later in the cycle to release  
water from the load. The Wash/Spin Speed dial sets the speed of both the agitator and the basket.  
Wash Speeds  
With Normal Speed, the agitator will move at a high speed for the first few minutes, then it slows  
down to a moderate speed. This gets your clothes clean while reducing wear on your clothing.  
Use for cottons, denims and play clothes.  
With Delicate Speed, the agitator moves slower. Use for delicate and knit items.  
With Handwash, the agitator will move slowly and will pause for periods to allow the clothes to  
soak. Use for items labeled handwash.  
With Casuals, the agitator will agitate and then pause to soak your clothes. It provides a gentler  
way to wash your wrinkle-free and permanent press items and knits.  
Spin Speeds  
The Normal spin speed is for normal items. Use it to remove more water from your clothes to  
allow them to dry faster in the dryer.  
The Delicate spin speed is for delicate items like sweaters and lingerie. When using Slow spin  
speed, clothes will be less dry than when using Normal spin speed.

About the control settings.  
Temperature  
Select the water temperature for the wash and rinse cycles. Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care  
label or instructions when laundering.  
Wash Cycle  
The wash cycle controls the length of the washing process. The knob can be turned in either  
direction. Turning the Cycle Selector knob after starting a cycle will stop the washer and reset the  
cycle to the new selection. Press START to begin the new cycle selection.  
REMEMBER: When  
choosing the cycle, the  
Cycle Selector knob can  
be pointed anywhere  
within the shaded range  
for the cycle setting.  
The Cycle Indicator Lights show what stage the washer is in. The wash time is the length of the wash  
agitation. The 6 MIN light will remain lit during drain and spin. When the Selector knob is set to a new  
cycle the Indicator Lights will flash momentarily, showing what stages the cycle will go through.  
The chart below will help you match the wash cycle setting with your clothing.  
COTTONS For heavy to lightly soiled cottons, household linens, work and play clothes.  
EASY CARE/ For wrinkle-free and permanent press items, and knits.  
PERMA PRESS  
HANDWASH For items labeled handwashable with light soils. Provides period of agitation and soak during  
wash and rinse.  
DELICATE For lingerie and special-care fabrics with light to normal soil. Provides periods of agitation and soak during  
wash and rinse.  
CASUALS For wrinkle-free and permanent press items, and knits. The EXTRA cycle has three agitate/pause cycles to  
clean your heavily soiled items. The MEDIUM cycle has two agitate/pause cycles.  
SUPER For heavily soiled and heavy-duty fabrics. This cycle provides a longer agitation.  
QUICK RINSE For quickly rinsing chlorine, perspiration, stains, etc. out of clothes.  
15 MIN/30 MIN For heavily soiled clothes. Begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves  
AUTO SOAK through the rest of the cycle automatically.

About washer features.  
2nd Rinse Option (on some models)  
When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, you may  
want to use the 2nd Rinse option. It provides a second deep cold rinse.  
Signal Off Option (on some models)  
Some models have a signal that will sound at the end of the cycle. Use this option to  
turn off the signal.  
(appearance and features may vary)  
Spot Spray (on some models)  
When you open the washer lid and press the SPOT SPRAY button, you will see a short  
stream of cold water.

AutoTemp (on some models)  
AutoTemp senses the incoming water temperature and adjusts the cold water  
temperature to ensure that the incoming cold water is warm enough to dissolve  
the detergent. Often, detergents are not completely dissolved in very cold water,  
especially in cooler climates.

About washer features.  
NOTE: Not all features are available on all washer models.  
Liquid Bleach Dispenser (on some models)  
The dispenser dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches into your wash load.  
1 Check clothing care labels for special instructions.  
2 Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle.  
I
I
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.  
Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.  
Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach  
dispenser. Avoid splashing or over-filling dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered  
bleach, add it into the wash basket with your detergent.  
3
I
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing can  
produce a toxic gas which may cause death.  
The Agitator Cap or Fabric Softener Dispenser (depending on model)  
Add water to dispenser until it reaches  
the maximum fill line.  
The agitator cap fits into the top of the  
agitator. If it accidentally comes off, simply  
put it back on.  
3
The fabric softener dispenser automatically  
releases liquid fabric softener at the proper  
time during the cycle.  
Do not stop the washer during the first spin.  
This will cause the dispenser to empty  
too soon.  
To use, follow these steps:  
Do not pour anything into the agitator if  
the agitator cap or dispenser is removed.  
Make sure dispenser is securely attached  
to agitator.  
1
Use only liquid fabric softener. Pour  
2
into dispenser, using amount  
recommended on package.  
Never pour fabric softener directly on  
clothes. It may stain them.  
Cleaning the Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some models)  
1 Remove the dispenser from the top of the agitator.  
Separate the dispenser cup from the cover by grasping the top and pushing down on  
the inside of the cup with your fingers. Dispenser cup will pop free from the cover.  
2
To clean the dispenser, soak both the dispenser cup and the dispenser cover in the  
following solution:  
3
I 1 US gallon (3.8 liters) warm water  
I 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy duty liquid detergent  
I 1 cup (240 ml) bleach  
Separate for cleaning.  
If necessary, loosen build-up with a clean, soft cloth after soaking. Do not use a stiff  
brush; you may roughen the surface of the dispenser.

Loading and using the washer.  
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.  
Sorting Wash Loads  
Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level,  
fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates),  
and whether the fabric produces lint (terry cloth,  
chenille), or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy).  
Proper Use of Detergent  
Add detergent as the wash basket fills with water,  
before you load clothes. Using too much detergent  
can be a common cause of laundry problems.  
Today’s detergents are formulated to be effective  
without highly visible sudsing. Be sure to carefully  
read and follow manufacturer’s recommendations  
for how much detergent to use in your wash. You  
can use less detergent if you have soft water,  
a smaller load, or a lightly soiled load.  
Loading the Washer  
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top  
row of holes in the washer basket. When loading  
wet items make sure you set the load/water level  
high enough to allow the items to move freely.  
Water level should just cover the clothes. To add  
items after washer has started, lift the lid and  
submerge additional items next to the agitator.  
I Do not wrap long items like sheets or pants around  
the agitator.  
I Do not wash fabrics containing flammable  
materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).  
I Agitation will not start with the lid up.
