5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two 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 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. THE GAS IS

FLAMMABLE. DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN

OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.

6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children. This is a safety rule for all appliances.

15. Install the washer according to the

Installation Instructions. All connections for water, drain, electrical power and grounding must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself unless you know how!

16. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes which have traces of any flammable substances such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and cleaning cloths, must not be put into the washer. These flammable substances may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.

7. Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum is moving.

9. Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

10. Do not tamper with the controls.

17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

Operation

Before Washing

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 and cause tears. 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.

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.

Put Small Items in Bag

Small items such as baby socks may get stuck around the door. Put them inside a mesh garment bag.

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:

1. Sort by Color:

Separate items into loads of whites, darks, lights and noncolorfast.

Whites

TLW1991N

TLW1991N

TLW1990N

TLW1990N

2. Sort by Fabric and Construction:

Separate items into loads of cottons/linens, permanent press, synthetics/blends/poly knits, and delicates.

Cottons

3. Sort by Temperature:

Separate items into loads that can be washed in cold, warm or hot water.

Cold

TLW1991

TLW1991N

4. Sort by Type and Amount of Soil:

Heavily soiled clothes will need extra treatment. Lightly soiled clothes can become dingy if washed with heavily soiled items.

5. Sort Lint “Shedders” From Lint “Receivers”:

Some fabrics attract lint and should not be washed with lint-shedding loads. Lint shedders are cottons, terry towels, chenille bedspreads, rugs and clothes that have been heavily bleached.

Lint receivers are synthetics, permanent or durable press, knits (including socks), corduroy, and other smooth fabrics.

Pretreat

-6-

802759

Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pretreat product or liquid detergent when placing them in the washer. Before washing, treat special stains individually. Refer to Stain Removal section for procedures on treating specific stains.

W A R N I N G

Do not wash or dry items soiled with vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils may remain after washing and may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.

W527

The time needed to reach this temperature may add an additional 30 to 60 minutes to the cycle time. Hot water is the most effective for cleaning but it is not recommended for all fabric types

(read labels).

NOTE: The Boosted Hot Wash can be turned off by changing the cycle selector knob to OFF and restarting a cycle with a different water temperature setting.

Loading the Washer

Load Articles

• Load items by the amount of space they take up, not by their weight. Mix large and small items in a load to get the best washing results.

• Load items loosely into the wash drum. The bulk of the clothes rather than the weight will determine load size.

Load Sizes

• Load sizes vary. Small and large items should be washed together to create a balanced load. If washing a large item, two bath towels should be added to even the load.

• Smaller loads can create an unbalanced condition and cause premature wear on the washer. Do not hesitate to fill the entire inner drum of the washer. The load will compress a great deal when wet. This allows room for proper tumbling.

Water Level

• The washer will automatically adjust the water level to the type and size of the load during any fill.

Wash Temperature

Boosted Hot Water (on select models only)

The Boosted Hot Wash will boost the water temperature in the tub to 140°F (60°C) and is useful for improved cleaning of some loads. The red HEATING light will light up when heating. The cycle will not advance until 140°F (60°C) has been reached.

-7-

802759

Hot Water

The Hot Wash temperature is determined by the actual temperature of the hot water supplied to the washer. For models with Boosted Hot Wash, the heater element will not be on. Hot water is the most effective for cleaning, but it is not recommended for all fabric types (read labels).

Warm Water

The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough cleaning on lightly soiled clothing without damaging fabric or adding to color fading.

The Warm Rinse is useful in preventing wrinkles on certain fabrics. Check labels for fabric manufacturer’s recommendations.

Cold Water

The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items.

Although its cleaning abilities are not as great with hot or warm water, it is useful for colors that bleed easily and for sensitive fabrics.

The Cold Rinse is optional in every cycle and 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 o

F

(15 o

C), detergents do not dissolve well. This may cause ineffective cleaning, or lint and residue to form.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.

To Wash Clothes

IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer, make sure the washer cord is plugged into a

120 Volt electrical outlet that has the proper grounding and polarity. 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.

1. Get the clothes ready for washing. Empty pockets and cuffs. Sort items into separate loads. Pretreat stains and heavily soiled areas.

NOTE: High efficiency (HE) detergents are designed especially for frontload washers to reduce oversudsing and maximize cleaning results.

Look for the HE logo or “high efficiency” on the detergent’s label.

IMPORTANT: If using detergents made for topload washers, avoid oversudsing by using only 1/4 cup regular detergent (1/2 of the recommended amount).

3. Load clothes into wash drum. Refer to section on Load Sizes.

NOTE: Small items such as baby socks may get caught around the door. Place these articles inside a mesh garment bag.

IMPORTANT: Remove all sharp objects from laundry to avoid tears and rips to items during normal machine operation.

2. Measure and add low sudsing, high

efficiency (HE) detergent, fabric softener and bleach to the dispenser drawer. Refer to section on Using Your Dispenser Drawer.

Follow instructions on detergent package for amount to use.

6. Select EXTRA RINSE if desired.

The extra rinse control is useful for detergent sensitive skin. By pressing the EXTRA RINSE to

ON, the REGULAR, PERMANENT PRESS, and

HANDWASH/DELICATE cycles will each provide an additional rinse. If the rinse is desired, press the switch to ON. When the extra rinse is not wanted,

OFF should be selected.

7. Select the cycle according to the type of fabric being washed. Use the indicator dot on the cycle selector knob as a guide.

8. Press and hold the START button for two seconds to start the washer. The DOOR light will come on after a short delay, water fill will begin, and wash drum will begin tumbling.

NOTE: Washer door MUST be closed tightly to start washer.

If items need to be added or removed after a cycle has started, turn the cycle selector knob to the

OFF position. Wait until the DOOR light goes off

(approximately 45 seconds after cycle has been stopped), open door, add or remove items, and start the cycle again.

There is no agitator on this washer. Instead, the clothing gently tumbles through the water. The wash action consists of a period of tumbling in one direction, a brief pause, and then a reverse tumble in the opposite direction. The pauses are part of the tumble action and add to the unique cleaning capabilities of the washer. They are part of the cycle.

NOTE: There will be extended pauses when

Boosted Hot Wash, if available, is selected because the water is being heated.

TLW2000N

-11-

802759

To Change Cycles

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. Once the washer has filled for the first part of the cycle (the wash portion), the current cycle must be aborted and a new cycle must be started.

To change the cycle before the first fill is complete:

Change the cycle selected on the cycle selector knob.

To change the cycle after the first fill is complete and before the first wash is complete:

1. Abort the current cycle by changing the cycle selector knob to the OFF position.

2. Set the WASH/RINSE temperature selector.

3. Set cycle selector knob.

4. Turn on extra rinse, if desired.

5. Press and hold the START button for two seconds.

To change the cycle after the first wash is complete:

NOTE: This should only be done if the speed of the final extract is incorrect for the fabric being washed. For example, if washing delicate items on the REGULAR cycle, the high speed extract may damage the fabric. Or, if washing towels or jeans on the DELICATE cycle, the lower speed extract would increase drying time.

1. Abort the current cycle by changing the cycle selector switch to the OFF position.

2. Restart the cycle from the beginning. Refer to the To Wash Clothes section.

To Pump Out Water After Aborting Cycle

Run a SPIN ONLY cycle. This cycle will perform a high speed extract operation that will pump all of the water out of the washer.

Manual Soaking

To soak a clothes load, start a wash in the desired cycle. After fill is complete and wash drum has started tumbling, turn the cycle selector knob to OFF. When the clothes have soaked the desired length of time, turn the cycle selector knob to the cycle and press the start button to restart the cycle.

DOOR Light

When the washer is started, the DOOR light will come on after a short delay. The light will turn off approximately 45 seconds after the cycle is complete.

WASH Light

This light comes on during the wash part of each cycle.

RINSE Light

This light comes on for the rinse portion of each cycle.

FINAL SPIN Light

This light comes on while the wash load is in the final spin of the cycle.

HEATING Light (Red Light – on select models only)

This light comes on during the Boosted Hot setting only. While the washer is heating, the

HEATING light will turn on.

Out of Balance Load

If at the end of the cycle, the load is dripping wet, the washer has limited the spin speed. This is to prevent damage to the unit if there is a severely unbalanced load.

If this condition occurs, redistribute the load manually and run a RINSE & SPIN cycle.

If the condition persists, consider steps discussed in the Before Washing section.

Detergent

Bleach

Fabric Softener

Detergent Compartment

The detergent compartment is located on the right side of the dispenser drawer. Refer to compartment 1 of illustration.

Use low sudsing, high efficiency (HE) powdered or liquid detergents that are recommended for use with frontload washers. Powdered bleach can also be used in the dispenser along with the detergent.

NOTE: High efficiency (HE) detergents are designed especially for frontload washers to reduce oversudsing and maximize cleaning results.

Look for the HE logo or “high efficiency” on the detergent’s label.

NOTE: If using detergents made for topload washers, avoid oversudsing by using only 1/4 cup regular detergent (1/2 of the recommended amount).

When adding detergent, use only the recommended amount. Adding too much detergent or using regular sudsing detergent could result in an oversudsing condition, which would require additional rinsing with cold water.

Use care when adding detergent so as not to spill into the other compartments. Detergent mixed with fabric softener can make the softener gummy.

NOTE: The normal level of suds should be below center of the door.

-15-

802759

Liquid Bleach Compartment

The bleach compartment is located in the left front corner of the dispenser drawer. Refer to compartment 2 of illustration. It has been designed to prevent the dispensing of undiluted bleach onto the clothes load.

Use liquid bleach in the dispenser. Powdered

bleach must not be used in this compartment.

Powdered bleach can be used in the detergent compartment only and can be added along with the detergent.

DO NOT use more than the maximum level

indicated for the bleach compartment. Adding more than the maximum amount could result in early dispensing of the product and possible damage to fabrics.

Carefully pour recommended amount of bleach into the compartment before starting wash load.

Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach. It is a strong chemical and can damage some fabrics if it is not properly diluted. Follow bleach manufacturer’s label for proper use.

Carefully close dispenser door. Do not allow bleach to spill into other compartments.

Fabric Softener Compartment

The fabric softener compartment is located in the left rear corner of the dispenser drawer. Refer to compartment 3 of illustration.

Use no more than the maximum level indicated for the fabric softener compartment. Adding more than the maximum amount could result in early dispensing of the product and possible staining of fabrics.

Add fabric softener to compartment before beginning wash load. The fabric softener will be dispensed during the last rinse cycle.

Carefully close dispenser door. Do not allow softener to spill into other compartments.

To Clean the Dispenser

Pour hot water into the dispenser drawer, making sure it flushes through each compartment. Use a small brush to thoroughly clean out any residue.

Sweaters of Manufactured Fibers

Wool Items

Permanent Press

• Follow directions for comparable knits.

• Button sweaters and turn inside out.

• Stretch to shape after washing.

• Avoid pulling when wet.

• Unless labeled “machine washable,” wash by hand.

• Wash often. Permanent press clothes tend to look clean even when they should be washed.

• Do not wash with lint-shedding loads.

• Pretreat grease stains and oily areas.

• Use the PERMANENT PRESS cycle, hot or warm water, cold rinse and recommended amount of low-sudsing detergent.

Clothing Concerns

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.

Problem

Gray or Dingy Clothes

Yellowed Clothes

Clothes Tearing or Damaged

Excessive Lint

Wrinkling

Cause

Insufficient Detergent

Solution

Add recommended amount of low-sudsing detergent to dispenser drawer before loading clothes. Mild detergents are not suitable for average soil.

Improper Sorting

Water Not Hot Enough

Unremoved Soil 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 or powered bleach may be needed.

Clothes Stained from Iron in the

Water

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.

Older Clothes

Improper Use of Chlorine Bleach No correction for bleach damaged clothes.

Always keep level at or below maximum in bleach dispenser compartment.

Insufficient Precare

Some white fabrics turn yellow with age and cannot be whitened.

Improper Sorting

Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend tears.

Remove objects from pockets.

Fabrics that shed lint cannot be washed with fabrics that receive lint.

Insufficient Detergent

Wash whites separately. Separate light from heavily soiled items. Clothes can pick up soil from dirty wash water.

White clothes will stay whiter with hot wash water. Increase temperature.

Mixing Fabric Types

Improper Sorting

Improper Cycle

Improper Temperature

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 dispenser drawer.

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.

Use

• Use a pretreating agent and soak overnight to remove stains and soils.

• Always follow manufacturer’s instructions with any pretreat product (Spray ‘N Wash, Shout*, etc.).

• Use low-sudsing, high efficiency (HE) detergent

(recommended for frontload washers) in your washer.

• When using detergents made for topload washers, use

1/2 of the recommended amount to prevent oversudsing. Using these detergents may decrease cleaning performance.

• Use to remove certain stains, disinfect, and keep clothes white.

• Do not use powered bleach in the bleach dispenser compartments. Powdered bleach can be used in the detergent compartment only.

• Use liquid bleach in the proper dispenser compartment only. Do not add bleach to the wash load.

• Follow directions on care label of garment.

• Do not use bleach as a substitute for detergent.

• In some cases, mild bleaching may be accomplished using white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide or lemon juice as a pretreater.

•

•

Use to soften clothes and remove static electricity from permanent press knits and other fabrics of manufactured fibers.

Add to the fabric softener dispenser compartment.

Follow bottle directions carefully.

*Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.

Comments

• Do not use a pretreating agent with chlorine bleach.

• Do not use pretreaters around the washer or dryer control panel. They may harm the finish or panel markings.

• Soap and powered detergent will not give good washing results in hard water. Soap in hard water will form sticky deposits.

• We do not recommend the use of powered soap when washing in cold water.

• Always measure the bleach. Never exceed maximum level on bleach dispenser.

• Never use chlorine bleach and ammonia in the same wash cycle.

• Add powdered bleach along with the detergent.

• Always test to be sure that the product will not damage fabric by applying to a small part of the fabric that is not easily seen.

• Do not add fabric softener directly to load. Use fabric softener dispenser.

• Do not mix with detergent or bleach.

• Do not fill past maximum level on dispenser compartment.

Stain Removal

• Many soils will not become stains if treated promptly. Older stains may be difficult or impossible to remove. Hot water will set some stains, particularly protein based stains. Use cold or warm water on these before washing in hot water.

• Always follow the instructions on the clothing care label and instructions on stain removal products.

• When removing a stain, treat the stain from the back of the fabric unless otherwise noted. This will force the stain off the surface instead of driving it through the fabric.

• If you are not sure if a treatment is safe for the fabric, test a small part of the fabric that is not easily seen to make sure it will not become damaged.

W A R N I N G

Never put highly flammable substances like gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, dry cleaning solvents, etc. into a washer or dryer. Never put articles that have been cleaned with such substances into a washer or dryer. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in a fire, explosion, and/or serious burns or death. All items with these substances on them should be thoroughly hand-washed with a detergent so that no trace of the flammable substances remains. The articles can then be machine washed and/or dried.

Maintenance

Lubrication

• All moving parts are sealed in a permanent supply of lubricant or are equipped with oilless bearings. Additional lubrication will not be necessary.

Cold Weather Care

• If the washer 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 it until the washer has had a chance to warm up.

Care of Your Washer

• Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel. Some spray pretreat products may harm the finish on the control panel or damage the interior of the hood.

• 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.

• The wash drum and window will need no particular care although they may need rinsing or wiping after an unusual load has been washed.

• The outside of the door window can be cleaned with household window cleaner.

Cleaning Glass Sealing Area

In order to assure that the door properly seals against water leaks, the following surfaces should be wiped off periodically:

• The outside perimeter of the door glass where the seal contacts the glass

• The front surface of the door seal lip

Usually a mild soap solution will work. If there is an extreme build-up of minerals from a hard water supply, the surfaces may need to be cleaned with a lime removal chemical.

Replacing Hoses

• Hoses and other natural 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 yearly 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.

Filter Screens

• Check the filter screens in the fill hoses for debris or damage annually. 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. F270300 from the nearest authorized parts distributor.
