Press HOLD TO START to continue the cycle.)

Sanitary

Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This cycle combines a super hot water temperature and fast speed tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120°F (49°C) to ensure proper performance during this cycle. The Sanitary cycle also helps eliminate 99.999% of 3 common infectious bacteria, even when no bleach is used. Extra high speed spin helps shorten drying time.

Whitest Whites

This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time and high-speed spin to shorten drying times.

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten drying times.

Normal/Casual

Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics, such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle combines medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load cooling process to reduce wrinkling.

14

Delicate/Hand Washables

Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care garments.

Similar to the way garments are handwashed in a sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of low speed tumbling and soaking. Low speed spin reduces wrinkling.

Soak

Use the Soak cycle to remove small spots of set-in stains on fabrics. This cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water followed by drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal distribution of the laundry, and a soaking time without drum movement, improve the removal of set-in stains. Drain without spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles.

Rinse/Spin

Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling and high-speed spin. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the

SPIN SPEED modifier.

A Rinse/Spin cycle is useful for

•

Loads that need rinsing only.

•

Adding fabric softener to a load.

Drain/Spin

Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is preset to high. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the

SPIN SPEED modifier.

NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, handwashables, and woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin speed to avoid fabric stress.

Preparing clothes for washing

Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.

• Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency."

This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance.

It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

• Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.

• Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.

• Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

• Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

• Treat spots and stains.

• Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results.

Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, and load evenly.

Wash small items, such as infant socks, in a mesh garment bags. To create a balanced load it is recommend that more than one garment bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.

NOTE: If only washing garments in mesh bags, it is recommend that more than one garment bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergenL

Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

• Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.

16

Sorting

• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers

(towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics, permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.

Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from noncolorfast items.

Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).

Unloading

• Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed.

Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if left in the washer basket for a long time.

• When unloading garments, occasionally check under the rubber rim at the front of the tub for small items.

Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?

Use the Handwash/Delicate cycle or another cycle with a low spin speed to reduce wrinkling.

•

Did you overload the washer?

The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded.

Loads should tumble freely during washing.

Gray whites, dingy colors

• Did you properly

sort the load?

Dye transfer can occur when mixing whites and colors in a load. Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.

• Was the wash temperature too low?

Use hot or warm washes if safe for the load. Make sure your hot water system is adequate to provide a hot water wash.

• Did you use enough detergent, or do you have hard water?

Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard water.

Cycle too long

• Is "SUD"

shown in the display?

Excessive sudsing has been detected, and a suds routine has been started to reduce excessive suds. This routine will add time to the original cycle.

•

Did the load cause imbalance?

When too much imbalance occurs, an imbalance routine will start to distribute the load. During the imbalance routine the time displayed may pause until this activity is complete, then resume with the remainder of the cycle.

•

Did you select the Handwash/Delicate wash cycle?

When using Handwash/Delicate wash cycle you should use small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments without increasing cycle times.

•

Did you wash a large load using a gentle cycle?

When using the Hand Washables or Delicate cycles, use small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments without increasing cycle times.

Door locked at end of wash cycle

Did all of the water drain out of the washer during the spin?

Select DRAIN/SPIN to remove any water remaining in the washer. The washer door will unlock at the end of the drain.

INSTRUCCIONES IMPORTANTES DE SEGURIDAD

ADVERTENCIA:

Para reducir el riesgo de incendio, choque el_ctrico o lesiones a personas al usar su lavadora, siga las precauciones basicas, incluyendo las siguientes: m Lea todas las instrucciones antes de usar la lavadora.

[] No lave articulos que hayan sido previamente limpiados, lavados, remojados o humedecidos con gasolina, solventes para lavar en seco, u otras sustancias inflamables o explosivas ya que _stas emanan vapores que podrian encenderse o causar una explosi6n.

[] No agregue gasolina, solventes para lavar en seco, u otras sustancias inflamables o explosivas al agua de lavado. Estas sustancias emanan vapores que podrian encenderse o causar una explosi6n.

[] En ciertas condiciones, puede generarse gas hidr6geno en un sistema de agua caliente que no se haya usado por dos semanas o un periodo mayor.

EL GAS HIDROGENO ES EXPLOSIVO.

Si no se ha usado el agua caliente durante dicho periodo, antes de usar la lavadora, abra todos los grifos de agua caliente y deje que corra el agua por varios minutos.

Esto liberara todo el gas hidr6geno que se haya acumulado.

Debido a la inflamabilidad de dicho gas, no fume ni use una llama abierta durante este lapso.

[] No permita que los ni_os jueguen encima o dentro de la lavadora. Es necesario una supervisi6n cuidadosa de los niRos toda vez que se use la lavadora cerca de ellos.

[] Antes de poner la lavadora fuera de servicio o desecharla, quitele la puerta o la tapa.

[] No introduzca las manos en la lavadora si el tambor, la tina, o el agitador estan funcionando.

[] No instale ni almacene esta lavadora donde pudiese estar sometida a la intemperie.

[] No trate de forzar los controles.

[] No repare ni cambie pieza alguna de la lavadora ni intente realizar tarea alguna de servicio t_cnico, excepto cuando asi se le indique especificamente en este manual o en instrucciones de reparaci6n para el usuario publicadas, que usted entienda y para cuya ejecuci6n cuente con la habilidad necesaria.

[] Para obtener informaci6n respecto a los requisitos de conexi6n a tierra, refi_rase a los "Requisitos El_ctricos".

La seleccion de una ubicacion apropiada para su lavadora realza el rendimiento y reduce al minimo el ruido y la posible "caminata" de la lavadora.

La instalacion de su lavadora puede ser debajo de un mostrador hecho a la medida, en un sotano, en un cuarto de lavanderia, en un closet o en una zona empotrada.

Vea "Sistema de desagQe."

Debera tenerse en cuenta tambien los requisitos para la ubicacion de otro electrodomestico acompa_ante.

La instalacion correcta es responsabilidad suya.

Usted necesitara

• Un calentador de agua fijado para suministrar a la lavadora el agua a 120°F (49°C).

• Un contacto electrico con conexion a tierra ubicado a una distancia de no mas de 6 pies (1,8 m) del lugar donde el cable electrico esta fijado a la parte posterior de la lavadora.

Vea "Requisitos electricos".

• Los grifos de agua caliente y de agua fria ubicados a una distancia de no mas de 4 pies (1,2 m) de las valvulas de

Ilenado del agua caliente y fria y una presion de agua de 20-

100 Ib/pulg 2 (137,9 - 689,6 kPa).

• Un piso nivelado con un declive maximo de 1" (2,5 cm) debajo de la lavadora. No se recomienda instalar la lavadora sobre pisos alfombrados o superficies con reverso de espuma.

• Un piso resistente y firme que soporte la lavadora con un peso total (del agua y de la carga) de 400 libras (180 kg).

No ponga a funcionar su lavadora a temperaturas inferiores a

32°F (0°C). Puede quedar algo de agua en la lavadora y podria ocasionar da_os a bajas temperaturas.

Espacios libres para la instalaci6n

• La ubicacion debe ser Io suficientemente grande para permitir que la puerta de la lavadora abra completamente.

• Se debe considerar espacio adicional para facilitar la instalacion y el servicio.

• Es posible que se requieran espacios libres adicionales para moldes de pared, puerta y piso.

• Se recomienda un espacio libre adicional de 1" (2,5 cm) en todos los lados de la lavadora para reducir la transferencia de ruidos.

Tambien se debe considerar un espacio para un electrodom6stico compar_ero.
