USING YOUR WASHER
1.
Sort and prepare your laundry
2.
Add laundry products
n Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can pass under the washplate and become trapped, causing unexpected sounds.
n Sort garments by recommended cycle, water temperature, and colorfastness. n Separate heavily soiled garments from lightly soiled. n Separate delicate garments from sturdy fabrics. n Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing; heat can set stains into fabric.
n Treat stains promptly. n Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes.
Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
n Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to garments during washing.
Helpful Tips:
n When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load evenly.
See “Cycle Guide” for tips and more information on using the
Bulky cycle. n Use mesh bags to help avoid tangling when washing delicate or small items.
n Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions to avoid damage to your garments.
Add a measured amount of detergent or single-dose laundry packet into the basket.
If using Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals, add to the bottom of the washer basket before adding clothes.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of landry products to use.
3.
Load laundry into washer
For best performance, it is recommended to load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Try mixing different-sized garments to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Garments need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
9
NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets or fabric softener crystals to dispensers. They will not dispense correctly.
4.
Add HE detergent to dispenser
Detergent dispenser
6.
Add liquid fabric softener to dispenser
Fabric softener dispenser
Add a measured amount of HE detergent into detergent dispenser.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in 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.
HELPFUL TIP: See “Washer Maintenance” for information on recommended method of cleaning washer dispensers.
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into dispenser; always follow manufacturer’s directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size.
Then select Fabric Softener option.
IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option must be selected to ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle. Do not overfill or dilute.
Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer.
If Extra Rinse option is selected, fabric softener will be dispensed in the last rinse.
NOTE: Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this washer. They will not dispense correctly.
5.
Add liquid chlorine bleach or Oxi product to dispenser
7.
Press POWER/CANCEL to turn on washer
Liquid chlorine bleach dispenser
Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 3/4 cup (180 mL). Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach. For maximum soil and stain removal, you may use the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser for liquid chlorine bleach, color-safe bleach, or Oxi product laundry boosters.
IMPORTANT: If using an Oxi product, be sure to select the Oxi Treat Stains button. Use the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser for Oxi products.

NOTE: This washer does not include inlet hoses.
See the Installation Instructions for more information.
WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and Performing at its Best
1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended amount because that may increase the rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing residue.
Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer
Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer.
Cleaning the Inside of the Washer
To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions provided above, and use this recommended monthly cleaning procedure:
WASHER CARE (cont.)
Clean Washer Cycle

The Clean Washer Cycle Operation is described below.
NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must be interrupted, press POWER/CANCEL. (For models with no Power/Cancel button, press and hold START/PAUSE for three seconds). After the Clean Washer cycle has stopped, run a Rinse/Drain & Spin cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.
2. Chlorine Bleach Procedure (Alternative):
a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items.
b. Add 1 cup (236 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.
NOTE: Use of more liquid chlorine bleach than is recommended
above could cause washer damage over time.
c. Close the washer lid.
d. Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the washer when following this procedure.
e. Select the CLEAN WASHER cycle.
f. Press the START/PAUSE button to begin the cycle.
The Clean Washer Cycle Operation is described below.
NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must be interrupted, press POWER/CANCEL. (For models with no
Power/Cancel button, press and hold START/PAUSE for three seconds). After the Clean Washer cycle has stopped, run a Rinse/Drain & Spin cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.
Description of Clean Washer Cycle Operation:
1. This cycle will fill to a water level higher than in normal wash cycles to provide rinsing at a level above the water line for normal wash cycle.
2. During this cycle, there will be some agitation and spinning to increase the removal of soils.
After this cycle is complete, leave the lid open to allow for better ventilation and drying of the washer interior.
Cleaning the Dispensers
After a period of using your washer, you may find some residue buildup in the washer’s dispensers. To remove residue from the dispensers, wipe them with a damp cloth and towel dry.
Do not attempt to remove the dispensers or trim for cleaning.
The dispensers and trim are not removable. If your model has a dispenser drawer, however, remove the drawer and clean it before or after you run the Clean Washer cycle. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
Cleaning the Outside of the Washer
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any spills. Use only mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning external washer surfaces.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s finish, do not use abrasive products.
12
NON-USE AND VACATION CARE
Operate your washer only when you are home. If moving, or not using your washer for a period of time, follow these steps:
1. Unplug or disconnect power to washer.
2. Turn off water supply to washer, to avoid flooding due to water pressure surge.
WINTER STORAGE CARE
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage, install and store washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in hoses, freezing can damage washer. If storing or moving during freezing weather, winterize your washer.
To winterize washer:
1. Shut off both water faucets; disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
2. Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in basket and run washer on RINSE/DRAIN & SPIN cycle for about 30 seconds to mix antifreeze and remaining water.
