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, cause tears and plug the pump. 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

TLW1990N

TLW1990N

Little holes can become bigger in the washer. Mend holes and tears before placing garments in the washer.

Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks

2. Sort by Fabric and Construction:

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

Cottons

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

3. Sort by Temperature:

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

Cold

TLW1991

TLW1991N

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.

Sorting 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

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

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.

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.

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.

Bulky Items

• Use the HANDWASH/DELICATE cycle for bulky items such as blankets and comforters. The cycle includes gentle agitation to clean items delicately and thoroughly. The extra rinse cycle may be selected to ensure complete removal of soap residue. A final spin extracts the moisture at a low speed to maintain the load’s balance and minimize wear to the articles.

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.

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.

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 (select models only) is useful in preventing wrinkles on certain fabrics. Check labels for fabric manufacturer’s recommendations.

-7-

802753


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.

Wash Temperature Guide

NOTE: In wash temperatures colder than 60 o

(16 o

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.

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.

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 non-HE detergent, avoid oversudsing by using only 1/2 of the detergent manufacturer's 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.

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.

-16-

802753


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.

It is not necessary to remove the dispenser drawer for normal maintenance. If the dispenser drawer needs to be removed for any reason, use dispenser drawer removal tool, Part No. 318P4, to avoid damage to the drawer.
