USING YOUR WASHER Understanding Washer Cycles When the Cycle Control knob is set to a number and pulled out, the washer fills (to the selected load size) before agitation and timing start. The washer begins agitating immediately after filling; agitation occurs with the washer lid up or down. During agitation, the agitator creates a continuous rollover action that provides a thorough cleaning of the wash load.
■ Starting Your Washer To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and some synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide more space (see step 5). 2. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach into the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser. Bleach will be diluted automatically during the wash part of the cycle. Fire Hazard Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids. ■ Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load.

CARING FOR YOUR WASHER Cleaning Your Washer Cleaning the exterior Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as detergent or bleach. Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking new. Cleaning the interior Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent. Pour this into your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot water. Repeat this process if necessary.
TROUBLESHOOTING First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call... Washer won’t drain or spin ■ Is the drain hose clogged, or the end of the drain hose more than 72 inches (183 cm) above the floor? See the Installation Instructions for proper installation of drain hose. ■ Is the lid open? The lid must be closed during operation. ■ Is there excessive sudsing? Always measure detergent. Follow manufacturer’s directions.
Washer leaks ■ Check the following: Are the fill hoses tight? Are the fill hose washers properly seated? Is the drain hose clamp properly installed? See the Installation Instructions. ■ Is the sink or drain clogged? Sink and standpipe must be able to handle 17 gallons (64 L) of water per minute. ■ Is water deflecting off the tub ring or the load? Center the tub before starting the washer. The wash load should be balanced and not overloaded. The fill or spray rinses can deflect off the load.
Load is wrinkled ■ Did you unload the washer promptly? Unload the washer as soon as it stops. ■ Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Use the Permanent Press cycle or another cycle with low spin speeds (if available) to reduce wrinkling. ■ ■ ■ Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads should move freely during washing.
