Safety Information • • • • • • • • • • • • Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or agitator, if applicable, is moving. Never operate the washer with any guards, panels and/or parts removed or broken. DO NOT tamper with the controls or bypass any safety devices. Use your washer only for its intended purpose, washing clothes. Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.
Operation Operation Before Washing Sort Items Prepare Wash Load Different items use different wash cycles and temperatures. Always follow the manufacturer’s care label. 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.
Operation • • IMPORTANT: If in doubt, always use a larger load size. Most average loads will require a water setting between Medium and Extra Large. Failure to have the correct volume of water relative to the load will increase the incidence of excessive lint. 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. Drop items loosely into the washtub. The bulk of the clothes rather than the weight will determine load size.
Operation Wash Temperature Guide Water Use Temperature HOT • • • • WARM • • • • COLD • • Sturdy whites and colorfast items Work clothes Soiled items Diapers Comments • Best cleaning for items soiled with oily or greasy stains, grass, or ink.

Operating Your Washer into the bottle measuring cap (refer to bottle directions). Pour into dispenser. The large fabric softener dispenser allows for the fabric softener to be diluted with water. We recommend adding water up to the fill level. Do not exceed tip of arrow which indicates correct fill level. Overfilling can allow fabric softener to spill onto the clothes, causing stains on clothes if the softener comes into contact with detergent suds.
Clothing Care Clothing Care 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 Problem Gray or Dingy Clothes minerals on them. If you notice that your clothes are not as bright as they should be, take corrective measures immediately. Cause Insufficient Detergent Solution Add more detergent to washtub before loading clothes. Mild detergents are not suitable for average soil.
Clothing Care Problem Excessive Lint Cause Solution Improper Sorting Fabrics that shed lint cannot be washed with fabrics that receive lint. Insufficient Detergent/Non-phosphate Detergent Use enough detergent so lint remains suspended in water and flushed out. Do not oversuds the water. Mixing Fabric Types Knits and permanent press attract lint. Wash these only with similar items. Use fabric softener in rinse water.
Maintenance Maintenance Cold Weather Care Vacations and Extended Non-Use If the unit 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 the washer until it has had a chance to warm up. Water from the previous cycle may remain. IMPORTANT: To avoid possible property damage due to flooding, turn off the water supply to the washer whenever there will be an extended period of non-use.
Maintenance Shipping Plug The plastic shipping plug should be saved and reinstalled any time the washer is moved. The plug fits into two openings: The base opening and the shipping plug opening on the bottom of the movable pivot dome. The plug MUST be inserted into both openings to prevent damage to the washer. In order to accomplish this, the shipping plug opening must be directly lined up with the base opening. Refer to illustration below. 1 2 3 4 1. 2. 3. 4.
