(continued)
6. Set cycle selector knob and washer controls according to
type, size, and soil level of each load.
(See Operating Instructions card for your specific model controls.)
7. Start the washer.
Close the washer door and pull out the cycle selector knob. For your safety, the
door will automatically lock during the entire wash cycle.
• Washer will fill; water level will be lower than bottom of the door.
• Washer will tumble the load in one direction, pause, then tumble in the
other direction.
• To stop the washer, push in the cycle selector knob.
• To open the door during tumbling, push in the cycle selector knob. Wait for
the water to run off of the door.
• To change a cycle, push in the cycle selector knob and turn it clockwise to
the desired setting. Pull out the knob to restart the washer.
• To open the door during a spin cycle, push in the cycle selector knob and wait
approximately 1 minute. The door can then be opened. Do not force open the
locked door.
8. Remove items when the cycle is completed.
Place washed items in automatic dryer, line dry, or dry flat as directed by fabric
care label. Excess wrinkling, color transfer or odors may develop in items left in the
washer after the cycle has ended.
9. General Precautions
• If the dispenser drawer is pulled out more than 1-1/2" when the washer
is in operation, the washer will shut off. The Door Lock indicator light will
turn off and the door will be unlocked. Slowly close the drawer, and the washer
will automatically resume operation.
• Do not slam the washer door closed or try to force the door open when
locked (Door Lock light ON). This could result in damage to the washer.
• DO NOT leave the washer door open. An open door could entice children to
hang on the door or crawl inside the washer.
• To avoid damaging the washer and personal injury, DO NOT hang on or lean
against the washer door.
• Do not place detergent, bleach or fabric softener containers on top of the
washer. They can damage the finish or controls.
Safe Stain Removal Procedures
To reduce the risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property,
comply with the basic warnings listed below:
• Read and comply with all instructions on stain removal products.
• Keep stain removal products in their original labeled containers and out of
children's reach.
• Thoroughly wash any utensil used.
• Do not combine stain removal products, especially ammonia and chlorine
bleach. Dangerous fumes may result.
• Never wash items which have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked
in or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other flammable or
explosive substances because they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
• Never use highly flammable solvents, such as gasoline, inside the home.
Vapors can explode on contact with flames or sparks.
Stain Removal

liquid chlorine bleach with other
household chemicals such as toilet
cleaners, rust removers, acid or

mixtures can produce dangerous
fumes which can cause serious injury
or death.
Do not store or place laundry products
