How
To Use Your
Washer...
Operation
Instructions
-- _WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, serious
injury or death to persons,
read the IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS,
Pages 4 and 5, before
operating the washer.
Determine
Proper
Cycle
Regular
Use for sturdy items, like play or
work clothes, towels, T-shirts, etc.
The wash time selection will
depend on the type of fabric and
the amount of soil. For the best
results when cleaning heavily
soiled items, use a longer wash
time (15 minutes maximum).
Lightly soiled items require less
wash time.
There are three settings in the
REGULAR cycle -- heavy,
normal and light. The number
shown next to these settings is
the length of agitation in minutes.
(For example: setting the timer on
Heavy will be a 15 minute
agitation).
Permanent
Prese/Knits
Use for permanent press items
and synthetics. The wash time
selection will depend upon the
type of fabric and amount of soil.
There are two settings in the
PERMANENT
PRESS/KNITS
cycle -- Normal and Light. The
number shown next to these
settings is the length of agitation
in minutes, (For example: Setting
the timer on Normal will be a nine
minute agitation).
The PERMANENT PRESS/KNITS
cycle automatically cools the
temperature of the fibers before
the spin. After wash the agitation
stops, the washtub spins slowly,
partially drains and then stops.
Cold water will then be
automatically added to the
washtub until the proper water
level is reached. This happens
one or two times, depending on
the size of the load and type of
drain connection. When the
COOL DOWN is complete, the
washer will pause for
approximately one minute before
continuing the cycle.
Delicate
Wash delicate items usually
washed by hand on this cycle. A
full tub of warm water is
recommended (even for small
loads) to allow the delicate items
to move freely through the water.
More water helps reduce fabric
wear, wrinkling, and provides for a
clean wash.
There are two settings in the
DELICATE cycle -- normal and
light. The number shown next to
these settings is the length of
agitation in minutes. (For
example: setting the timer on
Normal will be an eight minute
agitation, including pauses).
To Wash Clothes
IMPORTANT: Before using your
new washer, make sure the
washer cord is plugged into a
120 Volt electdcal outlet that has
the proper grounding and polarity.
Make sure the washer hoses are
connected to the hot and cold
water faucets, and that the
faucets are turned on. Be sure the
drain hose is not kinked and is
inserted into a drain. See the
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for details of proper washer
installation.
IMPORTANT: Before using the
washer for the first time, wipe out
the inside of the washtub with a
sudsy cloth.
1. Get the clothes ready for
washing. Empty pockets and
cuffs. Sort items into separate
loads. Pretreat stains and
heavily soiled areas.
2. Measure and add detergent to
the washtub.
3. Add clothes loosely into the
washtub. The bulk of the
clothes rather than the weight
will determine load size.
4. Close the loading door. The
washer will not agitate or spin
with the loading door open.
