  • Page 5: Checking Your Vent

    CHECKING YOUR VENT Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying efficiency and shorten drying times. Use the minimum recommended installation clearances (found in your Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Refer to your Installation Instructions for more information.
  • Page 6: Washer Use

    WASHER USE 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 (on some models) that provides a thorough cleaning of the wash load.
  • Page 7: Starting Your Washer

    Starting Your Washer Fire Hazard Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids. No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
  • Page 8: Selecting A Cycle And Time

    Selecting a Cycle and Time This section describes the available wash cycles and will help you make the best cycle selections for your wash loads. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels. The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal.
  • Page 9: Dryer Use

    DRYER USE Starting Your Dryer Explosion Hazard Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer. Do not dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing). Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, explosion, or fire.

    Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load. Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle. Drying tips Follow care label directions when they are available. If you use fabric softener sheets, use only those labeled as dryer safe.

    WASHER/DRYER CARE 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 scoops or caps full of detergent.

  • Page 14: Troubleshooting Dryer

    Load is wrinkled 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.
