[] In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to
remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have
increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on
the surface of garments).
(Optional Step) OPTIONS selector (on some models). For an
additional rinse and spin at the end of a wash cycle, set the
Options selector to 2nd Rinse. On some models, the 2rid
Rinse feature is part of the cycle.
(Optional Step) SOIL LEVEL selector (on some models). Each
soil level setting is designed for different types of fabric and
soil levels.

WASHER CARE
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as
detergent or bleach from the outside of your washer.
Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine
bleach and enough detergent to equal twice the manufacturer's
recommended amount for a normal wash load. Pour this mixture
into your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot
water. Repeat this process if necessary.
NOTE: If your washer has the Auto Load Sensing feature, use
the Bulky cycle.
Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as
washer safe.
Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some models):
Style 1: To remove dispenser, grasp the top of the dispenser
with both hands. Squeeze and push upward with both thumbs
to remove. Flush the dispenser with warm water.

Reinstall the dispenser by aligning the two locking tabs on the
base of the dispenser with the two small slots on the top of the
agitator. Push the dispenser down until you hear it snap into
place. If you cannot get the locking tabs to snap into place,
check the seal. It must be positioned as shown in Step 2.

Style 2:
1. Hold the top agitator section with one hand. Using the
other hand, rotate the dispenser clockwise until it stops
(approximately 1" [2.54 cm]). To remove, lift the dispenser
straight up. Using a rocking motion, separate the top and base
of the dispenser. Wash three parts (the base, the cone-shaped
cup, and the top) with a mild detergent and warm water.
2. Making sure the pointed end of the cone-shaped cup is
pointed toward the base, assemble the three parts by
pressing the top and bottom sections together. For ease of
assembly, reassemble the dispenser with the parts upside
down. If the seal came off while removing the dispenser
from the agitator, install the seal as shown below.

IMPORTANT: Some models are equipped with a liquid fabric
softener dispenser. To avoid damage to the washer or clothing,
do not wash clothes with the liquid fabric softener dispenser
removed or add detergent or bleach to this dispenser; it is for
liquid fabric softener only.
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose
failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges,
kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement
on the hose with a permanent marker or in the product record
section of this book.
Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage
your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing
weather, winterize it.
Winterizing your washer
1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet
hoses. Pour 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze into the basket.
2. Run washer on a drain and spin setting for about 30 seconds
to mix the antifreeze and remaining water.
3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
