WASHER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and
obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER” or
“WARNING.” These words mean:
You will be killed or seriously injured if you
don’t follow instructions.
wDANGER
You can be killed or seriously injured if you
don’t follow instructions.
wWARNING
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what
can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the
washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Do not allow children to play on or in the

washer. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the washer is used near
children.
Before the washer is removed from
service or discarded, remove the door.
Do not reach into the washer if the tub or
agitator is moving.
Do not install or store the washer where it
will be exposed to the weather.
Do not wash articles that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked
in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, other flammable, or explosive
substances as they give off vapours that
could ignite or explode.
Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning sol-
vents, or other flammable, or explosive
substances to the wash water. These
substances give off vapours that could
ignite or explode.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas
may be produced in a hot water system
that has not been used for 2 weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the
washing machine, turn on all hot water
faucets and let the water flow from each
for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.

Do not tamper with controls.

Do not repair or replace any part of the

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. Refer to “Understanding
normal washer sounds” to learn more about the
sounds you may hear during a wash cycle.
Refer to “Understanding what happens in each

The Hand Washables cycle features a brief period

agitation, 28 seconds soak) which is repeated for
six minutes. Low spin speed reduces wrinkling.
Use this cycle for cleaning lightly soiled hand
washables.
Cycles may vary with model

The Regular cycle features high speed agitation.
High spin speeds shorten drying time. Use 6 (Light)
or 12 (Normal) minutes of wash time for cleaning
sturdy cotton and linen fabrics that are moderately
or heavily soiled.

To reduce wrinkling, this cycle features a
cool-down rinse and a low speed final spin.
(on some models)
The Soak cycle features a brief period of agitation
and soak time to help remove heavy soils and
stains that need pretreatment. The soak period will
continue as long as you like. Thirty minutes or less
is recommended for most situations.
Delicate cycle
(on some models)
The Delicate cycle features a reduced agitation
speed for gentle soil removal. Low spins reduce
wrinkling. Use this 6-minute cycle for cleaning
delicate items and washable knits that are lightly
or moderately soiled.
Use warm water when soaking laundry. Hot
water can set stains.

Use the amount of detergent or presoak additive
recommended by the manufacturer.

MAGIC CLEAN* LINT FILTER
Your washer has a MAGIC CLEAN lint filter at the
bottom of the basket. Wash and rinse water flow
over the filter during agitation, separating the lint
from the water. The lint spins out of the system
during the spin part of the cycle.

UNDERSTANDING NORMAL WASHER SOUNDS
Your new washer may make sounds your old one
didn’t. Because the sounds may be unfamiliar, you
may be concerned about them. Don’t be; most of
them are normal.
During drain
If water is drained quickly from your washer
(depending on your installation), you may hear air
being pulled through the pump during the end of
draining.
The following describes some of the sounds you
may hear and what causes them.
After drain and before spin
During washing
When the cycle changes from draining to spinning,
you may hear gears engaging.
When you select a small load size setting, your
washer has a lower water level. This may cause a
clicking sound from the upper part of the agitator.

NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only
cleaners labeled as washer safe.
Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser
Flush dispenser periodically with warm water, as
shown. Remove the dispenser by grasping the top

removed. Do not add detergent or bleach to this
dispenser; it is for liquid fabric softener use only.
WINTER STORAGE, MOVING, VACATION CARE
To use washer again:
Install and store your washer where it will not
freeze. Because some water may stay in the
hoses, freezing can damage your washer. If storing
or moving your washer during freezing weather,
winterize it.
1. Flush water pipes and hoses.
2. Reconnect water inlet hoses.
3. Turn on both water faucets.
4. Reconnect power supply cord.
To winterize washer:
5. Run the washer through a complete cycle with
250 mL (1 cup) of detergent to clean out
antifreeze.
1. Shut off both water faucets.
2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
3. Put 1 L (1 quart) of R.V.-type antifreeze in

Operate your washer only when you are at home. If
you will be on vacation or not using your washer for
an extended period of time, you should:
4. Run washer on a drain and spin setting (see
the “Rinse/Drain and Spin” section) for about
30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and water.
Unplug the power supply cord or turn off electrical
power to the washer.
•
5. Unplug the power supply cord.
Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps
avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure
