Before using the washer for the first time, wipe the inside and outside
with a damp cloth to remove any travel dust that has accumulated. Operating
a rinse cycle to rinse out the washer is recommended. Front load, horizontal
axis washing machines require less detergent. Soap suds line should not
exceed the halfway point of the glass door.
To begin a wash load:
• Sort and pre-treat clothes.
• Add the measured amount of detergent suggested by the package
directions (maximum two tablespoons).
• Load the clothes loosely into the washer. Close the washer door.
• Turn the cycle selector knob to the desired temperature setting.
• Decide which washing cycle you wish to use. Turn the timer knob
clockwise to the desired wash setting.
• Select High or Medium spin (only for regular washing).
• Press the pushbutton ON.
• After the cycle is complete wait two minutes for the door lock to
release before attempting to open the door.
WARNING: Do not wash or dry articles that have previously been
cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning sol-
vents or other flammable or explosive substances. Do not add these
substances to the wash water as they produce vapors that could ignite
or explode. Do not use dryer to dry articles containing foam rubber
or similar textured, rubber-like materials. Clean the lint screen after
each use (if applicable), located in the top left corner on the back of
the washer. Keep the area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
areas free from lint, dust and dirt accumulation.
The removable drain screen, which protects the pump from lint and
foreign matter, needs to be cleaned periodically. The frequency in which
it is cleaned depends upon the type of clothes that are washed. Cotton
articles produce more lint than nylon articles. Under no circumstance
should the drain screen be removed while the machine is full of water. To
clean the drain screen, on an empty machine, open the service door by
pressing on the left hand side. Place a cloth or shallow tray under the
drain screen housing to catch any remaining water that may drip out. It
may be helpful to first set the machine to spin, then remove the drain
screen. This procedure reduces the amount of water released. Turn the
drain screen counterclockwise and pull the drain screen out. Clean the
screen to remove any dirt and lint. To replace the screen, slide it back
into the housing and turn it clockwise to secure. Close the service door.
NOTE: Check for water leaks before using the washer after
removing and replacing the drain screen.
