personal safety of the operator, user, servicer, and

those maintaining the machine.

Additional precautionary statements (“IMPORTANT”

and “NOTE”) are followed by specific instructions.

IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT” is used

to inform the reader of specific procedures where

minor machine damage will occur if the procedure

information that is important but not hazard

related.

Important Safety Instructions

Save These Instructions

1. Read all instructions before using the washer.

2. Install the washer according to the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to the

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in the

INSTALLATION manual for the proper

grounding of the washer. All connections for

water, drain, electrical power and grounding must

comply with local codes and be made by licensed

personnel when required. Do not do it yourself

unless you know how!

3. Do not install or store the washer where it will be

exposed to water and/or weather.

4. Do not add the following substances or textiles

containing traces of the following substances to

the wash water: gasoline, kerosene, waxes,

cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils, dry-

cleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners

or other flammable or explosive substances.

These substances give off vapors that could

ignite, explode or cause the fabric to catch on fire

by itself.

5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been

used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS

IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not

been used for such a period, before using a

washing machine or combination washer-dryer,

turn on all hot water faucets and let the water

flow from each for several minutes. This will

release any accumulated hydrogen gas. THE

GAS IS FLAMMABLE, DO NOT SMOKE OR

USE AN OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.

6. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO

NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to

connect the washer to the electrical power

source.

Indicates an imminently hazardous

situation that, if not avoided, will cause

severe personal injury or death.

DANGER

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not

avoided, could cause severe personal

injury or death.

WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not

7. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.

Close supervision of children is necessary when

the washer is used near children. This appliance

is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning the use of

the appliance by a person responsible for their

safety. This is a safety rule for all appliances.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or

agitator is moving.

9. Never operate the washer with any guards, panels

and/or parts removed or broken. DO NOT tamper

with the controls or bypass any safety devices.

10. Use your washer only for its intended purpose,

washing clothes. Always follow the fabric care

instructions supplied by the garment

manufacturer.

11. Always read and follow manufacturer’s

instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning

aids. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical

burns, keep them out of the reach of children at

all times (preferably in a locked cabinet). Heed

all warnings or precautions.

12. Do not use fabric softeners or products to

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

13. Lid MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is

to agitate or spin. DO NOT bypass the lid switch

by permitting the washer to agitate or spin with

the lid open. A brake will stop the washtub

within seconds if the lid is opened during

spinning. If the washtub does not stop when the

lid is opened, remove the washer from use and

call the service person.

14. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve

and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE

the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.

15. Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or

dropping the washer can damage safety features.

If this occurs, have your washer checked by a

qualified service person.

16. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or

attempt any servicing unless specifically

recommended in the user-maintenance

instructions or in published user-repair

instructions that you understand and have the

skills to carry out. ALWAYS disconnect the

washer from electrical supply before attempting

any service.

17. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug,

not the cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it

must be replaced by a special cord or assembly

available from the manufacturer or its service

agent.

18. Before the washer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the lid to the washing

compartment.

19. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this

washer according to the manufacturer’s

instructions may result in conditions which can

produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this

manual are not meant to cover all possible

conditions and situations that may occur. Common

sense, caution and care must be exercised when

installing, maintaining, or operating the washer.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent

or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions

you do not understand.

Maintenance

User-Maintenance Instructions

Cold Weather Care

If the washer is delivered on a cold day (below

freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area

during the cold months, do not attempt to operate the

washer until it has had a chance to warm up.

Care of Your Washer

Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the

control panel. Some cleaning products may harm the

finish on the control panel. DO NOT use products that

contain alcohol on the control panel. Wipe the panel

dry after cleaning.

Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If detergent,

bleach or other washing products are spilled on the

cabinet, wipe immediately. Some products will cause

permanent damage if spilled on the cabinet.

Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.

The washtub will need no particular care though it

may need rinsing or wiping after some unusual loads

have been washed. This also may be necessary if too

little detergent has been used.

Leave the lid open to allow the inside of the washer to

dry out after use. This helps prevent musty odors from

developing.

The agitator should not be removed except for service.

The washtub is designed to be self cleaning.

Replacing Hoses

Hoses and other natural rubber parts deteriorate after

extended use. Hoses may develop cracks, blisters or

material wear from the temperature and constant high

pressure they are subjected to.

All hoses should be checked on a monthly basis for

any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing

the signs of deterioration listed above should be

replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced

every five years.

Filter Screens

Check the filter screens in the fill hoses for debris or

damage annually. Clean or replace them if necessary.

If the washer is filling with water slower than normal,

check the filter screens. Clean or replace them if

necessary.

Order filter screen Part No. F270300 from the nearest

authorized parts distributor.

Reinstallation of Shipping Materials

Shipping Brace

The shipping brace in the lid opening should be saved

and reinstalled whenever the washer is moved. To

reinstall the brace, open the washer lid and place the

brace over the washer agitator, placing the back of the

brace into the lid opening first.

Shipping Plug

The plastic shipping plug should be saved and

reinstalled any time the washer is moved. The plug fits

into two openings: The base opening and the shipping

plug opening on the bottom of the movable pivot

dome. The plug MUST be inserted into both openings

to prevent damage to the washer. In order to

accomplish this, the shipping plug opening must be

directly lined up with the base opening. Refer to

Figure 24.

Figure 24

Motor Overload Protector

The internal overload protector will stop the motor

automatically in the event of an overload.

The overload protector will reset itself in two or three

minutes and the motor will restart automatically.

If the overload protector stops motor again, remove

the washer from use and call the service person to

correct the problem.
