Special Features
Unbalanced Spin Load
Compensator
Your new washer is designed
to handle out-of-balance
loads without
shutting
down or interrupting
the
washing
cycle.
For this reason, the cycle will always be completed.
If
heavier fabrics in such out-of-balance
loads should
ever contain excessive moisture at the completion
of
the cycle, redistribute
the clothes
in the washer and
reset the control dial for the final spin period.
Overload Protector
A built-in
protector
automatically
shuts off the washer
motor in case of an overload. This can occur if:
• The load being washed is too heavy.
• Too many appliances
are plugged into the line
operating your washer.
• A low voltage condition
exists on the line.
• Lid is opened and closed repeatedly.
The overload protector permits the washer to start again
when the motor has cooled to a safe operating temperature.
If the motor stops repeatedly, call your service technician.

After washing,
leave the lid open until the interior
is dry.
Check hoses to be sure there are no kinks or knots.
Your washer should not be installed where
temperatures
will go below freezing, as damage to
the washer could result.
To clean, occasionally
wipe exterior with a clean
damp sponge or cloth. Do not use polish on
plastic parts.
Lifetime lubrication
is done at the factory, so your
washer never needs to be oiled or greased.
Do not lay heavy or sharp objects on top of your
washer.
The top of the washer should not be used for
removing stains from garments. Some stain
removers, such as rust remover, will mar the finish.
Remove pins, buckles or other sharp objects from
clothes to prevent scratching
interior parts.
Clothes should not be stored in washer.
Bleach, detergent, solvents, etc. spilled on the top
of your washer that are allowed to remain will
remove the glossy finish. Remove all spills with a
damp, soft cloth.
If you close your home for the winter, have a service
technician
drain the washer. Unplug cord from
electrical outlet and disconnect
hoses from faucets.
Cleaning the Interior
Clean the interior of the washer periodically
to remove
any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew or bacteria residue
that may remain in the washer as a result of washing
clothes. We recommend
taking the following
steps
every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your washer
interior.
The frequency
with which the washer should
be cleaned and freshened depends on factors such as
usage, the amount of dirt, soil or bacteria being run
through
your washer, or the use of cold water. Failure
to follow these instructions
may result in unsatisfactory
conditions,
including
unpleasant
odor and/or
permanent
stains on the washer or washload.
To clean and freshen the washer
interior:
1.
Add a measured amount of chlorine
bleach to the
bleach dispenser, following
package directions.
2.
Add 1/4 cup of detergent
to the tub.
3.
Run the washer without
a load through
a complete
cycle using hot water.
/4. Repeat the process if necessary.
