Washer Safety
Your safety is important. This guide uses warning symbols to highlight potential dangers such as personal injury, burns, fire, and electrical shock. Always follow the instructions provided with these symbols.
Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury:
- Read all instructions before use.
- Do not wash or dry items cleaned with flammable fluids (wax, paint, gasoline, oil). Fumes can create fire or explosion hazards. Hand wash and line dry such items.
- Do not store or use flammable fluids near the washer.
- Do not allow children to operate, play with, or crawl on or inside the washer. Supervise children closely.
- Before discarding the washer, remove the lid to prevent accidental entrapment.
- Do not reach into the basket after starting a cycle until all motion has stopped.
- Do not tamper with controls.
- If your hot water has not been used recently, hydrogen gas may build up in water heater and pipes. This gas is explosive. Before using the washer, turn on hot water faucets and let water run for several minutes to allow gases to escape. Do not smoke or use open flames near faucets while they are open.
Please:
- Have only a qualified person install, repair, or replace parts.
- Maintain the washer properly.
- Protect the washer from weather and freezing temperatures.
- Install and level the washer on a floor that can support its weight.

- Ground the washer properly. (Refer to Installation Instructions.)
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Understanding Your Responsibilities
- Store laundry aids in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.
- Read and follow instructions on detergent and laundry aid packages, including warnings.
- Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids, as hazardous fumes can form.
- Do not wash or dry items soiled with vegetable or cooking oil, as they may smoke or catch fire.
- Unplug the power cord before servicing.
- Do not machine wash fiberglass materials, as small particles can cause skin irritation.
Parts and Features
Familiarize yourself with the parts and features of your washer before use. Page references are provided for more detailed information.
Washer Exterior Description: The washer is a top-loading automatic washing machine. Key external features include the lid at the top, the control panel located on the front-top, a fabric softener dispenser and an extra rinse selector near the lid opening, and a liquid chlorine bleach dispenser. The model and serial number plate is located under the lid. Internally, it features a basket and a tub. A MAGIC CLEAN® lint filter is located at the bottom of the washer basket.
Control Panel Description: The control panel features several selectors and a large cycle control knob. From left to right, there is a Load Size Selector with settings for Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. Next is a Temperature Selector for Wash and Rinse temperatures. To its right is an Extra Rinse Selector with 'Off' and 'On' settings. The main feature is the Cycle Control Knob, which is used to select wash cycles and start the machine. The knob has indicators for various cycles like Super Wash, Normal, Permanent Press, Delicate, and Hand Washables, along with time settings.
Operating Your Washer
To achieve the best washing results, operate your washer properly. Before use, remove the consumer Features Guide from your washer and keep it with this Use and Care Guide.
Starting Your Washer
- Add measured detergent. Place a sorted load of clothes in the washer (see page 12). You may add color-safe all-fabric bleach or extra detergent for the Super Wash cycle.
- (Optional) Add measured liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach dispenser (see page 10). Use only liquid chlorine bleach. It is automatically diluted and dispensed in the last few minutes of the wash cycle.
- (Optional) Add measured fabric softener to the fabric softener dispenser (see page 10). It is automatically diluted and released during the rinse cycle. Water rinses the dispenser to prevent clogging.
- Close the washer lid.
- Turn the Load Size Selector to match the wash load size and fabric type. Options include Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large, or Extra Large. You can change the setting after the washer starts filling. Refer to pages 12-13 for loading tips.
- Turn the Water Temperature Selector to the desired Wash Rinse temperature, matching it to the fabric type and soil level. The top setting is for wash water, the bottom for rinse water. See page 14 for guidelines.
- (Optional) Turn the Extra Rinse Selector to 'On' for an additional rinse at the end of the cycle. This is recommended for Super Wash, Normal, Permanent Press, or Delicate cycles, but not for Hand Washables. Turn to 'Off' if not needed.
- Push in and turn the Cycle Control Knob clockwise to the desired wash cycle number (representing minutes of wash time). The cycles are described on pages 7-8.
Stopping/Restarting Your Washer
You can stop your washer during a cycle to add more clothes. To stop, push in the Cycle Control Knob. To restart, close the lid (if necessary) and pull out the Cycle Control Knob.
Selecting a Cycle and Time
Choose the best cycle for your wash loads based on fabric type and soil level. The washer pauses briefly during cycles, which is normal.
Cycle Descriptions:
- Super Wash Cycle: 18-minute cycle that prewashes and then proceeds to the Normal cycle. Use for heavily soiled loads. Use double the recommended detergent.
- Normal Cycle: Features Gentle Wash System with high agitation and spin speeds. Use HEAVY (15 min) for large, sturdily constructed, heavily soiled fabrics; REGULAR (9-12 min) for moderately soiled cotton/linen; SOFT WASH (6 min) for lightly soiled cotton/linen.
- Permanent Press Cycle: Features Gentle Wash, a cool-down rinse, and low spin speeds to reduce wrinkling. Use NORMAL (9 min) for permanent press/synthetics; LIGHT (3-6 min) for lighter permanent press/synthetics.
- Delicate Cycle: Features reduced agitation for gentle soil removal and low spin speeds to reduce wrinkling. Use NORMAL (6 min) for moderately soiled delicate items/knits; LIGHT (3 min) for lightly soiled delicate items/knits.
- Hand Washables Cycle: Brief low-speed agitation and short soaks (2 sec ON, 28 sec OFF) for special-care items. Low spin speeds reduce wrinkling. Use 6 minutes for lightly soiled items. Wash small loads. If items float, push them down into the water.
Using Rinse and Spin
An extra rinse and spin can be beneficial for heavily soiled clothes or special-care items. Push in the Cycle Control Knob, turn clockwise to RINSE, and pull out the knob. The washer will fill, agitate, drain, and spin.
Using Drain and Spin
This function helps shorten drying times for heavy fabrics or special-care items by removing excess water. Push in the Cycle Control Knob, turn clockwise to SPIN, and pull out the knob. The washer will drain and then spin.
What Happens in Each Cycle
When the Cycle Control Knob is set and pulled out, the washer fills, then begins agitation and timing. The knob turns clockwise as the cycle progresses. Pauses during cycles are normal.
Cycle Operation Overview:
- WASH: Fill -> Wash selected time -> Drain (or partial drain) with no agitation -> Spin. (Permanent Press cycle partially drains, fills, briefly agitates, and drains.)
- RINSE: Fill -> Rinse -> Drain-No agitation -> Spin-Spray rinse -> Spin -> Off.
MAGIC CLEAN® Lint Filter
The MAGIC CLEAN® lint filter, located at the bottom of the washer basket, cleans itself. Wash and rinse water passes over the filter, separating lint, which is then spun out of the system during the spin cycle. If your washer drains into a tub, remove any lint collected in the tub or strainer.
Using Liquid Chlorine Bleach Dispenser
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach; never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) per full load. Use less with lower water levels. Follow manufacturer's directions. Use a cup with a pouring spout to avoid spills.
- Load the washer.
- Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach carefully into the dispenser. Avoid splashing. Undiluted bleach can damage fabric.
- Start the washer. Bleach is automatically diluted during the wash cycle.
Note: Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser. Do not use powdered chlorine or all-fabric bleach.
Using the Fabric Softener Dispenser
- Add detergent and load clothes.
- Pour liquid fabric softener into the dispenser according to package recommendations. Avoid dripping on the load.
- Dilute fabric softener with warm water, filling the dispenser until the liquid reaches the opening.
- Start the washer. Diluted softener is added during the final rinse.
Note: Do not stop the washer before the rinse cycle begins to prevent staining. Flush the dispenser periodically with warm water. Do not wash clothes with the dispenser removed. Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.
Caring for Your Washer
Proper care extends the life of your washer.
Cleaning Your Washer
- Exterior: Wipe up spills with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. Wipe the outside occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not place sharp or metal objects in the washer, as they can damage the finish. Check pockets for items like pins, clips, or money.
- Interior: Clean the interior with 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine bleach mixed with 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent. Run a complete cycle with hot water. Repeat if necessary. Remove hard water deposits using washer-safe cleaners.
Winter Storage or Moving Care
Install and store the washer where it will not freeze. To winterize:
- Shut off water faucets.
- Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
- Add 1 quart (1L) of RV-type antifreeze to the basket.
- Run the washer on a drain and spin setting for about 30 seconds to mix.
- Unplug the power supply cord.
To use again:
- Flush water pipes and hoses.
- Reconnect water inlet hoses.
- Turn on water faucets.
- Reconnect power supply cord.
- Run a complete cycle with 1 cup (250 mL) of detergent to clean out antifreeze.
Non-Use or Vacation Care
If you will be away for an extended period:
- Unplug the power supply cord or turn off electrical power to the washer.
- Turn off the water supply to the washer to prevent accidental flooding.
Laundry Tips
Proper laundering techniques and additional washing information.
Preparing Clothes for Washing
- Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to prevent snagging. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects. Remove non-washable trim.
- Empty pockets and turn them inside out.
- Turn down cuffs and brush away lint and dirt.
- Turn synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling.
- Tie strings and sashes to prevent tangling.
- Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.
- Treat spots and stains (see pages 17-19).
- Wash stained or wet garments promptly.
Sorting
- Separate heavily-soiled items from lightly-soiled ones.
- Separate lint givers (e.g., towels, chenille) from lint takers (e.g., corduroy, synthetics). Turn lint givers inside out if possible.
- Separate dark colors from light colors, and colorfast from noncolorfast items.
- Sort by fabric type and construction (e.g., sturdy cottons, knits, delicates).
Loading
- Drop items loosely into the washer. Fill the basket but do not wrap items around the agitator. Items should move freely for best cleaning and wrinkle-free results.
- Load properly and select the correct load size. Overloading or using a setting too small can lead to poor cleaning, increased wrinkling, excessive lint, and faster wear.
- Load by space occupied, not weight.
- Mix large and small items. Load evenly to maintain washer balance and prevent vibration during spin.
- Use a large load size setting for permanent press and some synthetic knits to reduce wrinkling, allowing more room for movement.
- Reduce wash time for small loads with only a few items.
Loading Suggestions (Large Capacity Washers)
Set Load Size Selector to Extra Large for these suggested full-sized loads:
| Category | Heavy Work Clothes | Permanent Press | Mixed Load | Towels | Delicates |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Item Count | 2 pair pants, 3 shirts, 3 pair jeans, 1 coverall | 1 double sheet, 1 tablecloth, 1 dress, 1 blouse, 2 slacks, 3 shirts, 2 pillowcases | 2 double or 1 king size sheet(s), 4 pillowcases, 6 T-shirts, 6 pair shorts, 2 shirts, 2 blouses, 6 handkerchiefs | 8 bath towels, 8 hand towels, 10 wash cloths, 1 bathmat | 2 camisoles, 4 slips, 4 panties, 2 bras, 2 nighties |
Water Guidelines
Selecting water temperatures:
| Wash Water Temperature | Suggested Fabrics | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| HOT (130°F / 54°C or above) | Work clothes, Sturdy whites/colorfast pastels, Diapers | Best cleaning for heavily soiled items; Removes oils, perspiration, greasy soils, and stains; Prevents graying or yellowing. |
| WARM (90°-110°F / 32°-44°C) | Dark/noncolorfast colors, Permanent press items, Nylon, polyester, acrylics, silks, woolens, Knits/delicate fabrics | Best for lightly soiled to moderately soiled items; Safe for most fabric finishes; Less fading and dye bleeding; Reduces wrinkling. |
| COLD (70°-90°F / 21°-32°C) | Extra-sensitive colors, Noncolorfast items, Hand washables | Best for very lightly soiled items; Saves hot water; Best rinse water temperature. |
Note: Washers feature cold rinses for all wash temperatures. Warm rinses are available with warm washes. Warm rinse water aids water extraction but may increase wrinkling when line drying. In cold climates, it provides a more comfortable temperature for handling the wash load.
Checking Hot Water Temperature
Your hot water should be 54°C (130°F) or above. To check:
- Fill a pan with the hottest water available from your washer's faucet.
- Place a thermometer in the water to check the temperature.
Note: Detergents do not dissolve well in water colder than 21°C (70°F), potentially leading to poor soil removal, retained wrinkles, and pilling.
Saving Energy
- Use warm or cold wash water for most loads; use hot water only for heavy, greasy soils or whites.
- Use cold rinses.
- Wash full loads.
- Use lower water levels for small loads.
- Avoid rewashing by using enough detergent and pretreating stains/soils.
- Use the washer during off-peak hours (early morning, late evening) to save energy.
Water Hardness
Water hardness can affect washing results. Check your water hardness by contacting your city water company or local water authority. If your water is very hard (over 8 grains/gallon or 153 parts/million), consider installing a water softener, using more detergent, using a water conditioner, or avoiding soap.
Washing Special Care Items
Always follow garment care labels. General instructions for special washables:
| Item | Care Instructions |
|---|---|
| Blankets (electric or woolen) | Pretreat spots/stains. Select temperature, cycle, and time per blanket type. Extra Rinse may be needed. Check care label for machine washing recommendation. |
| Curtains, drapes, slipcovers | Wash small loads to prevent wrinkling. Replace slipcovers while slightly damp. Sun-damaged items may tear. |
| Diapers | When using chlorine bleach for soaking, add extra detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they reduce absorbency. |
| Elastic, spandex | Oil can damage elastic. Wash often with warm water and sufficient detergent. Do not use chlorine bleach. |
| Flame-retardant clothing | Follow manufacturer's instructions to retain flame-retardant qualities. |
| Hand Washables | Garments labeled "Hand Wash" may have sensitive fibers/construction or dyes that bleed. Use the Hand Washables cycle. Follow drying directions; block items to original measurements if they may shrink. Woolens may shrink on first wash. |
| Knits | Knits are prone to stretching and damage when washed, especially bulky knits. Synthetic knits hold shape better than cotton/ramie knits. |
| Pillows, stuffed toys | Washing feather pillows is not recommended unless dried in a dryer. |
| Plastic, rubber items | Treat as delicates. Wash in warm water. Wash small items in a mesh bag. |
| Quilts, bedspreads | Do not wash cotton-filled comforters unless quilted/stitched. Tucked batting can slip. Extra Rinse may be necessary. |
| Scatter rugs | Shake or vacuum rugs to remove loose dirt. Wash more than one rug at a time. If washing one rug, add bath towels to balance the load. |
| Snowsuits, jackets | Wash only one or two items at a time. You may need to stop the washer occasionally to press air from items. Extra Rinse may be necessary. |
Removing Stains
Prewashing or soaking may be needed for stained, heavily-soiled, or greasy items. Soaking helps remove protein-type stains.
Stain Removal Rules
- Use warm water for soaking/prewashing; hot water can set stains.
- Treat stains when fresh; old stains may not come out. Follow pretreatment product directions.
- Identify the stain type, age, fabric type, and colorfastness before treating.
- Washing and drying can set some stains.
- Start with cold or warm water; hot water can set some stains.
- Use bleach safe for the fabric when recommended.
- Test stain removers on an inside seam first.
- Place stained area face down on a paper towel and apply remover to the back of the stain.
- Meat tenderizer or enzyme presoaks can help break down protein stains.
