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  
Read all instructions before using the  
washer.  
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  
washer or attempt any servicing unless  
specifically recommended in this Use and  
Care Guide.  
See Installation Instructions for grounding  
requirements.

SELECTING A CYCLE AND TIME  
This section describes the available wash cycles  
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  
cycle” to learn what happens during a wash cycle.  
NOTE: When tested to AS2040-1990 for wash  
performance, the Regular/Normal cycle was  
selected with extra large load size, warm wash,  
and cold rinse.

The Hand Washables cycle features a brief period  
of low speed agitation and soak time (2 seconds  
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.  
Garments are labeled “Hand Wash” because:  
The fibre or construction may be sensitive to

2-speed models – The Permanent Press cycle  
starts with high agitation and then steps to low.  
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.  
When you have decided to end the Soak cycle,  
turn the Cycle Control knob to Prewash or Spin.

NOTE: An Extra Rinse option is available on some  
models. See “Using your washer.”  
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  
of the dispenser with both hands and squeezing  
and pushing upwards with thumbs. Clean the  
dispenser by rinsing it under a water faucet.  
Replace it after cleaning.  
NOTE: Do not wash clothes with this dispenser  
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  
Non-use or vacation care:  
the basket.  
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  
surge) while you are away.
