Washing Procedures, continued 6 Add laundry load to washer. • Dry load level should not be higher than the top of the agitator vanes. Do not overload the washer. • Do not put items on top of agitator or wrap them around it. Load items evenly. • Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load. • When washing a single heavy item, add 1 or 2 towels to balance the load. 7 If desired, add liquid fabric softener to fabric soft- ener dispenser (available on some models). For models with a built-in dispenser: If a build-up of fabric softener occurs, clean with hot water. DO NOT REMOVE SERVICE CAP FOUND INSIDE THE AGITATOR POST. For models without a fabric softener dispenser, follow fabric softener label directions. Add diluted fabric softener to the final rinse. Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load. 8 Select cycle and settings according to type, size and soil level of each load. See Operating Instructions on next page. 9 Start the washer. Close the washer lid and pull out the cycle selector knob. The washer will not fill with water, agitate or spin when the lid is open, and will only start to do so if the lid is closed. The washer will automatically turn off if the lid is lifted during agitation to add a garment or laundry product after the cycle has begun. The washer will resume the cycle where it left off when the lid is again closed. If the washer doesn't agitate when the lid is closed, check the cycle selector knob. It may have accidentally been pushed in when the lid was opened, Pull out the knob to restart the washer. • To stop the washer during agitation, push in the cycle selector knob. • Do not stop and restart washer during a spin when us- ing the fabric softener dispenser. • To change a cycle after it has started, push in the cycle selector knob. Turn it clockwise to the desired setting. Pull out the knob to restart the washer. 10 Remove items when the cycle is completed. The lid must be closed during spin. For your safety, the lid locks when pre-pumping and remains locked when pumping and spinning. It will remain locked for about 2-3 minutes after the cycle ends and the tub has come to a complete stop. • Add liquid softener to the dispenser, following fabric softener label directions. DO NOT use granular detergent in this dispenser. • Add water to bring liquid level to fill line on dispenser cap. • Remove the dispenser from the agitator after each use. Rinse both cap and cup with warm water. Replace dispenser in the agitator. • Do not use bleach in this dispenser. To separate cap from cup, put thumb into dispenser and push against side of cup (see picture to the left). After cleaning, push cap and cup firmly together. Replace dispenser by lining up the ribs and grooves and snapping it into position. SAFETY LID LOCK • To open the lid during a spin, push in the cycle selector knob and wait about 2-3 minutes for the lid lock to release. Do not force open the locked lid. • Place washed items in automatic dryer, line dry, or dry flat as directed by fabric care label. Excess wrinkling, color transfer or odors may develop in items left in the washer after the cycle has ended. To avoid serious personal injury, do not oper- ate washer if safety lid lock is missing, damaged or operating improperly. 5
