Helpful Hints for Your
Frontload Washer
•
This washer has pauses that are part of its normal
operation. These pauses occur at the following
times:
There is no agitator on this washer. Instead, the
clothing gently tumbles through the water. The wash
action consists of a period of tumbling in one
direction, a brief pause, and then a reverse tumble in
the opposite direction. The pauses are part of the
tumble action and add to the uniqueness of the washer.
They are part of the cycle.
1. When the washer is first started (3-5 seconds
pause).
2. During tumble action washing and rinsing
(8 second pauses between tumbles).
•
For the best cleaning results, use only low sudsing
detergents recommended for use with high
efficiency or front loading washers.
3. While the washer is heating in the Boosted
Hot setting (55 seconds heating, 5 seconds
tumble, repeat).
4. Between wash and rinse cycles (15 to 30
seconds).
•
If using detergents made for topload washers,
avoid oversudsing by using only 1/4 cup regular
detergent (1/2 of the recommended amount).
•
When the Boosted Hot setting is selected, the
built-in heating element will boost the water
temperature in the wash drum to 140°F, and the
HEATING light will come on. The cycle will not
advance until the proper temperature is reached.
The time needed to reach 140°F depends on the
load size and the temperature of the incoming
water. It will normally vary between 30 and
60 minutes.
•
•
The Boosted Hot setting can be turned off by
changing the cycle selector knob to OFF and
restarting a cycle with a different water
temperature setting.
For your safety, this washer has a door locking
mechanism that keeps the door securely shut
during its operation.
NOTE: The normal level of suds should be below
the center of the door.
If items need to be added or removed after a cycle
has started, turn the Cycle Selector knob to the OFF
position. Wait until the DOOR light goes off
(approximately 45 seconds after cycle has been
stopped), open door, add or remove items, and start the
cycle again.
