iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS FOR THE OPERATION OF YOUR CLOTHES WASHER
tI, WAI-i|_i|I_II_: TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF FIRE, EXPLOSION,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR PERSONAL
INJURY WHEN USING YOUR
WASHER, FOLLOW BASIC SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS INCLUDING THE
FOLLOWING:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE
WASHER. RETAIN ALL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
2. PROPERLY INSTALL AND LOCATE in
accordance with the Installation
Instructions.
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED- See
installation instructions.
SHOULD ANYONE get an ELECTRIC
SHOCK from the washer, disconnect
electrical power. DO NOT OPERATE
until it has been repaired by a qualified
service technician.
INSTALL OR STORE where it will NOT
be exposed to temperatures below
freezing or exposed to the weather.
CONNECT to a properly rated,
protected, and sized power supply
circuit. See Electrical Requirements.
CONNECT to adequate plumbing and
drain facilities.
HAVE A QUALIFIED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN install your washer.
3. TO PREVENT INJURY TO CHILDREN:
DO NOT ALLOW children to play
inside, on, or with the washer.
CLOSE SUPERVISION of children is
necessary when using washer.
WHEN CHILDREN are mature enough,
instruct them in the safe, correct use of
the washer.
afet¥ Preca
KEEP ALL LAUNDRY AIDS out of the
reach of children, preferably in a locked
cabinet. USE laundry aids only as
directed by manufacturer, observing all
warnings on container labels.
DESTROY THE CARTON AND PLASTIC
BAGS after unpacking the washer.
Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads,
or plastic sheet can create a chamber
with inadequate ventilation.
REMOVE THE DOOR to the washing
compartment before the washer is
removed from service or discarded.
4. DO NOT REACH INTO the washer if the
tub or agitator is moving. The washer is
equipped with a safety switch for your
protection. If action does not stop when
the washer lid is opened during the Spin
Cycle, disconnect the electrical power to
the washer. Do not operate the washer
until it has been repaired by a qualified
service technician.
5. DO NOT TAMPER with the Operating
Controls.
6. TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY and
damage to the washer, DO NOT repair
or replace any part of the washer or
attempt any servicing. SERVICING
should be referred to a qualified service
technician.
7. DO NOT WASH FIBERGLASS
ARTICLES unless recommended by
manufacturer.
8. FLAME RETARDANT FINISHES -
improper laundering could remove
them. FOLLOW garment manufacturer's
instructions carefully.
9. WHEN MOVING, have the washer
checked and properly installed by a
qualified service technician.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
I
10. DO NOT ADD gasoline, dry-
cleaning solvents, or other flammable
or explosive substances to the wash
water. These substances give off
vapors that could ignite or explode.
11. DO NOT WASH ARTICLES which
have been previously cleaned,
washed, soaked, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, oil,
waxes, chemical solvents, alcohol,
turpentine, or other flammable or
explosive materials. These substances
will be retained in articles, and articles
which still contain these flammable or
explosive substances give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
12. OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS
WHEN USING CLEANING FLUIDS,
SPOT OR STAIN REMOVERS, ETC.
Products should be labeled
"NONFLAMMABLE". Use according to
MANUFACTURER'S DIRECTIONS in a
well VENTILATED AREA or outdoors.
Thoroughly RINSE ARTICLES by hand
before placing them in the washer.
Some of these products - rust
removers, for example - will damage
components and the finish of the
washer.
FIRE HAZARD
13. KEEP AREA around and under-
neath washer free from the accumu-
lation of combustible materials, such
as lint, paper, rags, gasoline, and all
other flammable vapors and liquids.
14. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE
and under certain conditions,
hydrogen gas may be produced in a
hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. If the hot
water system has not been used for
such a period, BEFORE USING THE
WASHER, turn on all hot water faucets
and let the water flow from each
faucet for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. As this gas is flammable, DO NOT
SMOKE or use an open flame during
this procedure.
15. Recent studies have shown that if
vegetable oil contaminated materials
are incompletely washed, a carry-over
and buildup of the oil may contribute
to a chemical reaction (spontaneous
combustion) that could cause a load
to catch fire by itself. This would be
more likely to happen if the load was
left in the dryer after tumbling
stopped or if items were folded and
stacked while warm.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating your washer.
READ THESE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
YOU USE THE WASHER AND RETAIN
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Before operating your washer, be sure
that all installation requirements are
met. SEE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS.
TO OPERATE:
Water fill hoses should be attached and
faucets fully opened. Be sure washer
drain hose is in drain.
1. LOAD BLEACH DISPENSER, if
desired (maximum one cup).
& CAUTION: Never pour chlorine
bleach directly onto clothes.

provide sufficient water to permit
clothes to circulate during agitation.
It may become necessary, due to
bulky fabrics, to adjust the water
level after agitation begins. To adjust
for a higher water level, turn control
to RESET position and then back to
desired setting. To decrease rinse
water level, turn the control to a
lower setting after wash agitation
has started.

Features
\
LiNT FILTERING SYSTEM (AUTOMATIC)
The Lint Filtering system does not
require cleaning.
Wash and rinse water is filtered and
re-filtered continuously to trap lint shed
by most fabrics during agitation cycle
before it can be re-deposited on the
wash load. The engineered hole design
on the wash basket in conjunction with
water flow produced by the agitator
traps lint away from the clothes between
the inner wash basket and outer tub. Lint
is automatically flushed from the washer
during the spin cycle.
LiQUiD BLEACH DISPENSER
A convenient Bleach Dispenser is built
into your washer which makes it easy
and safe to use liquid chlorine bleach
when it is needed. Load the Dispenser
(maximum one cup) BEFORE YOU
LOAD THE CLOTHES INTO THE
WASHER.
The Bleach Dispenser is located at the
left front corner of the door opening
on the cabinet top.
LIQUID BLEACH DISPENSER
Pout" fiquid chlorine bleach into
bleach dispenser:
The Bleach Dispenser requires no
special care for cleaning. However, to
avoid damage to chromed and painted
surfaces, any spilled bleach should be
rinsed off immediately with clean water
SAFETY SPIN
If for any reason you open the washer
lid when the washer is in a SPIN or
EXTRACT period, the operation will
immediately stop. THIS IS FOR YOUR
PERSONAL SAFETY. IF YOUR
WASHER DOES NOT STOP, CALL
YOUR SERVICEMAN IMMEDIATELY.
When the lid is closed, the operation
will automatically be resumed.
SPIN DRYING
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 Cycle Control for
an extra spin.
OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
A built-in protector automatically shuts
off the washer motor in case of an
overload. This can occur if:
* Too heavy a load is being washed.
* 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.
