Important Safety Instructions

Save These Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your washer, follow these basic precautions:
W023
Read all instructions before using the washer.
Install the washer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUC­TIONS. Refer to the EARTH/GROUND INSTRUCTIONS in the IN­STALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connection of the washer. All connections for water, drain, electrical power and earth/ground must comply with local codes and be made by li­censed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself.
Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
Do not add the following substances or textiles containing traces of the following substances to the wash water: gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils, dry­cleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners or other flam- mable or explosive substances. These substances give off va- pors that could ignite, explode or cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing ma­chine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water fau­cets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. THE GAS IS FLAM­MABLE, DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.
To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO NOT use an ex­tension cord or an adapter to connect the washer to the elec­trical power source.
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervi­sion of children is necessary when the washer is used near chil­dren. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. This is a safety rule for all appliances.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
Children less than three years should be kept away unless con­tinuously supervised.

Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or agitator, if appli­cable, is moving.
Never operate the washer with any guards, panels and/or parts removed or broken. DO NOT tamper with the controls or bypass any safety devices.
DO NOT operate individual units if they have been separated from a stack unit.
Use your washer only for its intended purpose, washing clothes. Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the gar­ment manufacturer.
Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on pack­ages of laundry and cleaning aids. To reduce the risk of poison­ing or chemical burns, keep them out of the reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked cabinet). Heed all warnings or precautions.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static un­less recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is to fill, tumble or spin. DO NOT bypass the loading door switch by per­miing the washer to operate with the loading door open.
Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.
Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or dropping the washer can damage safety features. If this occurs, have your washer checked by a qualified service person.
Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or aempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-mainte­nance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out. ALWAYS dis­connect the washer from electrical supply before aempting any service.
Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu­facturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid or door to the washing compartment.
Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this washer accord­ing to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

Operation

Before Washing

Prepare Wash Load
Empty Pockets and Cuffs
Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside out. One bob­by pin, metal or plastic toy, nail or sharp object in a load can catch laundry, cause tears and plug the pump. Facial tissue left in a pock­et will produce extreme “lint”. A crayon or lipstick in a wash load may cause stains that cannot be removed. Roll down cuffs and shake out grass, sand and gravel.
Mend Rips and Tears
Lile holes can become bigger in the washer. Mend holes and tears before placing garments in the washer.
Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks
These can catch on garments in a wash load and tear them. Tie belts and sashes so they won’t wind around clothes.
Put Small Items in Bag
Small items such as baby socks may get stuck around the door. Put them inside a mesh garment bag.
Check For Colorfastness
Sort Items
Different items use different wash cycles and temperatures. Al­ways follow the manufacturer’s care label.
Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few guidelines:
1. Sort by Color: Separate items into loads of whites, darks, lights and non-colorfast.
2. Sort by Fabric and Construction: Separate items into loads of coons/linens, permanent press, synthetics/blends/poly knits, and delicates.
3. Sort by Temperature: Separate items into loads that can be washed in cold, warm or hot water.
4. Sort by Type and Amount of Soil: Heavily soiled clothes will need extra treatment. Lightly soiled clothes can become dingy if washed with heavily soiled items.
5. Sort Lint “Shedders” From Lint “Receivers”: Some fabrics at­tract lint and should not be washed with lint-shedding loads. Lint shedders are coons, terry towels, chenille bedspreads, rugs and clothes that have been heavily bleached. Lint receivers are synthetics, permanent or durable press, knits (including socks), corduroy, and other smooth fabrics.
Pretreat
Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pretreat product or liquid detergent when placing them in the washer. Before washing, treat special stains individually.
WARNING
Squeeze a portion of garment in warm or hot sudsy water. If the color bleeds or runs, wash the item separately in cold water.

Do not wash or dry items soiled with vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils may remain after washing and may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.
