WARNING! FIRE HAZARD
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.
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.
Observe these precautions when using cleaning fluids, spot or stain removers, etc. These products should be labeled “nonflammable.” Use according to manufacturers directions in a well ventilated area or outdoors. Thoroughly rinse articles by hand before placing them in the washer – rust removers for example – will damage components and the finish of the washer.

2. As with any equipment using electricity and having moving parts, there are potential hazards. To use this appliance safely, the operator should become familiar with the instructions for operation of the appliance and always exercise care when using it.
3.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
4. Install and level washer on a floor that can support the weight.
5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not grounded adequately and in accordance with local and national codes. See installation instructions for grounding this appliance.
6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion: a.
Do not wash items 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 vapors that could ignite or explode. Hand wash and line dry any items containing these substances.
Any material on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in the washer until all traces of these liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.
These items include acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or

Operating Tips
Detergent
• Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent. For best results, be sure detergent is added to the washer BEFORE the load and be sure the wash water is above 60
• Use the correct amount of detergent for the load size, soil level and water conditions. Use more detergent if you have hard water and very soiled loads.
If you have soft water or a lightly soiled load, use less detergent. (See manufacturer’s instructions.)
• Wipe up any detergent spills on the washer.
Loading
For best results add the detergent to the washtub
• before adding the load.
• Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to the top row of holes for a maximum load.

Operating Tips
Additional Tips
• During the spin, it is possible for the load to become unevenly distributed in the tub. If this happens, push in the control dial, open the lid, redistribute the load, close the lid and restart the washer. The spin will resume at the point it was interrupted.
• The washer will pause briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal.
• This washer is designed so that it will not agitate or spin when the lid is open. It will, however, fill with the lid open so water is available for pretreating stains or diluting fabric softener.
• If you open the lid during a spin cycle, the washer will stop. When the lid is closed and the washer is restarted, the washer will continue the cycle at the point it was interrupted.

Fabric Softener Dispenser
The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the cycle.
To use, follow these steps:
1. Pour a measured amount of fabric softener into the dispenser to fill line only.
2. If fabric softener comes below line, add warm water.
If it is necessary to clean the dispenser:
1. Pull the dispenser off of the top of the agitator.
2. Soak for one hour in sink or container in hot water and dishwashing liquid.
3. Hold hands over top and bottom of dispenser and shake to loosen buildup.

Notes:
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the wash tub. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as tearing or color loss, if not used properly.

Automatic Lint Filtering System
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 the agitation cycle before it can be redeposited on the wash load. The engineered hole design on the wash basket in conjunction with water flow produced by the
ator, traps lint away from the clothes between the
agit inner wash basket and the outer tub. Lint is automatically flushed from the washer during the spin cycle.
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 service technician immediately. When the lid is closed, the operation will automatically resume.

Special Features
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 control dial for the final spin period.
Care & Cleaning
1. After washing, leave the lid open until the interior is dry.
Check hoses to be sure there are no kinks or knots.

Overload Protector
A built-in protector automatically shuts off the washer motor in case of an overload. This can occur if:
• The load being washed is too heavy.
• 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.
Cleaning the Interior
Clean the interior of the washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew or bacteria residue that may remain in the washer as a re clothes. We recommend taking the following steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your washer interior. The frequency with which the washer should be cleaned and freshened depends on factors such as usage, the amount of dir through your washer, or the use of cold water.
