"WASH/TEMP" fill programs will not be operational.
i.e.
• If you cap/plug the HOT WATER (upper) valve, it
will not be possible to select the "COLD/COLD"
WASH/TEMP water fill program. You can only
select either the WARM/COLD or HOT/COLD
WASH/TEMP water fill programs. (under the
COLD/COLD setting no water will enter the wash
tub)
• If you cap/plug the COLD WATER (lower) valve, it
will not be possible to select the "HOT/COLD"
WASH TEMP water fill program. You can only
select either the WARM/COLD or COLD/COLD
WASH/TEMP water fill program. (under the

BEFORE WASHING
PREPARE W
ASH LOAD
Load articles by the weight not more that 4 kg. Mix
large and small articles in a load to get the best
washing results.
Drop articles loosely into the inner tub. Do not pack
them in or wrap them around the agitator.
Articles should move freely through the wash water
for best cleaning results. Articles should rollover
sink and then reappear.
When washing very large articles, do not fill inner
tub as full as other loads.
The water level in your washer should fit the size of
your wash load. Small loads will use lower water
levels. There must be enough water in the inner tub
to allow articles to move and turn over freely.
Overloading the inner tub can result in poor
washing and rinsing. Overloading may also cause
wrinkling and tearing of articles.

W
ASH TEMPERATURE
Hot Water
Hot water will give the best results of cleaning and
sanitizing. But it is not suitable for all articles. It is
best for sturdy whites and colourfast articles, heavily
soiled articles and diapers.
Warm Water
By using warm water, there is less chance of colour
loss in articles. Use with light and moderate soils,
non-colourfast or dark colours, permanent press,
silks, woolens, nylons and acrylic.
Cold Water
Cold water is less effective in cleaning than hot or
warm water, but it does minimize wrinkling and
colour fading. Use it for washing extra sensitive
clothes and for the rinsing of all fabrics.
Energy
You can save energy when washing by following a
few guidelines:
1. Heating water accounts for the greatest
expense when washing. Save on heating water
by using cold rinses.
2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.
3. Select a shorter wash time for lightly soiled
articles.
A.) Determine proper cycle
• Press down the program knob and turn it to the
desired function.
• Pull up the program knob to start the wash
program.
WARNING:

SPECIAL CARE WASHING INFORMATION
Knits
A variety of knits are being used for many types of
clothing and household furnishings. Many knits are
machine washable, some are hand washable and
some must be dry-cleaned. When buying, make
sure the garment has a care label with care
instructions. These directions must be followed
otherwise they may shrink or relax when exposed
to water.
Rayon Knits
Rayon stretches and shrinks easily. Treat as a delicate fabric and wash gently.
Cotton Knits
Unless the label indicates that it is preshrunk, cotton
knits will probably shrink to some degree. Over drying contributes to shrinkage of cotton knits.
Wash water should be hot or warm suitable for
colour and soil. The rinse water should be cold.
Synthetic Knits
Knits made from synthetic fibers or blends containing a high percentage of synthetics will generally
keep their shape. When buying, make sure the trimmings (including belts) are machine washable,
seams are not frayed, and zippers and trimmings
are well fastened.
Wool Sweaters
Loosely knit or delicately constructed sweaters will
need delicate care hand wash. Rinse thoroughly.
Block to shape and dry flat.
For sweaters labeled “machine washable” follow
manufacturers directions. Dry flat. Excess agitation
and excess tumbling are the main cause of wool
shrinkage.
Wool Knits
Dry-clean wool knits unless labeled “machine washable” follow manufacturers directions.
USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION
Cold Weather
If the washer is delivered on a cold day (below
freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area
during the cold months, do not attempt to operate it
until the washer has had a chance to warm up.
Care of Your Washer
• Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the
control panel. Some spray prewash products may
harm the finish on the control panel.
•Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If detergent,
bleach or other washing products are spilled on
the cabinet, wipe immediately. Some products will
cause permanent damage if spilled on the cabinet.

the washer. The finish could be damaged.
• Do not expose the washer to direct sunlight or
rain.
• Keep the washer away from fire or heat source.
• The washtub will need no particular care though it
may need rinsing or wiping after an unusual load
has been washed. This also may be necessary if
too little detergent has been used.
• Leave the lid and open to allow the inside of the
washer to dry out after use. This helps prevent
musty odors from developing.
•When unplugging the power cord, do not pull the
wire cord, grasp the “plug” firmly and pull.
Motor Overload Protector
The internal overload protector in the motor will stop
the motor automatically in the event of an
overload. The overload protector will reset itself in
two or three minutes and the motor will reset
automatically. If the overload protector stops the
motor again, remove the washer from use and call
the serviceman to correct the problem.
