PREVENT FIRE
= Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents,
kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. Do not store these items
on or near the washer. These substances give off vapors or
chemical reactions that could ignite or explode.
• Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the
washer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite
the materials.
• Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other flammable
or explosive substances to the wash water. These substanc-
es give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced
in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks
or more. HYDROGENGAS ISEXPLOSIVE.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 for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do
not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire,
explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rub-
ber or plastic parts of the washer.

CASUA_
,, COLO_S_
Sort items by recommended cycle and water tempera-
ture.
Separate white, light and colorfast items from dark and
non-colorfast items.
Separate items that shed lint from items that attract
lint. Casual, synthetic, knit, and corduroy items will pick
up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille bedspreads.
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled items.
Separate lacy, sheer, loosely knit, or delicate items from
durable items.
Do not machine wash items containing fiberglass. Small
particles of fiberglass left in the drum may transfer to
fabrics in other loads and cause skin irritation.
Placedelicate and small items such as bras, hosiery and
baby socks in a mesh bag.
(Mesh bag not included.)
3 Pretreat stains and heavy soil.
See Stain Removal Guide in this guide for safe, success-
fu{ stain removal instructions.
4 Add laundry load to washer.
Prepare items for washing.
• Empty pockets.
• Brush off lint and dirt. Shakeout rugs and beach towels.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
remove non-washable trims and ornaments.
• Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage during
washing.
• Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.
Combine large and small items in a load.
Load large items first. Large items should not be more
than half the total wash load.
Washing single items such asa sweater, towel or jeans
is inefficient and may cause an out-of-balance load.
Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance the load.
Wash a single heavy item such as a king-sized com-
forter, bedspread or sleeping bag separately.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the items should
not be tightly packed. The door should close easily.
