Important Safety Instructions
Read all instructions before using this washer.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this washer,
comply with the basic warnings listed below.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
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 substances 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. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. 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.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/
or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the washer.
Protect Children
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe
use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the washer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic
sheets can become airtight chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the washer door to prevent accidental entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Prevent Injury
To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the washer must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person in accordance with local codes.
Installation instructions are packed in the washer for installer's reference. Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. If the washer is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the washer, the electrical power cord of the washer must be plugged into a properly grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet. The third
grounding prong must never be removed. Never ground the washer to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.
Follow package directions when using laundry products. Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas--resulting in serious injury or death.
Do not combine laundry products for use in 1 load unless specified on the label.
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar.
To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the washer:
All repairs and servicing must be performed by an authorized servicer unless specifically
recommended in this Owner's Guide. Use only authorized factory parts.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the power supply
before attempting any user maintenance. Turning the controls to the OFF position does not disconnect this appliance from the power supply.
To prevent injury, do not reach into the washer while parts are moving. Before loading, unloading or adding items, push in the cycle selector knob and allow the drum to coast to a complete stop before reaching inside.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries. This washer is equipped with an electrical overload protector. The motor will stop if it becomes
overheated. The washer will automatically restart after a cool down period of up to 30 minutes, if the washer has not been manually turned off during this time.

A. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DISPENSER DRAWER
• Slowly open the dispenser drawer by first sliding the safety latch to the right, then pulling the drawer out until it stops.
• After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing of the bleach and fabric softener.
Note: From time to time you may see water in the bleach and fabric softener compartments. This is a result of the siphoning action and is part of the normal operation of the washer.
B. DETERGENT
• Add measured detergent to the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.
• Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent can be used. Note: Liquid detergent will drain into the washer drum as it is added.
• Low sudsing detergent is recommended for this washer. Use the manufacturer's recommended amount.
• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load.
• For best results, avoid oversudsing. Final rinse water should be suds free.
C. LIQUID BLEACH
• If desired, measure out the recommended amount of liquid bleach (not to exceed 1/3 cup (80 mL)) and pour it into the center compartment labeled "Liquid Bleach" and marked with this symbol .
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the bleach which could result in damaged clothes.
Do not use powdered bleach in the dispenser.
D. FABRIC SOFTENER
• If desired, pour the recommended amount of fabric softener into the compartment labeled "Fabric Softener" and marked with this symbol .
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener which could result in stained clothes.
Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash
load.
