WASHERSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

m Read all instructions before using the washer. _,
m Do not wash articles 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.

m 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.

mUnder 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 washing machine, turn on all hot

water faucets and let the water flow from each for sever-
al minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen _'
gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an

open flame during this time.

Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add

2,

(OPTIONAL) Add Liquid Chlorine Bleach,
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer's directions for safe use.
Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it touches. The

damage appears as rips, holes, tears, or color loss and may
not show up until several washings later. To avoid spilling, use
a cup with a pouring spout, Do not let bleach splash, drip, or

run down into the washer basket. Always measure liquid
chlorine bleach. Do not guess, Never use more than the

manufacturer's recommended amount for a full load. Use less
with a smaller load size,

Style 1: With Chlorine Bleach Dispenser (on some models)

• Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser. Pour
measured liquid chlorine bleach into the liquid chlorine
bleach dispenser. Bleach is immediately fed into washer
and is diluted automatically during the wash part of the
cycle.

Style 2: Without Chlorine Bleach Dispenser (on some models)

• Let the washer fill and begin agitating the load,

• Add bleach 5 minutes into the wash cycle for best
cleaning and so that bleach can be removed in the rinse
cycle. Pour bleach around the agitator, not directly onto

the load,

(OPTIONAL) Add Liquid Fabric Softener.
NOTE: Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.

Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics. Always dilute fabric
softener with warm water. Too much fabric softener can make

some items (diapers and towels) nonabsorbent. If this
happens, do not use it every load, or use less of it in each

load.
Style 1: With Liquid Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some

models)

• Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. Pour
measured liquid fabric softener into the dispenser.
Softener is added automatically during the rinse portion of
the cycle. Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the
dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches the
crossbar in the dispenser opening.

Style 2: Without Liquid Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some
models)

• In the final rinse ONLY, add fabric softener that has been
diluted with 1/2to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water.

Turn the LOAD SIZE or WATER LEVEL selector to the correct
setting for your wash load and the type of fabric being

washed. You may change the load size or water level selection
after the washer has started filling by turning the selector to a

different setting,
