FOR YOUR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
Avoid fire hazard or
electrical shock. Do not use an adaptor plug
or extension cord or remove grounding
prong from electrical power cord. Failure to
follow this warning can cause serious injury,
fire or death.
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.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, read
Important Safety Instructions, pages 2-3, before operating this washer.
1. Sort laundry into loads that can be washed together.
Sort items by recommended water temperatures, wash time, and agitate/spin
speeds.
• Separate white, light, and colorfast items from dark and noncolorfast items.
• Separate items which shed lint from items which attract lint. Permanent
press, 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 and loosely knit items from sturdy items.
2. Prepare items for washing.
• Empty pockets.
• Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach towels.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove nonwashable
trims and ornaments.
• Remove pins, decorative buttons, belt buckles, and other objects which
could be damaged. This also helps protect other items in the wash load.
• Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage during washing.
• Place delicate items such as bras, shoulder pads, hosiery, and belts in a mesh
bag to prevent tangling during the wash cycle.
• Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.
Empty pockets.
Place delicate items in a mesh bag.
3. Pretreat stains and heavy soil.
See Stain Removal, pages 6-7, for details.
4. Add a measured amount of detergent to the wash tub
before adding the laundry load.
Follow detergent manufacturer's directions. The amount required depends on
type of detergent, load size and soil level, and water hardness.
5. If desired, add liquid bleach to Bleach Dispenser (some models).
• Before adding the wash load, add liquid bleach to bleach dispenser located
in left front corner under the lid:
• 3/4 cup (180 ml) for small loads
• 1 cup (240 ml) for large loads
• 1-1/4 cups (300 ml) for extra-large loads.
• Then add 1 cup (240 ml) water to flush the dispenser.
• Do not use powdered bleach in the bleach dispenser.
For models without a bleach dispenser, dilute the recommended amount of
liquid chlorine bleach in 1 quart (.95 L) water. Add it to wash water after
a few minutes of agitation. Do not pour bleach directly on wash load.

dispenser by lining up the ribs and grooves and snapping it into position.
Fabric softener will be flushed from area under the built-in fabric softener dispenser
when Large Load Water Level is selected. If a build-up of fabric softener occurs, clean
with hot water. DO NOT REMOVE SERVICE CAP.

(some models)
For models with a removable dispenser (see picture below to the left):
1. Attach fabric softener dispenser to top of agitator by pressing down gently.
2. Add softener to the dispenser, following fabric softener label directions.
3. Add water to bring liquid level to top of the peg in the center of the cup.
