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.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow these Important Safety Instructions:

PREVENT FIRE

o Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned

in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning sol-

vents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. Do not store
these items on or near the washer. These substances

give off vapors or chemica! 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 flam-
mable or explosive substances to the wash water.

These substances give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-

duced 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.

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 rubber or plastic parts of the washer.

PROTECT CHILDREN

o 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 ma-
terials 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 pre-
vent personal injury, observe all warnings on product

labels.

Before the washer is removed from service or dis-
carded, remove the washer door to prevent accidental

entrapment.

Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
serious personal injuries.

PREVENT TNJURY

- 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 INSTAL-
LATION 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 un-
less specified on the label.

Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such
as vinegar.

FIRE/ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

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. ........................

It may be necessary to reinforce the floor to prevent

vibration or movement.

- 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 add-
ing items, push in the cycle selector knob and allow

the drum to coast to a complete stop before reaching

inside.

Normal Operating Sounds

You may or may not hear the following sounds from your
new washer:

A, DRAIN HOSE The washer has a flexible drain hose

to carry water from the washer to the stand pipe of
your home. You will hear water flowing into your stand

pipe. This isa normal part of the operation of the

washer.

B, WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters

the dispenser system, it iscommon to hear a water
flowing sound. This normal sound will vary slightly

based on the water pressure in your home.

I::. DRAIN PUMP Your washer isequipped with a high

velocity drain pump. It is normal to hear humming and
gurgling sounds as water is pumped from the washer.

Both of these sounds are normal and indicate that

your pump is functioning correctly.

D, HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used to

drive the drum to high spin speeds to extract water
from your load. You will hear a sound associated with
these higher spin speeds. This sound is normal and
will vary slightly as the spin speed varies with load size
and cycle selected.

Operating Your Washer

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to

persons, read the IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONSin

this Use and Care Guide before operating your washer.

Abnormal, on=going sounds may be an indication of a
pending washer failure and should be investigated by a
qualified technician.

Sort laundry into loads that can be washed
together,

= Sort items by recommended cycle and water tem-

perature.

o Separate white, light and colorfast items from dark

and non-colorfast items.
Separate items that shed lint from items that at-

tract lint. Casual, synthetic, knit, and corduroy

items will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and che-
nille 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.

Operating Your Washer, continued

2 Prepare items for washing.

- Empty pockets.

Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach

towels.

o 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 insideout to prevent pilling.

Place delicate and small items such as bras, hosiery
and baby socks in a mesh bag.

(Mesh bag not included.)

4 Add laundry load to washer,

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 as a sweater, towel or
jeans is inefficient and may cause an out-of-ba!-
ance load. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance

the load.
Wash a single heavy item such as a king-sized

comforter, bedspread or sleeping bag separately.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the items
should not be tightly packed. The door should close
easily.

3 Pretreat stains and heavy soil.

See Stain Removal Guide in this guide for safe,
successfu! stain removal instructions.

Safe Stain Removal Procedures

To reduce the risk of fire or serious injury to persons or
property, comply with the basic warnings listed below:

o Read and comply with all instructions on stain re-

moval products.
Keep stain removal products in their original labeled

containers and out of children's reach.
Thoroughly wash any utensils used.
Do not combine stain removal products, espeda[ly

ammonia and chlorine bleach. Dangerous fumes can
result.

Never wash items which have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other flammable
or explosive substances because they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.

Never use highly flammable solvents, such as gaso-
line, inside the home. Vapors can explode on contact
with flames or sparks.

For Successful Stain Removal=

= Remove stains promptly.

Determine the kind of stain, then follow the recom-
mended treatment in the stain removal chart on the

next page.
To pretreat stains, use a prewash product, liquid

detergent, or a paste made from powder detergent
and water.

Use cold water on unknown stains because hot water
can set stains.

Consult care label instructions for treatments to avoid
on specific fabrics.

Check for colorfastness by testing stain remover prod-
ucts on an inside seam.

Rinse and wash items after stain removal.

HARMFUL VAPOR HAZARD

Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach with other
household chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust

removers, acid or products containing ammonia. These
