Important Safety Information

Water Heater Safety

Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS CAN BE EXPLOSIVE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.

If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This will allow any hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

Read all safety information before using

Many washers are located near a gas dryer or a water heater in the home.

Important Safety Information

Warning

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following sections.

Safety Precautions

• Use this appliance only for its

intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

• This washer must be properly

installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet, you can obtain one by writing to: Manager, Consumer Relations, Camco Inc., 1 Factory Lane, Suite 310, Moncton, N.B. E1C 9M3.

— Properly ground to conform

with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in Installation Instructions.

— Install or store where it will not be

exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather.

—

Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

— Connect to adequate plumbing

and drain facilities as described in the Installation Instructions.

• Turn off water faucets when the

washer is not in use to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to minimize leakage if a hose or valve should break or rupture.

• Do not repair or replace any

part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Owner’s Manual or in published userrepair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

• When disconnecting this

appliance pull by the plug rather than the cord to avoid damage to the cord or junction of cord and plug. Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

• Keep all laundry aids (such

as detergents, bleaches, fabric softeners, etc.) out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet. Observe all warnings on container labels to avoid personal injury.

• Do not tamper with the controls.

• Keep the area around and

underneath your appliances free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.

• Keep the floor around your

appliances clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.

• Never reach into washer while

it is moving. Before loading, unloading or adding clothes, push in the Cycle Selector knob and wait until the machine has completely stopped before opening the lid.

• Close supervision is necessary

if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play inside, on or with this appliance or any discarded appliance. Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping/packing materials properly. Before discarding a washer, or removing from service, remove the washer lid.

• Do not leave washer lid up

during cycle. This will stop the wash and spin action and prevent completion of the cycle.

• Do not wash or dry articles that

have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode. Do not add these substances to the wash water. Do not use these substances around your washer and/or dryer during operation.

• The laundry process can reduce

the flame retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result, the garment manufacturer’s care instructions should be followed very carefully.

• Do not mix chlorine bleach with

ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.

• Never climb on or stand on the

washer top.

• Do not wash fiberglass articles in

your washer. Skin irritation could result from the remaining particles that may be picked up by clothing during subsequent washer use.

• To minimize the possibility

of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply or disconnect the washer at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

• NOTE: Turning the Cycle

Selector knob to an off position does NOT disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

• Do not operate this appliance

if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.

If necessary, loosen build-up with a clean, soft cloth after soaking. Do not use a stiff brush; you may roughen the surface of the dispenser.

Rinse and reassemble dispenser. Place dispenser back on the agitator.

Always add detergent before adding clothes so that the detergent can work effectively.

Using the correct amount of detergent is one of the most important things you can do to make sure your wash comes out clean. Always follow the detergent package directions.

Using too little detergent is a common cause of laundry problems. Use more detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils or lower water temperature.

Empty pockets, unroll cuffs, shake out loose dirt, zip zippers, fasten snaps, hooks and buttons.

Load dry items loosely, spacing evenly around agitator, and close the lid.

A typical wash load: two twin sheets, two pillow cases, three small bath towels, three wash cloths and two t-shirts

Place large items in bottom, small items in the middle and medium items on top.

When loading wet items make sure you set the load/water level high enough to allow the items to move freely.

Wash bulky items like blankets separately.

To add items after washer has started, push in Cycle knob and submerge additional items next to the agitator. Close the lid and pull Cycle knob out to restart.

To reduce wrinkling, give permanent press items, synthetics and poly knits room to move freely in the washer.

NOTE:

•

Do not wrap large items like sheets around the agitator.

•

Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.) in your washer.

Load

Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate. The wash basket is practically care free.

If you want to clean the basket use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquid detergent, then rinse. (Do not use harsh or gritty cleaners.) To rinse:

Choose the largest load size.

Turn the Cycle knob to any rinse setting.

Start washer.

Fill Hoses—

Hoses connecting washer to faucet should be replaced every five years.

Lint Filter—

The lint filter is located under the agitator. It is self cleaning and requires no maintenance.

Exterior—

Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with sharp objects.

Moving and Storage—

Ask the service technician to remove water from drain pump and hoses. Do not store the washer where it will be exposed

to the weather. For information on how to keep the tub stationary when moving the washer call the Beaumark service number 800-361-3400.

Long Vacations—

Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will be below freezing.

The Washer

Care & Cleaning

Down-Filled Garments Always wash down-filled garments separately from other types

of garments. Wet down gives off an odor that will disappear when the down is dried. Wash down items frequently to fluff up the down and to retain down’s warmth. When washing make sure the load is balanced. Add towels if necessary. Always tumble-dry down garments.

Pillows Pillows are made from a variety of materials. Wash only if

recommended on the Pillow Manufacturer’s Care Label. Before washing check pillows for weak seams or holes, and mend. Let the washer fill with water and add detergent. Let the washer agitate for several minutes and then add pillows in pairs. This will keep the load balanced. Use the largest load/water level available.

Blankets Let the washer fill with water, add detergent, allow detergent to

dissolve, then add blanket. Wash only one blanket at a time.

Electric Blankets Sew a strong piece of cloth over the plug to protect the

blanket and washer from damage. Wash according to pillow instructions above.

Permanent Press Clothes Select a larger load/water level than normal. This will provide that are Line Dried more water to help reduce wrinkling and to allow clothes enough

room to move around. Remove clothes as soon as the wash cycle is complete and hang them up immediately.

Specialty Care Guide

Item Suggested Care

Always follow Fabric Manufacturer’s Care Label or instructions when laundering. Otherwise use the information below as a general guide.

Stain Removal Guide

• Check Fabric Care Label.

• Remove stains as soon as

possible. The fresher the stain, the easier it is to remove.

• To make sure a stain removal

product is safe for your fabric test it on a hidden inside seam.

• Avoid use of hot water on

unknown stains. It can set some stains.

General Hints

A thorough soaking with detergent or a special soaking agent is an effective way to remove heavy soils or stains.

Try one of these methods.

• Use the soak cycle. If your model

does not have a soak cycle you can still soak by allowing the washer to fill and agitate for a few minutes to help loosen soils. Then push in the Cycle knob to stop the washer (keep lid closed) and allow to soak. Don’t leave your laundry soaking in the washer longer than a few hours. After the soak period, pull out the Cycle knob to complete the cycle.

• Pretreat heavy soil by rubbing

in a small amount of liquid detergent or a paste made of water and powdered detergent or soap. For best results, wait 1/2 hour before washing.

• To remove stains on white or

bleachable fabrics, try soaking the stained area in a container for five minutes in the following solution and then launder in the washer:

1 US gallon (3.8 liters) cool water 1/4 cup (60 ml) chlorine bleach

liquid detergent.

• Let stand 30 minutes.

• Rewash using the hottest water

that is safe for the fabric.

Preventing These Stains:

• Increase the amount of

detergent used.

• Increase water temperature.

• Wash synthetics often.
