IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
PRIOR TO FIRST USE
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:
An imminently hazardous situation.
You can be killed or seriously
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
injured if you don’t immediately
follow instructions.
A potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious bodily injury.
A potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in
moderate or minor injury.
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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using
your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in
this use and care guide.
• Do not use this appliance for commercial clothes washing.
2
• 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 a washing machine, turn
on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.
As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.

• Load each garment loosely; do not place folded items into the washer.
• Do not overload the washer.
• Close the door properly after loading clothes. Take care to ensure that garments
are not caught in the gasket.
IMPORTANT: If you intend to use the Drying option , load the washer only
half full with clothes. Do not completely fill the washer with a full load. Clothes
must have room to tumble freely in the drum.

USING THE DISPENSER
The dispenser drawer is located in the upper left corner of the washer. Open the
drawer by pulling it straight out. There are three separate compartments for loading
detergent and fabric softener.
ENGLISH
Use only High
Efficiency (HE)
detergent.
PREWASH COMPARTMENT
If the "Prewash" option is selected, use only powdered HE detergent in both the
prewash and main wash compartments. The compartment will be flushed with
water during the prewash.
IMPORTANT: Liquid detergent poured into the main wash compartment will
immediately flow into the wash drum and be used during the prewash.
MAIN WASH COMPARTMENT
If the "Prewash" option is selected, use only powdered HE detergent, otherwise
liquid HE detergent can be used. The compartment will be flushed with water during
the wash cycle.
FABRIC SOFTENER COMPARTMENT
Use liquid fabric softener as recommended by the manufacturer. However, do not
exceed the max fill mark shown in the compartment. This is necessary to ensure
complete flushing during the final rinse and to avoid overflow in the dispenser drawer.
IMPORTANT: The dispenser is designed to work only with liquid fabric softener.
Do not use powdered fabric softener; it will clog the dispenser by not completely
dissolving.
DETERGENT
Use only High Efficiency detergent. HE detergents are specifically
formulated with ingredients to avoid problems caused by too many
soap suds. Excess suds will prevent the complete rinsing of
detergent residue from clothes. Washer performance will be
diminished by soap build up and damage can occur if soap suds
get into areas of the machine like the condensing dryer compartment.
IMPORTANT: Use only powdered HE detergent when both the Prewash and
Main Wash compartments are used. Liquid detergent immediately flows into
the wash drum and both amounts would be used during the first wash program.
24
NOTE: The proper amount of detergent depends on the size of the load, the soil
level of the clothes, and the softness of the water being supplied to the washer.
DRYING METHODS
SORTING AND LOADING CLOTHES
• Separate heavy fabrics from lightweight fabrics.
• Separate items that produce lint (flannel, fleece and towels) from items that
collect lint (knits, corduroy and synthetic fabrics).
• Sort by fabric type (cottons, permanent press and delicates)
• Permanent press items should be dried together with enough space to tumble
freely. Promptly remove garments from the dryer and fold or hang right away.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
To reduce the risk of fire, do not dry items containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber-like materials.
IMPORTANT: Load the machine half-full with clothes. Do not completely fill the drum
with a full load. Clothes must have room to tumble freely in the drum.
