IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.

3. Use only detergents or softeners as recommended for use in this manual and keep them out of the reach of children.

4. This appliance must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used.

5. Never unplug your appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

6. Replace immediately any worn power cords, loose plugs and power outlets.

7. Unplug your appliance before cleaning or before making any repairs.

8. If your old appliance is not being used, we recommend that you remove the door. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.

9. Do not operate your appliance in the presence of explosive fumes.

10. Do not use this appliance to wash clothes that have been soaked, spotted or

washed in gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or any other explosive or flammable substances that may ignite and explode.

11. Clothes or rags used to clean flammable or explosive materials should not be

washed in this appliance until all traces of this material have been removed.

12. Do not add or mix any flammable or explosive substances to the wash.

13. Do not try to remove clothes while the tub is moving. Allow it to come to a

complete stop before reaching in.

HLP21E MANUAL 6/20/03 10:03 AM Page 4

21. Proper grounding must be ensured to reduce the risk of shock and fire. DO

NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PLUG. If you do not have a three-prong electric receptacle outlet in the wall, have a certified electrician install the proper receptacle. The wall receptacle MUST be properly grounded.

22. Hydrogen gas may be produced if the water heater has not been used in more

than 2 weeks. This may be explosive under certain circumstances. If this is the case turn on all the hot faucets and let the hot water run for a few minutes before using this appliance. This will let the trapped hydrogen escape. Avoid accidents during this process by refraining from turning ON any electrical appliances, smoking, lighting a match/lighter, and using flames.

23. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing

unless specifically recommended in the user-repair instructions, which you understand and have the skill to carry out.

Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly

recommend that a certified technician perform the service.

24. To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire, do not use extension cords or

adapters to connect the unit to an electrical power source.

HLP21E MANUAL 6/20/03 10:03 AM Page 9

English

• Pre-treat all stains and heavily soiled areas for best results.

• Do not overload your washer.

• Close the door properly after loading the clothes.

• When loading wet items, keep water level high enough to keep the unit in balance and to allow clothing to float easily in the water.

Proper Use of Detergent

• Fill water in the tub at the "Low" water level.

• Add the detergent.

• Load the washer.

• Select the water level.

Note: The amount of detergent used depends on the size of the load, the water

type (hard or soft) and whether the clothes are heavily soiled or lightly soiled. Besides the performance of the washing machine, the quality of the detergent also affects the wash result. For best results, use low sudsing detergents only. Refer to the detergent manufacturer’s recommended amount for usage.

Proper Use of Bleach

Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s chart for the recommended use of liquid bleach. Dilute the bleach and add it to the water before putting clothes into the washtub.

Warning! Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach onto the washer cabinet or onto

clothing. It is a strong chemical that may damage your clothes and the finish of the washer if not properly diluted.

Lint Filter and Water Filter

• The Lint filter is located inside the washer drum. A small nylon bag collects lint and residue from clothes during the wash cycle.

Note: Do not wash your clothes without the filter in its compartment

inside the tub.

• You must clean the filter after every load for the best results. Push down the tab in the filter to remove. Clean and slide the filter back in place.

• There is also a filter in the water inlet valve. This prevents foreign particles in the water from entering the washer. Clean this at least once a month.
