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

grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

6. Replace immediately worn power cords, loose plugs/power outlets.

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

8. If your old washer 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 washer in the presence of explosive fumes.

10. Do not use washer to wash clothes soaked, spotted or washed in
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or any other explosive or flammable
substances that could ignite and explode.

11. Clothes or rags used to clean flammable or explosive materials should
not be washed in the washer till all traces of this material has been
removed, to avoid an accident.

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

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 then 2 weeks. This could be explosive and can explode under
certain circumstances. If this is the case, before using the washer turn on
all the hot faucets and let the hot water run for a few minutes. This will let
the trapped hydrogen escape. During this process do not turn on an
electric appliance, smoke, light a match/lighter or use a flame to avoid
an accident, as hydrogen gas is flammable and can explode.

Wash Cycle/Wash Time:

• Select the appropriate cycle based on the fabric type and select the

appropriate wash time based on the soil level. For your convenience, the
washer has REGULAR, DELICATE, HAND-WASHABLE, and
PERMANENT PRESS cycles.

Note: Turn the knob CLOCK WISE to your desired setting.

Once the cycle is selected, then PULL OUT the knob to START.
This will turn the washer "ON". To turn the washer off,
move the knob to any "OFF" position.

Soak Cycle: This is used for heavily soiled or stained clothes. Here the tub fills with

water than pauses to soak the clothes. The cycle is completed when
water is extracted by spinning of the drum. This cycle is approximately
16 minutes.

Regular Cycle: This is used for work & play, household linens and heavy to lightly

soiled cottons clothes. With regular wash speed, the agitator moves
faster. This cycle is approximately 15 minutes for heavy wash and 6
minutes for regular wash.

Delicate Cycle: This is used for special care fabric, lingerie with normal soil clothes

and delicate items. With delicate wash speed, the agitator moves
slower. This cycle is approximately 6 minutes for regular wash and
3 minutes for light wash.

Hand-Washable Cycle: This is used for lingerie, labeled "Hand-Washable" with

light soil clothes. With hand-washable wash speed, the
agitator moves very gently. This cycle is approximately 6
minutes.

Permanent Press Cycle: This cycle is used for knits, permanent press and

wrinkle-free clothes. With permanent press wash speed,
the agitator moves faster. This cycle is approximately
9 minutes for regular wash and 6 minutes for light wash.

Load Size/Water Level:

• Depending on the size of your load that you want to wash, you can
select the appropriate water level settings: Small, Medium or Large.

Load Size

Reset Mode:

• If you need additional water, turn the knob to the RESET position.
Hold it until you have the amount of water you need. Once done,
return to your original load size setting.

Warning: If you hold the RESET knob for an extended periods while the washer is

running then it will cause washer to overflow.

Loading the Washer:

• Load each item loosely.

• Separate the white and colored clothes. Separate heavy clothes from
light clothes.

• Carefully check all pockets and cuffs for small items.
They can easily slide in to the tub and may damage the tub.

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

• Do not overload your washer.

• When loading wet items, keep water level high enough so items
can float easily in the water.

• Avoid wrapping large items such as bed sheets around the agitator.

• Close the door properly after loading the clothes. If you keep the lid
up, the agitation will not start.

Proper Use of Detergent:

• It is good washing practice to add the detergent to the water
before you add the clothes so that the detergent can work
effectively on your clothes.

Note: You can use less or more detergent depending on the size of the

load, water type in your living area, whether it is soft or hard and
whether the clothes are heavily soiled or lightly soiled.
