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.

20. This appliance must be connected to proper electrical outlet with the correct electrical supply.

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 then 2 weeks. This could be explosive and can explode under certain circumstances. If this is the case, before using this appliance 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.

23. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

24. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-repair instructions that you understand and have skills to carry out.

25. Do not use heat dry to articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

"Front Load" Washer

This style of washing is gentle on your laundry because it has a tumble wash action. Here there is no agitator to damage your clothes. Since there is no agitator in this style of washer, the washer runs quietly. This style of washer saves you money as it uses less water and detergent to clean your laundry.

OPERATIONS

Power Button:

• Push the button in to have your washer "ON". The light will turn on indicating that power is "ON". Push the button out to have your washer "OFF". The light will go off indicating that power is "OFF".

Spin Cycle Selector Button:

• If you want to extract more water from your clothes during the wash cycle, leave the button in the out position. Clothes will be drier when this option is selected.

• If you do not want to extract water from your clothes using the spin cycle, push the button in. If this option is selected, only the excess water in the tub will drain leaving the clothes wet. The "No Spin" button when pushed in will not activate the spin cycle.

ON/OFF

SPIN

Advantages of No-Spin Cycle:

• The spin cycle may cause excessive creasing and wrinkling in some fabrics.

• High speed spin might be too strong for delicate garments. It could result in stretching or excessive wear.

Note: When the No Spin is pressed in, the machine will not automatically go to

the spin dry function.

Water Saver:

• To activate this option press in the "Water Saver" button. If you are washing a small or a medium load you may want to use this option. This will reduce the water in the rinse cycle.
