IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

precautions, including the following:

■

Read all instructions before using the washer.

■

Do not wash articles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

■

Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

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 the 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.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic

■

WASHER USE

Understanding W asher Cycles

When the Cycle Control knob is set to a number an d pulled out, the washer fills (to the selected load size) before agitation and timing start. The washer begins agitating immediately after filling; agitation occurs with the washer lid up or down.

During agitation, the agitator creates a continuous rollover action that provides a thorough cleaning of the wash load.

After agitatio n starts, th e Cycle Co ntrol kn ob turns clockw ise until it points to an OFF area and the cycle ends.

The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These

NOTE:

pauses are normal for washer operation.

During washing

When you select a small load size setting, your washer has a lower water level. This can cause a clicking sound from the upper part of the agitator.

During drain

If water is drained quickly from your washer (depending on your installation), you may hear air being pulled through the pump during the end of draining.

After drain and before spin

When the cycle changes from draining to spinning, you may hear gears engaging.
