IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE wWARNING For your safety, the information in this manual must be

followed to minimize the risk of re or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

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:

wDANGER: You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions. wWARNING: You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

wCAUTION:

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.

You may be slightly injured or cause damage to the product if you do not follow instructions.

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

wWARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using

this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following.

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as

described in this owner’s Manual.

• Before use, the washer must be properly installed as

described in this manual.

• Do not wash articles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,

dry cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive substances, as they give o vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give o 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 washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water

ow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is ammable, do not smoke or use an open ame during this time.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.

• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,

remove the lid to prevent children from climbing inside.

• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed

to the weather or freezing temperatures.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free

of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline,

chemicals and other ammable vapors and liquids.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt

any servicing other than as described in this manual. We strongly recommend that any service be performed by a

qualied individual.

• See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.

• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions

supplied by the garment manufacturer.

• Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your washer.

Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a

chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch re.

• Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only as

recommended by the manufacturer.

• This washer is not designed for maritime use or for mobile

installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.

• Turn o the water taps and unplug the washer if the machine is to be left for an extended period of time, such as

during vacations.

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

• Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suocation! Keep all packaging from children.

• Always check the inside of the washer for foreign objects

before loading laundry. Keep the lid closed when not in use.

• Do not reach into the washer while parts are moving.

Loading the Washer

Bulky items should be placed as far down in the

wash basket as possible for optimal results. Always place buoyant items at the bottom of the wash basket. The washer will automatically detect the load size.

Because of the high-eciency wash system, the

water level may not completely cover the load.

• Check all pockets to make sure that they

are empty. Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.

• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to

prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.

• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.

• Large items should not be more than half of the

total wash load.

• Do not wash fabrics containing ammable materials (waxes, cleaning uids, etc.)

• The washer will not ll or operate with the lid

open.

* IMPORTANT: Use the Bulky/Bedding cycle for

large or bulky items such as poly-lled jackets,

comforters, pillows, etc. These items may not be as absorbent as other laundry items and should be sorted into a separate wash load for optimal results.

ABOUT THE DISPENSER

HOW TO USE

HOW TO USE

LOADING THE DISPENSER

Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser

The bleach dispenser automatically dilutes and

dispenses liquid chlorine

bleach at the proper time in the wash cycle.

Check clothing care labels for special

instructions.

Measure liquid bleach carefully, following

instructions on the bottle.

• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach

directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.

• Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach

dispenser. Do not place load items on top of the bleach dispenser when loading and unloading the washer.

• Avoid overlling or splashing when adding bleach to the dispenser. The maximum capacity

of the bleach dispenser is one cup of bleach

per wash cycle. Overlling could result in

premature dispensing of bleach.

Before starting the washer, pour a pre-

measured amount of bleach directly into bleach dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered bleach, add it into the wash basket directly before adding clothes.

NOTE: Please flush the bleach dispenser with water after bleach use and then rinse out the residue by use of Rinse & Spin cycle.

Main Wash Detergent Compartment

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle.

Never exceed the detergent manufacturer’s

recommendations when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.

Fabric Softener

Main Wash Detergent

Fabric Softener Compartment

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener,

which will be automatically dispensed during the

nal rinse cycle.

• Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s

recommendations when adding fabric softener.

Do not exceed the maximum ll line. Using

too much fabric softener may result in stained clothes.

• Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water. Do not exceed the maximum ll line.

• Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load

or into the drum.

wWARNING: Do NOT mix chlorine

bleach with ammonia or acids, such as vinegar or rust / scale remover.

Mixing chemicals like these can produce gas which

may cause death. Put the manufacturer’s recommended amount of

undiluted liquid chlorine bleach into the bleach

dispenser. During the final portion of the wash cycle,

two sequential flushes of the dispenser put all the

bleach into the wash load and completely flush the dispenser to eliminate the carryover of bleach

to a subsequent load. Any liquid remaining in the

bleach dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach. To prevent unintentional self-siphoning of the bleach,

never fill the dispenser higher than the maximum fill

level marked on the dispenser. When adding bleach to the dispenser, be careful to avoid spilling it into the laundry load or leaving droplets of bleach around the dispenser. These

things will damage your laundry items.
