•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, or 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.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

1.Fabric Care Labels

Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment and how it should be washed.

2.Sorting

To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.

Different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.

Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing discoloration of white clothing. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.

	Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light)	Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
	Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light)	Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
	Color (White, Lights, Darks)	Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
	Lint (Lint Producers, Collectors)	Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

3.Check before loading

Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.

Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.

•Check all the pockets to make sure that they are empty. Things such as clip, matches,

pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.

• Close zippers, hooks, and strings to make sure that these items do not snag on other clothes.

• Pretreat dirt and stains by brushing a little detergent dissolved in water onto stains like collars and cuffs to help lift dirt.

NOTE: Do not wash or spin water-proof clothes.

U sing the dispenser

The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments which hold 1) liquid chlorine bleach, 2) liquid fabric softener, 3) liquid or powdered detergent for prewash and 4) liquid or powdered detergent and color safe bleach for main wash.

All laundry products can be added at once in their respective dispenser compartments. They will be dispensed at the appropriate time for most effective cleaning. After loading the laundry additives into the dispenser, close the dispenser drawer.

Add detergent, bleach and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser following these steps:

1.Open the dispenser drawer.

2.Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.

3.Close the dispenser drawer.

About detergent

Low sudsing detergent is recommended for this washer. Use the manufacturer's recommended amount.

If low sudsing detergent is not available, a reduced amount of regular detergent may be used.

Because reducing the amount of detergent may reduce cleaning, it is important to pretreat stains,

sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.

Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load.

For best results, avoid using too much detergent.
