BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

_ILWAR_!_I_I_G: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following.

• 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 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 washer, 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.

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 door 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.

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 qualified 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 fire.

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 off 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 suffocatio!! Keep all packaging from

children. Always check the inside of the washer for foreign

objects before loading laundry. Keep the door closed when not in use.

NOTE: To make sure that the washer is properly level, run the washer with a test load:

place approximately 6 pounds of laundry in the machine. Then press POWER, select RINSE+SPIN cycle, and then press the START/ PAUSE button. See the following sections for additional information on cycle selection and operation.

Verify that the washer does not rock or vibrate

excessively during the spin cycle. If the washer vibrates or shakes, adjust

the leveling feet until the washer is stable and

retest.

iNSTALLATiON OF NON-SKID PADS (OPTIONAL)

Some floor surfaces are too slippery to prevent

the washer from moving on the floor during

heavily unbalanced loads. While it is normal for an occasional load to be out of balance, excess noise and vibration can result from the washer

moving out of position. If these conditions are encountered, follow the instructions below for

installation of the non-skid pads. These pads will help prevent the washer from moving during

heavy out of balance conditions thereby reducing noise and vibration.

Grouping Similar Items

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

Different fabrics have different care requirements.

Always wash dark colors separately from light colors and whites to prevent discoloration. If

possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones. The chart below shows recommended groupings.

(whenneeded) (whenneeded)

• Large items should not be more than half of the

total wash load. The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum

should not be tightly packed with items. The door of the washer should close easily.

To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash

single items. Add one or two similar items to

the load. Large, bulky items, such as a blanket,

comforter, or bedspread should be washed individually.

Do not wash or spin waterproof clothes. When unloading the washer, check under the

door seal for small items.

NOTE: The front loading washer rotates the wet laundry to wash it with less water. If you do not

see the water during washing, it is not a problem because the laundry is sufficiently wet.

Loading the washer

• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty, kems 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.

• Pre-treat heavily stained areas for best results. Combine large and small items in a load. Load

large items first.

SELECTING DETERGENT

IMPORTANT: Your Steam Washer TM is designed for use with only High-Efficiency

(HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for front-load washers and contain

suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when purchasing detergent.

HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing

performance, and help to keep the interior of your washer clean.

Using a regular detergent may cause excessive sudsing and unsatisfactory performance.

IMPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid

fabric softener, on top of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately. These products

can damage the finish and controls.

Designed specially to use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent

ABOUT THE DISPENSER

The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments which hold:

• Liquid chlorine bleach.

• Liquid fabric softener. Liquid or powdered detergent for pre-wash.

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 the

most effective cleaning.

After adding the laundry products to the dispenser, close the dispenser drawer.

To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser:

0 Open the dispenser O Load the into thelaundry products

appropriate compartments. Slowly close the dispenser drawer to

avoid early dispensing of the laundry

LOADING THE DISPENSER

Pre-wash Detergent Compartment

Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment when using the pre-wash option.

Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine.

• The amount of detergent added for the pre-wash option is 1/2the amount recommended for the

main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash

cycle requires one measure of detergent, add

1½measure for the pre-wash option.

NOTE: If liquid detergent is to be used for the main wash when using the pre-wash option, the

liquid detergent cup accessory must be used in main wash dispenser to prevent the main

wash liquid detergent from being dispensed

immediately.

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. Always

use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your

washing machine.

Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when adding detergent.

Using too much detergent can result in

detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.

Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.

• When using liquid detergent, make sure the

liquid detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

• When using powdered detergent, remove the insert and liquid detergent cup from the

compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and

insert in place.

NOTE: Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment

with detergent of the same type.
