MPORTANT Safety Instructions
Awarn ING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when
using the appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
As with any equipment using electricity and having moving parts, there are potential
E
hazards. To use this appliance safely, the operator should become familiar with the
instructions for operation of the appliance and always exercise care when using it.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
3
Install and level the clothes washer on a floor that can support the weight.
4
This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the appliance cord into a
5
receptacle which is not grounded adequately and in accordance with local and
national codes. See installation instructions for grounding this appliance.
To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
• Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in,
or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explo
sive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Hand wash
and line dry any items containing these substances.
Any material on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which is saturated
with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in the clothes washer
until all traces of these liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.
These items include acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some
liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers,
• 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 a washing machine or combination washer-dryer, 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.
7
Unplug power supply cord before attempting to service your clothes washer.
S
Do not reach into the appliance if the tumbler is moving.
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children
9
is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in published user-repair instructions that you understand
and have the skills to carry out.
Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry place where children cannot
reach them.
Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with vegetable or cooking oil.These items
13
may contain some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may
smoke or catch fire by itself.
Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids (such as vinegar or rust remover)
in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.
Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small particles can stick to fabrics washed
15
in following loads and cause skin irritation.
Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the
16
washing compartment.
Do not sit on top of the clothes washer.
Inlet hoses are subject to damage and deterioration over time. Check the hoses
periodically for bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks and replace them every five years.

Load the Clothes Washer

unfolded clothes. However, do not pack the tub tightly.
• Overloading may reduce washing efficiency and pos
sibly cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.
• When washing big bulky items or a couple of small
items that do not fill the tub completely, such as a rug

add the item, close the door and press the
