IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire , explosion, electric shock, property
damage or injury to persons
when using the appliance, follow
basic precautions, including the
following:
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.
b. 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.
c. 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 washerdryer, 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. Do not reach into the appliance if the
tub or agitator is moving.
8. Do not allow children or pets to play on,
in, or in front of the appliance. Close
supervision is necessary when the
appliance is used near children and
pets.
9. Do not tamper with controls.
10. 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.
11. Unplug power supply cord before
attempting to service your washer.
12. The agitator should not be removed. If
the agitator is removed, it must be
replaced by pushing down completely
and the locking screw tightened before
the washer is operated.
13. Store laundry aids and other material in
a cool, dry place where children cannot
reach them.
14. Do not wash or dry items that are soiled
with vegetable or cooking oil. These
items may contain some oil after laundering.Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.
15. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids (such as vinegar or rust
remover) in the same wash.Hazardous
fumes can form.
16. Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small par ticles can stick to fabrics
washed in following loads and cause
skin irritation.
17. Before the appliance is removed from
service or discarded, remove the door
to the washing compartment.
18. 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.
1. Read all instructions before using the
appliance.
2. As with any equipment using electricity
and having moving parts, there are
potential 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.
3. Do not install or store this appliance
where it will be exposed to the weather.
4. Install and level washer on a floor that
can support the weight.
5. This appliance must be properly
grounded. Never plug the appliance
cord into a receptacle which is not
grounded adequately and in accordance with local and national codes.
See installation instructions for grounding this appliance.
6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not wash items 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.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

Chlorine bleach dispenser
The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid
chlorine bleach before it reaches your wash
load.To use, follow these steps:
1. Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully,
following the instructions on the bottle.
2. Add the bleach to the dispenser before
adding the load. Avoid splashing or overfilling the dispenser.Wipe up spills.
•Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine
bleach directly onto the load or into the
wash tub.It is a po w erful chemical and
can cause fabric damage, such as
tearing or color loss, if not used properly.
• If you prefer to use color-safe, non-
chlorine bleach, pour it into the wash
tub with your detergent. Do not pour
non-chlorine bleaches into the bleach
dispenser.
OPERATING TIPS
Fabric softener dispenser
This dispenser automatically releases liquid
fabric softener at the proper time during the
cycle.To use, follow these steps:
1. Pour liquid fabric softener into the dispenser using the amount recommended
on the package.
2. Add warm water to the dispenser until it
reaches the MAX line.Wipe up spills.
• Do not stop the washer during the first
spin. This will cause the dispenser to
empty too soon.
•Never pour fabric softener directly on
the load. It will leave spots and stains.
• Use the dispenser for liquid fabric sof-
teners only. Clean the area in and
around the dispenser frequently with
hot water, detergent and a soft brush.
For detailed information on sorting, pretreating stains, etc., see the enclosed Laundry Tips booklet.
Detergent
• Use either liquid or granular laundry
detergent. For best results, be sure
detergent is added to the washer
BEFORE the load and be sure wash
water is above 65˚ F.
• Use the correct amount of detergent for
the load size, soil level and water conditions. Use more detergent if you have
hard water and very soiled loads.
If you have soft water or a lightly soiled
load, use less detergent. (See manufacturer’s instructions.)
• Wipe up any detergent spills on the
washer.
Pour liquid fabric softener into cup and dilute
with warm water.
Pour liquid chlorine bleach into bleach dispenser.

Loading
• Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the
tub, up to the top row of holes for a maximum load.
• Do not wrap large items like sheets
around the agitator.
• Mix large and small items for best circulation. Wash bulky items like blankets
separately.
CARE AND CLEANING
Turn off the water faucets after finishing
the day’s washing. This will shut off the
water supply to the washer and prevent the
unlikely possibility of damage from escaping
water.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent,
bleach or other spills as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel – clean with a soft, damp
STORING THE WASHER
Washers can be damaged if water is not
removed from hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare the washer
for storage as follows:
• Select NORMAL on the WHITES cycle
and add one cup of bleach OR white
vinegar to a full load of water without
clothes. (Do not mix bleach and vinegar
in the same wash.Hazardous fumes can
form.) Run the washer through a complete cycle.
• When laundering wrinkle free items or
items of delicate construction, washable
woolens or loosely knit items, never use
less than the MEDIUM water level setting. This will minimize shrinkage, wrinkling and pulling of seams.
•For best results, add the detergent to
washtub before adding the load.
• Close lid carefully to avoid slamming.
•Turn the water faucets off and disconnect
the inlet hoses.
• Disconnect the washer from the electrical supply and leave the washer lid open
to let air circulate inside the tub.
• If the washer has been stored in belowfreezing temperatures, allow time for the
washer to thaw out prior to use.
• After storage, select NORMAL on the
WHITES cycle and run the washer
through a complete cycle.
