potential hazards.To usethis appliance
safely, the operator should become
familiar with the instructions for opera-
tion of the appliance and always exer-
cise care when using it.
3. Do not install or store this appliance
where it will be exposed to theweather.
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 accor-
dance with local and national codes.
See installationinstructions for ground-
ing this appliance.
6. Toavoid the possibility of fire or explo-
sion:
a. Do not wash items that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, other flamma-
ble or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.Handwash and line dry any
items containingthese 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
washer until all traces of these liq-
uids or solids and their fumes have
been removed.
These items include acetone, dena-
tured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene,
some liquid household cleaners,
some spot removers, turpentine,
waxesand 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.
C,
Under certain conditions, hydrogen
gas may be produced in a hotwater
systemthat has not been used for 2
weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS
IS EXPLOSIVE. Ifthe hotwater sys-
tem 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 eachfor
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.

items may contain some oil after laun-
dering.Dueto the remainingoil, the fab-
ric may smoke or catchfire by itself.
15. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammo-
nia or acids (such as vinegar or rust
remover) in the same wash. Hazardous

2. Add the bleach to the dispenser before
adding theload. Avoidsplashingor over-
filling the dispenser.Wipe up spills.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine
bleachdirectly ontothe load or intothe
wash tub. It isa powerfulchemical and
can cause fabric damage, such as
tearing or color loss, if not used prop-
erly.
• 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.

penserusing the amount recommended

hotwater, detergent and a soft brush.
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 condi-
tions. Use more detergent if you have
hard water and very soiled loads.

load, use less detergent.(See manufac-
turer's instructions.)
Wipe up any detergent spills on the
washer.

LOADING
Turnoff the water faucets after finishing
the day's washing. This will shut off the
water supply to the washer and preventthe
unlikelypossibilityof damagefrom escaping
water.
• Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the
tub, up to the top row of holes for a max-
imum load.
Do not wrap large items like sheets
around the agitator.
Mix large and small items for best circu-
lation. Wash bulky items like blankets
separately.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent,
bleachor other spills as they occur.
Cleanthe following as recommended:
Control Panel - clean with a soft, damp
cloth and glass cleaner. Do not use
abrasive powders or cleaning pads.
When laundering wrinkle free items or
items of delicate construction, washable
woolens or loosely knit items, never use
less than the MEDIUM water level set-
ting. This will minimize shrinkage, wrin-
kling and pulling of seams.
For best results, add the detergent to
washtubbefore addingthe load.
Close lid carefully to avoidslamming.
Cabinet - clean with soap and water.
Interior - hard water deposits may be
removed using a recommended hard
water remover/cleaner labeled washer
safe. Follow the cleaner manufacturer's
directions for use, and make sure the
washer is run through a complete cycle
to rinse out any remainingcleaning sub-
stance.
Washers can be damaged if water is not
removed from hoses and internal compo-
nents 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 samewash. Hazardousfumes can •
form.) Run the washer through a com-
plete cycle.
Turnthe water faucetsoff and disconnect •
the inlet hoses.

cal supplyand leave thewasher lid open
to let air circulate inside the tub.
