damage or injury to persons when using the appliant», foliow

basic precautions, including the following:

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 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 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 accor dance with local and national codes.

See installation instructions for ground ing this appliance.

6. To avoid 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. Hand wash and line dry any

items containing these substances.

Any material on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which is satu

rated 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, denatured alcohol, gasoline,

kerosene, some liquid house hold cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

b. Do not add gasoline, dry-clean

ing 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, hydro

gen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLO SIVE. 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 accumulat

ed 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 to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the

appliance is used near children.

remaining oil, the fabric smoke or catch fire by itself.

15. Do not use chlorine bleach ammonia or acids (such as ^ gar or rust remover) in the s wash, Hazardous fumes can f

16. Do not machine wash fiberc materials. Small particles can to fabrics washed in foilo' loads and cause skin irritation

17. Before the appliance is rem from service or discarded, rer the door to the washing com

ment.

OPERAnHG TIPS

Pour liquid chlorine bleach into bleach dispenser,

CHIORINIBUACH DISP{N$№

Pour liquid fabric softener into cup and dilute with warm water.

FA B R I C S O f T t № R Di s p m

The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid

chlorine bleach before it reaches your wash

load. To use, follow these steps:

Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully,

following the instructions on the bottle.

Add the bleach to the dispenser before

adding the load. Avoid splashing or over filling the dispenser. Wipe up spills.

Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the wash tub. It is a powerful chemical and can

cause fabric damage, such as tearing or color loss, if not used properly.

If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlo rine bleach, pour it into the wash tub with your detergent. Do not pour non-chlorine

bleaches into the bleach 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 recom

mended 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 dis

penser to empty too soon.

• Never pour fabric softener directly on the load. It will leave spots and

stains.

• Use the dispenser for liquid fabric softeners only. Clean the area in and around the dispenser fre

quently with hot water, detergent and a soft brush.

Add detergent before the load.

DFTFRGFKT

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 manu facturer’s instructions.)

Wipe up any detergent spills on the washer.

coni.

LO A D I N G

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.

lO A D S t N S O R " A G I T A 1 D R

The LoadSensor™ agitator is specially designed to be sensitive to every load. The spiral fins will move continuously with large, heavy loads. With smaller, more delicate loads, the spiral fins will move intermittently, or with very light loads, not at all. It is normal to notice a difference in the agitator sound from load to load.

When laundering wrinkle free it< or items of delicate construct washable woolens or loosely

items, never use less than the ME

UM water level setting. This will n mize shrinkage, wrinkling and pul of seams.

For best results, add the deterger washtub before adding the load.
