WARNING! FIRE HAZARD

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.

Do not wash articles which have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, oil, waxes, chemical solvents, alcohol, turpentine, or other flammable or explosive materials. These substances will be retained in articles, and articles which still contain these flammable or explosive substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

Observe these precautions when using cleaning fluids, spot or stain removers, etc. These products should be labeled “nonflammable.” Use according to manufacturers’ directions in a well ventilated area or outdoors. Thoroughly rinse articles by hand before placing them in the washer – rust removers, for example – will damage components and the finish of the washer.

Keep area around and underneath washer free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags, gasoline, and all other flammable vapors and liquids.

If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washer, turn on all the hot water faucets and let the water flow from each faucet for several minute accumulated hydrogen gas. As this gas is flammable, during this time.

Recent studies have shown that if vegetable oil contaminated materials are incompletely washed, a

Operating Tips

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 the wash water is above 60

• 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.

For best results add the detergent to the washtub

• Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to the top row of holes for a maximum load.

Operating Tips

Additional Tips

• During the spin, it is possible for the load to become unevenly distributed in the tub. If this happens, push in the control dial, open the lid, redistribute the load, close the lid and restart the washer. The spin will resume at the point it was interrupted.

• The washer will pause briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal.

• This washer is designed so that it

will not agitate or

spin when the lid is open. It will, however, fill with the lid open so water is available for pretreating stains or diluting fabric softener.

• If you open the lid during a spin cycle, the washer will stop. When the lid is closed and the washer is restarted, the washer will continue the cycle at the point it was interrupted.

Unbalanced Spin Load Compensator

Your new washer is designed to handle out-of-balance loads without shutting down or interrupting the washing cycle.

For this reason, the cycle will always be completed. If heavier fabrics in such out-of-balance loads should ever contain excessive moisture at the completion of the cycle, redistribute the clothes in the washer and reset the control dial for the final spin period.

Care & Cleaning

1. After washing, leave the lid open until the interior is dry.

Check hoses to be sure there are no kinks or knots.

Overload Protector

A built-in protector automatically shuts off the washer motor in case of an overload. This can occur if:

• The load being washed is too heavy.

• Too many appliances are plugged into the line operating your washer.

• A low voltage condition exists on the line.

• Lid is opened and closed repeatedly.

The overload protector permits the washer to start again when the motor has cooled to a safe operating temperature.

If the motor stops repeatedly, call your service technician.

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the interior of the washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew or bacteria residue that may remain in the washer as a re clothes. We recommend taking the following steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your washer interior. The frequency with which the washer should be cleaned and freshened depends on factors such as usage, the amount of dir through your washer, or the use of cold water.
