IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

You instructions.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

■ Read all instructions before using the washer.

■ Do not wash articles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with petrol, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they give off vapours that could ignite or explode.

■ Do not add petrol, dry-cleaning solvents, or other

flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapours 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 the washing machine, turn on all hot water taps 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.

■ Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.

■ The appliance is not intended for use by young children

or infirm persons without supervision.

■ Before the washer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door or lid.

■ Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator

is moving.

■ Do not install or store the washer where it will be

exposed to the weather.

■ Do not tamper with controls.

■ Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or

attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

■ See Installation Instructions for earthing requirements.

■ If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by

the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.

No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on

it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add

powdered or liquid color safe bleach. Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer.

■ Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and

small items. Items should move easily through the wash water. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.

2. (OPTIONAL) Add liquid chlorine bleach. NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s directions for proper use.

Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it touches. The damage appears as rips, holes, tears, or color loss and may not show up until several washings later. To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer basket. Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do not guess. Do not use more than the manufacturer’s recommended amount for a full load. Use less with a smaller load size.

Electrical Shock Hazard Electrically earth this appliance. Do not use an extension cord or an electrical portable

outlet device. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Style 1: With liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on some models)

■ Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser. Pour

measured liquid chlorine bleach into the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser. Bleach is immediately fed into washer and is diluted automatically during the wash part of the cycle.
