WASHER SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY 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 gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, other flammable, or explosive
substances as they give off vapours that
could ignite or explode.
•
Do not add gasoline, 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
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.
– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –
•
Do not allow children to play on or in the
washer. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the washer is used near
children.
•
Before the washer is removed from
service or discarded, remove the door.
•
Do not reach into the washer if the 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.
•
See Installation Instructions for grounding
requirements.
You will be killed or seriously injured if you
don’t follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you
don’t follow instructions.
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and
obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER” or
“WARNING.” These words mean:
wDANGER
wWARNING
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what
can happen if the instructions are not followed.

USING YOUR WASHER
OPERATING YOUR WASHER
wWARNING
wWARNING
1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer.
•
If desired, you may
also add powder or
liquid colour safe
bleach. If the water
temperature is low,
dilute the detergent in
warm water.
•
Add extra detergent
for the Super Wash
cycle.
2. Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your
washer, filling to the
top row of holes.
•
Load evenly to maintain washer balance.
An off balance load
can make the washer
vibrate during spin.
•
Mix large and small
items. Larger items
such as sheets should
be loaded last.
•
Items should move easily through the wash water.
Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
•
To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes
and some synthetic knits, use a large load size to
provide more space (see step 6).
3. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid bleach
into the liquid bleach
dispenser. Bleach will be
diluted automatically
during the wash part of
the cycle.
•
Never use more than
250 mL (1 cup) for a full
load. Use less with
a smaller load size.
•
Follow the
manufacturer’s
directions for safe use.
•
To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout.
Do not let bleach splash, drip, or run down into
the washer basket.
•
Make sure you use only liquid bleach in this
dispenser.
