Safety first
ALWAYS unplug the power sup
ply cord before attempting to
service the washer.
NEVER put flammable fluids (dry
cleaning solvents, gasoline, ker
osene) into your washer. NEVER
use them near your washer.
ALWAYS hand launder or air dry
fabrics treated with flammable
fluids before putting them into
your washer.
NEVER put your hands into the
washer until all motion stops. If
the lid is opened while the bas
ket is spinning, the basket will
automatically stop in a few
seconds.
DO NOT allow children to
operate or play with the washer.
ALWAYS store detergent, laundry
aids and other materials in a
cool, dry place where children
can't reach them - in a locked
cabinet, if possible.
ALWAYS read and follow insfructions on packages of detergent
and laundry aids - especially
warnings and precautions.
POISON GAS can be formed if
chlorine bleach is used in the
same wash as ammonia or acids
such as vinegar or rust remover.
DO NOT machine wash glass
fiber materials. Small particles
can stick to fabrics washed in
following loads and cause skin
irritation.
SPECIAL CAUTION: If hot water
has not been used recently (usu
ally two weeks or longer), flam
mable hydrogen gases may build
up in the water heater and hot
water pipes. To prevent injury or
damage, turn on all hot water
faucets and allow water to run
for several minutes. This will
allow gases to escape. Do not
smoke or use any open flame
near the faucet while it is open.
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
Starting your washer
Before starting your washer, be sure you have measured and added
detergent, and have put in a properly sorted load as recommended in
your "Laundry Guide"
Select a
1. LOAD SIZE
• Turn the knob to point at a setting
that describes the size of load you
want to wash.
• Set the knob on or between EX
SMALL (a few items) and LARGE (a
full load).
See your "Laundry Guide" for details
on load sizes.
2. TEMPERATLRES
• Match the wash water temperature
to the type of fabrics and soils being
washed,
• All rinses are cold.
Recommended wash temperatures
can be found in your "Laundry Guide"
and printed under the washer lid.
LOAD SIZES AND WATER EEVELS
Use less than a full tub of water
when you have less than a full load
to wash.
For best cleaning results, the
load must be able to move freely
in the water. Too big a load or too
little water can tear items.
Select WATER
LARGE (16.9 gals./64.0 L)*
(14.5 gals./54.9 L)*
EX SMALL (9.1 gals./34.5 L)*
'Approximate fill with load.
(11.6 gals./43.9 L)*
