Additional Safety Instructions and Your Responsibilities
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 instructions
on packages of detergent and laundry aids -
especially warnings and
precautions.
HAZARDOUS FUMES can be formed if
chlorine bleach is used in the same
wash as ammonia or acids such as
vinegar or rust remover.
ALWAYS unplug the power supply
cord before attempting to service the
washer.
DO NOT machine wash glass fiber

fabrics washed in following loads
and cause skin irritation.

Operating instructions
Starting Your Washer
Be sure to measure and add detergent, then place
a sorted load in the washer before starting it.
1
. Select a LOAD SIZE
l
Turn the knob to point at a setting
that describes the size of load you
want to wash.
l
The water level can be set for
SMALL (a few items] or LARGE
(a full load].
NOTE: Use the LARGE water level
for best permanent press results.
2
. WATER TEMPERATURES
l
Match the wash and rinse water
temperature to the tvpe of fabrics and
soils being washed.
l
All rinses are cold. Cold rinses save
energy and help prevent wrinkles from
setting into fabrics.
Recommended wash temperatures
can be found in your “Laundry Guide.”

LOAD SIZES AND WATER LEVELS
For best cleaning results, the
load must be able to move freely
in the water. Too big a load or too
little water can cause wear or
