Washer Safety

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety statements under warning symbols. Please pay special attention to these symbols and follow any instructions given. Here is a brief explana tion of the symbol.
AWARNING
This symbol will help alert you to such dangers as fire, electrical shock, burns, and personal injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

AWARNING
• Read all instructions before using your
washer.
• Do not machine wash or machine dry items cleaned, washed, soaked in, or
spotted with wax, paint, gasoline, oil, or other flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. Always
hand wash and line dry items containing
these materials.
• Flammable fluids (dry-cleaning solvents,
kerosene, gasoline, etc.) should not be
used or stored in or near your washer. Do not add flammable fluids to your wash
water. These substances give off vapors that can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not allow children to operate, play
with, or crawl on or inside your washer. Supervise children closely when your washer is used near them.
• Before your washer is removed from
service or discarded, remove the lid to
prevent accidental entrapment.
•After starting a cycle, do not reach into
the basket unless the Cycle Control
Knob is pushed in and all motion stops.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
To reduce the risk of fire, eiectrical shock, or
injury when using your washer, foiiow basic
precautions inciuding the foiiowing:
• If your hot water has not been used recently (usually two weeks or longer), hydrogen gases may build up in your water heater and your hot water pipes. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. To prevent injury or damage, before using your washer, 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 your faucet while it is open.
Please ...
• Have only a qualified person install, repair, or replace parts on washer.
• Maintain washer properly.
• Protect washer from the weather and keep it where the temperature will not fall below freezing.
• Install and level washer on a floor that can support the weight.*
• Connect washer to the correct 3-prong outlet, electrical supply, water supply, and drain.*
• Ground washer properly.*
*See the Installation Instructions.

Understanding your responsibilities

• Store laundry aids and other materials in a cool, dry place where children cannot reach them (in a locked cabinet if possible).
• Read and follow instructions on packages of detergent and laundry aids, especially warnings and precautions.
• Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with vegetable or cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.
• Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids (such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.
• Unplug power supply cord before attempt ing to service your washer.
• Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in following loads and cause skin irritation.

For improved cleaning, use two times the
amount of detergent recommended for a wash cycle.

Normal Cycle

The Normal cycle features the Gentle Wash system, and high agitation and spin speeds to shorten drying time. Use this cycle for cleaning cotton and linen fabrics. Select 10
(REGULAR) or 14 (HEAVY) minutes of
wash time, depending on whether your load
is moderately or heavily soiled.

Permanent Press Cycle

The Permanent Press cycle features the
Gentle Wash system, a cool-down rinse, and low spin speeds to reduce wrinkling. Use this cycle for cleaning permanent press
and some synthetic fabrics. Select 8 (LIGHT) or 10 (REGULAR) minutes of wash time, depending on whether your wash load is
lightly or moderately soiled.

Delicate Cycle

The Delicate cycle features a reduced agita tion speed for gentle soil removal. Low spin speeds reduce wrinkling. Use 6 minutes of wash time for cleaning lightly to moderately soiled delicate items and washable knits.

Pre-Wash Cycle

The Pre-Wash cycle features a brief period of high speed agitation to help remove heavy soils and stains that need pretreat ment.
