hazard or explosion.

ImportantSafetyInstructions

• Read all instructions before using the Thin Twin.

• NEVER wash or dry items cleaned,

washed, soaked in or spotted with wax, paint, gasoline or flammable fluids inthe Thin Twin. The fumes can create a FIRE HAZARD or EX-

PLOSION. ALWAYS hand launder and air dry fabrics containing these

materials.

• NEVER allow children tooperate,

play with, or crawl inside the Thin Twin.Close supervision of children is necessary when the Thin Twinis used near children.

• When discarding an old Thin Twin,

ALWAYS remove the lidand door to prevent accidental entrapment.

• NEVER reach into the Thin Twin

untilall the motion stops. If the lidis opened while the washer basket is spinning,the basket willautomati- cally stop in a few seconds.

• DO NOT install or store Thin Twin

where itwill be exposed to the weather.

• DO NOT tamper with the controls.

• You are responsible for making

sure that your Thin Twin is installed, repaired and parts replaced bya qualified person.

• NEVER use or store flammable fluids (dry-cleaning solvents,

gasoline, kerosene) in or near your

Thin Twin. Do not add flammable fluids to the wash water. These

substances give off vapors that

can create a FIRE HAZARD or

EXPLOSION.

• Use only dryer fabric softeners

specifically labeled as not being

harmful to the dryer.

• FIRE HAZARD and DAMAGE to

materials can result from:

- drying rubber, rubber-like and heat sensitive materials with heat.

- allowing lint to build-up inside

the dryer or exhaust system - cleaning should be done by a qualified person.

• Clean lint screen before or after each load.

• Ifhot water has not been used recently (usually 2 weeks or longer),

hydrogen gases may build up in the water heater and the hot water

pipes. HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. To prevent injuryor damage, before using your washer,

turn on all hot water faucets and al- low 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.

WasherOperatingInstructions

The drawings in this book may vary slightly from your Thin Twin model. They are designed to show the different features of all the models covered by this book.

NOTE: Your model may not include all the features shown.

Startingyourwasher

Be sure to measure and add detergent, then place a sorted load in the washer before starting it.

1. Select a load size

• Position the Load Size Selector at the setting that describes the size of load you want to wash.

• The selector can be set anywhere on or between EX SMALL (a few small items) and EX LARGE (a full load).

• Tochange the water level after the washer has started to fill, turn the selector to RESET, then to the desired water level.

NOTE: For best washing results, items should move freely in the washer. Do not overload the washer or choose a water level that is too low for your wash load.

For best results with permanent press clothes, use the EX LARGE water level.

Reduce wash time when using EX

SMALL or SMALL water level settings.

Loads with only a few small items need less wash time for best results.

2. Select water temperature

,,Match the water temperature to

the type of fabric and soils being washed.

• The top temperature is the wash selection and the bottom tempera-

ture is the rinse selection,

NOTE: Use warm wash water with the PERMANENT PRESS or KNITS GENTLE Cycles.

For heavily soiled permanent press

or knit clothes, pre-wash or pre-soak

before washing in warm water.

ALWAYS use cold rinse water for

permanent press fabrics.
