Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your Thin Twin, follow basic precautions, including the following:
l
Read all instructions before
using the Thin Twin.
l
NEVER wash or dry items cleaned,
washed, soaked in or spotted with
wax, paint, gasoline or flammable
fluids in the Thin Twin. The fumes
can create a FIRE HAZARD or EXPLOSION. ALWAYS hand launder
and air dry fabrics containing these
materials.
l
NEVER allow children to operate,
play with, or crawl inside the Thin
Twin. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the Thin Twin is
used near children.
l
When discarding an old Thin Twin,
ALWAYS remove the lid and door to
prevent accidental entrapment.
l
NEVER reach into the Thin Twin
until all the motion stops. If the lid is
opened while the washer basket is
spinning, the basket will automaticaky stop in a few seconds.
l
DO NOT install or store Thin Twin
where it will be exposed to the
weather.
l
DO NOT tamper with the controls.
l
You are responsible for making
sure that your Thin Twin is
installed, repaired and parts
replaced by a qualified person.
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
l
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.
l
Use only dryer fabric softeners
specifically labeled as not being
harmful to the dryer.
l
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.
l
Clean lint screen before or after
each load.
l
If hot 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 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 the faucet while it is open.
l
DO NOT let dust, paper, rags, lint,
chemicals, etc. pile up, around or
under the Thin Twin.
l
The Thin Twin must be electrically
grounded. See the Installation
Instructions.

starting it.

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

To change 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.

less wash time for best results.

the type of fabric and soils being
washed.

The top temperature is the wash
selection and the bottom temperature is the rinse selection.
NOTE: Use warm wash water with
the PERMANENT PRESS or KNITS
