Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

"WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

[] Read all instructions before using the washer. [] Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned

Clean Washer cycle.

Load Size Recommendations For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted for each cycle.

_ Small load: Fill the washer drum with 3-4 items, not more than 1/4 full.

_ Medium load: Fill the washer drum up to about 1/2 full.

Large load: Fill the washer drum up to about 3/4 full.

Extra-large load: Fill the washer drum, but make sure clothes can tumble freely. For best results, avoid packing tightly.

USING YOUR WASHER

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.

No washer can completely remove oil. De not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on

it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates

excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced

rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and, over time, build-up of mold or mildew. HE detergents are made

to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount

of detergent to use.

Use only High Efficiency (HE)detergent.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

iMPORTANT."

[] Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object

can plug pumps and may require a service call.

[] Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and

remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

[] Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items

during washing.

[] Turn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers

from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

[] Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because

heat can set stains into fabric.

[] Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry

product instructions, improper usage may cause damage to your garments.

First wash cycle without laundry

Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during the final installation step, choose the QUICK WASH cycle and

run it without clothes. Use only HE detergent. Use 1/2 the manufacturer's recommended amount for a medium-size load.

This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.

1, Sort and prepare your laundry

Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and colorfastness. Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled. Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. Treat stains promptly and check for colorfastness by testing stain remover products on an inside seam.

:2, Load laundry into washer

Open the washer door. Place a load of sorted clothes loosely in the washer. Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling. Close the washer door by pushing

it firmly until the latch clicks.

[] Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully

loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close easily. See "Cycle Guide" for loading suggestions.

[] Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items.

Load evenly.

[] Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items,

use more than one bag and fill bags equally.
