Safety Information

Explanation of Safety Messages

Throughout this manual and on machine decals, you

will find precautionary statements (“DANGER,”

“WARNING,” and “CAUTION”) followed by specific

instructions. These precautions are intended for the

personal safety of the operator, user, servicer, and

those maintaining the machine.

Additional precautionary statements (“IMPORTANT”

and “NOTE”) are followed by specific instructions.

IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT”is used

to inform the reader of specific procedures where

minor machine damage will occur if the procedure

is not followed.

NOTE: The word “NOTE”is used to communicate

installation, operation, maintenance or servicing

information that is important but not hazard

related.

Important Safety Instructions

Save These Instructions

1. Read all instructions before using the washer.

2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in

the INSTALLATION manual for the proper

grounding of the washer.

3. Do not wash articles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with

gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other

flammable or explosive substances as they give

off vapors that could ignite or explode.

4. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or

other flammable or explosive substances to the

wash water. These substances give off vapors that

could ignite or explode.

5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been

used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS

IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not

been used for such a period, before using a

washing machine or combination washer-dryer,

turn on all hot water faucets and let the water

flow from each for several minutes. This will

release any accumulated hydrogen gas. THE

GAS IS FLAMMABLE. DO NOT SMOKE OR

USE AN OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.

6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.

Close supervision of children is necessary when

the washer is used near children. This is a safety

rule for all appliances.

Indicates an imminently hazardous

situation that, if not avoided, will cause

severe personal injury or death.

DANGER

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not

avoided, could cause severe personal

injury or death.

WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not

avoided, may cause minor or moderate

personal injury or property damage.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,

serious injury or death to persons when

using your washer, follow these basic

precautions:

W023

WARNING

Safety Information

200712

7. Before the washer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the lid to the washing

compartment.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or

agitator is moving.

9. Do not install or store the washer where it will be

exposed to water and/or weather.

10. Do not tamper with the controls.

11. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer,

or attempt any servicing unless specifically

recommended in the user-maintenance

instructions or in published user-repair

instructions that you understand and have the

skills to carry out.

12. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO

NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to

connect the washer to the electrical power source.

13. Use your washer only for its intended purpose,

washing clothes.

14. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical

supply before attempting any service. Disconnect

the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

15. Install the washer according to the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All

connections for water, drain, electrical power and

grounding must comply with local codes and be

made by licensed personnel when required. Do

not do it yourself unless you know how!

16. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes which have

traces of any flammable substances such as

vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil,

flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything

containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and

cleaning cloths, must not be put into the washer.

These flammable substances may cause the

fabric to catch on fire by itself.

17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

18. Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or

dropping the washer can damage safety features.

If this occurs, have your washer checked by a

qualified service person.

19. If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by

a special cord or assembly available from the

manufacturer or its service agent.

20. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve

and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE

the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.

21. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the

washer is to agitate or spin. DO NOT by-pass the

loading door switch by permitting the washer to

agitate or spin with the loading door open. A

brake will stop the washtub within seconds if the

loading door is opened during spinning. If the

washtub does not stop when the loading door is

opened, remove the washer from use and call the

service person.

22. Always read and follow manufacturer’s

instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning

aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce

the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep

them out of the reach of children at all times

(preferably in a locked cabinet).

23. Always follow the fabric care instructions

supplied by the garment manufacturer.

24. Never operate the washer with any guards and/or

panels removed.

25. DO NOT operate the washer with missing or

broken parts.

26. DO NOT by-pass any safety devices.

27. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this

machine according to the manufacturer's

instructions may result in conditions which can

produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this

manual are not meant to cover all possible

conditions and situations that may occur. Common

sense, caution and care must be exercised when

installing, maintaining, or operating the washer.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent

or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions

you do not understand.

Use and Care

Before Washing

Prepare Wash Load

Empty Pockets and Cuffs

Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside

out. One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail or sharp

object in a load can catch laundry and cause tears.

Facial tissue left in a pocket will produce extreme

“lint”. A crayon or lipstick in a wash load may cause

stains that cannot be removed. Roll down cuffs and

shake out grass, sand, and gravel.

Mend Rips and Tears

Little holes can become bigger in the washer. Mend

holes and tears before placing garments in the washer.

Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks

These can catch on garments in a wash load and tear

them. Tie belts and sashes so they won’t wind around

clothes.

Remove Nonwashable Trim

Check for colorfastness by squeezing a portion of

garment in warm or hot sudsy water. If the color

bleeds or runs, wash the item separately in cold water.

Sort

Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few guidelines:

1. Sort by color.

Figure 1

2. Sort by fabric and construction.

Figure 2

3. Sort by care label.

Figure 3

4. Sort by type and amount of soil.

Children’s play clothes, as well as work clothes,

will need extra treatment. Lightly soiled clothes

can become dingy if washed with heavily soiled

items.

5. Sort Lint “Shedders”from Lint “Receivers”.

Some fabrics attract lint and should not be

washed with lint-shedding loads. Lint shedders

are cottons, terry towels, chenille bedspreads,

rugs, and clothes which have been heavily

bleached.

Lint receivers are synthetics, permanent or

durable press, knits (including socks), corduroy,

and other smooth fabrics.

Use and Care

Pretreat

Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pre-wash product

or liquid detergent when placing them in the washer.

Before washing, treat special stains with bar soap,

liquid detergent or a paste of water and granular

detergent. Use a pretreat soil and stain remover.

Load Articles

Load items by the amount of space they take up, not by

their weight. Mix large and small items in a load to get

the best washing results.

Drop items loosely into the washtub. The bulk of the

clothes rather than the weight will determine load size.

Do not pack items in or wrap them around the agitator.

Overloading can cause poor cleaning, excessive

wrinkling, and tears.

Figure 4

Items should move freely through the wash water for

best cleaning results. Items should rollover, sink and

then reappear.

When washing very large items, do not fill washtub as

full as with other loads.
