IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to

persons when using your appliance, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described

in this use and care guide.

3. Use only detergents or softeners recommended for use in a clothes

washer and keep them out of the reach of children.

4. This washer must be properly installed in accordance with the

installation instructions before it is used.

5. Never unplug your washer by pulling on the power cord. Always

grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

6. Replace immediately worn power cords, loose plugs/power outlets.

7. Unplug your washer before cleaning or before making any repairs.

8. If your old washer is not being used, we recommend that you

remove the door. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.

9. Do not operate your washer in the presence of explosive fumes.

10. Do not use washer to wash clothes soaked, spotted or washed in

gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or any other explosive or flammable

substances that could ignite and explode.

11. Clothes or rags used to clean flammable or explosive materials should

not be washed in the washer till all traces of this material has been

removed, to avoid an accident.

12. Do not add or mix any flammable or explosive substances to the wash.

13. Do not try to remove clothes while the tub or the agitator is moving. Let it

come to a complete stop before use.

14. Washer loading door must be closed when agitator and tub is spinning.

15. Do not operate your washer when parts are missing or parts are broken.

16. Do not use the washer for commercial clothes washing.

17. Do not operate washer unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

18. Do not tamper with controls.

19. To reduce risk of injury do not allow children to play in or on the washer.

20. Washer must be connected to proper electrical outlet with the correct

electrical supply.

21. Proper grounding must be ensured to reduce the risk of shock and fire.

English

DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PLUG. If you do not

have a three-prong electric receptacle outlet in the wall, have a certified

electrician install the proper receptacle. The wall receptacle MUST be

properly grounded.

22. Hydrogen gas may be produced if the water heater has not been used in

more then 2 weeks. This could be explosive and can explode under

certain circumstances. If this is the case, before using the washer turn on

all the hot faucets and let the hot water run for a few minutes. This will let

the trapped hydrogen escape. During this process do not turn on an

electric appliance, smoke, light a match/lighter or use a flame to avoid

an accident, as hydrogen gas is flammable and can explode.

Operations

Wash Cycle/Wash Time:

• Select the appropriate cycle based on the fabric type and select the

appropriate wash time based on the soil level. For your convenience, the

washer has REGULAR, DELICATE, HAND-WASHABLE, and

PERMANENT PRESS cycles.

Note: Turn the knob CLOCK WISE to your desired setting.

Once the cycle is selected, then PULL OUT the knob to START.

This will turn the washer "ON". To turn the washer off,

move the knob to any "OFF" position.

Soak Cycle: This is used for heavily soiled or stained clothes. Here the tub fills with

water than pauses to soak the clothes. The cycle is completed when

water is extracted by spinning of the drum. This cycle is approximately

16 minutes.

Regular Cycle: This is used for work & play, household linens and heavy to lightly

soiled cottons clothes. With regular wash speed, the agitator moves

faster. This cycle is approximately 15 minutes for heavy wash and 6

minutes for regular wash.

Delicate Cycle: This is used for special care fabric, lingerie with normal soil clothes

and delicate items. With delicate wash speed, the agitator moves

slower. This cycle is approximately 6 minutes for regular wash and

3 minutes for light wash.

Hand-Washable Cycle: This is used for lingerie, labeled "Hand-Washable" with

light soil clothes. With hand-washable wash speed, the

agitator moves very gently. This cycle is approximately 6

minutes.

Permanent Press Cycle: This cycle is used for knits, permanent press and

wrinkle-free clothes. With permanent press wash speed,

the agitator moves faster. This cycle is approximately

9 minutes for regular wash and 6 minutes for light wash.

Load Size/Water Level:

• Depending on the size of your load that you want to wash, you can

select the appropriate water level settings: Small, Medium or Large.

Load Size

Reset Mode:

• If you need additional water, turn the knob to the RESET position.

Hold it until you have the amount of water you need. Once done,

return to your original load size setting.

Warning: If you hold the RESET knob for an extended periods while the washer is

running then it will cause washer to overflow.

Loading the Washer:

• Load each item loosely.

• Separate the white and colored clothes. Separate heavy clothes from

light clothes.

• Carefully check all pockets and cuffs for small items.

They can easily slide in to the tub and may damage the tub.

• Pre-treat all stains and heavily soiled areas for best results.

• Do not overload your washer.

• When loading wet items, keep water level high enough so items

can float easily in the water.

• Avoid wrapping large items such as bed sheets around the agitator.

• Close the door properly after loading the clothes. If you keep the lid

up, the agitation will not start.

Proper Use of Detergent:

• It is good washing practice to add the detergent to the water

before you add the clothes so that the detergent can work

effectively on your clothes.

Note: You can use less or more detergent depending on the size of the

load, water type in your living area, whether it is soft or hard and

whether the clothes are heavily soiled or lightly soiled.

English

Fabric Softener Dispenser:

• The fabric softener dispenser is located on the top of the agitator.

Dispenser will automatically release liquid fabric softener

at proper time during rinse cycle.

Steps to use the dispenser:

1. Pour in liquid fabric softener into dispenser as recommended

by the manufacturer.

2. Add water up to its fill level, but do not exceed the level.

Warning: • Never pour fabric softener directly onto clothes because it will stain

your clothes or you may get spots on your clothes.

• Do not stop washer during its first spin or dispenser will automatically

release the softener in to the wash load.

• Do not use powder form of softener into dispenser otherwise it will

clog up the dispenser. This dispenser is only designed for liquid form.

Bleach Dispenser:

• Bleach dispenser is located on front corner under the lid.

• Pour in recommended amount of bleach into dispenser

during the first wash fill.

Note: Use only liquid bleach in dispenser. You can use powdered bleach by

directly adding it to wash tub.

Warning: • Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach on the washer cabinet or your

clothes. As it is a strong chemical, it may damage some of your clothes

or the finish of the washer if not properly diluted.

• Use the manufacturer’s chart, on product container for recommended

use of liquid or powder bleach.

ture setting. See the garment for proper temperature that is recommended by gar-

ment manufacturers. You can wash and rinse from five temperature combinations:
