,WARNING - To reduce the risk of

fire, electric shock or injury to

persons while using your appliance

follow basic safety precautions,

including the following:

~Read all instructions before using

the appliance.

~GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In

the event of malfunction or breakdown,

grounding will reduce the risk of

electric shock by providing a path of

least resistance for electric current. This

appliance is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-grounding

conductor and a grounding plug. The

plug must be plugged into an

appropriate outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

~WARNING - Improper connection of

the equipment-grounding conductor

may result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician if you

are in doubt as to whether the

appliance is properly grounded.

~Do not modify the plug provided

with the appliance - if it will not fit the

outlet, have a proper outlet installed by

a qualified electrician.

~Do not allow children to play on or in

the appliance. Close supervision is

necessary when the appliance is used

near children.

~Do not wash articles that have been

previously cleaned, washed, soaked or

spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning

solvents or other flammable

substances. These articles give off

vapors that could ignite or explode. Do

not add these items to the wash load.

~Under certain conditions, hydrogen

gas may be produced in a hot water

system that has not been used for 2

weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has

not been used for such a period, turn

on all hot water faucets and let the

water flow from each for several

minutes before using the washing

machine. This will release any built-up

hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an

open flame during this time, the gas is

flammable.

~Before the appliance is removed for

service or discarded, remove the door.

~Do not reach into the appliance if

the drum is moving.

~Do not install or store this appliance

where it will be exposed to the weather.

~Do not tamper with

the controls.

~Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance or attempt any servicing

unless specifically recommended in

these operating instructions.

Guide to the washer

The appliance must be correctly

installed and connected before the

first use. Please see the "Installation

instructions".

This washing machine has

undergone thorough functional

testing in the factory, there may be

some residual water in the drum

from this process.

For safety reasons, it is not possible to

run a spin cycle before the first use. A

program must be run without laundry

and detergent to flush out any residual

water from the factory testing process,

as well as to activate the spin cycle.

^Turn on the water valve.

^Press the "On / Off" button.

^Select the "Extra White" program with

the program buttons.

^Press the "Start / Stop" button.

Once the program ends, the washer

can be used for laundry.

Before using for the first time

1. Prepare and sort the laundry

^Empty all pockets.

,Foreign objects left in pockets

(e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.)

can cause damage to clothes and

the machine.

^Sort the laundry.

Only wash items in the machine that are

labeled machine washable by the

manufacturer. Most garments have a

fabric care label in the collar or side

seam. Sort the laundry by care label

and color.

^Pretreat stains.

Tough stains (e.g. blood, egg, coffee,

tea, etc.) or badly soiled areas (e.g.

collars and cuffs) should be penetrated

with a stain remover or a paste made

from powdered detergent and warm

water.

,Do not use chemical solvents in

the machine.

General tips

– Dark fabrics often bleed the first few

times they are washed. They should

be washed separately several times

before being included in a mixed

load.

– Remove any lead weights or strips

from curtains before washing.

– Loose underwires should be

removed or sewn in place before

washing.

– Woolens and knitted garments

should be turned inside out.

– Close zippers and hooks and eyes

before washing.

– Comforter covers and pillowcases

should be fastened in order to

prevent small items from rolling

inside of them.

Do not machine wash items if it is not

recommended on the fabric care label.

Using the washer

2. Load the laundry

^Turn on the washer using the

"On / Off" button.

^Open the drum door using the "Door"

button.

^Load the laundry into the drum. For

best results, wash mixed loads of

small and large items. This will

improve washing effectiveness and

help distribute the load evenly.

Note: Overloading the washer will

cause poor wash results and wrinkling.

^Close the drum door.

To prevent damage to the door seal

and clothing, make sure that there is

nothing caught between the drum

door and the seal.

3. Select a program
