,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 can result in a risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualified

electrician or serviceman 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 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.

These articles give off vapors that could

ignite or explode. Do not add these

items to the washload.

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, as the gas

is flammable .

Do not allow children to play on or

in the appliance. Close supervision

is necessary when the appliance is

used near children.

Before the appliance is removed

from 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."

Before using the washer, a program

must be run without laundry and without

detergent to flush out any residual

water from the factory testing process.

^Close the washer door.

^Press the "On/Off" button.

^Turn the program selector to

"COTTONS/very hot".

^Press the "Spin" button until the "high"

mark of the indicator lights.

^Press the "START" button.

Before usin the washer

1. Prepare and sort 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 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 (blood, egg, coffee, tea,

etc.) or badly soiled areas (collars and

cuffs) should be pretreated with a stain

remover or a paste made from

powdered detergent and warm water.

–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 undergarment underwires

should be removed or sewn in place

before washing.

–Woolens and knitted garments

should be turned inside out.

before washing.

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

are no clothes caught between the

drum door and the seal.
