1 FOR YOUR SAFETY 1

Do not store or use gas-

oline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the

vicinity of this or any

other appliance. The

fumes can create a fire

hazard or explosion.

ImportantSafetyInstructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or in-

jury to persons when using your Thin Twin, fol-

low basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before

using the Thin Twin.

NEVER wash or dry items cleaned,

washed, soaked in or spotted with

wax, paint, gasoline or flammable

fluids in the Thin Twin. The fumes

can create a FIRE HAZARD or EX-

PLOSION. ALWAYS hand launder

and air dry fabrics containing these

materials.

NEVER allow children to operate,

play with, or crawl inside the Thin

Twin. Close supervision of children is

necessary when the Thin Twin is

used near children.

When discarding an old Thin Twin,

ALWAYS remove the lid and door to

prevent accidental entrapment.

NEVER reach into the Thin Twin

until all the motion stops. If the lid is

opened while the washer basket is

spinning, the basket will automati-

caky stop in a few seconds.

DO NOT install or store Thin Twin

where it will be exposed to the

weather.

DO NOT tamper with the controls.

You are responsible for making

sure that your Thin Twin is

installed, repaired and parts

replaced by a qualified person.

NEVER use or store flammable

fluids (dry-cleaning solvents,

gasoline, kerosene) in or near your

Thin Twin. Do not add flammable

fluids to the wash water. These

substances give off vapors that

can create a FIRE HAZARD or

EXPLOSION.

Use only dryer fabric softeners

specifically labeled as not being

harmful to the dryer.

FIRE HAZARD and DAMAGE to

materials can result from:

- drying rubber, rubber-like and

heat sensitive materials with heat.

- allowing lint to build-up inside

the dryer or exhaust system -

cleaning should be done by a

qualified person.

Clean lint screen before or after

each load.

If hot water has not been used

recently (usually 2 weeks or longer),

hydrogen gases may build up in

the water heater and the hot water

pipes. HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. To prevent injury or

damage, before using your washer,

turn on all hot water faucets and al-

low water to run for several minutes.

This will allow gases to escape. DO

NOT smoke or use any open flame

near the faucet while it is open.

DO NOT let dust, paper, rags, lint,

chemicals, etc. pile up, around or

under the Thin Twin.

The Thin Twin must be electrically

grounded. See the Installation

Instructions.

Additional safetyinstructions

andyour responsibilities

ALWAYS shut off the gas valve

before leaving on vacation.

ALWAYS unplug the power supply

cord before attempting to service the

Thin Twin. Shut off GAS VALVE if

yours is a gas dryer.

DO NOT machine wash or dry glass

fiber materials. Small particles can

stick to fabrics laundered in following

loads and cause skin irritation.

HAZARDOUS FUMES can be

formed if chlorine bleach is used in

the same wash as ammonia or acids

such as vinegar or rust remover.

ALWAYS store detergent, laundry

aids and other materials in a cool, dry

place where children can’t reach them

- in a locked cabinet if possible.

ALWAYS read and follow instructions

on packages of detergent and laundry

aids - especially warnings and

precautions.

NEVER operate the Thin Twin if..

- it is not working right.

- it is damaged.

- parts are missing.

- all panels are not in place.

You are responsible for making

sure that your Thin Twin:

- is properly maintained.

- is properly installed and

leveled in a well ventilated room on

a floor that can support the weight.’

- is located in an area where the tem-

perature is above 45°F (7.2%)

because the dryer will not operate

properly at cold temperatures and

freezing temperatures can damage

the washer.

- is connected to the proper electrical

supply, outlet, water supply, plumb-

ing fixtures, drain and dryer

exhausting system.’

- is not installed against drapes or

curtains.*

- is used only for jobs normally

expected of home automatic

Thin Twins.

Loadsizesandwater levels

For best cleaning results, the load must

be able to move freely in the water. Too

big a load or too little water can cause

wear or tearing of load items.

WasherOperatingInstructions

The drawings in this book may vary slightly from your Thin Twin model. They are

designed to show the different features of all the models covered by this book.

NOTE: Your model may not include all the features shown.

Startingyourwasher

Be sure to measure and add detergent, then place a sorted load in the washer before

starting it.

1. Select a load size

Position the Load Size Selector at the

setting that describes the size of load

you want to wash.

The selector can be set anywhere on

or between EX SMALL (a few small

items) and EX LARGE (a full load).

To change the water level after the

washer has started to fill, turn the

selector to RESET then to the desired

water level.

NOTE: For best washing results, items

should move freely in the washer. Do

not overload the washer or choose a

water level that is too low for your wash

load.

For best results with permanent

press clothes, use the EX LARGE water

level.

Reduce wash time when using EX

SMALL or SMALL water level settings.

Loads with only a few small Items need

less wash time for best results.

2. Select water temperature

Match the water temperature to

the type of fabric and soils being

washed.

The top temperature is the wash

selection and the bottom tempera-

ture is the rinse selection.

NOTE: Use warm wash water with

the PERMANENT PRESS or KNITS

GENTLE Cycles.

For heavily soiled permanent press

or knit clothes, pre-wash or pre-soak

before washing in warm water.

ALWAYS use cold rinse water for

permanent press fabrics.

3. Select cycle and wash time

Start the washer

Push the Cycle Control Knob and turn

it to the right.

Stop on the number or indicator mark

in the wash cycle you want. These

indicate the minutes of wash time.

Start the washer by pulling out the

Cycle Control Knob. The washer will

fill to the selected water level with the

selected wash temperature. After fill-

ing, the washer will agitate for the se-

lected number of minutes.

To stop the washer at any time, push

in the Cycle Control Knob. To restart

the washer, pull out the Cycle Control

Knob.

Whathappensin eachcycle

Each cycle has different agitation and

spin speeds designed for different kinds

of fabrics.

Numbers on the dial in each cycle are

the minutes of wash agitation time.

When the Cycle Control Knob is set

to a number and pulled out, the washer

fills before agitation and timing starts.

After agitation starts, the knob turns

clockwise until it points to OFF and the

cycle ends.

Gentle Wash System

For better fabric care in the REGULAR

and PERMANENT PRESS Cycles, the

agitation speed is reduced during the

last few minutes of wash agitation time.

NOTE: You may hear the sound of

water spraying during the spin parts of

some cycles. In some cycles, water is

sprayed on the spinning load to help

with the rinsing.

The washer will pause briefly

throughout each cycle. These pauses

are normal. They allow for the reversing

of the motor, normal washer operation

and the cool-down portion of the

PERMANENT PRESS Cycle.
