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 aFIRE HAZARD or EX-

PLOSlON. 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-

cally 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 has 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 tothe dryer.

•FIRE HAZARD and DAMAGE to

materials can resultfrom:

-drying rubber, rubber-like and

heat sensitive materials with heat.

-allowing lintto 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. Toprevent injury or

damage, before using your washer,

turn on all hot water faucets and al-

low water to run for several minutes.

This willallow gases to escape. DO

NOT smoke or use any open flame

near the faucet while it isopen.

•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

WasherOperatingInstructions

The drawings in this book may vary slightly from your washer 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

• Turn the knob to point at asetting that

describes the size of load you want

to wash.

• Set the knob on EX SMALL (a few

small items), MEDIUM or LARGE

(a full load).

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 LARGE water

level. Reduce wash time when using EX

SMALL or SMALL water level settings.

2. Select water temperature

•Match the water temperature to the

type of fabric and soils being washed.

• The top temperature isthe wash

selection and the bottom temperature

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 in the Cycle Control Knob and

turn it clockwise.

• Stop when the indicator on the knob's

outer ring points to the number in the

wash cycle you want. The numbers

are 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 water temperature.

After filling, the washer will agitate for

the selected number of minutes.

• Tostop the washer at any time,

push in the Cycle Control Knob. To

restart the washer, pull out the

Cycle Control Knob.

Whathappensineachcycle

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 Contro_ 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.

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.

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.

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.
