Additional Safety Insfrucfions and Your Responsibilities

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 laun-

dry aids - especially warnings and

precautions.

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 unplug the power supply

cord before attempting to service the

washer.

DO NOT machine wash glass fiber

materials. Small particles can stick to

fabrics washed in following loads

and cause skin irritation.

You are personally responsible for

making sure that your washer:

is used only for jobs normally ex-

pected of home automatic washers.

is not run by children or anyone un-

able to operate it properly. 3

Operating instructions

Starting Your Washer

Be sure to measure and add detergent, then place

a sorted load in the washer before starting it.

I. Select a LOAD SIZE

Select

. WATER TEMPERATURES

Turn the knob to point at a setting that

describes the size of load you want to

wash.

Set the knob anywhere on or between

EX SMALL (a few items) and LARGE (a

full load).

NOTE: Use the LARGE water level for

best permanent press results.

Match the wash and rinse water

temperature to the type of fabrics and

soils being washed.

All rinses are cold. Cold rinses save

energy and help prevent wrinkles

from

setting into fabrics.

Recommended wash temperatures

can be found in vour “Laundrv Guide.”

LOAD SIZES AND WATER 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. 0
