IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury to persons

when using your washer, follow basic precautions, including the

Read all instructions before using your

washer.

Do not machine wash or machine dry

items cleaned, washed, soaked in, or

spotted with wax, paint, gasoline, oil, or

other flammable fluids. The fumes can

create a fire hazard or explosion. Always

hand wash and line dry items containing

these materials.

Flammable fluids (dry-cleaning solvents,

kerosene, gasoline, etc.) should not be

used or stored in or near your washer. Do

not add flammable fluids to your wash

water. These substances give off vapors

that can create a fire hazard or explosion.

Do not allow children to operate, play with,

or crawl on or inside your washer. Super-

vise children closely when your washer is

used near them.

Before your washer is removed from

service or discarded, remove the lid to

prevent accidental entrapment.

.After starting a cycle, do not reach into the

basket unless the Cycle Control Knob is

pushed in and all motion stops.

Do not tamper with the controls.

If your hot water has not been used

recently (usually 2 weeks or longer),

hydrogen gases may build up in your

water heater and your hot water pipes.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. To

prevent injury or damage, before using

your washer, turn on all hot water faucets

and allow water to run for several min-

utes. This will allow gases to escape. Do

not smoke or use any open flame near

your faucet while it is open.

Please ...

Have only a qualified repairman install,

repair, or replace parts on washer.

Maintain washer properly.

* Protect washer from the weather and

keep it where the temperature will not fall

below freezing.

Install and level washer on a floor that

can support the weight.*

Connect washer to the correct 3-prong

outlet, electrical supply, water supply, and

drain.*

Ground washer properly.*

‘See the Installation Instructions.

Understanding your responsibilities

Store detergent, laundry aids and other

materials in a cool, dry place where

children cannot reach them (in a locked

cabinet if possible).

Read and follow instructions on pack-

ages of detergent and laundry aids,

especially warnings and precautions.

Do not wash or dry items that are soiled

with vegetable or cooking oil. These

items may contain some oil after launder-

ing. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric

may smoke or catch fire by itself.

Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia

or acids (such as vinegar or rust re-

mover) in the same wash. Hazardous

fumes can form.

Unplug power supply cord before

attempting to service your washer.

g Do not machine wash fiberglass materi-

als. Small particles can stick to the

fabrics washed in following loads and

cause skin irritation.

important information to help you make selections for your wash loads.

Before starting your washer

Add measured detergent. Then place a sorted

NOTE:

If your washer has a Consumer Buy

load in the washer before starting. See page 14 Guide, remove it and place it in your Use and

for additional “Before you wash” information. Care Guide.

Starting or stopping your washer

Starting your washer:

1. 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.

2. Select a load size, water temperature,

agitation and spin speeds.

3. Pull out the Cycle Control Knob.

Stopping and restarting your washer:

To stop the washer at any time, push in the

Cycle Control Knob.

To restart the washer, close the lid (if neces-

sary) and pull out the Cycle Control Knob.

Selecting a load size

Position the Load Size Selector at the setting

that corresponds to the size load you want to

wash. Select a load size based upon the size

of the load and the fabric you are washing.

See page 14 for additional loading information.

To change the load size setting after the

washer has started to fill, move the Selector to

the desired new setting.

Your washer has a knob or slide Load Size

Selector

If your washer has a knob Load Size Selec-

tor, turn selector to the desired load size.

If your machine has a slide Load Size Selec-

tor, you may set the load size anywhere on or

between the ex small and ex large settings.

NOTE: If your washer has RESET on the Load

first moving the Selector to RESET, then to the

new load size.

Load size tips

Items should move freely in the washer. Do

not overload the machine or select a load size

Use a large load size setting for best results

with permanent press clothes.

Reduce wash time when using a small load

size setting. Loads with only a few small items

need less wash time.

fabric and soils being washed. The top tempera-

ture is the wash water and the bottom tempera-

ture is the rinse water. Your washer has a knob,

CLEAN TOUCH’” or push button Water Tem-

perature Selector.

Water temperature tips

Use warm wash water with the Permanent

Press and Delicate cycles. For heavily soiled

permanent press items, use hot wash water.

. Always use cold rinse water for permanent

press fabrics.

For heavily soiled permanent press or knit

clothes, pre-wash or presoak in warm water

before washing.
