safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

"WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you

USING YOUR WASHER

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are dampened

with gasoline or other flammable fluids.

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on

it (including cooking oils).

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Electric Shock Hazard

Plug into an earthed socket outlet.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electric shock.

Sort and prepare your laundry

• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object

can pass under the agitator and become trapped, causing

unexpected sounds.

• Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature,

and colorfastness.

• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.

• Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.

• Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because

heat can set stains into fabric.

• Treat stains promptly.

• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and

remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

• Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items

during washing.

Helpful Tips:

= When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load

evenly.

• Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when washing

delicate or small items.

• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from

lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up

lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to

avoid damage to your garments.

Add detergent

Add a measured amount of detergent into the bottom of the

washer basket before adding clothes. If using an Oxi or

color-safe bleach laundry boost product, add to the bottom

of the washer basket, as well.

IMPORTANT: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to

determine the amount of detergent to use.

Load laundry into washer

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around basket wall.

For best results, do not pack the load tightly. Do not wrap large

items such as sheets around the agitator; load them in loose

piles around the sides of the basket. Try mixing different sized

items to reduce tangling.

IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack or force items into washer.

Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce

wrinkling and tangling.

Add liquid chlorine bleach

to dispenser

(on some models)

Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric

softener into dispenser, always follow

manufacturer's directions for correct amount

of fabric softener based on your load size.

Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser with warm

water until liquid reaches the underside of the rim. See max fill

line arrows. Then select Fabric Softener Added Yes option or

Fabric Softener Added with Extra Rinse option.

IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener Added option must be selected to

"Yes" to ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle.

For Models without fabric softener dispenser

In the final rinse only, add fabric softener that has been diluted

with 1/2 to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water.
