BEFORE USING YOUR WASHER
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE THAT YOUR WASHER:
e |s installed by a qualified installer.
® |s properly maintained.
* |s properly installed and leveled on a floor that can support the weight*
* Is located in an area where the temperature will not fall below freezing.
* |s properly connected to the right water supply and drain*
e Is used only for its intended function.
® |5 not used where there may be explosive fumes.
* Is not used by children or anyone unable to operate it properly.
ALWAYS unplug the power supply cord or turn off electrical power before
attempting to service the washer.
DO NOT machine wash glass fiber materials. Small particles can stick to
fabrics washed in subsequent loads and cause skin irritation.
ALWAYS read and follow instructions on packages of detergent and laundry
aids — especially warnings and precautions.
"See the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for complete information.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to per-
sons when using your washer, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
1. Read all instructions carefully for important information before using your
appliance.
2. Your washer should be installed in an area protected from weather.
3. Your washer should be connected to the right kind of outlet, electrical supply
and grounding. See the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for complete
information.
4. NEVER wash articles in the washer that have been spotted, cleaned,
washed or soaked in gasoline, wax, paint, or other flammable fluids. The
fumes can create a FIRE HAZARD or EXPLOSION. NEVER add these
materials to your washer, and NEVER use them near your washer. ALWAYS
hand launder and air dry fabrics treated with flammable fluids.
5. NEVER allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision is
necessary when this or any appliance is used near children.
6. Before your washer is removed for service or is discarded, ALWAYS remove
the lid to prevent accidental entrapment.
7. DO NOT tamper with controls.
8. DO NOT reach into the washer if the agitator is moving or the basket is
spinning. If the lid is opened while the basket is spinning, the basket will
automatically stop in a few seconds.
9. WARNING: If hot water system has not been used for a period of
2 weeks or more, hydrogen gas may build up in water heater and
hot water pipes. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water
system has not been used for such a time period, turn on all hot
water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes
before using the washer. This will allow gases to escape. DO NOT
smoke or use an open flame during this procedure.
10. DO NOT install or perform any servicing unless you are qualified. Improper
installation, repair, or servicing may result in personal INJURY or FIRE
HAZARD. |

Liquid Bleach Dispenser
Always measure bleach. Do not
guess. Never use more than 1 cup
(250 mL) for a full load. Use less
with lower water level settings.
Follow directions on bottle for safe
use. Use a cup with a pouring spout
to avoid spilling.
—
1. Load the washer first.
2. Pour measured bleach carefully
into dispenser. DO NOT let bleach
splash, drip or run down into the
washer basket.
Undiluted bleach will damage
any fabric it touches.
3. Start the washer. Bleach will be
diluted automatically during the
wash part of the cycle.
For more information on
bleaching, see page 11 in your
WASHER GUIDE.
16
Liquid Fabric Softener
Dispenser
1. Add detergent and load to basket.
2. Add liquid fabric softener to the
dispenser using the amount rec-
ommended on the bottle. (Avoid
dripping or spilling any fabric
softener on the load.)
3. IMPORTANT: Add enough hot
water to fill the dispenser to
the FULL mark.
4. Diluted fabric softener will be
added to the load when the
washer stops spinning after the
wash cycle. NOTE: Do not stop
the washer during this spin. If you
do, the fabric softener will be
added to the remaining soapy
wash water. This can cause stains.
5. Clean dispenser after each use
with warm water. Do not put
detergent in dispenser, it could
cause dispenser to clog. To re-
move the dispenser, pull up on the
top portion of the agitator. Replace
after cleaning.
For more information on fabric
softener, see page 12 in your
WASHER GUIDE.
SELF-CLEAN Lint Filter
As load items are being washed,
lint particles from the wash water
automatically collect on the SELF-
CLEAN lint filter. This filter cleans
itself. As the washer drains, collected
lint is carried away with the wash
and rinse water.
If your washer drains into a tub,
remove any lint collected in the drain
or strainer.
CARING FOR
YOUR WASHER
The Console Light
The fluorescent console light is
under the console top. The Console
Light switch is on the bottom right
side of the console. To turn on the
light, push in the switch and hold it for
one or two seconds. Push the switch
again to turn the light off.
Replacing the Console Light
WARNING: To avoid possible
shock hazard, unplug the
washer or turn off electric
power at the main power supply.
N
1. Flip up the console top by grasp-
Ing it with both hands near each
end and lifting the front edge up.
2. Remove lamp socket safety cover
at each end of the fluorescent tube.
3. Grasp the fluorescent tube at both
ends. Turn the tube away from you
until both ends come out of the re-
ceptacles. Replace with a 15-watt
cool-white (#F15T8) fluorescent
tube.
4. Replace lamp socket safety cov-
ers, and close the console top.
5. Plug in washer or turn electric
power back on at main power
supply.
Washer Care
WHEN NOT WASHING, keep both
water faucets turned off. This takes
the pressure off the water inlet valve
and hoses.
REMOVE SHARP OBJECTS such
as pins, buckles, etc., from clothes
before washing. Close metal zippers.
NEVER USE THE WASHER TO:
e Store wet or dry laundry.
¢ Soak for more than 2 hours.
® Soak with chlorine bleach.
e Soak with vinegar or other
acids.
e Soak or store urine soaked
clothes.
Any of the above uses may
result in damage to clothing or
the porcelain tub.

AFTER WASHING, use a soft dry
cloth to wipe the outside and inside
dry. Leave the lid up until the basket
is dry. Wipe up spills right away.
Spills can dull or damage the finish.
SHARP OR HEAVY OBJECTS
