6.
To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion: a.
Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or exp!osive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Hand wash and line dry any items containing these substances.
Any material on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in the washer until all traces of these liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.
These items include acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
b. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
c+ Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water system has not
.
° been used for such a period, before using a washing machine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and !et the water flow from each for several minutes.

Step 0 Start Washer
• Add detergent.
• Add load and close lid.
• Pull the control dial out to start.
Operat ing
Chlorine Bleach Dispenser
The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches your wash load. To use, follow these steps:
I. Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully, following the instructions on the bottle.
2. Add the bleach to the dispenser before adding the load. Avoid splashing or over-filling the dispenser.
NOTE:
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the wash tub. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as tearing or color loss, if not used properly.
If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine bleach, pour it into the wash tub with your detergent.
Do not pour non-chlorine bleaches into the bleach dispenser.
Fabric Softener Dispenser
This dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the cycle. To use, follow these steps:
I. Pour liquid fabric softener into the dispenser using the amount recommended on the package.
2. Add warm water to the dispenser until it reaches the
MAX line.
NOTE:
Do not stop the washer during the first spin. This will cause the dispenser to empty too soon.
Never pour fabric softener directly on the load. It will leave spots and stains.
Use the dispenser for liquid fabric softeners only.
Clean the area in and around the dispenser frequently with hot water, detergent and a soft brush.
Pour liquid chlorine bleach into bleach dispenser.
Pour liquid fabric softener into cup and dilute with warm water.

For detailed information on sorting, pretreating stains, etc., see the enclosed Laundry Tips pamphlet.
Detergent
Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent.
For best results, be sure detergent is added to the washer BEFORE the load and be sure wash water is above 65 ° E
Use the correct amount of detergent for the load size, soil level and water conditions.
Use more detergent if you have hard water and very soiled loads.
If you have soft water or a lightly soiled load, use less detergent.
(See manufacturer's instructions.)
Wipe up any detergent spills on the washer.
Loading
Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to the top row of holes for a maximum load.
Do not wrap large items like sheets around the agitator.
Mix large and small items for best circulation.
Wash bulky items like blankets separately.
When laundering wrinkle free items or items of delicate construction, washable woolens or loosely knit items, never use less than the MEDIUM water level setting.
This will minimize shrinkage, wrinkling and pulling of seams.
For best results, add the detergent to washtub before adding the load.
5
Care and Cleaning
....................................
Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day's washing.
This will shut off the water supply to the washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from escaping water.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other spills as they occur.
...........
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel - clean with a soft, damp cloth and glass cleaner.
Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads.
Cabinet - clean with soap and water.
Interior hard water deposits may be removed, if needed, using a recommended cleaner labeled washer safe.
