What You Need to Know About Safety Instructions Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this guide are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining or operating appliance. Always contact the manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand Recognize Safety Symbols, Words, Labels WARNING - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death. Do not add gasofine, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Do not wash articles which have been previously Cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with: gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, oil, waxes, chemical solvents, alcohol, turpentine, or other flammable or explosive materials. These substances will be retained in articles, and articles which still contain these flammable or explosive substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Observe these precautions when using cleaning fluids, spot or stain removers, etc. These products should be labeled nonflammable; Use according to manufacturers directions in a well ventilated area or outdoors. Thoroughly rinse articles by hand before placing them in the washer. Some of these products - rust removers for example - will damage components and the finish of the washer. Keep area around and underneath washer free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags, gasoline, and all other flammable vapors and liquids. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE! Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washer, turn on all the hot water faucets and let the water flow from each faucet for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As this gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame d ufing this time. Recent studies have shown that if vegetable oil contaminated materials are incompletely washedl a carry-over and buildup of the oil may contribute to a chemical reaction (spontaneous combustion) that Could Cause a load tb catch fire by itself. This would be more likely to happen if the load were left in the dryer after tumbling stopped or if items were folded and stacked while Warm.

Important Safety Instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 3 Operating Tips 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 the wash water is above 60° F. • 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 • For best results add the detergent to the washtub before adding the load. • 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. • Close lid carefully to avoid slamming.
