Safety Information Safety Information Explanation of Safety Messages WARNING Precautionary statements (“DANGER,” “WARNING,” and “CAUTION”), followed by specific instructions, are found in this manual and on machine decals. These precautions are intended for the personal safety of the operator, user, servicer, and those maintaining the machine.
Safety Information • Never operate the washer with any guards, panels and/or parts removed or broken. DO NOT tamper with the controls or bypass any safety devices. Use your washer only for its intended purpose, washing clothes. Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer. Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids.
Operation Operation Before Washing Prepare Wash Load Empty Pockets and Cuffs Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside out. One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail or sharp object in a load can catch laundry, cause tears and plug the pump. Facial tissue left in a pocket will produce extreme “lint”. A crayon or lipstick in a wash load may cause stains that cannot be removed. Roll down cuffs and shake out grass, sand and gravel.
Operation • Drop items loosely into the washtub. The bulk of the clothes rather than the weight will determine load size. Do not pack items in or wrap them around the agitator. Overloading can cause poor cleaning, excessive wrinkling and tears.

If you notice that your clothes are not as bright as they should be, take corrective measures immediately. Cause Insufficient Detergent Solution Add more detergent to washtub before loading clothes. Mild detergents are not suitable for average soil.
