Important Safety Instructions accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time. WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when using your washer, follow basic safety precautions, including the following: d. Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with vegetable or cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself. 1.
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.
Operating Tips Additional Tips • During the spin, it is possible for the load to become unevenly distributed in the tub. If this happens, push in the control dial, open the lid, redistribute the load, close the lid and restart the washer. The spin will resume at the point it was interrupted. • The washer will pause briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal. • This washer is designed so that it will not agitate or spin when the lid is open.

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 (16° C). • 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.
Special Features If it is necessary to clean the dispenser: Liquid Bleach Dispenser 1. Pull the dispenser off of the top of the agitator. The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches your wash load. 2. Soak for one hour (in sink or container) in hot water and dishwashing liquid. To use, follow these steps: 1. Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully, following the instructions on the bottle. 2. Pour liquid chlorine bleach into bleach dispenser before adding the load.
Special Features Automatic Lint Filtering System The Lint Filtering System does not require cleaning. Wash and rinse water is filtered and re-filtered continuously to trap lint shed by most fabrics during the agitation cycle before it can be redeposited on the wash load. The engineered hole design on the wash basket, in conjunction with water flow produced by the agitator, traps lint away from the clothes between the inner wash basket and the outer tub.
