grounding this appliance.
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
explosive 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

gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household
cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes
and wax removers.
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.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been

accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
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.
Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator
is moving.
Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front
of the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when
the appliance is used near children and pets.

Operutin9Tips
Detergent
• Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent. For
best results, he sure detergent is added to the
washer BEFORE the load and he sure the 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 the washtub
before adding the load.
• Close lid carefully to avoid slamming.
Additional tips
• If the washer stops during the spin, it may be due to
an unevenly distributed load. If this happens, push in
the control knob, open the lid, redistribute the load,
close the lid and pull out the control knob. 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. It will, however, fill with the
lid open so water is available for pretreating stains or
diluting fabric softener.
• If you open the lid during a cycle, the washer will
stop. When the lid is closed and the control knob
pulled out, the washer will continue the cycle at the
point it was interrupted.

Pull Control Dial Out to Start
You may stop the washer at any time by simply
pushing the control dial IN. Therefore it is possible to
obtain a non-agitated soak or to shorten, skip or
repeat any part of a cycle. The control dial must be
pushed IN (off position) when you change the setting.
SpecialFeatures
Bleach Dispenser
The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine
bleach before it reaches your wash load. To use, follow
these steps:
1. 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.
Fabric Softener Dispenser
The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric
softener at the proper time during the cycle. To use,
follow these steps:
1. Pour a measured amount of fabric softener into
the dispenser to fill line only.
2. If fabric softener comes below line, add warm
water.
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.
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.
Pour liquid chlorine bleach into
bleach dispenser.
Pour liquid fabric softener into cup and
dilute with warm water.
Care&Cleanin9
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:
Oontrol Panel - clean with a soft, damp cloth and
glass cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders or
cleaning pads.
Cabinet - clean with soap and water followed with an
appliance wax, if desired.
Fabric Softener Dispenser
1. Pull the dispenser off of the top of the agitator.
2. Soak for one hour in sink or container in hot
water and dishwashing liquid.
3. Hold hands over top and bottom of dispenser
and shake to loosen buildup.
4. Rinse with clean, hot water.
5. Repeat process if necessary.
6. Replace dispenser on
agitator.
Do not use dishwashing liquid
inside the washer. Oversudsing
can Occur.
Lint Filter - it is self-
cleaning and requires
no maintenance. The
filter is located under
the agitator on the
bottom of the
washtub. During the
wash and rinse portion
of the cycle, lint is collected on the filter. Then
during the spin and drain the filter is cleaned
automatically.
Interior - hard water deposits may be removed, if
needed, using a recommended cleaner labeled
washer safe.
The interior of the washer should be cleaned
periodically to remove dirt, soil, odor or bacteria
residue that may remain in the washer as a result of
washing clothes. We recommend taking the following
steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your
washer interior. The frequency with which the washer
should be cleaned and freshened depends on factors
such as usage, the amount of dirt, soil or bacteria
being run through your washer, or the use of cold
water.
To clean and freshen the washer interior:
1. Add a measured amount of chlorine bleach to
the bleach dispenser, following package
directions.
2. Add 1/4 cup of detergent to the tub.
3. Run the washer through a complete cycle using
hot water.
/4. Repeat the process if necessary.
Storin9thekVusher
Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from
hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare
the washer for storage as follows:
• Select Regular, eight minutes, and add one cup of
chlorine bleach OR white vinegar to a full load of
water without clothes. Run the washer through a
complete cycle.
Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet
hoses.
Advance the cycle control knob to Spin and lower
the drain hose to eliminate any water that may be in
the drain hose.
Disconnect the washer from the electrical supply
and leave the washer lid open to let air circulate
inside the tub.

Distributeur de javellisant
liquide

avant qu'il atteigne le linge. Pour I'utiliser, proc6der comme
suit :
1. Mesurer la quantit6 de javellisant liquide avec soin en
suivant les instructions sur le r6cipient.
2. Verser le javellisant dans le distributeur avant d'ajouter
le linge, l_viter les 6claboussures ou le d6bordement du
distributeur.
Distributeur d'assouplissant
Ce distributeur ajoute I'assouplissant liquide au moment
voulu du cycle. Pour I'utiliser, proc6der comme suit :
1. Verser la quantit6 voulue de liquid dans le godet,
jusqu'au rep6re de remplissage seulement.
2. Si le liquide n'atteint pas le rep6re, ajouter de I'eau ti6de.

directement sur le linge ou dans la cuve. Ce produit
chimique est puissant et peut endommager les tissus,
en les d6chirant ou d6colorant, s'il n'est utilis6
correctement.
Lorsqu'un javellisant sans chlore et sans danger pour
les couleurs est utilis6, le verser dans la cuve avec le
d_tergent. Ne pas verser de javellisant sans chlore dans
le distributeur de javellisant.
Remarque
Ne pas arr6ter la machine durant le premier essorage.
