6. Toavoidthepossibilityoffireorexplo-
sion:
a, Do not wash items that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, other flam-
mable or explosive substances as
they give off vapors that could ignite
or explode. Hand wash and line dry
any items containing these sub-
stances.
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 Iiq-
uids or solids and their fumes have
been removed.
These items include acetone,dena-
tured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene,
some liquid household cleaners,
some spot removers, turpentine,
waxesand wax removers.
b,
C,
Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances to the wash
water. These substances give off
vapors that could igniteor explode.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen
gas may be produced in a hotwater
systemthat has not been used for 2
weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS
IS EXPLOSIVE. Ifthe hotwater sys-
tem has not been used for such a
period, before using a washing
machine or combination washer-
dryer, turn on all hot water faucets
and let the water flow from each for
several minutes. This will release
any accumulated hydrogengas. As
the gas is flammable,do not smoke
or use an open flame during this
time.
7. Do not reach into the appliance if the
tub or agitator ismoving.
8. Do not allowchildrenor petsto playon,
in, or in front of the appliance. Close
supervisionisnecessarywhentheappli-
ance isusednear childrenand pets.
9. Do nottamper with controls.
10. Do not repair or replaceany part ofthe
appliance or attempt any servicing
unless specifically recommended in
published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
11. Unplug power supply cord before
attemptingto serviceyour washer.
12. The agitator should not be removed. If
the agitator is removed, it must be
replaced by pushing down completely
13.
and the locking screw tightened before
thewasher is operated.
Store laundryaidsand other material in
a cool, dry placewhere childrencannot
reachthem.
14. Donot wash or dry itemsthat are soiled
with vegetable or cooking oil. These
items may contain some oil after laun-
dering.Duetothe remainingoil, thefab-
ric may smokeor catchfire by itself.
15. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammo-
nia or acids (such as vinegar or rust
remover) in the same wash. Hazardous
fumescan form.
16.
17.
18.
Do notmachinewash fiberglassmateri-
als. Small particles can stick to fabrics
washed in following loads and cause
skin irritation.
Before the appliance is removed from
service or discarded, remove the door
to thewashing compartment.
Inlet hoses are subject to damage and
deterioration over time. Check the

The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid
chlorine bleach beforeit reachesyour wash
load.Touse,follow these steps:
1. Measure liquid chlorine bleachcarefully,
followingthe instructionson the bottle.
2. Add the bleach to the dispenser before
adding theload.Avoidsplashing or over-
filling thedispenser.Wipe up spills.
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine
bleachdirectlyonto theload or intothe
wash tub. It isa powerfulchemicaland
can cause fabric damage, such as
tearing or color loss, if not used prop-
erly.
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.
This dispenserautomatically releasesliquid
fabric softenerat the proper time during the
cycle.Touse, follow these steps:
1. Pour liquid fabric softener into the dis-
penserusing the amount recommended
on the package.
2. Add warm water to the dispenser until it
reaches the MAX line.Wipe up spills.
Donot stop thewasher during thefirst
spin. This will cause the dispenser to
emptytoo soon.
Never pour fabric softener directly on
the load. Itwill leavespots and stains.
Use the dispenserfor liquid fabric sof-
teners only. Clean the area in and
around the dispenser frequently with
hotwater, detergentand a soft brush.
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 6G°F.
Use the correct amount of detergent for
the load size,soil level and water condi-
tions. Use more detergent if you have
hard water and/or very soiled loads.
If you havesoft water or a lightly soiled
load, use less detergent.(See manufac-
turer's instructions.)
Wipe up any detergent spills on the
washer.
S
Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the
tub, up to thetop rowof holesfor a max-
imum load.
Do not wrap large items like sheets
around the agitator.
Mix large and small items for best circu-
lation. 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 set-
ting. This will minimize shrinkage, wrin-
kling and pulling of seams.
For best results, add the detergent to
washtub beforeadding the load.
Close lid carefully to avoidslamming.
