IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
AWARNING! of fire or explosion, electric" shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury,
or loss of life.
WATERHEATERSAFETY
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in awater heater that has not been used
for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning
on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance
which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any
built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or
appliance during this process.

This washer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the installation instructions
before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet, you can receive one by

fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates)
and whether the fabric produces lint (terry cloth,
chenille) or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy),
Proper Use of Detergent
Add detergent before adding items so that the
detergent can work effectively, Using too little or
too much detergent is a common cause of laundry
problems,
For spots, apply pre-treatment to items as
recommended on the product label, Application
should be made in the basket to prevent overspray
which may cause the coloring on the lid or graphics to
fade,
You can use less detergent if you have soft water,
a smaller load or a lightly soiled load,
When using high efficiency or concentrated
detergents, consult the product label to determine
amount required for optimum performance, Excessive
detergent will negatively impact wash performance,
Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely in the washer basket, For best
results, load items evenly and loosely around the
outside of the basket, To add items after washer has
started, lift the lid and submerge additional items
around the outside of the basket,

them around the outside of the basket,

(waxes, cleaning fluids, etc,),
• Washer will not agitate or spin with the lid up,
however the timer will continue to run,

Fill Hoses: GErecommends changing the hoses every 5
years,
Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills, Wipe with damp
cloth, Try not to hit surface with sharp objects,
