READ ALL
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
WARNING!
For
your safety,
the information
in
this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion,
electric
shock,
or to
prevent property damage, personal injury,
or loss of life.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
?
Read all instructions before
using
the washer.
?
Do not wash articles that have been
previously
cleaned
in,
washed
in,
soaked
in,
or
spotted
with
gasoline, dry cleaning
solvents,
or other
flammable or
explosive
substances,
as
they give
off
vapors
that could
ignite
or
explode.
?
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 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water
system
has not been
used for such a
period,
before
using
the
washing
machine,
turn on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several minutes. This will
release
any
accumulated
hydrogen gas.
As the
gas
is
flammable,
do not smoke or use an
open
flame
during
this time.
?
Do not allow children to
play
on or in the washer.
Close
supervision
of children is
necessary
when
the washer is used near children.
?
Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded,
remove the door to
prevent
children
from
hiding
inside.
?

the washer door.
■
Washer dimensions
?
Most installations
require
a minimum 4 in.
(10 cm)
clearance behind the washer.
■
Minimum installation
spacing
for
recessed area installation.
The
following
dimensions shown are for the minimum
spacing
allowed.
Additional
spacing
should be considered for

Level
adjustment
?
Leveling
the
washing
machine
properly prevents
excessive noise and vibration.
Install the
appliance
on a solid and level floor
surface,
preferably
in a corner of the room.
?
If the floor is
uneven,
adjust
the
adjustable
feet as
required. (Do
not insert
pieces
of
wood,
etc. under the
feet.)
NOTE: Extend the feet no more than
necessary
to level
the washer. The more the feet are
extended,
the
more the washer will vibrate.
?
Make sure that all four feet are stable and
resting
on
the floor and then check that the
appliance
is
perfectly
level
(Use
a
level).
?
After the washer is
level,
tighten
the lock nuts
up
against
of the base of the washer. All lock nuts must
be
tightened.
?
It is critical to
adjust
the feet
perfectly.
This must be
done while the washer is
spinning
with a load. Use the
wrench
(supplied)
to
adjust
the feet until there is no
vibration. Then
tighten
the lock nuts to
prevent
further
adjustment.
NOTE: If there are vibration and noise
during
the
spin
cycle,
re-check the
leveling
of the
washer,
adjust
the feet as
required,
and
tighten
the lock nuts
securely
to
prevent changes
in
adjustment.
Run the washer with a test load to make certain
your
washer is
properly
leveled. Put
approximately
6
pounds
of
laundry
in the
machine.
Then,
press
POWER, RINSE+SPIN,
and
START/PAUSE,
in that order. When the machine
spins
at
high speed, verify
that it is stable. If
not,
adjust
the feet
accordingly.

PREPARATION BEFORE WASHING
10
1.
Fabric Care Labels
Look for a care label on
your
clothes. This will tell
you
about the fabric content of
your garment
and how it should
be washed.
2.
Sorting
To
get
the best
results,
sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash
cycle.
Different fabrics need to be washed in different
ways.
Always
sort dark colors from
pale
colors and whites. Wash
separately
as
dye
and lint transfer can occur
causing
discoloration of white
clothing.
If
possible,
do not wash
heavily
soiled items with
lightly
soiled ones.
Soil
(Heavy,
Normal,
Light) Separate
clothes
according
to amount of soil.
Color
(White,
Lights,
Darks)
Separate
white fabrics from colored fabrics.
Lint
(Lint Producers, Collectors)
Wash lint
producers
and lint collectors
separately.
3. Check before
loading
Combine
large
and small items in a load. Load
large
items first.
Large
items should not be more than half the total wash load.
Do not wash
single
items. This
may
cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.
Single bulky
items,
such as
blanket, comforter,
or
bedspread
can be washed
separately.
?
Check all the
pockets
to make sure that
they
are
empty. Things
such as
clip,
matches,
pens,
coins,
and
keys
can
damage
both
your
washer
and
your
clothes.
?
Close
zippers,
hooks,
and
strings
to make sure
that these items do not
snag
on other clothes.
?
Pretreat dirt and stains
by brushing
a little
detergent
dissolved in water onto stains like
collars and cuffs to
help
lift dirt.
