5. This appliance must be properly
grounded. Never plug the appliance
cord into a receptacle which is not
grounded adequately and in accor-
dance with local and national codes.
See installationinstructionsfor ground-
ing this appliance.
6. Toavoid the possibility of fire or explo-
sion:
a. Do not wash items that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, other flamma-
ble or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.Handwash and line dry any
itemscontaining 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
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.
d. Keep area around and underneath
washerfreefrom theaccumulationof
combustible materials, such as lint,
paper, rags, gasoline, and all other
flammablevaporsand liquids.

thewasher is operated.
13. 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.

LIQUIDDISPENSER
The dispenser may be used for fabric sof-
tener with most cycles or liquid detergent
with the Pretreat cycle.The liquid dispenser
should be cleaned before and after each
½
':" use of liquid detergent.The dispenser auto-
" maticalIy releases the liquid at the proper
time during the cycle. To use, follow these
steps:
1. Pour a measured amount of desired Iiq-

penser. 2. If liquid comes below line, add warm
CHLORINEBLEACHDISPENSERDETERGENT water.
The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid
chlorine bleach beforeit reachesyour wash
load.Touse,follow these steps:
1. Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully,
following the instructionson the bottle.
2. Add the bleach to the dispenser before
adding the load.Avoid splashingor over-
filling the dispenser.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.
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 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.
PRETREATCYCLE
The Pretreat Cycle offers the ability to
wash the clothes twice with fresh deter-
gent in each wash.When laundry isfirst
addedtothe tubtousethe pretreatcycle,
granular or liquid detergent is placed in
the tub. In order for there to be fresh
detergentfor thesecondwash,only liquid

LOADING
•Put dry, unfoldedclothesloosely in the •
tub, up to the top row of holesfor a
maximum load.
• Do not wrap large items like sheets
around the agitator.
• Mix large and small items for best circu- .
Iation. 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.
After washing,leavethe lid open until the
interior is dry.
Check hoses to be sure there are no
kinksor knots.
Yourwashershouldnotbe installedwhere
temperatures will go below freezing, as
damageto thewashercouldresult.
Occasionallywipe exterior with a clean
dampspongeor cloth.Polishwitha softdry
cloth.Ifdesired,occasionallypolish,being
carefulnottousepolishon plasticparts.
Lifetimelubrication isdone atthe factory,
so your washer never needs to be oiled •
or greased. •
Do not layheavy or sharp objectson top
of yourwasher.
The top of the washer should not be
usedfor removing stainsfrom garments.
Some stain removers, such as rust
remover,will marthe finish.
Remove pins, buckles or other sharp
objects from clothes to prevent scratch-
ing interior parts.
Clothesshould not be stored in washer.
Bleach, detergent, solvents, etc. spilled
on the top of your washer that are
allowedto remainwill removethe glossy
finish. Removeall spills with a damp,soft
cloth.
If you close your home for the winter,
have a service technician drain the
washer. Unplug cord from electrical out-
let and disconnect hoses from faucets.
ADDITIOHALTIPS
• The washer will pause briefly throughout
each cycle.These pauses are normal.
• This washer is designedso that itwill not
spinwhen the lid isopen. It will, however,
fill and agitate with the lid open so water
is availablefor pretreating stains or dilut-
ing fabric softener.
If youopen the lid during a spin cycle, the
washer will stop. When the lid is closed
and the control dial pulled out, the wash-
er will continue the cycle at the point it
was interrupted.

AUTOMATICIIHT
FIITEfllHGSYSTEM
The Lint Filtering System does not
requirecleaning.
Wash and rinse water is filtered and re-fil-
tered continuouslyto trap lint shed by most
fabrics during the agitation cycle before it
can be re-deposited on the wash load.The
engineered hole designon the wash basket
in conjunction with water flow produced by
theagitator, traps lintaway from the clothes
between the inner wash basket and the
outer tub. Lint is automatically flushed from
thewasher during the spin cycle.
SAFETYSPIH
If for any reason you open the washer lid
whenthe washer is in a spin or extract peri-
od, theoperationwill immediatelystop.This
is for your personal safety. If your washer
does not stop, call your service technician
immediately. When the lid is closed, the
operationwill automaticallyresume.
UHBALACEDSPIHLOAD
COMPEHSATOR
Yournew washer is designedto handle out-
of-balance loads without shutting down or
interrupting thewashing cycle.
For this reason, the cycle will always be
completed. If heavierfabrics in such out-of-
balanceloadsshouldevercontainexcessive
moisture at the completion of the cycle,
redistribute the clothes in the washer and
resetthe controldial forthefinal spinperiod.
OVERLOADPROTECTOR
A built-in protector automatically shuts off
the washer motor in case of an overload.
This can occur if:
•The load being washed istoo heavy.
• Toomany appliances are plugged into
the line operatingyour washer.
• A low voltage condition exists on the
line.
• Lid is opened and closed repeatedly.
The overload protector permits the washer
to start againwhen the motor hascooledto
a safe operating temperature.
If the motorstops repeatedly,call yourserv-
icetechnician.
For problem laundry solutions (i.e. fabric damage, residue, tangling) and special laundry care procedures,see the enclosed
