Important Safety Instructions Contents
PageNo.
Reduce risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury when using your
washer, by following basic precautions, including the following:
. Read all instructions before using
your washer.
. Do Not wash items cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, paint, wax or other
flammable or explosive substances
in the washer. The fumes can
create a fire or explosion. Always
hand-wash and air-dry fabrics
containing these materials.
I Do Not allow children to play on or
inside the washer. Close
supervision of children is
necessary when the washer is used
near them.
. Before the washer is removed from
service or discarded, remove the lid
to prevent accidental entrapment.
. Do Not reach into the washer until
all motion stops. If the lid is
opened while the basket is
spinning, the basket will
automatically stop in a few
seconds.
. Do Not install or store washer
where it will be exposed to the
weather.
n Do Not tamper with controls.
mYou are responsible for making
sure that your washer is installed,
repaired and parts replaced by a
qualified person.
l Do Not add gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents or other flammable or
explosive substances to the wash
water. The substances give off
vapors that could ignite or explode.
. If hot water has not been used
recently (usually 2 weeks or
longer), hydrogen gases may build
up in the water heater and the hot
water pipes. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. To prevent injury or
damage, before using your
washer, turn on all hot water
faucets and allow water to run for
several minutes. This will allow
gases to escape. Do Not smoke or
use any open flame near the
faucet while it is open.
. The washer must be electrically
grounded. See Installation
Instructions.
. Store detergent and laundry
products in a cool, dry place out of
children’s reach. A locked cabinet
is recommended.
. Read and follow instructions on
detergent and laundry packages.
Pay special attention to warnings
and precautions.
n Do Not use chlorine bleach in the
same wash as ammonia, vinegar,
rust remover or other acids.
Hazardous fumes can form.
. Do Not machine-wash glass fiber
materials. Small particles can
stick to fabrics washed in
following loads and cause skin
irritation.
. Do Not use or store dry-cleaning
solvents, kerosene or other
flammable or explosive
substances in or near your washer.
These substances give off vapors
that can create a fire hazard or
explosion.

Laundry tips
A. Water hardness
Many poor washing results can be
traced to wash water hardness. To
check your water hardness:
Ask your city water company or
Cooperative Extension Service Office
(for well water) for the mineral
content in grains-per-gallon or parts-
per-million.
If your water is 9 or more grains-per-
gallon or more than 153parts-per-
million:
- consider installing awater softener.
- use more detergent.
- use apackaged, non-precipitating
water conditioner.
- DoNot use soap.
B.Laundry products
Laundry Tip
mDoNot use oxygen bleach in the
bleach dispenser. Clogging can
occur.
. Always dilute fabric softeners
with l/2 to l-cup (125to 250mL)
warm water. Undiluted fabric
softener can stain fabrics.
. Usefabric softeners only in deep
rinse.
. DoNot mix fabric softeners with
other laundry products.
l Too much fabric softener can
make someitems non-absorbent
(like diapers and towels). If this
happens, use less fabric softener
or don’t use it every time.
For best results when using soap,
detergent, chlorine or oxygen bleach,
fabric softeners, pretreatment or
enzyme laundry products, packaged
water conditioners, bluing, ammonia or
starch, follow the package instructions.
Serviceor performance problems
causedby the use of any product not
manufactured by Whirlpool Corporation
are the responsibility of the
manufacturer of that product.
C.Tints and dyes
Washer parts such as agitator,
washer lid, etc. may be
permanently stained by the dye
color.
Follow package directions for tints and
dyes; then, when you are finished ...
1.Put chlorine bleach and detergent
in the washer.
2. Run through a complete cycle using
hot water.
3.Repeatif staining occurs on
following loads.
D.Stain removal guide
I Fire Hazard I
. Never put dry-cleaning solvents
or fluids directly into your
washer.
’ Never put items treated with
solvents in your washer until
they have been completely
rinsed and air dried. The fumes
from these solvents can create a

. Treat stains when they arefresh.
Old or set stains may not comeout.
. Beforetreating check:
- type of stain.
- fabric label and how colorfast it is.
- how old the stain is.
mUsecold or warm water first. Hot
water can set somestains.
. Usebleach that is safefor fabric.
Dilute chlorine bleach.
. Test stain remover products on
inside seamor hidden comer of item
to check colorfastness.
flPut stained area face down on paper
towel or white cloth. Apply stain
remover to back of stain to force the
stain off the fabric instead of
through it.
