You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
these Important
Safety Instructions:
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Preven t Fire
Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene,
cooking oils, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the washer. These substances give off vapors or chemical
reactions that could ignite or explode.
Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the washer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite the
materials.
• Do not add gasoline, 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
washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or
plastic parts of the washer.
Protect Children
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near
children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the washer is unpacked. Children might use them for
play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the washer door to prevent accidental entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

Prevent Injury
To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the washer must be installed and electrically grounded by a
qualified service person in accordance with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the washer for installer's
reference. Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSfor detailed grounding procedures. If the washer is moved to a new
location, have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the washer, the electrical power cord of the washer must be plugged into a
properly grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding prong must never be removed. Never ground the
washer to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.
* Follow package directions when using laundry products. Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas--resulting in serious
injury or death,
Do notcombine laundry products for use in I load unless specified on the label.
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar.

before operating this washer.
Add laundry load to washer.
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items
should not be more than half the total wash load.
Washing single items such as a sweater, towel or jeans may cause an out-ofbalance load. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance the load.

A.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE DISPENSER DRAWER
Slowly open the dispenser drawer.
After adding laundry products, slowly close the
dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly
could result in early dispensing of bleach or fabric

bleach and fabric softener compartments. This is a
result of the siphoning action and is part of the normal
operation of the washer.
LIQUID BLEACH

liquid chlorine bleach (not to exceed 1/3 cup (80 mL))
and pour it into the center compartment labeled
"Liquid Bleach" and marked with this symbol_
Fill to the mininum fill line (MIN.)for small loads. Fill
to the maximum fill line (MAX.) for large loads. Do not
exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause
early dispensing of the bleach which could result in
damaged clothes.
Do not pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly
onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can
occur.

washer drum as it is added.
Add a low-sudsing, high-efficierlcy
detergent made for front-loading
washers to the dispenser chamber.
Look for this symbol on the detergent
label. Use the cap or scoop provided by the detergent
man ufacturer to measurethe amount recommended.
Color-safebleach, water conditioner, detergent booster
and enzyme products may be added to the detergent
compartment. Avoid mixing liquids and powders.
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water
temperature, water hardness, load size and soil level.
For best results, avoid oversudsing.
D.
FABRIC SOFTENER
If desired, pour the recommended amount of fabric
softener into the compartment labeled "Fabric
Softener" and marked with this symbol_
Fill to the mininum fill line (MIN.) for small loads. Fill
to the maximum fill line (MAX.) for large loads. Do not
