Loading the Washer
Safety Instructions Operating Instructions
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub. When loading wet items make sure you set the load/water level high enough to allow the items to move freely. Water level should just cover the clothes. To add items after washer has started, open the lid and add the additional items. Close the lid. Washer will start automatically.
■Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
■When the lid is up, a signal will sound and “Lo” will appear in the display. The washer will not agitate with the lid up.

Care and Cleaning of the Washer
Wash Basket: Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate. If you want to clean the basket use a clean, soft cloth dampened with liquid detergent, then rinse. (Do not use harsh
or gritty cleaners.)
Fill Hoses: Hoses connecting washer to faucet should be replaced every 5 years.
Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with sharp objects.
Moving and Storage: Ask the service technician to remove water from drain pump and hoses. Do not store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.
Long Vacations: Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will be below freezing.
