IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

•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, 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 a washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several min- utes. This will release any accumulat- ed hydrogen gas. As the gas is flam- mable, 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 or lid.

•Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is moving.

•Do not install or store this washer where it will be exposed to the weathen

•Do not tamper with controls.

•Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the Owner'sManual or in published user- repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

Known for their exceptional performance, Kenmore washers come in both top-loading and front-loading designs, catering to a range of preferences and laundry needs.

One of the standout features of Kenmore washers is their advanced cleaning technology. Many models are equipped with powerful wash action systems that penetrate fabrics deeply, ensuring that dirt and stains are effectively removed. The Triple Action Agitator in some top-loading models provides enhanced motion to deliver a thorough clean, while front-loading washers utilize high-efficiency tumbling to provide a gentle yet effective washing process.

Additionally, the Adaptive Wash Technology senses fabric types and load size, adjusting the wash cycle settings for optimal performance.

Kenmore washers also offer a range of wash cycles and options, allowing users to tailor their washing experience to their specific needs. For instance, the Express Wash cycle is perfect for quickly cleaning lightly soiled items, while the Deep Fill option ensures that larger loads have enough water for a thorough wash. Moreover, many models include a Sanitize cycle, which eliminates 99.9% of household bacteria, making them ideal for washing bed linens and towels.

User convenience is a priority for Kenmore, and this is evident in features such as the SmartDispense Technology.

Furthermore, many Kenmore washers come with a large capacity drum, accommodating bulky items such as comforters and bedding with ease.
