WARNING

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

The following is a guide to starting your washer. Periodic references to other sections of this manual provide more detailed information.

UsingtheProperDetergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

1.Place a load of sorted clothes into the washer. See “Laundry Tips.”

■Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and small items. Items should move easily through the wash water.

■Load only to the top of the basket as shown. Overloading can cause poor cleaning. Items need to move easily through the wash water.

2.Pour measured powdered or liquid High Efficiency detergent into the detergent dispenser. Always use the detergent dispenser, and do not put detergent directly onto clothes in the washer.

liquid detergent.
