Starting Your Washer

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

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

1.Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add powdered or liquid color safe bleach. Add extra detergent for the Super cycle.

Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer.

Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and small items.

Items should move easily through the wash water. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.

To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and some synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide more space (see step 5).

2.Close the washer lid.

3.Push in LOAD SIZE selector button for the correct amount of your wash load and the type of fabric being washed.

Choose a load size that allows the load to move freely for best fabric care. See "Loading."

You may change the load size selection after the washer has started filling by pushing in a selector button for a different setting.

4.Push in a WASH TEMPS. selector button to get the correct setting for the type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest water safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.
