Starting Your Washer
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened with petrol 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 an earthed plug socket outlet.
Do not remove earth pin.
Do not use an adaptor.
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 colour safe bleach. If the water temperature is too low, dilute the detergent in warm water. Add extra detergent for the Super Wash cycle. Follow detergent manufacturer’s directions.
■Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer.
■Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and small items. Larger items such as sheets should be added last.
■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.(OPTIONAL) Pour measured liquid bleach into the liquid bleach dispenser. Bleach will be dispensed automatically during the wash part of the cycle.
■Never use more than 250 mL (1 cup) for a full load. Use less with a smaller load size.
■Follow the manufacturer’s directions for safe use.
■To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer basket.
■Use only liquid bleach in this dispenser.
3.Close the washer lid.
4.Turn the LOAD SIZE selector to the correct setting for 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 turning the selector to a different setting.
5.Set the TEMPERATURE selector to the correct setting for the type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest water safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.
Your washer uses automatic temperature control to maintain a uniform water temperature by regulating incoming hot and cold water. This helps eliminate undissolved detergent and ensures consistent cleaning results. The cold wash is regulated at approximately 24ºC (75ºF) by adding small amounts of hot water during the cold fill. The warm wash is maintained at approximately 38ºC (100ºF).
NOTE: Make sure that both hot and cold water taps are fully turned on, or the automatic temperature control feature will not work properly.
