IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
flammable or explosive substances to
the wash water. These substances give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
,WARNING - To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to per-
sons while using your appliance, fol-
low basic safety precautions, includ-
ing the following:
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 the washing machine, turn
on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several min-
utes. This will release any built up hy-
drogen gas. As the gas is flammable,
do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
Read all instructions before using
the appliance.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of malfunction or break-
down, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of
least resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord hav-
ing an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not allow children to play on or
in the appliance. Close supervision
is necessary when the appliance is
used near children.
Before the appliance is removed
from service or discarded, remove
the door.
WARNING - Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electri-
cian or serviceman if you are in doubt
as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
Do not reach into the appliance if
the drum is moving.
Do not install or store this appli-
ance where it will be exposed to
the weather.
Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance - if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Do not tamper with
the controls.
Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance, or attempt any ser-
vicing unless specifically recom-
mended in these Operating Instruc-
tions.
Do not wash articles that have
been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive sub-
stances, as they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode. Do not add
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other

Before using the washer
The appliance must be correctly in-
stalled and connected before the
first use. Please see the "Installation
instructions."
Before using the washer, a program
must be run without laundry and without
detergent to flush out any residual
water from the factory testing process.
^ Close washer door.
^ Press in the "On/Off" button.
^ Turn the program selector to
"COTTONS/very hot".
^ Press the "Spin" button until the "900"
mark of the indicator lights.
^ Press the "START" button.
Once the program ends the washer can
be used for laundry.

Using the washer
1. Prepare and sort laundry
– Dark fabrics often "bleed" the first few
times they are washed. They should
be washed separately several times
before being included in a mixed
load.
^ Empty all pockets.
– Remove any lead weights or strips
from curtains before washing.
– Loose bra underwires should be re-
moved or sewn in place before
washing.
– Woolens and knitted garments
should be turned inside out.
– Close zippers, hooks and eyelets be-
fore washing.
,Foreign objects left in pockets
(e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.)
can cause damage to clothes and
the machine.
^ Sort the laundry.
Only wash items that are labeled ma-
chine washable by the manufacturer.
Most garments have a fabric care label
in the collar or side seam. Sort the laun-
dry by care label and color.
^ Pretreat stains.
Tough stains (blood, egg, coffee, tea
etc.) or badly soiled areas (collars and
cuffs) should be pretreated with a stain
remover or a paste made from powder
detergent and warm water.

2. Load the laundry
^ Turn on the washer using the "On/Off"
button.
^ Open the drum door using the "Door"
button.
^ Load the laundry into the drum.
For best results, wash mixed loads of
small and large items. This will im-
prove washing effectiveness and
help distribute the load evenly.
Note: Overloading the washer will affect
wash results and cause wrinkling.
^ Close the drum door.
To prevent damage to the door seal
and clothing, make sure that there
are no clothes caught between the
drum door and the seal.
