Important Safety Instructions

(Save These Instructions)

1. Read all instructions before using the washer.

2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in

the INSTALLATION manual for the proper

grounding of the washer.

3. 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 substances as they give

off vapors that could ignite or explode.

4. 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.

5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been

used for two 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 or combination washer-dryer,

turn on all hot water faucets and let the water

flow from each for several minutes. This will

release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is

flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame

during this time.

6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.

Close supervision of children is necessary when

the washer is used near children. This is a safety

rule for all appliances.

7. Before the washer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to the washing

compartment.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum is

moving.

9. Do not install or store the washer where it will be

exposed to water and/or weather.

10. Do not tamper with the controls.

11. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or

attempt any servicing unless specifically

recommended in the User-Maintenance

instructions or in published User-Repair

instructions that you understand and have the

skills to carry out.

12. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO

NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to

connect the washer to the electrical power source.

13. Use your washer only for its intended purpose,

washing clothes.

14. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical

supply before attempting any service. Disconnect

the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

15. Install the washer according to the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All

connections for water, drain, electrical power and

grounding must comply with local codes and be

made by licensed personnel when required. Do

not do it yourself unless you know how!

16. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes which have

traces of any flammable substances such as

vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil,

flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything

containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and

cleaning cloths, must not be put into the washer.

These flammable substances may cause the

fabric to catch on fire by itself.

17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

18. Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or

dropping the washer can damage safety features.

If this occurs, have your washer checked by a

qualified service person.

19. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.

20. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve

and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE

the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,

serious injury or death to persons when

using your washer, follow these basic

precautions:

21. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the

washer is to fill, tumble or spin. DO NOT

bypass the loading door switch by permitting the

washer to operate with the loading door open.

22. Always read and follow manufacturer’s

instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning

aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce

the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep

them out of the reach of children at all times

(preferably in a locked cabinet).

23. Always follow the fabric care instructions

supplied by the garment manufacturer.

24. Never operate the washer with any guards

and/or panels removed.

25. DO NOT operate the washer with missing or

broken parts.

26. DO NOT bypass any safety devices.

27. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this

washer according to the manufacturer’s

instructions may result in conditions which can

produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this

manual are not meant to cover all possible

conditions and situations that may occur. Common

sense, caution and care must be exercised when

installing, maintaining, or operating the washer.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent

or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions

you do not understand.

Use and Care

Before Washing

Prepare Wash Load

Empty Pockets and Cuffs

Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside

out. One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail or sharp

object in a load can catch laundry and cause tears.

Facial tissue left in a pocket will produce extreme

“lint.”A crayon or lipstick in a wash load may cause

stains that cannot be removed. Roll down cuffs and

shake out grass, sand, and gravel.

Mend Rips and Tears

Little holes can become bigger in the washer. Mend

holes and tears before placing garments in the washer.

Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks

These can catch on garments in a wash load and tear

them. Tie belts and sashes so they won’t wind around

clothes.

Check for Colorfastness

Squeeze a portion of garment in warm or hot sudsy

water. If the color bleeds or runs, wash the item

separately in cold water.

Sort

Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few guidelines:

1. Sort by color.

Figure 1

2. Sort by fabric and construction.

Figure 2

3. Sort by care label.

Figure 3

4. Sort by type and amount of soil.

Children’s play clothes, as well as work clothes,

will need extra treatment. Lightly soiled clothes

can become dingy if washed with heavily soiled

items.

Pretreat

Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pre-wash product

or liquid detergent when placing them in the washer.

Before washing, treat special stains with bar soap,

liquid detergent or a paste of water and granular

detergent. Use a pretreat soil and stain remover.

Load Articles

Load items by the amount of space they take up, not by

their weight. Mix large and small items in a load to get

the best washing results.

Load items loosely into the wash drum. The bulk of

the clothes rather than the weight will determine load

size.

Load Sizes

Load sizes vary. Small and large items should be

washed together to create a balanced load. If washing

a large item, two bath towels should be added to even

the load. Smaller loads can create an unbalanced

condition and cause premature wear on the washer. Do

not hesitate to fill the entire inner drum of the washer.

The load will compress a great deal when wet. This

allows room for proper tumbling.

Water

Water Level

The washer will automatically adjust the water level to

the type and size of the load during any fill.

Water Hardness

Figure 4

NOTE: One grain per U.S. gallon equals 17.1 parts

per million (P.P.M.).

Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon

(G.P.G.) or parts per million (P.P.M.). To learn your

water hardness, call your Water Department or State

Extension Service. Hard water will not remove soil as

well as soft water and can result in gray, dingy laundry.

To get clothes clean in hard water, use more detergent

but avoid oversudsing. Do not use soap.

Hard Water May Be Softened By:

1. A mechanical water softener installed in your

home.

2. The use of a packaged water conditioner.

Soft Water

Water should be soft enough to allow soaps and

detergents to remove soil effectively. Clothes will be

whiter and brighter when washed and rinsed in soft

water.

W120I

SOFT WATER

10 grains per U.S. gallon

MODERATELY HARD WATER

20 grains per U.S. gallon

HARD WATER

50 grains per U.S. gallon

VERY HARD WATER

Over 50 grains per U.S. gallon
