Important Safety Instructions

(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)

1. Read all instructions before using the washer.

2. Refer to the EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS in

the INSTALLATION manual for the proper

earthing 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 washtub or

agitator 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 earthing 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. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by a special cord or assembly

available from the manufacturer or its service

agent.

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: W023E

WARNING

39979 3

21. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time

the washer is to agitate or spin. DO NOT by-

pass the loading door switch by permitting the

washer to spin with the loading door open. A

brake will stop the washtub within seconds if

the loading door is opened during spinning. If

the washtub does not stop when the loading

door is opened, remove the washer from use

and call the service person.

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 by-pass 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.

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, support wires

from bras (recommended to be washed in a garment

bag), nail or sharp object in a load can catch laundry

and cause tears or damage the machine. 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 outgrass, 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.

Remove Nonwashable Trim

Check for colourfastness by squeezing a portion of

garment in warm or hot sudsy water. If the colour

bleeds or runs, wash the item separately in cold water.

Sort

Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few guidelines:

1. Sort by Colour

2. Sort by Fabric and Construction

3. Sort by Care Label

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.

5. Sort Lint “Shedders” From Lint “Receivers”

Some fabrics attract lint and should not be washed with

lint-shedding loads. Lint shedders are cottons, terry

towels, chenille bedspreads, rugs, and clothes which

have been heavily bleached.

Lint receivers are synthetics, permanent or durable

press, knits (including socks), corduroy, and other

smooth fabrics.

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.

Loading the Washer

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.

Drop items loosely into the washtub. The bulk of the

clothes rather than the weight will determine load size.

Do not pack items in or wrap them around the agitator.

Overloading can cause poor cleaning, excessive

wrinkling, and tears.

Items should move freely through the wash water for

best cleaning results. Items should rollover, sink and

then reappear.

When washing very large items, do not fill washtub as

full as with other loads.

Load Sizes

Small

3-4 perm. press dress shirts

1 twin sheet, 1 pillow case

1-2 lightweight dresses

Medium

6-7 perm. press shirts

2 twin sheets, 2 pillow cases

8 standard bath towels,

6 wash cloths

Large

10-11 perm. press shirts

Reset (OPTIONAL)

Use the RESET if agitation has started and more water

is needed for the load.

W280IE0B

639979

Water Level The water level in your washer should fit the size of

your wash load. Small loads will use lower water

levels. There must be enough water in the washtub to

allow items to move and turn over freely.

Overloading the washtub can result in poor washing

and rinsing. Overloading may also cause wrinkling and

tearing of items.

IMPORTANT: If in doubt, always use a higher

water level. Most average loads will require a water

setting of Large. Failure to have the correct volume

of water relative to the load will increase the

incidence of excessive lint.

Water

Water Hardness

Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon

(G.P.G.) or parts per million (P.P.M.). Hard water will

not remove soil as well as soft water and can result in

grey, dingy laundry. To get clothes clean in hard water,

use more detergent. 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 non-precipitating 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.

Iron

If iron is present in the water, the clothes may become

an all-over yellow or they may be stained with brown

or orange spots or streaks. Iron is not always visible in

the water.

Solutions to Iron Problems

The installation of a water softener will remove small

amounts of iron from the water supply. The installation

of an iron filter may be necessary for more severe

cases. If the iron comes from the pipes, it may be

sufficient just to let the water run into the empty washer

for about one minute. This may help to clear the pipes.

Spin this water out of the washtub before starting the

wash.

If iron comes from the water heater, drain the heater

occasionally to remove the rust.

If the Iron Condition Cannot Be Corrected

Prepare the wash water first by adding detergent (not

soap), then add the clothes to the washtub. Use a

phosphate detergent. The phosphate content of a

detergent is listed on the package side panel.

Add a non-precipitating water conditioner to the

washtub just before the rinse water enters. Do not use

fabric softener in the rinse water if a packaged water

conditioner is used.

Iron With Chlorine Bleach

The use of chlorine bleach with water that contains iron

will make the rust discolouration worse. Use an “all

fabric” bleach.

Wash Temperature

Hot Water

Hot water will give the best results of cleaning and

sanitizing, but it is not suitable for all items. It is best

for sturdy whites and colourfast items, heavily soiled

items and nappies.

Warm Water

By using warm water, there is less chance of colour

loss in items. Warm water also reduces wrinkling in

permanent press items. Use with light and moderate

soils, non-colourfast or dark colours, permanent press,

silks, woolens, nylon, and acrylic.

Cold Water

Cold water is less effective in cleaning than hot or

warm water, but it does minimize wrinkling and colour

fading. Use it for washing extra-sensitive clothes and

for the rinsing of all fabrics.

Energy

You can save energy when washing by following a few

guidelines:

1. Heating water accounts for the greatest energy

expense when washing. Save on heating water by

using cold rinses.

2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.

3. Use soak cycles for heavily soiled items to reduce

wash times.

4. Select a shorter wash time for lightly soiled items.
