emergencies.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

Before making the water supply connection, allow a quantity of water to flow from

the tap. The water should be clean and free from impurities, especially where the

system is new or has been left unused for a length of time.

There are two hoses provided with the machine. The hot water hose is indicated

with a red stripe running the length of the hose.

Insert the filter (washer) supplied (Fig. 5) before connecting the water inlet hose

to the valve. Check that the other end of the hose is tight (Fig. 5A). Turn the supply

valveon (Fig. 5B).

The drain outlet should be positioned at a height of between 23”(60 cm) and 35”

(90 cm) above the floor (Fig. 6).

RECOMMENDED LOAD SIZES

To reduce wrinkling, you should determine the load size based on the type(s) of fabrics being washed.

Cotton and Linen Fabrics—These items should be washed in full loads because the tumble action of the

tub along with the gentle rubbing, lifting and falling movement of the clothes gives the best cleaning result.

Permanent Press Fabrics—These items need more room to move freely during washing for the most

wrinkle-free results. Therefore, fill the machine only half full for permanent press items.

Delicate Fabrics—These fabrics, such as machine washable wool and silk, should only be washed in

one-third size loads for the best results.

CARE LABEL INSTRUCTIONS

Most clothes and other washable items have permanent care labels. Read these labels carefully! Care label

instructions and warnings should be followed for the best cleaning results. The table below defines the

typical symbols used on fabric care labels. (Note: Some manufacturers may use slightly different symbols.)

THE CONTROL PANEL

The control panel is simple to understand and easy to operate. The illustration below defines the knobs

and buttons and the following paragraphs define the purpose of each.

ON/OFF BUTTON

This button switches the power to the machine on and off. The button will glow to indicate the power is on

and the Start button will flash.

PROGRAM KNOB

Turn this knob to the desired program. The table on page 9 defines each program in detail, so you can

determine which program is best for each type of load.

StopPosition

Leave the Program Knob on Stop if you wish to use the drying function only. To stop the machine after you

have started a program, turn the Program Knob to the Stop position.

If you turn the Program to Stop to interrupt a program to add an item or to cancel a program, there will be a

two-minute delay before the door lock will release and you can open the door. To restart the machine, you

will have to reposition the Program Knob and press the Start Button.

NOTE: Before the program will start, the machine will drain any water already in the machine. Before you

press Start, it is a good idea to make sure you do not need to add more detergent.

CYCLE INDICATOR LIGHTS

As the program progresses, the light for the cycle in progress will glow. The Stop indicator light glows when

the program is complete. At this point, there will be a two-minute delay before the door lock will release and

you can open the door.

DRYING TIME KNOB

The Drying Time Knob lets you select the number of minutes you wish to dry the load. It is a good idea to

start with a shorter time then add time if the load isn’t yet dry. This will prevent you from overdrying the load

and possibly damaging some garments.

You can also use the drying function only. Simply leave the Program Knob in the Stop position and set the

Drying Time Knob to the desired number of minutes, and press Start.

PREWASH BUTTON

Press this button to select a prewash. This is recommended only for heavily soiled items. The button will

glow when this option is on. If you use a prewash, be sure to put detergent in the prewash compartment of

the detergent drawer.

NOTE: The prewash cannot be selected for the Delicate programs.
