PREVENTIVEMEASURES  
PROBLEM  
POSSIBLECAUSES  
SOLUTIONS  
Greasy, oily  
stains  
•Rub fabric softener stains with bar  
soap. Rinse and rewash.  
•Add a few bath towels to small loads for proper  
tumbling.  
•Fabric softener sheet.  
•Some "silk-like" fabrics should be air dried.  
•Use proper drying temperature.  
•Place fabric softener sheet on top of load before  
starting the dryer.  
Lint  
•Reduce load size and rewash using  
liquid fabric softener in the final rinse.  
•Or, add a fabric softener sheet and  
tumble at low heat for 5-10 minutes.  
•Use lint brush or roller to remove lint.  
•Do not overload dryer.  
•Use fabric softener in washer or dryer to reduce  
static electricity.  
•Remove items when they are slightly damp to  
avoid overdrying.  
•Overloading.  
•Overdrying causes static  
electricity.  
•Lint screen not clean when  
cycle began.  
•Check that lint screen is clean and in place.  
•Lint is attached to "pills."  
Pilling  
•Use a lint brush or shaver to remove  
pills.  
•Use fabric softener to lubricate fibers.  
•When ironing, use spray starch or fabric finish on  
collars and cuffs.  
•Pilling is normal with synthetic  
and permanent press fabrics.  
This is due to abrasion from  
normal wear.  
(Fibers break off,  
ball up and cling  
to fabric.)  
•Turn items inside out to reduce abrasion.  
Shrinking  
Wrinkling  
•Irreversible condition.  
•Follow fabric care label directions.  
•If shrinking is a concern, check load often.  
•Remove items while slightly damp.  
•Block knits into shape.  
•Overdrying.  
•Lay flat to complete drying.  
•Reduce load size and tumble at low  
heat for 5-10 minutes.  
•Remove items immediately. Hang or  
fold.  
•Do not overload dryer.  
•Remove items as soon as cycle ends.  
•Overloading.  
•Leaving items in dryer after  
cycle ends.

Important Safety Instructions  
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow these Important Safety Instructions:  
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this laundry center, comply with the basic warnings  
listed below.  
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.  
Prevent Fire  
Do not wash or dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene,  
waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the dryer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.  
Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the laundry center. These substances give off vapors that could ignite the  
materials.  
Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give  
off vapors that could ignite or explode.  
FOR YOUR SAFETY Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any  
other appliance.  
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 washer, turn on  
all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.  
Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.  
To prevent fire, do not use heat to dry items containing plastic, foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials, or items  
containing feathers or down. Use Air Fluff (No Heat) only.  
Clean the dryer lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct should be  
cleaned approximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An excessive amount of lint build-up in these areas could  
result in inefficient drying and possible fire. See Care and Cleaning.  
Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can  
occur. If your dryer has a drying rack, always replace the lint screen when finished using the drying rack.  
Keep area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.  
Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of the laundry  
center.  
Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near laundry center at any time.  
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or  
product.  
Donotplaceitemsexposedtocookingoilsinyourdryer. Itemscontaminatedwithcookingoilsmaycontributetoachemicalreaction  
that could cause a load to catch fire.  
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic  
parts of the laundry center.  
Protect Children  
Do not allow children to play on or in the laundry center. Close supervision of children is necessary when the laundry center is  
used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.  
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the laundry center is unpacked. Children might use them for  
play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.  
Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.  
Before the laundry center is removed from service or discarded, remove the washer lid and dryer door to prevent accidental  
entrapment.  
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

Important Safety Instructions before operating this washer.  
1. Sort laundry into loads that can be washed together.  
Sort items by recommended water temperatures, wash time, and agitate/spin  
speeds.  
Separatewhite,light,andcolorfastitemsfromdarkandnoncolorfastitems.  
Separate items which shed lint from items which attract lint. Permanent  
press, synthetic, knit and corduroy items will pick up lint from towels, rugs  
and chenille bedspreads.  
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled items.  
Separate lacy, sheer and loosely knit items from sturdy items.  
Sort laundry into loads that can be  
washed together.  
2. Prepare items for washing.  
Empty pockets.  
Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach towels.  
Closezippers,fastenhooks,tiestringsandsashes,andremovenonwashable  
trims and ornaments.  
Remove pins, decorative buttons, belt buckles, and other objects which  
could be damaged. This also helps protect other items in the wash load.  
Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage during washing.  
Place delicate items such as bras and hosiery in a mesh bag to prevent  
tangling during the wash cycle.  
Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.  
3. Pretreat stains and heavy soil.  
Empty pockets.  
See Stain Removal for details.  
4. Add laundry load to washer.  
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items  
should not be more than half the total wash load.  
Washing a single item, such as a sweater, bath towel or jeans, is not  
recommended. As the machine tumbles the load prior to final spin, it may

will stop briefly and tumble for a short time to try to balance the load. This  
stop-tumble action may occur several times before the end of the cycle. If  
the load can not be evenly balanced, items may feel wet at the end of the  
cycle. Adding 1 or 2 similar items will help balance the load.  
If a load becomes tangled and out-of-balance, it may be necessary to
