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

hotwaterfaucetsandletthewaterflowfromeachforseveralminutes.Thiswillrelease

any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use an

Follow the guidelines below for preparing the wash load.

Read the Washer Operating Instructions for operating your specific model.

Always read and follow fabric care and laundry product labels.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, read

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.

•

Separate white, light, and colorfast items from dark and noncolorfast items.

•

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

sense an out-of-balance load. If an out-of-balance load is sensed, the washer

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion or to

prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

•

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

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.

Washing Procedures

Read the Washer Operating Instructions for operating your specific model.

Always read and follow fabric care and laundry product labels.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, read

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
