- Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable liquids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
ProperUseof Detergent
Add detergent and fabric softener before adding items
so that the detergent can work effectively. Using too
little or too much detergent is a common cause of
laundry problems.
Use less detergent if you hove soft water, a smaller load
or a lightly soiled loud.
Forspots, apply pre-treatment to items as recommended
on the product label. Application should be made in
the basket to prevent overspray which may cause the
coloring on the lid or graphics to fade.
GErecommends the use of High Efficiency
detergents in your energy efficient washer.
HEdetergents are formulated to work with low water
wash and rinse systems. HEdetergents reduce the
oversudsing problems commonly associated with
regular detergents.
When using high efficiency or concentrated detergents,
consult the product label to determine amount required
for optimum performance. Excessivedetergent will
negatively impact wash performance.
Loadingthe Washer
Load dry items loosely in the washer basket. For best
results, load items evenly and loosely around the
outside of the basket. To add items after washer has
started, lift the lid and submerge additional items
around the outside of the basket.
[] Do not place large items across the agitator. Load
them around the outside of the basket.
[] Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials
(waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
[] Washer will not agitate or spin with the lid up,
however the timer will continue to run.
