WARNING
Never place items in the washer that are dampened with
gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including cooking oils).
During so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Sort and prepare your laundry
� Empty pockets, Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the agitator and become trapped, causing
unexpected sounds.
� Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and
colorfastness.
� Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
� Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
� Do not dry items if stains remain after washing, because heat
can set stains into fabric.
� Treat stains promptly.
� Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
� Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during
washing.
Helpful Tips:
� Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when washing
delicate or small items.
� Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from
lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up
lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
NOTE:
� Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid
damage to your garments.
� The washer will not start or fill with the lid open.
