USING YOUR WASHER
Fire Hazard
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 otis).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
= 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 garments by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
[] Separate heavily soiled garments from lightly soiled.
[] Separate delicate garment from sturdy fabrics.
[] Do not dry garments 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 garments
during washing.
Helpful Tips:
[] When washing water-proof or water-resistant garments, load
evenly.
[] 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.
Add a measured of amount of detergent or single-dose
laundry packet into the basket.
If using Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric
softener crystals, add to the bottom of the washer basket
before adding clothes.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine
the amount of laundry products to use.
