WASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all

safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

"WARNING." These words mean:

You can be kiJled or seriously injured if you don't

immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you

what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

This compartment cannot dilute powdered bJeach,

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked

"HE" or "High Efficiency/' Low-water washing creates excessive

sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will likely

result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance, it may

also result in component failure and, over time, buildup of mold or

mildew. HE detergents are low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to

produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They

hold soil in suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of

detergent to use.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

USING THE DISPENSER DRAWER

1. Open the dispenser drawer.

2. Add laundry products as described in steps 4-6 in the

"Using Your Washer" section.

3. Slowly close the dispenser drawer. Make sure it is

completely closed.

NOTE: A small amount of water may remain inthe dispensers from

the previous wash cycle. This is normal.

Use this cycle for extremely soiled

garments and household items that

need additional cleaning power.

* Steam for Stains option is only available when warm, hot or extra hot water temperature is selected.

t" Allergen

Allergen cycle certified by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certification organization. The certification verified that this

cycle reduced tested allergens by at least 95.0% and maintained the water temperature necessary to kill dust mites. Only the allergen cycle has

been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P351 for Allergen Reduction Performance effectiveness.

USINGYOURWASHER

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are dampened

with gasoline or other fiarnmable fluids.

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 can result in death, explosion, or fire.

First wash cycle without laundry

Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during

the final installation step, choose the NORMAL cycle and run it

without clothes. Use only HE detergent. Use 1/2 the manufacturer's

recommended amount for a medium-size load. This initial cycle

serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.

1, Sort and prepare your laundry

Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and

colorfastness. Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.

Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. Treat stains promptly

and check for colorfastness by testing stain remover products on

an inside seam.

IMPORTANT:

[] Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can

plug pumps and may require a service call.

[] 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.

[] Turn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers from

lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint

from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

[] Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because heat

can set stains into fabric.

[] Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry

product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage

to your garments.

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.

f2, Add laundry products

Single-dose laundry packet, Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach,

or fabric softener crystals can be added to the drum prior to

adding laundry.

NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer drum prior to adding

laundry products. Always follow manufacturer's instructions.

3.Load laundry into washer

Place a load of sorted clothes loosely in the washer, items need to

move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the latch clicks.

[] Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully

loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close easily.

See "Cycle Guide" for loading suggestions.

[] Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items. Load

evenly.

[] Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items, use

more than one bag and fill bags equally.
