Water Heater Safety

Important Safety Information

Read all safety information before using

Under certain conditions

hydrogen gas may be produced

in a water heater that has not

been used for two weeks or more.

HYDROGEN GAS CAN BE

EXPLOSIVE UNDER THESE

CIRCUMSTANCES.

If the hot water has not been used

for two weeks or more, prevent

the possibility of damage or injury

by turning on all hot water taps

and allow them to run for several

minutes before using any electri-

cal appliance which is connected

to the hot water system. This will

allow any hydrogen gas to escape.

Since the gas is flammable, do

not smoke or use an open flame

or appliance during this process.

appropriate for the load you are washing.

This refers to the speed of the agitator during

the wash and the basket during the spin.

slower. Use for delicate and knit items.

The Fast spin speed is for durable items.

Always add detergent before

adding clothes so that the deter-

gent can work effectively.

Using the correct amount of

detergent is one of the most

important things you can do to

make sure your wash comes out

clean. Always follow the detergent

package directions.

Using too little detergent is

a common cause of laundry

problems. Use more detergent if

you have hard water, large loads,

greasy or oily soils or lower water

temperature.

Detergent

Load dry items loosely, spacing

evenly around agitator, and close

the lid.

A typical wash load: two twin sheets,

two tablecloths, four collared

shirts, three pillow cases, three

small bath

towels, three t-shirts,

and three pairs of shorts

Place large items in bottom, small

items in the middle and medium

items on top.

When loading wet items make

sure you set the load/water level

high enough to allow the items to

move freely.

Wash bulky items like blankets

separately.

To add items after washer has

started, push in Cycle knob and

submerge additional items next to

the agitator. Close the lid and pull

Cycle knob out to restart.

To reduce wrinkling, give

permanent press items, synthetics

and poly knits room to move freely

in the washer.

NOTE:

•

Do not wrap large items like sheets

around the agitator.

•

Do not wash fabrics containing

flammable materials (waxes, clean-

ing fluids, etc.) in your washer.

Load

Leave the lid open after washing

to allow moisture to evaporate. The

wash basket is practically care free.

If you want to clean the washer use

a clean soft cloth dampened with

liquid detergent, then rinse. (Do

not use harsh or gritty cleaners.)

Fill Hoses—

Hoses connecting

washer to faucet should be replaced

every five years.

Moving and Storage—

Ask the service

technician to remove water from

drain pump and hoses. Contact

your local distributor for informa-

tion on how to keep the tub station-

ary when moving the washer.

Long Vacations—

Be sure water

supply is shut off at taps. Drain all

water from hoses if weather will be

below freezing.

The Washer

Care & Cleaning

Down-Filled Garments Always wash down-filled garments separately from other types

of garments. Wet down gives off an odor that will disappear when

the down is dried. Wash down items frequently to fluff up the

down and to retain down’s warmth. When washing make sure

the load is balanced. Add towels if necessary. Always tumble-dry

down garments.

Pillows Pillows are made from a variety of materials. Wash only if

recommended on the Pillow Manufacturer’s Care Label. Before

washing check pillows for weak seams or holes, and mend. Let

the washer fill with water and add detergent. Let the washer

agitate for several minutes and then add pillows in pairs. This

will keep the load balanced. Use the largest load/water level

available.

Blankets Let the washer fill with water, add detergent, allow detergent to

dissolve, then add blanket. Wash only one blanket at a time.

Permanent Press Clothes Select a larger load/water level than normal. This will provide

that are Line Dried more water to help reduce wrinkling and to allow clothes enough

room to move around. Remove clothes as soon as the wash cycle is

complete and hang them up immediately.
