WASHER USE
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
oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
The following is a guide to using your washer.
Please refer to specific sections of this manual
for more detailed information.
Do not store laundry products on the top sur-
face of this washer. Vibration is normal during
operation.
STARTING THE WASHER
WARNING
USING THE PROPER DETERGENT
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The pack-
age for this type of detergent will be marked
“HE” or “High Efficiency.” This wash system,
along with less water, will create too much
sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Us-
ing regular detergent will likely result in washer
errors, longer cycle times and reduced rinsing
performance. It may also result in component
failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE de-
tergents are made to produce the right amount
of suds for the best performance. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to determine the
amount of detergent to use.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
First Wash Cycle Without Laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, if not
completed during the final installation step,
choose the Normal/Casual cycle and run it
without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency
detergent. Use 1/2 the manufacturer’s recom-
mended amount for a medium sized load. This
initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean
before washing clothes.
