WASHER USE

Starting Your Washer

1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add 

powdered or liquid color safe bleach. 

2. Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer. 

Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and 
small items. Items should move easily through the wash 
water. 

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■  

Read all instructions before using the washer.

■  

Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned 
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with petrol, dry-
cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive 
substances as they give off vapours that could ignite or 
explode.

■  

Do not add petrol, dry-cleaning solvents, or other 
flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water. 
These substances give off vapours that could ignite or 
explode.

■  

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be 
produced in a hot water system that has not been used 
for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS 
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been 
used for such a period, before using the washing 
machine, turn on all hot water taps and let the water 
flow from each for several minutes. This will release 
any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is 
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during 
this time.

■  

Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close 
supervision of children is necessary when the washer 
is used near children.

■  

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or 
infirm persons without supervision.

■  

Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, 
remove the door or lid. 

■  

Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is 
moving.

■  

Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to 
the weather.

■  

Do not tamper with controls.

■  

Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt 
any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use 
and Care Guide or in published user-repair instructions that 
you understand and have the skills to carry out.

■  

See Installation Instructions for earthing requirements.

■  

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the 
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified 
person in order to avoid a hazard.

WARNING: 

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions, 

including the following:

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.

WARNING

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.
