- Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable liquids.
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.
Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row of
holes in the washer basket. When loading wet items,
make sure you set the load/water level high enough
to allow the items to move freely. Water level should
just cover the clothes. To add items after washer has
started, lift the lid and submerge additional items next
to the agitator.
[] Do not wrap long items likesheetsor pants around the
agitator.
[] Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials
(waxes,cleaning fluids,etc).
[] Agitation will not start with the lid up.
Pro ent
Add detergent and start the washer before adding
clothes so that the detergent can work effectively.
Using too little or too much detergent is a common
cause of laundry problems.
You can use less detergent if you have soft water, a
smaller load or a lightly soiled load.
