INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your new Washer. In addition to its contemporary design, this is a highly sophisticated engineered product that will give you many years of satisfaction.

Here are some of the best reasons for buying your Washer

1. Space Saving

The washer is a compact size unit that can fit conveniently saving space in your home.

2. Placement Options

The washer's compact size makes it perfect for placement in any room of your home.

3. Easy Operation

This appliance is simple to use with easy to operate controls. Fully digital color coded LED display that makes it easy to understand and operate the machine.

4. Better Clothing Appearance

This Washer has no agitator to damage your clothes so they look better and last longer.

5. High spin speed

With a high spin speed of 1200 rpm, more water is extracted, allowing improved dry times.

6. Water Saving

The automatic water level feature determines the correct amount of water required based on the quantity of clothes which helps save water.

7. Add-a-sock

In this feature, the program can be stopped at any time to add forgotten items to the wash.

8. Lint Free Maintenance

Since the machine has a self-cleaning pump, this appliance needs no cleaning of lint after drying. Instead, there is a convenient coin trap.

9. Portability

This washer can be made portable with the installation of the Portability Kit (Accessory Part# 1070 sold separately) where needed.

10. Energy Saving

The washer is a horizontal-axis machine which uses 1/3rd the water than a regular top-loading machine. Energy is saved in heating the reduced amount of water.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your safety and that of your children

Your washing machine has been built in compliance with safety regulations, to protect you and all your family.

WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

  1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
  2. Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, or spotted with gasoline, other flammable or explosive substances, as they emit vapors that could ignite or explode.
  3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
  4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door.
  5. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or drum is moving.
  6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
  7. Do not tamper with controls.
  8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have skills to carry out.
  9. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
  10. 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 washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated Hydrogen.
  11. Do not use fabric softeners or products to reduce static unless recommended by the manufacturers of the fabric softener product
  12. Check the Coin Trap every few months to remove any coins, buttons or similar size objects.
