The tub can be loaded completely full with dry, unfolded
clothes. However, do not pack the tub tightly.
Overloading may reduce washing efficiency and possibly
cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.
When washing big, bulky items or a couple of small items
that do not fill the tub completely, such as a rug or two
sw
eaters,
a few towels should be added for improved
tumbling and spin performance.
To assure good cleaning results, it is very important to avoid
overloading the washer when washing heavily soiled loads.

b. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other
f
lammable or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
c. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been
used for such a period,
before using a washer or
combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water
faucets 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.
d.
Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with
vegetable or cooking oil.These items may contain
some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil,
the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.
