Starting Your Washer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
The following is a guide to starting your washer. Periodic references to other sections of this
manual provide more detailed information.
Using the Proper Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package 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. Using 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 detergents 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.
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.
