Can I wash items that are oil-stained using this machine?
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.
Why shouldn’t I wash clothing with water-resistant properties?
Washing clothes such as water repellant types can result in an abnormal vibrating and out-of-balance condition that could potentially lead to injury, property damage, or appliance damage.
How do I start a wash cycle after selecting my settings?
Press Start/Pause button twice without releasing to begin the washing cycle. The machine will check for out-of-balance conditions and proceed if okay.
Where can I find additional instructions or how-to videos about maintenance or operation?
