User Maintenance Instruction - Danby DWM99W Manuel D'utilisation

Knits
A variety of knits are being used for many types of
clothing and household furnishings. Many knits are
machine washable, some are hand washable and
some must be dry-cleaned. When buying, make
sure the garment has a care label with care
instructions. These directions must be followed
otherwise they may shrink or relax when exposed
to water.
Rayon Knits
Rayon stretches and shrinks easily. Treat as a deli-
cate fabric and wash gently.
Cotton Knits
Unless the label indicates that it is preshrunk, cotton
knits will probably shrink to some degree. Over dry-
ing contributes to shrinkage of cotton knits.
Wash water should be hot or warm suitable for
colour and soil. The rinse water should be cold.
Cold Weather
If the washer is delivered on a cold day (below
freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area
during the cold months, do not attempt to operate it
until the washer has had a chance to warm up.
Care of Your Washer
• Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the
control panel. Some spray prewash products may
harm the finish on the control panel.
• Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If detergent,
bleach or other washing products are spilled on
the cabinet, wipe immediately. Some products will
cause permanent damage if spilled on the cabinet.
• Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
• Do not lay sharp or rough objects on or against
the washer. The finish could be damaged.
• Do not expose the washer to direct sunlight or
rain.
SPECIAL CARE WASHING INFORMATION

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION

Synthetic Knits
Knits made from synthetic fibers or blends contain-
ing a high percentage of synthetics will generally
keep their shape. When buying, make sure the trim-
mings (including belts) are machine washable,
seams are not frayed, and zippers and trimmings
are well fastened.
Wool Sweaters
Loosely knit or delicately constructed sweaters will
need delicate care hand wash. Rinse thoroughly.
Block to shape and dry flat.
For sweaters labeled "machine washable" follow
manufacturers directions. Dry flat. Excess agitation
and excess tumbling are the main cause of wool
shrinkage.
Wool Knits
Dry-clean wool knits unless labeled "machine wash-
able" follow manufacturers directions.
• Keep the washer away from fire or heat source.
• The washtub will need no particular care though it
may need rinsing or wiping after an unusual load
has been washed. This also may be necessary if
too little detergent has been used.
• Leave the lid and open to allow the inside of the
washer to dry out after use. This helps prevent
musty odors from developing.
• When unplugging the power cord, do not pull the
wire cord, grasp the "plug" firmly and pull.
Motor Overload Protector
The internal overload protector in the motor will stop
the motor automatically in the event of an
overload. The overload protector will reset itself in
two or three minutes and the motor will reset
automatically. If the overload protector stops the
motor again, remove the washer from use and call
the serviceman to correct the problem.
