• The design of the parts and accessories may differ from the pictures above
• Their design is subject to change without notice for product improvement
• Do not reuse old hoses. Only use new water supply hoses when you install the washer. Old water supply hoses can leak or burst causing flooding and property damage.
• Confirm that there are rubber washers inside the couplings of each water supply hose.

Basic location requirements

Electrical

• 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker.
• Individual branch circuit serving only your Washer is recommended.
• Your washer is equipped with a power cord.

CAUTION: Never use an extension cord.

Grounding

Electrical grounding is required for this appliance.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: An improperly connected equipment grounding conductor can increase the risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are not sure whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Important safety precautions: To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.

CAUTION: Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

Water

To correctly fill your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20 to 116psi (137 to 800kPa) is required.

Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve to shut off completely, or may extend the fill time beyond what your washer controls allow, causing your washer to turn off. A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your home if a hose becomes loose.

The water faucets must be within 4 feet (122 cm) of the back of your washer to match the inlet hoses provided with your washer.

NOTE

Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet (275 cm) for faucets that are further away from the back of your washer.

To avoid the possibility of water damage:

• Have water faucets easily accessible.
• Turn off faucets when the washer is not in use.
• Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fittings.

WARNING: Check all connections at the water valve and faucet for leaks

Drain facility

The recommended height of the standpipe is 39 in (99 cm). The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached to the washer at the factory.

Flooring

For best performance, you must install your washer on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibration which can cause your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.

Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

Location considerations

Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always retain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water can damage the belts, the pump, hoses, and other components.

Alcove or closet installation

Minimum clearances for closet and alcove installations:

If the washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least a 72 in2 (465 cm2) unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specific air opening.

Recessed area

Side view - closet or confined area

Installation flow chart

Step-by-step installation

STEP 1: Selecting a location

NOTE: Before you install the washer, make sure the location:

• Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation.
• Is away from direct sunlight.
• Has adequate ventilation.
• Is not exposed to freezing temperatures (temperatures under 32 °F or 0 °Q.
• Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas.
• Has enough space so that the washer doesn’t rest on its power cord.

STEP 2: Connecting the water supply hoses

CAUTION: Before installing the water supply hoses, make sure there are rubber gaskets (B) inside the couplings (A) at both ends of each new water hose. Installing the water supply hoses without rubber gaskets can cause water leakage.

CAUTION: When you initially install the washer, be sure to use new hoses. Failing to do so may result in a water leakage or overflow and may damage your property.

CAUTION: Do not connect multiple water supply hoses together to increase the length of the supply hose. Hoses connected this way can leak and the leakage can cause electrical shock. If a hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.

1. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the hot and cold faucets.

2. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with pliers.

CAUTION: When you fasten the fittings, do not fasten them too tightly or apply tape or sealant to the faucets or water supply intakes. This can damage the fittings.

NOTE: After you have connected the water supply hoses to the faucets, ensure that they are connected correctly by pulling the water supply hoses downwards.

3. Place the unconnected ends of the hoses into a bucket and open the faucets connected to the two water supply hoses for 10 or 15 seconds to remove any foreign substances from the hoses. Close the faucets before continuing.

4. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply intake connections at the back of the washer.

CAUTION: The water supply hose connected to the hot faucet must be connected to the hot water supply intake and the water hose connected to the cold faucet must be connected to the cold water supply intake.

5. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with a plier.

NOTE: To ensure the correct water usage, connect both the hot and cold water faucets. If either or both are not connected, the washer will display a "4C" (no fill) code when you run it.

NOTE

If you do not want to use the hot water supply hose, insert the water intake cap onto the hot water supply intake. Then, select Tap Cold for the water temperature.

If you select Tap Cold, all water temperature options are turned off.

CAUTION: Confirm that the water supply hoses are not twisted or bent. If the hoses are twisted or bent, the hoses can leak and cause electric shock due to water leakage.

6. Turn on the hot and cold water supplies and check the water supply intake connections and the faucets for water leaks.

STEP 3: Connecting the drain hose

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

In a wall standpipe or floor standpipe

The standpipe must be no lower than 39 in (99 cm) and no higher than 96 in (245 cm)

If the drain pipe is built into the wall along side of the water faucets (A), fasten the drain hose to the water hoses using a plastic zip hose tie.

NOTE: Make sure that the connection between the drain hose and the standpipe is not airtight.

In a laundry tub

The tub must be no lower than 39 in (99 cm) and no higher than 96 in (245 cm).

Assemble the supplied Hose guide at the end of the drain hose, attach the hanger to laundry tub as shown, and then fasten the hose to a leg of the laundry tub using a plastic zip hose tie.

NOTE: Conect the hose guide (A) within 3-5 in (7.6-12.7 cm)* from the end of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended beyond the end of the hose guide, mold or microorganisms could spread inside the washer.

NOTE: The drain hose can be installed to a maximum height of 96 in (245 cm), but the draining capability can be reduced at this height. It can cause the washer to have an odor because of water remaining in the drain system.

NOTE: If the drain hose is installed below 39 in (99 cm), water can be drained in cycles due to a siphon phenomenon. It causes the washer to display a “AC.

STEP 4: Leveling your washer

See if the washer is level by checking the position of the tub:

1. Slide the washer into position.

2. Open the lid of the washer, and pour water into the tub to just below the pulsator level.

NOTE: WA54M8750A* models have a built-in sink over the pulsator level. Open a built-in sink and check the level visually.

3. If the washer is level, the pulsator (A) will be positioned at the center of the tub as shown in the figure on the previous page. If it isn't, level your washer by turning the front leveling feet clockwise or counterclockwise as necessary.

NOTE: Turn the front leveling feet clockwise (B) to lower the washer, and counterclockwise (C) to raise the washer.

STEP 5: Powering your washer

Plug the power cord into a 3-prong, well grounded. 120 volt 60 Hz, approved electrical outlet protected by a 15-amp fuse or comparable circuit breaker.

Your washer is grounded through the third prong of the power cord when plugged into a three-prong grounded electrical outlet.

Test run

NOTE: Do not put chlorine bleach in the dispenser drawer.

Loading the Liquid (or Powered) detergent compartment

1. Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the detergent compartment before starting your washer.
2. if you are using color-safe bleach, add it with the detergent to the detergent compartment.

NOTE: When adding color-safe bleach with detergent, it is best if both laundry products are in the same form - liquid.

NOTE: When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent compartment (A) from the detergent drawer. The washer will not dispense powdered detergent from the liquid detergent compartment.

Loading the Bleach compartment

CAUTION: Use liquid chlorine bleach only.

1. Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment (B)

DO NOT overfill the bleach compartment.

NOTE

• Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the tub. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the fibers or color loss, if not used properly.
• If you prefer to use color-safe, nonchlorine bleach, add it to the appropriate detergent compartment.

DO NOT pour color-safe bleach into the Bleach compartment.

Loading the fabric softener compartment

1. Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the softener compartment (C).

For smaller loads, use less than one capful.

2. Dilute the fabric softener with water until it reaches MAX FILL in the compartment.

3. The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the rinse cycle.

NOTE

• Use the softener compartment ONLY for liquid fabric softeners.
• DO NOT use the Downy Ball* in the fabric softener compartment with this washer. It will not add fabric softener at the appropriate time.

Use the detergent compartment.

(* Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.)

• Do not use liquid fabric softener that is too thick or sticky. It may not mix with the water sufficiently.

Maintaining your washer

WARNING: The control board, heat sink, motor, inlet valve and pump are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing.

Cleaning the exterior

1. Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day's washing.

This will shut off the water supply to your washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from escaping water. Leave the lid open to allow the inside of your washer to dry out

2. Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach, or other spills as they occur.

3. Clean the control panel with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel.

Cleaning the interior

Clean the interior of your washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew, or bacterial residue that may remain in your washer as a result of washing clothes.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant conditions, including odors and/or permanent stains on your washer or laundry.

Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use cleaners labeled "Washer safe".

Storing your washer

Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage.

Prepare your washer for storage as follows:

1. Select the Quick Wash cycle and add bleach to the automatic dispenser. Run your washer through the cycle without a load.
2. Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.
3. Unplug your washer from the electrical outlet and leave your washer lid open to let air circulate inside the drum.

If your washer has been stored in below-freezing temperatures, allow time for any leftover water in your washer to thaw out before use.

Protecting the top cover and the front frame

Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent box on the washer. They can scratch or damage the top cover of the unit.

NOTE: Since the enitre washer has a high-gloss finish, the surface can be scratched or damaged. Avoid scratching or damaging ihe surface when using the washer

Cleaning mesh filter

Clean the mesh filters in the water inlets once or twice a year

1. Turn off the washer, and then unplug the power cord.

2. Close the faucet

3. Loosen and disconnect the water hoses from the back of the washer. Cover the hoses with a doth or towel to prevent water from gushing out.

4. Use pliers to pull out the mesh filter from the inlet valve.

5. Submerge the mesh filter deeply in water so that the threaded connector is also submerged. Carefully remove any debris from the filter.

6. Dry the mesh filter completely in a shaded area.

7. Reinsert the mesh filter into the inlet valve, and reconnect the water hose to the inlet valve.

8. Open the faucet

NOTE: If the mesh filter is clogged, the “4C" information code appears on the the washer’s display screen

Cleaning the dispensers

The automatic dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to laundry additive buildup.

1. Pull the dispenser drawer straight back until it stops.

2. Push in both sides of the drawer at the back simultaneously.

When you feel the sides move inward, pull out the dispenser drawer.

3. Remove the inserts from the 3 compartments. Rinse the inserts and the drawer with warm water to remove traces of accumulated laundry products.

4. Use a small, non-metal brush (for example, a toothbrush) to clean the drawer opening and the recess. Remove all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess.

5. Return the inserts to their proper compartments, and then replace the drawer by placing the dispenser drawer rail (B) on top of the compartment rail (A) (To make this easier, tilt the dispenser drawer downward and insert it).

Then push the drawer in firmly and slowly.

Self Clean

Self Clean is a self-cleaning cycle that removes mold that may occur inside the washer.

1. Press Power

Once Self Clean is selected, the only function that can be set is Delay End.

3. Press and hold Start/Pause. The Self Clean cycle starts.

CAUTION

• Using Self Clean, you can clean the drum without using a cleansing agent.
• Never use Self Clean when laundry is in the washer. This may cause damage to the laundry or a problem with the washer.

NOTE: The Self Clean Auto Led Function

• If the "Self Clean" LED is lit after a wash, it means that tub (drum) cleaning is required. Remove the laundry from the washing machine, turn the power on. and clean the drum by running Self Clean.
• If you do not run Self Clean, the “Self Clean” LED turns off. However, the "Self Clean” LED will light again after five washes. Not running Self Clean at this point will not cause a problem with the washing machine. However, we strongly recommend you run a Self Clean cycle as soon as possible to remove mold and prevent unpleasant odors.
• Although the Self Clean Auto LED lights once a month or so. the frequency may differ depending on the number of times the washing machine is used.

Wash cycle

Water temperature

NOTE: This represents appropriate wash water temperatures for various items. The temperature range for Hot is 105° -125 *F / 41" - 52 X, for Warm 85° - 105 °F / 29° - 41 °C. and for Cold 60“ - 85 °F / 16“ -29 °C. (Wash water temperature must be a minimum of 60 °F / 16 °C for detergent activation and effective cleaning.)

The clothes washer can not ensure these temperatures because the actual temperature of the water entering your washer depends on water heater settings and regional water supply temperatures. For example, cold water entering the home in the northern states during winter may be 40 °F / 4 °C which is too cold for effective cleaning, in this situation, you will need to adjust the water temperature by selecting a warm setting, adding some hot water to the MAX FILL line, or using your washer's heating option, if available.
