• The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.
• Do not overload the outlet with more than one appliance.
• The outlet must be grounded in accordance with current electrical wiring codes and regulations.
• Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

NOTE

• It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the product owner to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Flooring

1. To minimize noise and vibration, the washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
2. Allowable slope under the entire washer is a maximum 1 inch difference from side to side or from front to back.
3. Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is not recommended.
4. Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

Floor Installation

• To ensure sufficient clearance for water lines, the drain line and airflow, allow minimum clearances of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 inches (10 cm) behind the unit.
• Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.

Connecting the Water Lines

1. To avoid the risk of costly water damage, purchase and install new inlet hoses when installing the washer.
2. Check the fittings and seals.
3. Inspect the threaded fitting on each hose and make sure there is a rubber seal in place in both ends of each hose to prevent leaking.

Rubber seal Rubber seal

• Water hose (to water inlet on washer)
• Water hose (to tap)

Connect the water supply hoses.

• Connect the water supply hoses to the hot and cold water faucets tightly by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Connect the blue hose to a cold water faucet and the red hose to a hot water faucet.

Flush out the inlet hoses.

• After connecting the inlet hoses to the water faucets, turn on the water faucets to flush out foreign substances (dirt, sand or sawdust) in the water lines. Let water drain into a bucket, and check the water temperature to make sure you've connected the hoses to the correct faucets.
• Attach the water lines to the back of the washer.
• Attach the hot water line to the hot water inlet on the back of the washer. Attach the cold water line to the cold water inlet on the back of the washer.
• Tighten the fittings securely. Turn ON both faucets all the way and check for leaks at both ends of the hoses.

NOTE

1. Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks, and wear, and replace the hoses every five years. Do not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and make sure that they are not pinched, crushed or kinked by other objects.
2. Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi and 120 psi (138 – 827 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more than 120 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.
3. To provide optimum washing performance, the hot water temperature should be set at 120 – 135 °F
4. C) and the cold at 60 °F (15 °C).
5. The washer should never be installed or stored in a location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the water lines and internal mechanisms of the washer can result. If the washer was exposed to freezing temperatures prior to installation, allow it to stand at room temperature for several hours before use and check for leaks prior to operation.
6. Do not use flood-preventing hoses with auto shutoff devices. The devices can be tripped during fill and prevent the machine from filling properly

Connecting the Drain Hose

• Connect the drain hose to either a standpipe or laundry tub.

NOTE

• The drain hose should always be properly secured.
• Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in flooding and property damage.
• The drain must be installed in accordance with any applicable local codes and regulations.
• Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.
• Do not install the drain hose with the end lower than inches (75 cm) or higher than 96 inches (244 cm) above the bottom of the washer or more than inches (152 cm) away from the washer.
• Never create an airtight seal between the hose and the drain with tape or other means. If no air gap is present, water can be siphoned out of the tub resulting in poor wash/rinse performance or clothing damage.
• Normal height of the end of the hose should be approximately 35 inches (89 cm) to 47 inches (120 cm) from the floor.

Leveling the Washer

• The tub of the washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a level, solid surface.

NOTE

• Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the washer to vibrate.
• Before installing the washer, make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Feet that move or slide on the floor can contribute to excessive vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor.

Position the washer in its final location.

• Take special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain lines. If you have a carpenter’s level, you can use it to check that the washer is level.
• The slope beneath the washer should not exceed 1 inch, and all four leveling feet must rest firmly on the floor.

Level

1. Open the lid (door) and look from above to see if the tub is centered.
2. If the tub is NOT centered, readjust the front feet.
3. If you have a level, check the washer with the level.

NOTE

• To check if the washer is level from side to side, place a level on the back edge of the lid (door).
• To check if the washer is level from front to back, place a level at the side of the washer on the edge where the cabinet side meets the top cover.
• Do not place the level on the top of the lid (door).
• Using these surfaces will result in the washer being unlevel.

Level from side to side

1. Level from front to back
2. Adjust the lower leveling feet.
3. Turn in one direction to raise the washer or the other direction to lower it.

Raise Lower

• Recheck the washer’s levelness.
• Push or rock the top edges of the washer gently to make sure the washer does not rock. If the washer rocks, repeat steps 1-3.

Testing the Washer

• Check if the washer is properly installed and run a test cycle.
• Make sure the tub is empty. Do not load anything in the tub for this test.
• Press the Power button then immediately press and hold both the Spin and Soil buttons until an code appears in the display. (See below for a key to the codes.)
• Press the Start/Pause button.
• The washer will start the test, which will last about minutes. The test automatically checks the water inlet hoses and the drain hose.
• Check the display for results.
• If error code is displayed, refer to the following guide.'

For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, care should be taken to sort the clothing into loads that are made up of similar items. Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash performance, color transfer, discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described below.

Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in a separate load from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.

Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.

Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavier or sturdier fabric types. Washing heavier fabrics in a delicate load can result in poor wash performance for the heavier fabrics and possible damage to the delicates.Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector – knit sweater; lint producer – terry cloth towels.)

OPERATION

Sort laundry and load the washer.

• Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color and load size, as needed. Open the lid (door) and load items into the washer.

Add cleaning products.

• Add the proper amount of HE (High-Efficiency) detergent to the detergent dispenser. If desired, add bleach or fabric softener to the appropriate dispensers.

Turn on the washer.

1. Press the Power button to turn on the washer.
2. The lights above the cycle buttons will illuminate and a chime will sound.

Select a cycle.

• Turn the cycle selector knob or press the cycle buttons repeatedly until the desired cycle is selected. The preset wash temperature, spin speed, soil level and option settings for that cycle are shown.
• Pressing the Start/Pause button without selecting a cycle will cause the Normal cycle to begin immediately.

Adjust settings.

• Default settings for the selected cycle can now be changed, if desired, using the cycle modifier and option buttons.

NOTE

1. Not all modifiers and options are available on all cycles. A different chime sounds and the LED does not light up if the selection is not allowed.
2. Begin cycle.
3. Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle.
4. The lid (door) locks, and the washer agitates briefly without water to measure the weight of the load.
5. Additional garments can be added to the tub while the Add Garment light is on.
6. The Add Garment light illuminates near the beginning of the wash cycle to indicate when it is safe to add items to the load. Press the
7. Start/Pause button to pause the cycle and add garments to the load. Press the Start/Pause button to resume the cycle.

NOTE

• Adding items after the Add Garment light turns off may result in poor wash performance.
• End of cycle.
• When the cycle is finished, a melody sounds.
• Immediately remove the clothing from the washer to reduce wrinkling.
• If the washer includes lint filters, remember to check them after every 2 to 3 loads.

Grouping Similar Items

• For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, care should be taken to sort the clothing into loads that are made up of similar items.
• Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash performance, color transfer, discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described below.

Colors

• Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in a separate load from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.

Soil Level

• Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.

Fabric Type

• Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavy or sturdy fabric types. Washing heavy fabrics in a delicate load can result in poor wash performance for the heavy fabrics and possible damage to the delicates.

Lint Type

• Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the same load.
• Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector—knit sweater; lint producer—terry cloth towels.)

Sort Laundry

Loading the Washer

• Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins, matches, etc. can damage clothing and the washer.
• Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to prevent snagging or tangling of clothes.
• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half of total load.
• Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy blankets, comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds can get tangled or cause an unbalanced load if combined with other items.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub should not be tightly packed with items. The lid (door) of the washer must close easily.

• Do not wash single small items. Add 1-2 similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance load.
• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water resistant must be washed in the Waterproof cycle only. (e.g. water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, plastic mats, etc.) Otherwise, it may result in personal injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.
• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small items can get caught in the impeller at the bottom of the tub, and brassiere hooks can damage other items or the tub.
• Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items before washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade other fabrics and lead to poor wash performance.
• The washer will not fill or operate with the lid (door) open.

Using the Detergent and Softener

1. Dispensers
2. To add detergent and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser:
3. Open the dispenser drawer.
4. Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.
5. Liquid fabric softener compartment
6. Main wash liquid detergent compartment

Insert

• Main wash powder detergent compartment
• Close the drawer completely before starting the cycle.
• Be careful not to catch a hand in the drawer while closing.

Main Wash Detergent Compartment

• This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used in this compartment.
• The detergent is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle.
• Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washer.

NOTE

• Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.
• When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid detergent compartment and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
• When using powdered detergent, remove the insert and liquid detergent compartment from the dispenser. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent compartment and insert in place.
• If you use a detergent that does not dissolve easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will leave a residue and clog the dispenser.
• Fabric Softener Compartment
• This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.

NOTE

1. Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding softener. Using too much fabric softener can result in buildup in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used.
2. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes.
3. Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water.
4. Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the tub.

Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser

• The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment at the left front of the tub opening.

Type 1

• The bleach dispenser is connected to the inlet valve.
• The bleach is automatically diluted and dispensed at the proper time in the wash cycle.

NOTE

The dispenser is activated twice to ensure complete dispensing of the bleach. Any liquid remaining in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach.

Detergent Use

1. This washer is designed for use with only HE (HighEfficiency) detergents. HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and machine damage.
2. For proper wash performance, always measure detergent using the measuring device provided by the detergent manufacturer. For an average load, use less than half of the recommended maximum.
3. Use less detergent for soft water, light soil, or smaller loads.
4. Never use more than the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. Using too much detergent can lead to oversudsing, poor rinsing, detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the machine.
5. Use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a small amount extra can lead to problems.
6. Detergents designated as HE-compatible may not provide optimal results.
7. Do not use more than one detergent pod in the washer. Using too much detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance.
8. Reduce detergent amount or add an extra rinse if detergent residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra rinse, press the Extra Rinse button.
