•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 qualied
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 t the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.
Important safety precautions
To prevent unnecessary risk of re,
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 ll 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 ll time beyond what your
Washer controls allow, causing your Washer
to turn off. A time limit is built into the
controls to prevent ooding in your home if
a hose becomes loose.

Installation
The water faucets must be within 4 feet
(122 cm) to 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
ttings.
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 oor.
Wood oors 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.

The end of the drain hose can be positioned
in three ways:
In a Wall standpipe or Floor standpipe
The height of end of standpipe must be no
lower than 39 in (99 cm) and no higher than
96 in (245 cm)
If drain pipe are built into the wall with
water valves (A), fasten the drain hose to
the water hose.
NOTE
•Make sure that the connection between
the drain hose and the standpipe is not
airtight.
In a laundry tub
The height of the tub must be no lower than
39 in (99 cm) and no higher than 96 in (245
cm)

NOTE
Connect 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 96
in (245 cm) maximum, but the draining
capability can be reduced at this height.
It can cause the washer to have an odor
because of remaining water 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 “4C”.
STEP 4 Leveling your washer
A
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
the water into the tub to just below the
pulsator level.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
Loading your washer
•Fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes evenly around in order to enhance washing
efciency and prevent excess wear, or wrinkling of the load.
•For optimal washing performance, make sure the laundry is piled up evenly.
•Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery, and other lingerie in the Delicates cycle with
similar lightweight items.
•When washing big bulky items or a few smaller items that don’t ll the tub completely
– a rug, a pillow, stuffed toys, or one or two sweaters, for example – add a few towels to
improve spin performance.
•Do not insert bulky items except for Bedding in this cycle.
NOTE
During the spin cycle, the washer may add additional water to redistribute the clothes and
correct an imbalance inside the drum.
•When washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload your washer to ensure good cleaning
results.
CAUTION
•Inatable items may cause damage to the laundry or the machine during the wash or
drying process.
•Regardless of the size, blankets or quilts are safer and cleaner to wash one item at a time.
Two different-sized blankets in the same load may compromise the drying performance
due to unbalanced loads.
To input a blanket
Fold the blanket into the blanket-specic net
as shown, and then insert in the tub below
the plastic area of the tub.
CAUTION
Make sure the laundry is inserted
completely.
•Any exposed part of the laundry may
cause damage to the machine or the
laundry itself, or a water leak.
•Do not overload the tub. Make sure no
part of the laundry is exposed outside of
the tub.

ATC (Auto Temperature Control)
ATC is the control function that the
washer controls water temperature with
temperature sensor (thermistor).
NOTE
Because there are numerous water
temperatures depending on the customer’s
environments (cold areas, warm areas,
various water temperatures, settings of
heater temperature, etc.), ATC function in our
washer maintains the certain level of wash
temperature to output the best washing
performance at each cycle.
NOTE
If you select NORMAL cycle, this cycle is the
regulation and UL cycle. Since new washers
must reduce the amount of energy usage as
a rst priority, customers will notice more
cold water entering the washer. But, this is
normal, not a problem.
In those regulation cycles, Hot temperature
is similar to acceptable adult bath-water
temperature and warm temperature is
similar to comfortable swimming-pool water
temperature.
NOTE
If customers want to wash clothes in specic
water temperatures, customers should
choose a different cycle at each temperature
(Hot/Warm/Eco Warm).

Washing a load of laundry
Detergent use
Your washer is designed to use high
efciency (HE) detergents.
•For the best cleaning results, use a high
efciency detergent such as Tide HE,
Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High
efciency detergents contain suds
suppressors that reduce or eliminate
suds. When fewer suds are produced,
the load tumbles more efciently and
cleaning is maximized. (* Brand names
are trademarks of their respective
manufacturers.)
WARNING
Regular detergent is not recommended. Use
HE detergents only.
NOTE
Reducing the amount of detergent
may reduce the quality of cleaning. It
is important to pre–treat stains, sort
carefully by color and soil level, and avoid
overloading.

Features
Automatic dispenser
Your washer has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and color-safe bleach and
fabric softener. Add all laundry additives to their respective compartments before starting
your washer.
The automatic dispenser must always be in place before you start your washer.
DO NOT open the automatic dispenser when your washer is running.
NOTE
•Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent.
•This compartment holds liquid detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the
load at the beginning of the cycle.
•When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent compartment from the
detergent drawer. The washer will not dispense powdered detergent from the liquid
detergent compartment.
To add detergent to the automatic dispenser:
1. Open the dispenser drawer.
2. Load the recommended amount of liquid
(or powder) detergent into the detergent
compartment before you start your
wash.
3. Close the drawer slowly and smoothly
to avoid spilling, splashing, or premature
dispensing of the contents.
NOTE
It is normal for a small amount of water to
remain in the dispenser compartments at
the end of the cycle.
NOTE
Do not put chlorine bleach in the dispenser
drawer.

Washing a load of laundry
Loading the Liquid (or Powder) detergent compartment
A
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

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.

WARNING
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 nishing
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 following as recommended:
Control Panel – Clean 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.

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
