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.

Z_ NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

CAUTION

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 three-prong outlet.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

_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.

/_ NEVER CONNECT THE GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES, OR

....... HOT WATER PIPES.

Water

Using bad quality water may cause the water supply valve to operate abnormally.

To correctly fill your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20-116 psi (137-

800 kPa)is required.

Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, 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 extensive flooding in your

home if an internal 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.

[_ ccessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet/305 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.

CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVE AND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.

WARNING

Drain facility

The recommended height of the standpipe is 18 in/46 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 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. Freezing water can damage the belts,the

pump, hoses and other components.

STEP 1

Removing the Shipping Bolts

Before using your washer, you must remove all shipping bolts from the

back of the unit.

1, Loosen all the bolts with the supplied wrench.

2, Slide the bolt and spacer up and remove the bolt with the spacer

through the hole in the rear wall of your washer. Repeat for each

bolt.

3, Cover the holes with the supplied Bolt Hole Covers (See page 11).

4, Keep the shipping bolts and spacers for future use.

STEP 2

Selecting a Location

_ Before you install your washer, make sure the location:

Has a hard, level surface.

Is away from direct sunlight.

Has adequate ventilation.

Will not freeze (tempuratures are never below 32 °F or 0 °C).

Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas.

Has enough room for the power cord.

Doesn't have any carpeting that will obstruct ventilation openings.

STEP 3

Installing your Washer

1. If you use a standpipe, make sure the connection

between the drain hose and the standpipe is NOT

airtight. The standpipe must be at least 18 in or 46

cm high.

You must always exercise caution to avoid

collapsing or damaging the drain hose. For best

results, the drain hose should not be restricted

in any way - by elbows, couplings, or excessive

length. For situations where the drain hose cannot

be conveniently elevated to at least 18 in or 46 cm,

the drain hose must be supported.

If drain hose is installed below 18"(46cm), water

can be drained in cycle working cause of siphon

phenomenon. It causes the washer to "4E" error.

_ Drain Hose can be installed until 96"(245cm) maximum.

But drain capability can be reduced at this height.

It causes the washer to have an odor because of

remaining water in the drain system.

_ onnect the hose guide within 6"(15cm) from the end of

the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended more than

6"(15cm) beyond the end of the hose guide, mold or

microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.

2. Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside each fill hose.

Thread the inlet hoses to the HOT and COLD faucet connections.

On the other end of the hose, check for one rubber washer per hose

and attach each fill hose to the water valve. Make sure the hose with

Hot printed on it is attached to the HOT faucet. Tighten by hand until

snug, then two-thirds of a turn with pliers.

For correct water use, connect both HOT and COLD water valves. If

either or both are not connected, an "4E" (no fill) error can occur.

ATC (AUTO TEMPERATURE CONTROL)

ATC is the control function that the washer controls water temperaturewith temperaturesensor (thermistor).

_ ecause there are numerous water temperatures depending on the customer's environments (cold

areas, warm areas, various water temperature, settings of heater temperature, ete), ATC function in

our washer maintains the certain level of wash temperature to output the best washing performance at

each cycle.

lf you select normal & heavy duty cycle, those courses are the regulation and UL cycle. Since new

washer must reduce the amount of energy usage at first priority, customer will notice more cold water

entering the washer. But This is Normal, not a problem.

In those regulation cycle, Hot temperature is similar to acceptable adult bath-water temperature and

_warm temperature is similar to comfortable swimming-pool water temperature.

If customer want to wash clothes in specific water temperature, customer should choose a different

cycle at each temperature (Hot/Warm/Eco Warm).

DETERGENT USE

Your Washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.

,, For best cleaning results, use a high efficiency detergent such as

Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE, or Gain HE*. High efficiency detergents

contain suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer

suds are produced, the load tumbles more efficiently and cleaning is

maximized.

/_ Regular detergent is NOT recommended. Please use HE detergents

wAR'--"_,,,only.

_ educing 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, chlorine 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.

Usage Pointers:

,, Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when

adding detergent.

,, This compartment holds liquid detergent for the main wash

cycle, which the washer adds to the load at the beginning

of the cycle.

Detergent holder from the compartment. Powdered

detergent will not dispense from the Liquid Detergent

holder.

,, Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the detergent compartment

before starting your washer.

Pre wash compartment

When using the Pre Wash option, add detergent to both the Pre Wash compartment and the

detergent compartment. The washer will automatically dispense the detergent during Pre Wash.

If you use a high efficiency (HE) detergent, add 1/3 of the recommended amount to the Pre

Wash compartment and 2/3 of the recommended amount to the detergent compartment.

Bleach compartment

(Liquid chlorine bleach only)

1. Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.

DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL line.

2. Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment.

3. Your washer automatically dispenses bleach into the tub at

the appropriate time.

4. The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach

before it reaches the wash load.

_* 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.

Oxi-type boosters or color-safe bleach can be added to

the drum prior to adding laundry.

Put the laundry into the drum only after confirming

that the oxi-type boosters or color-safe bleach has

completely entered the hole of the drum.

To use powdered detergent and powder oxi-type

boosters or powdered color-safe bleach at the same

time, it is more effective to put them in the drum

together before adding the laundry. When you use

powdered detergent, remember to remove the Liquid

Detergent holder from the detergent compartment.

Fabric Softener

** The dot symbols represent appropriate wash water temperatures for various items. The temperature

range for Hot is 105° - 125 °F / 41° _ 52 °C, 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 is dependent 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. The water temperature in this situation will need to be

adjusted by selecting a warm setting, adding some hot water to the MAX FILL line or using your washer's

heating option, if available.
