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 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

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
116 psi (137 to 800 kPa) 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.

(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
ttings.
WARNING

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

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.

STEP 2 Connecting the water supply hoses
B
A
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 overow 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.

Installation
1. Connect the ends of the water supply
hoses to the hot and cold faucets.
2. Tighten the ttings by hand until they
are snug, and then tighten them an
additional two-thirds of a turn with
pliers.
CAUTION
When you fasten the ttings, do not fasten
them too tightly or apply tape or sealant to
the faucets or water supply intakes. This can
damage the ttings.
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.

Installation
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 ttings 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 ll) 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
Conrm 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
A
The end of the drain hose can be positioned
in three ways:
In a wall standpipe or oor 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.

Installation
*
A
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
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 “4C”.
STEP 4 Leveling your washer
A
Level Not Level
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.

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.
• Space the clothes evenly to enhance washing efciency and performance and prevent
excess wear or wrinkling of the clothes.
• 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.
• Wash bulky items (comforters, blankets, etc.) in the Bedding/Waterproof cycle only. Do
not wash bulky items using any other 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 washing or
drying process.
• Regardless of their size,it is safer and more effective to wash blankets or quilts one
item at a time. Two different-sized blankets in the same load may compromise drying
performance because the load is unbalanced.
To insert a blanket
Fold the blanket into the blanket-specic
net as shown, and then insert it into the tub
below the plastic area of the tub.
CAUTION
Make sure the laundry is inserted completely.
• Laundry that is not completely inserted
into the tub may cause damage to the
washer or the laundry itself, or cause a
water leak.
• Do not overload the tub. Make sure no
laundry is left outside of the tub.

ATC (Auto Temperature Control)
The ATC function controls wash water
temperature using the washer's built-in
temperature sensor (thermistor).
NOTE
By reacting to changes in external and
internal temperatures, the ATC function
maintains the correct wash temperature
for each cycle, providing the best washing
performance while using the least amount
of energy.
NOTE
New washers must reduce the amount of
energy usage as a rst priority. When you
use the most commonly used wash cycle,
Normal (which is the regulation and UL
cycle), you will notice more cold water
entering the washer as an energy saving
step. This is normal.
In the Normal cycle, the hot water
temperature is similar to acceptable adult
bath water temperature and warm water
temperature is similar to comfortable
swimming-pool water temperature.
NOTE
If you want to wash clothes at different
water temperatures, you should choose a
different cycle, and then choose a specic
temperature (Hot/Warm/Eco Warm).

The basics
Prewash (Water Jet & Built-in sink)
Water Jet function and the Built-in sink let you
hand-wash items before you place them in
the washing machine. The Water Jet function
is available only when the lid is open and the
water level is set to less than High. To hand-
wash, use the Built-in sink that is designed to
facilitate hand-washing.

[Draining water added by the Water Jet
function]
• Select a cycle and press START/PAUSE.
The washer drains the water.
• If the washer is off before it starts the
wash cycle, it drains the water added by
the Water Jet function. However, if you
turn the washer off during a wash cycle
to use the Water Jet function, and then
turn the washer back on, it does not
drain the water.
NOTE
• The Water Jet function supplies water
through the Mist Shower nozzle for 1
second when it is rst activated after
the washing machine turns on, and then
through the Water Jet nozzle.
CAUTION
• Do not over-use the Water Jet
function. Excessive use increases water
consumption.
• When pouring water from the Built-in
sink into the tub, do it gently. Otherwise,
water may overow and spill out of the
tub.
• Use caution when removing laundry
from the tub. You may bump your head
on the Built-in sink.
• Do not block the Water Jet outlet with
hands. Water may leak outside the tub,
causing a system failure.
• Put only clothes to prewash in the Built-
in sink. Do not clean shoes, wash food,
or wash pets in the Built-in sink.
• Do not open the Built-in sink quickly.
Water remaining in the sink may splash
on the lid or control panel.
• Due to differences in air pressure, water
coming from the Water Jet outlet may
splatter when you rst activate it.
• Make sure the lid is closed tightly before
you start a load of laundry.

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.

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 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 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.

NOTE
This represents 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 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.
