• An incorrectly connected equipment-grounding conductor
can increase the risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are not sure whether your washer is
grounded correctly.
• Do not modify the power cord plug that came with your washer.
lf the plug does not fit the outlet, have the correct type outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
• 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.

that you do not use a regular detergent. HE detergents contain
suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds
maximized.
Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the quality of
cleaning. Make sure that you:
- Pre-treat stains.
- Sort carefully by color and soil level.
- Avoid overloading.
1. Turn on you washer
- Turn cycle selector to the desired cycle to
turn the washer on.
2. Load your washer
Caution
Before loading your laundry, make sure that you remove coins, keys,
and other hard objects and close zippers. These items may damage
clothes and the washer.
Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color, and load size.
Fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes. Load the tub no more than
3/4 full.
NOTE:
possibly cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.
Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery and other lingerie on the
Delicates cycle with similar lightweight items.

When washing big, bedding items (such as rugs or pillows) or a few
do not fill the tub completely, add a few towels to improve spin
performance.
Always use the BULKY cycle for bedding items.
When washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload your washer
to ensure good cleaning results.
3. Add detergent and additives to the compartment
Loading the liquid or powder detergent
compartment
Loading liquid or powder detergent in the
compartment indicated.
Pour the recommended amount of laundry
detergent directly into the compartment
before starting your washer.
If you are using color-safe bleach, add
it with the detergent to the detergent
compartment.
NOTE:
When adding color-safe bleach with detergent, both laundry
products should be in the same form (liquid).
If no detergent compartment, you should add the detergent into
the tub.
Loading PODs in the washer
First load PODs directly the bottom of an empty basket
Then add clothes on top of the PODs
NOTE:
Loading PODs at the bottom of the basket will improve wash
performance and will enable detergent to dissolve more easily in
the wash.
Loading the bleach compartment (liquid bleach only)
Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. Do
not over-fill the compartment.
There is no water inlet to the bleach dispenser, so
the bleach will directly load into the tub when you
pour it in.
Caution
Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment.
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load
or into the tub. Doing so can damage fabrics, by weakening of the
fibers or stripping the color.
NOTE: Do not pour color-safe bleach into the bleach compartment.
Instead, add it to the detergent compartment.
