This may result in electric shock or injury due to water leakage.
Do not insert your hand into the detergent dispenser after opening it.
This may result in injury because your hand may be caught.
Do not place any non-Iaundry objects, such as shoes, food waste or
animals into the washer. This can cause abnormal vibrations that can
damage the washer, and in the case of pets, cause severe injury or
death.
Do not press the buttons using sharp objects such as pins, knifes, or
fingernails. This may result in electric shock or injury.
Do not wash laundry contaminated by oils, creams or lotions usually

Electrical requirements
WARNING
To reduce the risk of ire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
Use a 120 Volt, 60Hz, 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker. We recommend an
individual branch circuit that serves only your washer.
WARNING
Never use an extension cord.
Electrical grounding is required for your washer.
You must ground your washer. IN the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for the electric current.
Your washer is equipped with a power cord with a three-pronged
grounding plug for use in a correctly installed and grounded outlet.
The outlet must be correctly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
You are responsible for providing adequate electrical services for
your washer.
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.
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines
or hot water pipes.

Water requirements
To fill your washer in the correct amount of time, the water pressure
needs to be between 14 and 116 psi (100 to 800 kPa).
If the water pressure is less than 14 psi (100 kPa):
The time it takes to fill your washer may be longer than the time
error. A time-limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in
your home if a hose becomes loose.
Water inlet hoses must be purchased separately. You can buy inlet
hoses in various lengths up to 8 ft. (240 cm).
To avoid the possibility of water damage:
Make sure that the water faucets are easily accessible.
Periodically check to make sure that water is not leaking from the
water hose fittings.
Drainage requirements
The recommended height for the drain standpipe is 48 in. (122 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.

Connect the water hoses
NOTE: The water supply hoses are not supplied with your washer and
must be purchased separately.
Caution
Use new water supply hoses. Using old hoses can result in leakage
or overflow that can damage your property.
Do not connect multiple water supply hoses together to increase
the length of the hose. Hoses connected this way can leak and
cause electrical shock. If a hose is too short, replace the hose with a
longer, high-pressure hose.
1. Make sure that there are rubber washers inside the fittings at both
ends of each new water hose. Remove the rubber washers in faucet
side and replace with filters. Installing the water supply hoses
without rubber washers can cause water leakage.
2. Tighten the hose and faucet fittings by hand until they are snug,
then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with pliers or a
wrench. Pull the water supply hoses downwards to make sure that
they are connected securely.

4. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply
intake connections at the top of the washer. Make sure that the
rubber washers are in place. 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.
NOTE: If you do not want to use the hot water supply hose, insert a
water intake cap into the hot water supply intake hole. In this case you
must select the Tap Cold option for the water temperature.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
Selecting a detergent
For the best cleaning results, use an HE detergent. We recommend
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.

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning the exterior
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach, or other spills as they
occur.
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 or permanent stains in your washer or
on your laundry.
To remove hard water deposits, use a cleaner labeled "Washer safe".
Cleaning the control panel
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or
cleaning pads.
Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel. The control panel finish
may be damaged by some laundry pre-treatment soil and stain
remover products. Apply such products away from your washer and
wipe up any spills or over-spray immediately.
Cleaning the detergent, bleach, or softener compartment
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or
cleaning pads.

wipe up any spills or over-spray immediately.
Cleaning the tub
The
TUB CLEAN

of odors that may occur inside your washer without using a cleaning
agent. We suggest cleaning the tub about once a month.
