INSTALLING YOUR WASHER
1. Sort and prepare your laundry
• Sort garments by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers
from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits and corduroy fabrics will
pick up lint from towels or woolen sweaters.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric label instructions
to avoid damage to your garments.
2. Add detergent and fabric softener:
Without Dispenser
• Add detergent to the bottom of the washer basket before
adding clothes. Load garments in loose heaps evenly
around the agitator.
With Dispenser
• Pour detergent and liquid fabric softener into dispenser.
NOTE: Do not pour detergent or fabric softener onto
clothes. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to
determine the amount to use. Do not use more than the
recommended amount of detergent or fabric softener.
1. Remove shipping material for proper operation and to
avoid excessive noise from washer.
2. Connect drain hoses
Top of standpipe must be at least 990 mm (39") high; install
no higher than 1.22 m (48") from bottom of washer.
IMPORTANT: 114 mm (4.5") of drain hose should be inside
standpipe; do not force excess hose into standpipe or lay
on bottom of laundry tub. Drain hose form must be used.
3. Use of fabric softener
Dilute liquid fabric softener with warm water according to
recommendations on package. Use dispenser or agitator
opening (depending on model).
NOTE: Fabric Softener option must be selected when using
fabric softener or put in during the nal rinse of the cycle.
Do not pour fabric softener onto clothes.
4. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the agitator.
IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack or force items into washer.
Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce
wrinkling and tangling.
5. Select cycle and options
Turn cycle knob to choose your wash cycle. When knob is
lined up with a cycle, you will hear a clicking sound. Once
you select a cycle, the default settings for that cycle will light
up. Select any other cycle settings and options, if desired.
NOTE: Not all options are available with all cycles.
6. Select Start to begin a wash cycle.
3. Connect both water inlet hoses
If you have only one faucet, connect both hoses
through a “Y” adapter.
4. Level washer with oor to reduces excess noise
and vibration.
5. Plug washer into a 3 prong, grounding-type outlet.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter.
