A potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious bodily injury.

A potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in moderate or minor injury.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

	Wall	Standpipe	Laundry tub
		30” - 39"
		(76 - 99 cm)	30” - 39"
			(76 - 99 cm)

• The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of 2" (50 mm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less than 17 gal. (64 L) per minute.

The drain hose shakes as water is being pumped out of the washer. Make sure that the end of the drain hose is secured to the drain or sink. The support bracket has a mounting hole to assist you in doing this.

• Take care to ensure all hose connections are tight.

IMPORTANT: The end of the drain hose cannot be immersed in water for the combination washer / dryer to work properly.

10

WATER CONNECTIONS

IMPORTANT: Use the new water hoses supplied with the washer. Old hoses should not be used.

1.Check that a flat washer is present and firmly in place in each end of the water inlet hoses. Flat washers are pre-installed at the factory.

NOTE: Do not insert additional washers into the water hoses.

or circuit breaker is recommended.

•If the electric supply provided does not meet the above requirements, contact a licensed electrician.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Risk of injury or death from electric shock.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape route for the electrical current.

•The washer is equipped with a power cord that has a 3 prong plug. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the power cord.

•The power cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, contacted a licensed electrician to have one installed.

•Do not use a 3 prong plug adapter.

•If you are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, contact a licensed electrician.

•Do not use an extension cord.

POSITION AND LEVEL THE WASHER

IMPORTANT: Because the drum of this washer spins at very high speeds, up to 1,200 RPM, the washing machine must rest firmly on a solid surface to minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement. This washer is equipped with four adjustable feet to compensate for an uneven floor.

1.Move the washer into location and position it where it will be used.

2.Level the washer from side to side and front to back. Make sure that all four feet are firmly in contact with the floor and the washer rests solidly in position.

3.Leveling feet can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to extend (raise the washer) or counterclockwise to retract (lower the washer).

4.When the washer is level, use a wrench to securely tighten all four locknuts against the bottom of the washer cabinet.

USING THE DISPENSER

The dispenser drawer is located in the upper left corner of the washer. Open the drawer by pulling it straight out. There are three separate compartments for loading detergent and fabric softener.

Use only High E ciency (HE) detergent.

PREWASH COMPARTMENT

If the "Prewash" option is selected, use only powdered HE detergent in both the prewash and main wash compartments. The compartment will be flushed with water during the prewash.

IMPORTANT: Liquid detergent poured into the main wash compartment will immediately flow into the wash drum and be used during the prewash.

MAIN WASH COMPARTMENT

If the "Prewash" option is selected, use only powdered HE detergent, otherwise liquid HE detergent can be used. The compartment will be flushed with water during the wash cycle.

FABRIC SOFTENER COMPARTMENT

Use liquid fabric softener as recommended by the manufacturer. However, do not exceed the max fill mark shown in the compartment. This is necessary to ensure complete flushing during the final rinse and to avoid overflow in the dispenser drawer.

IMPORTANT: The dispenser is designed to work only with liquid fabric softener. Do not use powdered fabric softener; it will clog the dispenser by not completely dissolving.

DETERGENT

Use only High E ciency detergent. HE detergents are specifically formulated with ingredients to avoid problems caused by too many soap suds. Excess suds will prevent the complete rinsing of

detergent residue from clothes. Washer performance will be diminished by soap build up and damage can occur if soap suds

get into areas of the machine like the condensing dryer compartment.

IMPORTANT: Use only powdered HE detergent when both the Prewash and Main Wash compartments are used. Liquid detergent immediately flows into the wash drum and both amounts would be used during the first wash program.

NOTE: The proper amount of detergent depends on the size of the load, the soil level of the clothes, and the softness of the water being supplied to the washer.

DRYING METHODS

SORTING AND LOADING CLOTHES

•Separate heavy fabrics from lightweight fabrics.

•Separate items that produce lint (flannel, fleece and towels) from items that collect lint (knits, corduroy and synthetic fabrics).

•Sort by fabric type (cottons, permanent press and delicates)

•Permanent press items should be dried together with enough space to tumble freely. Promptly remove garments from the dryer and fold or hang right away.
