Leveling the Washer

Your washer has 4 adjustable levelfing legs that fis located on the front rfight corner. After properly placing your washer in its final location, you must level the washer.

Warning! An "off-balance" washer will not function properly and can stop. Using a level is best practice.

Loosen the adjustable outer and larger ring of the fixed foot. The leveling leg can be adjusted by turning the center foot counter-clockwise to raise the foot and clockwise to lower the washer. Once the foot is at the right height, then lock that position using the outer and larger ring of the fixed foot.

Note: If the washer is inclined more than 2˚, the machine will not operate.

Caster Option (when supplied or purchased)

This washer can convert from fixed feet to casters for mobility and portability. The best time to change from fixed feet to casters is when installing the bottom panel.

Unscrew and remove the fixed feet.

Screw each of the 4 casters to the bottom base by hand first, then use a wrench to secure the caster's locking bolt to the washer body.

Closing the Top Lid

For safety purposes, the top lid must always be closed during the wash process. If you open the top lid while the wash cycle is in progress, you will observe the following:

• An alarm will sound.

• The tub will not spin while the lid is open.

• If the unit is in wash mode, it will stop running. Simply close the top lid and press the start/pause button to resume the cycle.

Loading the Washer

• Load each item loosely.

Separate the white from the colored clothing. Separate heavy fabrics from light fabrics.

Carefully check all pockets and cuffs for foreign items. They can easily slide

into the tub and cause damage to the tub and/or make disturbing noises during cycles.

Pre-treat all stains and heavily soiled areas for best results.

Do not overload your washer.

Close the door or top lid properly after loading the clothes.

When loading wet items, keep water level high enough to keep the unit in

balance and to allow clothing to float easily in the water.

Proper Use of Detergent

Fill water in the tub at the “Low” water level.

Add the detergent.

Load the washer.

Select the water level.

Note: The amount of detergent used depends on the size of the load, the water type (hard or soft) and whether the clothes are heavily soiled or lightly soiled. Besides the performance of the washing machine, the quality of the detergent also affects the wash result. For best results, use low sudsing detergents only. Refer to the detergent manufacturer’s recommended amount for usage.

Proper Use of Bleach

Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s chart for the recommended use of liquid bleach. Dilute the bleach and add it to the water before putting clothes into the washtub.

Warning! Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach onto the washer cabinet or onto clothing. It is a strong chemical that may damage your clothes and the finish of the washer if not properly diluted.

20

English

PROPER CARE AND CLEANING

Warning! Always unplug your appliance before cleaning to avoid electric shock. Ignoring this warning may result in personal injury or death. Before using cleaning products, always read and follow the cleaning product manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury and product damage.

General Cleaning and Maintenance

Use only a damp or sudsy cloth to clean the control panel.

To avoid any kind of damage to the cabinet finish, wipe the appliance cabinet as needed. If liquid/powdered softener, bleach or detergent is spilled onto the

cabinet, wipe the cabinet immediately because it may cause damage to the finish.

Do not use any abrasives, harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergent, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these chemicals and materials may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your appliance.

Remove pins and other sharp objects from clothing to prevent scratches on interior parts.

The filter screen of the water inlet valve may become blocked by soil and residue. Please clean it with a brush monthly.

Long Absences / Moving

Turn OFF the water supply faucets and disconnect the hoses. Drain water from all hoses. This will prevent damage from water leakage if the hoses are accidentally ruptured or if they become loose.

Disconnect the electrical plug.

Dry the inner washtub. If moving the washer, disconnect the drain hose.

To prevent mold and mildew, leave the door open so that the moisture inside the machine can evaporate.

Reinstall the foam base/Styrofoam at the bottom of the unit to prevent internal parts from becoming damaged due to vibrations and shock when the washer is being moved to another location.

Normal Operating Sounds

The following sounds are normally heard during the operation of the washer:

Tumbling sounds can be heard as heavy wet clothes in the washer are tossed around continuously.

Air rushing noise is the result of the washtub spinning at a very high RPM.

Clicking sounds are caused by the wash and rinse cycles turning ON and OFF.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Before calling for service, determine the symptoms and follow the suggested solutions:

Washer does not operate:

Check if the unit is plugged in. The plug may have come loose.

Check if the electrical wall receptacle is of proper voltage.

Check if the circuit breaker needs to be reset or if the fuse needs to be replaced.

Check if the washer is overloaded. Reload and redistribute the clothing to rebalance the machine.

Check if the door is open. You may have to close the door properly.

Check if the program selections are set properly. You may have to adjust the settings.

Check the Power “ON/OFF” button to see if it is in the OFF position. You may need to press the button to set it in the ON position.

Check if the “Start/Pause” button is on “Pause” mode. Press this button to start the wash process.

The wash process is paused. This is normal. The clothing sensor is checking to

verify that there are clothes inside the washtub. Water will be added approximately 48 seconds later.

The pulsator pauses during incoming water flow in the wash and rinse cycle. This is normal. This prevents splashing during water inlet.

The washer may need to be reloaded and the clothes may need to be rebalanced.

Problems with water:

Not enough water is coming in - The water faucet may need to be fully turned ON. Water hose may be tangled or bent; straighten the hose. Check the water level selection. It may need to be readjusted. This may cause the wash program to pause for a few minutes after water inlet.

Water leaks - This is due to improper installation of the drain hose or fill hose. Your home drain may be clogged. You may need to tighten the hose, check the plumbing or call a plumber. Water may also leak if the machine is

overloaded or if too much detergent is used.

Water does not drain - This is due to improper installation of the drain hose. You may need to connect the drain hose properly. Check the position of the drain hose. The drain hose may be clogged or bent.

Water flows out of the drain hose during the first use of the machine - This may be the water left in the tub after the factory inspected the unit to test its performance in order to ensure the best quality.

Washer makes noises:

Washer may need to be reinstalled and leveled. Refer to the washer installation section.

Wash load may need to be rebalanced, as the load may be uneven.

Coins, loose change, buttons or other heavy objects may be making the noise.

A squeaking sound may be due to an overloaded wash tub.

Vibration noises are due to an improper leveling of the washer or an uneven distribution of clothing in the tub.

Problems with clothing:

Clothes are too wrinkled – Clothes have been improperly sorted or the machine has been overloaded. Do not mix heavy clothes such as work clothes with light clothes such as blouses, light shirts and delicate items.

Clothes have soap residue – The detergent may not be dissolving in the water. Check the water temperature or add detergent as the washtub is being filled with water (before you load your clothes) to avoid soap residue on clothes. Liquid detergent is recommended.

Clothes are ripped or have holes - Sharp objects such as pins and belt buckles were left in the washtub. You must remove small, loose, sharp objects. Fasten belts, zippers, metal snaps etc. Check if you are using undiluted bleach. Never add undiluted bleach to the wash.

Other:

The spinning is intermittent when it starts – The laundry needs to be balanced to avoid slanting. Move the laundry around to equalize the load.

The “Spin” does not work in Program Select – The program is setting the drain time. Spinning will start in a few minutes.

During the final spinning, it stops, the “Rinse” indicator lights up and the washer starts to fill with water – The wash load is slanting on one side. After the water is filled, the slanting will be removed and the spinning will be reactivated.
