• During the wash cycle, a flashing light indicates the current wash/rinse cycle
program.
• Rapid flashing indicates that the washer is not operating properly.
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 small items. They can easily slide into
the tub and cause damage to the tub.
6
English
• Pre-treat all stains and heavily soiled areas for best results.
• Do not overload your washer.
• Close the door 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.
Lint Filter and Water Filter
• The Lint filter is located inside the washer drum. A small nylon bag collects lint
and residue from clothes during the wash cycle.
Note: Do not wash your clothes without the filter in its compartment
inside the tub.
• You must clean the filter after every load for the best results. Push down the tab
in the filter to remove. Clean and slide the filter back in place.
• There is also a filter in the water inlet valve. This prevents foreign particles in
the water from entering the washer. Clean this at least once a month.

English
Selecting the Wash Cycle
• Press the "Program Select" button for your desired wash cycle. Choose between
6 options.
• The total time includes the normal water inlet time and drain time. The total
washing time may be affected by the water inlet pressure and water level.
• The spin time is the time from the intermittent running to the finishing of the
cycle.
• In the "Heavy" program, the first soak is approximately 20 minutes,
pre-wash is approximately 8 minutes. Clothes are soaked again for
approximately 5 minutes. The washing, rinsing and spinning will then be
completed. The wash time includes the pre-wash time.
• In the "Quick Wash" program select wash, rinse and spin are set automatically.
No procedure can be selected after setting.
Note: When you turn the power ON, the machine will set the standard wash
program to the wash/rinse/spin position.
Selecting the Water Level
• There are 4 water levels to chose from: Very Low, Low, Medium and High. Your
selection may depend on your wash load.
Note: Incoming hot water must not exceed 122˚F/50˚C.

Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for
the electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounded plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
• Improper use of the plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
• Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Wiring Requirements
• This appliance must be plugged into at least a 15 AMP 110-120 VOLT,
60 HZ GROUNDED OUTLET.
Note: Where a standard two-prong outlet is
encountered, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the
consumer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong outlet.
X
Extension Cords:
We do not recommend that you use an extension cord.
Power Interruptions
Occasionally, there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other
causes. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet when a power outage occurs.
When power has been restored, re-plug the power cord to AC outlet. If the outage lasts for a prolonged period of time, clean the washer before using it again.
15
Proper Care and Cleaning
English
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 lint filter must be cleaned before each use for optimal efficiency. DO NOT
USE YOUR WASHER WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER IN PLACE.
• 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.

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 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.
