ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

ENGLISH

The washer must be connected to a properly grounded 120 Volt, 60 Hz.,

AC only, 15 Amp, fused electrical supply. A time-delay fuse or circuit

breaker is recommended.

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

licensed electrician.

WARNING

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

1,000 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

GETTING STARTED

1. Turn the cycle selector knob to power on the washer and active the LCD screen.

2. Continue turning the knob to select the desired wash cycle. The selected cycle

will blink on the LCD screen.

3. Preset wash/rinse temperatures and spin speed will also blink on the LCD screen.

WASHING METHODS

SORTING AND PREPARATION

• Separate whites, darks, light colors and non-colorfast garments.

• 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 delicate) and by the amount of soil.

• Close zippers, snaps and hooks.

• Empty pockets and turn them inside out.

• Remove pins or other sharp objects from clothes to prevent scratching

interior parts.

• Repair loose seams and minor tears.

• Pre-treat spots, stains and heavily soiled areas.

• Load each garment loosely; do not place folded items into the washer.

• Do not overload the washer.

• Close the door properly after loading clothes. Take care to ensure that garments

are not caught in the gasket.

ENGLISH

WARNING

If you intend to use the Drying option, load the washer only half full with clothes. Do not completely fill the washer with a full load. Clothes must have

room to tumble freely in the drum.

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.

ENGLISH

Use only High

Efficiency (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.

WARNING

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.

WARNING

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 Efficiency 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.

WARNING

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.

ENGLISH

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, do not dry items containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

WARNING

Load the machine half-full with clothes. Do not completely fill the drum with a

full load. Clothes must have room to tumble freely in the drum.

CARE AND CLEANING GUIDE

ENGLISH

WARNING

Always unplug your appliance to avoid electric shock before cleaning. Ignoring

this warning may result in death or injury. Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Use a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning control panel.

• To avoid any kind of damage to cabinet finish, wipe appliance cabinet as needed. If you spill liquid/powdered softener, bleach or detergent on the cabinet, wipe cabinet immediately because it can damage the finish.

• Do not use any abrasive, harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated

detergent, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your appliance.

• The Detergent Dispenser Compartment has a removable insert. Over time, this compartment may accumulate dried detergent, dirt and debris. You must remove the insert, then rinse in a sink or remove debris with a soft brush.

CLEANING THE BUTTON TRAP

The Button Trap is designed to capture small loose items such as buttons and coins,

and prevent them from damaging your machine.

1. Press down on the release latch to hinge forward the access panel.

2. Turn the trap counterclockwise to unlock and remove. Remove debris from the

trap and rinse clean.

3. Reinsert the trap and turn clockwise to lock in place. Close the access panel.

NOTE: A small amount of water will drain from the trap. Use a shallow pan or place a

towel on the floor before removing the Button Trap.

NOTE: The button trap should be cleaned once a year.

ENGLISH

CAUTION

Take care when reinserting the trap. Make sure it is properly seated and locked in place to avoid potential leaks.

VACATIONING PRECAUTIONS
