washer alone does not require a specific air opening.

Top - 17 In. (43.2 cm) Closet Front - 2 In. (5.1 cm)

FLOORING

For best performance, your washer must be installed on a solidly

constructed floor. Wood floor may need to be reinforced to

minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting

and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration and may cause your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.

CAUTION: Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

Kemnole-Washe1-02855A-02 EN.indd 7 2010-07-13 Z- 5:29:16

NOTE: Please note that the floor must be strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washer, when fully loaded,

without flexing or bouncing, If your floor has too much flex in it,

you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. A floor that is

adequate for a top-loading washer may not be rigid enough for a front loading washer, due to the difference in the spin speed and direction. If the floor is not solid, your washer may vibrate and you

may hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.

Grouping Similar items

For the best washing results and to reduce the possibility of damage to the clothing, care should be taken to sort the clothing

into loads that are made up of similar items. Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash performance, color transfer or discoloration, fabric damage or lilting. Fabrics should be

sorted into groups as described below. Colors

Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in a separate

load from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter

clothes. Soil Level

Wash heavily soiled clothes together. Washing lightly soiled clothes

in the same load with heavily soiled clothes could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.

Fabric Type

Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavier or sturdier fabric types. Washing delicates in a load with heavy fabrics can result in

damage to the more delicate fabrics. Washing heavier fabrics in a

delicate load can result in poor wash performance for the heavier fabrics and possible damage to the delicates.

Lint Type

Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint

in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint

producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector - knit

sweater; lint producer - terrycloth towels)

Loading the Washer

• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, matehes, pens, coins, and keys can damage both

your washer and your clothes. Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items

from snagging or tangling on other clothes.

Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.

Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.

Large items should not be more than half of the total wash load.

The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of the washer should close easily.

To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash single items. Add one or two similar items to the load. Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, comforter, or bedspread, should be washed individually.

Do not wash or spin waterproof items, such as rain coats,

sleeping bags, etc. When unloading the washer, check under the door seal for small

items.

NOTE: Make sure the door seal area is clear when closing the door. Overloading the washer can cause items to get caught between the door and the seal. This can damage both the items

and the seal.

ABOUT THE DISPENSER

Automatic dispenser

Your Washer has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and color-safe bleach, chlorine bleach, and fabric softener. Add all

laundry additives to their respective compartments before starting

your Washer. CAUTION:

The automatic dispenser MUST ALWAYS be in place before starting your Washer.

DO NOT open the automatic dispenser when your washer is running.

Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when adding detergent.

This compartment holds liquid detergent for the main wash

cycle, which is added to the load at beginning of cycle.

NOTE: When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent compartment from the detergent drawer. Powdered detergent will not be dispensed from the Liquid detergent

compartment.

Detergent compartment

1.Pour the recommended amount of laundry _ HE (High- Efficiency) detergent directly into the detergent compartment before starting your Washer.

2. If color-safe bleach is to be used, it should be added with detergent to the detergent compartment.

NOTE: When adding color-safe bleach with detergent, it is best if both laundry products are in the same form - powder or liquid.

Bleach compartment

(Liquid chlorine bleach only)

1.Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL line.

2.Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment.

3.Your Washer automatically dispenses bleach into the tub at the

appropriate time.

4.The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before

it reaches the wash load.

NOTE:

Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load

or into the tub. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the fibers or color loss, if not

used properly.

Ifyou prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine bleach, add it to the

appropriate detergent compartment. DO NOT pour color-safe bleach into the Bleach compartment.

Bleach compartment

Fabric Softener

compartment

Liquid detergent --

compartment

Fabric softener compartment

1. Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the

softener compartment.

For smaller loads, use less than one capful.

2.Dilute the fabric softener with water until it reaches MAX FILL in

the compartment.

3.The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the

proper time during the rinse cycle.

NOTE:

• Use the softener compartment ONLY for liquid fabric softeners. Use the detergent Compartment.

Itis not recommended using liquid fabric softener that is too

sticky as it may not mix with the water sufficiently.

DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE

A word about detergents

HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the

interior of your washer clean. Using non-HE detergent may cause oversudsing and

unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle

failure, and machine damage.

Normal load amount

LIQUID DETERGENT POWDERED

DETERGENT

For proper wash performance, always measure the detergent using the measure provided with the detergent by the

manufacturer.

The normal amount needed for average loads is less than 1/2 of the recommended maximum. Use less detergent for soft water,

light soil or smaller loads. Never use more than the maximum

amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer.

Designed to use only HE {High- Efficiency) detergent

Your Washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.

,, For best cleaning results, efficiency detergents such as

Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High efficiency detergents contain suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the load tumbles more

efficiently and cleaning is maximized.

WARNING: Regular detergent is NOT recommended. Please

use only HE detergents. NOTE: Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the

quality of cleaning. It is important to pre-treat stains, sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.

* Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.

IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Careful attention must be paid to the amount of detergent used to avoid

oversudsing, poor rinsing, detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the machine. NEVER use a cup or scoop other than that supplied by the manufacturer of the detergent you are using. Never use more than the maximum amount recommended by the manufacturer of the

detergent.

While HE detergents are designed for this type of washing

machine, care must be used when measuring the detergent. For most normal loads, no more than 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup or scoop

of HE detergent should be used. NOTE: Extra care must be exercised when using 2X and 3X

concentrated detergents because even a little bit extra can contribute to the problems mentioned above.

NOTE: Detergents designated as HE-COMPATIBLE may not provide optimal results.

Filling the Dispenser

To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the automatic

dispenser: 1,Open the dispenser drawer.

2,Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments. 3,Close the drawer before starting the cycle.

NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the bleach and softener compartments at the end of the cycle.

IMPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately. These products can

damage the finish and controls.

TiME AND STATUS DISPLAY

The time and status display shows the estimated time remaining, cycle progress, and door lock status.

m m@

A. ESTIMATED TiME REMAiNiNG C.

When the START/PAUSE is pressed, the washer automatically

detects the wash load (weight) and optimizes the washing

time, based on the selected cycle and options. The display will then indicate the estimated time remaining for the selected

wash cycle.

NOTE:

The time shown is estimated. For example, the time

displayed may pause for a period of time while the machine is balancing the load, Under certain conditions, the machine can pause for extended periods of time,

Estimated time is based on normal operating conditions. Several external factors (room temperature, incoming water temperature, etc.) also affect the length of estimated time

vs. actual time.

B= LOAD-SENSING INDICATOR

This light will illuminate at the beginning of the cycle while the control measures the size of the load. Once the size has

been determined, the control will adjust the cycle for optimum performance. Estimated time remaining will not be displayed

until the load size has been determined and may be different

for each load.

CYCLE STATUS INDICATOR

These status LEDs illuminateto indicate which portion of the

cycle is currently running. A blinking light indicates the active portion of the cycle. When that portion is complete, the light

will remain steady.

DOOR LOCK INDICATOR

Indicates that the door islocked. The washer door will lock while the washer is operating, The door can be unlocked by

pressing the START/PAUSE to pause the washer.

NOTE:

If the temperature in the washer is too high, the door cannot be unlocked until the washer has cooled.

If the water level is too high, the door will not unlock. To drain the water, press POWER, then press the SPIN SPEED

button without selecting a cycle, Press START/PAUSE and the water will be drained and the clothes will be spun out. Do not try to force the door open, as it will damage the

door.

WASH/RINSE

Selects the wash and rinse temperature combination for

the selected cycle. Press the WASH/RINSE button until the

indicator light for the desired setting is lit.

Your washer features a heating element to boost the hot

water temperature for Extra Hot settings. This provides improved wash performance at normal water heater

settings. Select the water temperature suitable for the type of load

you are washing. Follow the garment fabric care labels for

best results. Warm rinses are regulated at approximately 86°F (30°C). Warm rinses leave the clothes drier than cold rinses, but

will result in increased energy consumption and greater

wrinkling of clothes.

Cold rinses use less energy. The actual rinse temperature

depends on the temperature of the cold water at the faucet.

NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/rinse

temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with every cycle. A different chime will sound and the LED will not

come on if a selection is not allowed. See the Cycle Guide on

page 14 for details.

SPIN SPEED Higher Spin Speeds extract more water from clothes, reducing

dITing time and saving energy. Press the SPIN SPEED button until the indicator light for the

desired setting is lit. Some fabrics, such as delicates, require a slower spin speed.

The Drain & Spin cycle:

1.If you press the POWER button and then press and hold the SPIN button for 2 seconds, the spin time will be displayed on the display panel.

2.Then, press the SPIN button repeatedly until the required spin level is selected, and then press the START/PAUSE button.

NOTE: Before pressing the SPIN ONLY button to use the Spin Only function, you can select a cycle with the Cycle Selector.

Ifyou have selected a cycle, you can only select the spin level corresponding to the selected cycle.

SOIL LEVEL

Adjusts the selected cycle to allow more time for heavily soiled

clothes or less time for lightly soiled clothes. Press the SOIL LEVEL button until the indicator light for the desired setting is lit.
