WASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or

“WARNING.” These words mean;

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

ADANGER

AWARNING

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.

IMPORTANT safety INSTRUCTIONS

immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the washer.

Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.

Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door or lid.

Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is moving.

Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.

Do not tamper with controls. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or

attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in published user-repair instructions

that you understand and have the skills to carry out. See “Electrical Requirements” for grounding instructions.

Electrical Requirements

AWARNING

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected washer:

This washer must be grounded. In the event of a mal function or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resist ance for electric current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and ground ed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or electrical shock.

A 120-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-ampere, fused electrical supply is required. Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong ground plug.

To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, ground-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Do not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the

washer is properly grounded. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is prop erly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

For a permanently connected washer:

This washer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

FEATURESAND

BENEFITS

SENSOR SMART’^'^ Electronic Controls

Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert.

Smart Dispensers

The smart dispensers make your washer truly automatic. This washer provides a three-compartment dispenser which includes separate compartments for detergent, fabric softener, and bleach. The dispenser has large pour zones, is self-cleaning, and can be easily removed. Laundry products are diluted with fresh water and added to the load at the proper time in the wash cycle.

Auto Water Level

Adjusting to the size of the load, this feature allows the washer to use the minimal amount of water needed to clean and rinse the clothes. With a low water level, you can obtain the same results with smaller amounts of additives. Because only the required amount of water is used, the washer saves energy, too.

CATALYST® Cleaning Action with Direct Injection

A concentrated detergent solution is sprayed onto the clothes at the beginning of the cycle to ensure that the detergent comes into contact with the clothes as quickly as possible, removing stains from your clothes without pre-treating.

Larger Load Size

Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items like an average size sleeping bag. You are also able to wash more olothes at one time, which means fewer loads. You can wash a pillow or a large stuffed teddy bear.

High-Efficiency Wash System

Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with

fewer, larger loads, conserves resources and lowers your water

and energy bills too.

Spin Speeds

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the

cycle selected. This factory setting can be changed, however.

This washer offers up to four different spin speed choices.

Automatic Temperature Control (АТС)

АТС electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature. АТС regulates incoming hot and cold water. The АТС is automatically turned On when a cycle is selected.

Add A Garment

When lighted, the Normal/Casual, Fleavy Duty, and Whitest Whites cycles can be paused and the door unlocked so you can add a garment that may have been forgotten when loading the washer. The ADD A GARMENT status light will stay lit for the first 8 minutes of a cycle.

Adaptive Variable Speed Motor

The motor adapts to the load size and to the cycle selected to

give optimum cleaning, rinsing, and spinning conditions. The motor can handle slow speeds needed for wool and delicate items and is powerful enough to drive a large clothes load into a 900 rpm spin.

Dynamic Balance

A precision balancing system that allows the washer to reach

spin speeds of 900 rpm. The washer spins faster so that clothes coming out of the washer will dry faster. In addition, if the Dynamic Balance system detects off balance loads during spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that they are evenly balanced.

Suspension System

To reduce washer “walk” and “off-balance” conditions, your new washer combines:

■ 2 Springs to isolate vibration

■ 4 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement

Stainless Steel Drum

The Stainless Steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time.

Page 11

WASHER USE

AWARNING

Fire Hazard

Me¥er place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of

oil on it (including cooking oils).

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, elecfric shock, or injury to

persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

The following is a guide to using your washer. Please refer to

other sections of this manual for more detailed Information. Do not store laundry products on the top surface of this washer.

Vibration is normal during operation.

First Wash Cycle Without Laundry

Before washing clothes for the first time, choose NORMAL/ CASUAL cycle and run it without clothes. After installation, if a complete cycle has not been run without clothes, use y normal recommended amount of powdered or liquid High Efficiency (HE) detergent or Vi the normal recommended amount of regular powdered or liquid detergent. This initial cycle serves

to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.

1. To load the washer

Open the washer door by pulling on the handle. Sort laundry according to color and type of fabric. Place a load of sorted clothes in the washer. Do not overload washer. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.

■ The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close easily.

■ Mix large and small items. Avoid washing a single item.

Load evenly.

2the

rubber rim at the front of the tub for small items.

2. Olose the washer door by pushing it firmly until the lock

clicks. The washer door will remain locked during the wash cycle.

NOTE: After any wash cycle Is completed, the door must be opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin. The door can be opened only if PAUSE/CANCEL is selected while the ADD A GARMENT light is glowing or if the cycle has been canceled. See “To Cancel a Cycle.”

3. Open the Dispenser Drawer and add laundry products to the

detergent, bleach, or fabric softener compartments. Close drawer slowly to avoid spills. See “Using the Dispenser.”

NOTE: For best performance, use High Etfficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” The HE'’ “wash action” along with less water could create too much sudsing with a regular detergent.

4. Turn on the washer by selecting one of the WASH CYCLES.

The indicator light for the selected cycle will glow. When selecting a Wash Cycle, the preset options, Water Temp, Spin Speed, and soil level for the selected cycle will glow. The display shows the estimated time remaining. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See “Cycles.”

5. Select the desired OPTIONS. Not all Options are available

with all cycles. See “Options.”

6. Select the desired MODIFIERS. Not all Modifiers are available

with all Cycles and Options. See “Modifiers.”

helpful when you are washing items that should be removed from the washer as soon as it stops. Select HIGH or LOW.

8. To begin the wash cycle immediately

Select and hold START (for approximately 1 second).

■ If you do not select START within 5 minutes of choosing a cycle, the washer automatically shuts off.

■ When the wash cycle is complete, the CLOTHES CLEAN status light glows, the door unlocks, and the wash load can be removed from the washer. The washer powers down automatically 5 minutes after the cycle is complete and the CLOTHES CLEAN light goes off. To power down the washer manually after the wash cycle is complete, select PAUSE/CANCEL once.

9. To begin the wash cycle later

Select DELAY until the desired delay time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display. Select START. The countdown to the wash cycle will show in the display window.

fSli

Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate compartments for your laundry products—one is for detergent, one is for liquid chlorine bleach, and one is for liquid fabric softener. Laundry products are diluted and dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to add them.

It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.

Do not put laundry additives directly into the wash tub. Always use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.

Choosing the Right Detergent

For best washing performance, use a High Efficiency (HE), or low-sudsing, detergent. Regular detergents may cause oversudsing in the washer. If an HE detergent is unavailable, use Va the recommended amount ot regular detergent.

Most detergents formulated for hand-washing are not meant for front-loading washers and may cause oversudsing. Start with V-x the recommended amount. If oversudsing occurs, try a detergent formulated for high efficiency washers.

To fill dispenser compartments

1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.

2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment.

3. Push in the dispenser drawer carefully and completely (to

avoid spillage).

Delaying a cycle: Use only powdered detergents. Powdered detergents will remain in the dispenser until the cycle begins, but liquid detergents may seep out of the compartment during the delayed time.

Do not fill beyond the “MAX” level. Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the

Main Wash compartment along with the same type of detergent, liquid or powdered.

Liquid detergent: Put the SEPARATOR in the front position, between the guides, as shown following. There will be no gap between the bottom of the wash cycle detergent compartment and the bottom of the separator.

Soil Level

(hr:nnin)

Water Temp Spin Speed

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and normally soiled garments. This cycle combines fast speed

tumbling, longer wash time, and high speed spin to shorten

drying times.

Normal/Casual

Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle combines medium speed tumbling, high speed spin, and a load cooling process to reduce wrinkling.

Delicate

Use this cycle to wash sheer fabrics and lingerie. This cycle combines low speed tumbling and low speed spin for gentle

fabric care.

Ultra Handwash

Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care garments. Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of extra low speed tumbling and soaking. Extra low speed spin reduces wrinkling.

Extra Cycles

Extra Cycles can be chosen by selecting the button above the desired cycle.

Rinse / Spin

Drain / Spin

You can change the selection anytime before START is selected.

Rinse/Spin

Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines

fast speed tumbling and high speed spin. If desired, you can

reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the SPIN SPEED modifier.

Rinse/Spin is useful for

■ Loads that need rinsing only.

■ Adding fabric softener to a load using the fabric softener dispenser.

Whitest Whites

This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on your laundry. This cycle combines fast speed tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying time.

Drain/Spin

Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is preset to high. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the SPIN SPEED modifier.

NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, handwashables, and woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin to avoid

fabric stress.

As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not

accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is locked and unlocked and during the washing, rinsing, and spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds and pauses are part of normal washer operation. (See “Troubleshooting.”)

LAUNDRY TIPS

Preparing clothes for washing

Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.

■ Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buokles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

■ Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.

■ Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.

■ Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.

■ Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

■ Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

■ Treat spots and stains.

■ Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results.

Unloading

■ Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed. Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if left in the washer basket for a long period of time.

WASHER CARE

Cleaning the exterior

Use a soft damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills. Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking new. Use mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive products.

Cleaning the interior

Use a soft damp cloth or sponge to occasionally wipe the inner door to remove any detergent residue. Use mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive products.

Cleaning the door seal

Use a soft damp cloth or sponge when necessary. Check the fold of the seal periodically for any foreign objects.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

The dispenser drawer is removable for easy cleaning.

Unlock the dispenser drawer by pressing the Release Lever. See “Using the Dispenser.” Remove the drawer.

Remove the inserts {the siphon from the softener and bleach compartments and the separator).

Wash the parts under running water.

Replace the Inserts and return the dispenser to the drawer.

Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses, record the date of replacement.

To winterize washer:

1. Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the drum.

2. Run washer on a DRAIN/SPIN cycle.

3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

4. Shut off both water faucets.

5. Disconnect water inlet hoses from faucets and drain. To use washer again:

1. Flush water pipes.

2. Reconnect water inlet hoses to faucets.

3. Turn on both water faucets.

4. Plug In washer or reconnect power.

5. Run the washer through the NORMAL/CASUAL cycle with Va

the normal recommended amount of detergent to clean out antifreeze.

To transport the washer:

1. If washer will be moved during freezing weather, put in 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the drum. Run washer on a DRAIN/SPIN cycle.

2. Unplug the power cord.

3. Disconnect the drain hose from the drain system and attach

to rear panel clips.

4. Shut off both water faucets.

5. Disconnect the water Inlet hoses from faucets, then drain the

hoses and clip them to the rear panel of the washer.

6. Do not reuse transport bolts. Unit must be transported in the upright position.

Re-installing the washer

1. Follow the “Installation Instructions” to locate, level and connect the washer.

2. Run the washer through the NORMAL/CASUAL cycle with Va

the normal recommended amount of detergent to clean the washer and remove the antifreeze, if used.

Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because

some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather, winterize it.

Non-use or vacation care:

Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time, you should:

■ Unplug washer or disconnect power.

■ Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid

accidental flooding {due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.

■ Slightly open door to provide ventilation.

Page 18

TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call...

Washer displaying code message and tone sounds

■ “HF” (Water Inlet Problem—no or insufficient water

supply)

Select PAUSE/CANCEL twice to cancel the cycle. Unplug

washer or disconnect power.

Check the following:

Are water faucets completely turned on? Are screens at inlet hose connection to washer clogged? Are water inlet hoses kinked? Are water inlet hoses frozen?

Plug in washer or reconnect power. Re-select cycle and press START. If the problem remains, call for service.

■ “F02” (Drain Problem)

Select PAUSE/CANCEL twice to cancel the cycle. Unplug

washer or disconnect power.

Check the following:

Is the drain hose kinked? Is the drain hose frozen? Is the drain hose clogged? Is the drain hose more than 96 in. (2.4 m) above the floor?

■ “SUD” (Suds Routine)

When excessive suds are detected, a suds routine

automatically starts. This routine removes extra suds and assures proper rinsing of your garments. "SUD" is displayed during rinsing and at the end of the cycle to inform you that Suds Routine was activated. To avoid excessive sudsing, reduce detergent amounts or use HE detergents.

■ “F” Variables [F4 to F16] (Electrical Problem)

Select PAUSE/CANCEL twice to cancel the cycle. Select DRAIN/SPIN if there is excessive water in the washer.

Re-select cycle and press START. If the problem remains, call

for service.

Washer won’t start

Check the following:

Is the power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet? Is the washer door firmly shut? Has a cycle been selected, but START has not been selected

and held for one second?

Was the door open after completion of last cycle?

Washer won’t fill, wash or rinse

Check the following:

Is the power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet? Is there power at the plug? Check electrical source or call

electrician. Are the hot and cold water faucets turned on? Is the water inlet hose kinked? Are the water inlet valve screens clogged?

Washer stops

Check the following:

Is the power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet? Is there power at the plug?

Check electrical source or call electrician. Has a fuse blown or has the circuit breaker tripped?

If problem continues, call electrician. Are you using an extension cord?

Do not use an extension cord.

Washer won’t drain or spin

Is the drain hose clogged, or the end of the drain hose more than 96 in. (2.4 m) above the floor?

Is your voltage low?

Check electrical source or call electrician. Do not use an extension cord.

Is the “SUD” routine active?

Cycle will complete once extra suds are removed.

Is the load balanced?

A single or bulky item may cause imbalance. Add more items or redistribute the load.

Washer makes noise or vibrates

■ Is the washer level?

The washer must be level. The four feet should be properly installed, and the nuts should be tightened against the washer cabinet.

As water is drained from the washer, you may hear air being pulled through the pump. This happens during the end of draining. It is normal.

■ Are you washing items with metal snaps, buckles or

zippers?

You may hear metal items touching the washer drum. This is normal,

■ Is washer installed on a sturdy and solid floor?

Refer to the “Installation Instructions” for flooring requirements. Noise and vibration may be reduced by placing a piece of % in. (19.1 mm) plywood underneath your washer. The plywood may extend underneath both washer and dryer to keep them at equal heights.

Water near washer

Check household plumbing for leaks.

Page 19

Dispensers clogged or leaking

Are the laundry products in the correct dispenser compartment?

Add the correct amounts ot detergent, fabric softener or liquid chlorine bleach to the correct compartments. Add powdered or color-safe bleach to the detergent compartment.

Is the detergent separator in the correct position?

Separator should be in the front position when using liquid detergent and in the back position when using powdered detergent.

■ Did you properly sort the load?

Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.

■ Did you unload the washer promptly?

To avoid dye transfer, unload the washer as soon as it stops.

■ Did you use a fabric softener dispensing ball?

Dispensing balls will not operate correctly with this washer. Add liquid fabric softener to the fabric softener compartment.

■ Did you use powdered detergent in a low speed cycle?

Consider using liquid detergent.

Load is wrinkled

Load too wet

Did you use the right cycie for the load being washed?

Select a cycle with a higher spin speed.

Did you wash a single item or buiky items or have you overloaded the washer?

A single item, bulky items, or overloading may cause imbalance. Add items or try to evenly distribute your wet laundry in the drum, and start a DRAIN/SPIN cycle. If the laundry is still wet, take half of the load out of the washer and try again.

Residue or lint on ioad

■ Did you add detergent to the dispenser?

For best results, add detergent to the detergent compartment. Do not add detergent to the washer drum.

■ Did you sort properly?

Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Also, sort by color.

■ Did you overload the washer?

Do not overload the washer. The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed. The wash load must be balanced. Lint can be trapped in the load if overloaded.

■ Check the following:

Was paper or tissue left in pockets?

■ Did you use enough detergent?

Follow manufacturer’s directions. Use enough detergent to hold the lint in the water.

■ Is your water colder than 70°F (21 °C)?

Wash water colder than 70°F (21 °C) may not completely dissolve the detergent.

■ Are you using a low speed wash cycle?

Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow speed cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent for slow speed cycles like Delicate and Ultra Hand Wash.

Stains on ioad

■ Did you add detergent to the dispenser?

For best results, add detergent to the detergent compartment. Do not add detergent to the washer drum.

■ Did you use enough detergent?

Use enough detergent to remove soil and hold it in suspension. For best performance, use a High Efficiency detergent. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for the type of load you are washing.

■ Is there above average iron (rust) in water?

You may need to install an iron filter.

Did you unload the washer promptly?

Unload the washer as soon as it stops.

■ Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?

Use the Delicate cycle or another cycle with a low spin speed to reduce wrinkling.

■ Did you overload the washer?

The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads should tumble freely during washing.

Gray whites, dingy colors

■ Did you properly sort the load?

Dye transfer can occur when mixing whites and colors in a load. Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.

■ Was the wash temperature too low?

Use hot or warm washes if safe for the load. Hot water should be at least 120°F (49°C) to clean heavy soils.

■ Did you use enough detergent, or do you have hard

water?

Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard water.

Cycle too long

Is “SLID” shown in the display?

Excessive sudsing has been detected, and a suds routine has been started to destroy excessive suds. This routine will add time to the original cycle.

Did the load cause imbalance?

When too much imbalance occurs, an imbalance routine will start to distribute the load. This routine will add time to your original cycle.

Door locked at end of wash cycle

Did all of the water drain out of the washer during the spin?

Select DRAIN/SPIN to remove any water remaining in the washer. The washer door will unlock at the end of the drain.

SEGURIDAD DE LA LAVADORA

Su seguridad y la seguridad de los demás es muy importante.

Hemos incluido muchos mensajes importantes de seguridad en este manual y en su electrodoméstico.

Lea y obedezca siempre todos los mensajes de seguridad.

Este es el símbolo de advertencia de seguridad. Este símbolo le llama la atención sobre peligros potenciales que pueden ocasionar la muerte o una lesión a usted y a los demás.

Todos los mensajes de seguridad irán a continuación del símbolo de advertencia de seguridad y de la palabra “PELIGRO” o “ADVERTENCIA”. Estas palabras significan:

Si no sigue las instrucciones de inmediato, usted

APELIGRO

AADVERTENCIA

Todos los mensajes de seguridad le dirán el peligro potencial, le dirán cómo reducir las posibilidades de sufrir

una lesión y lo que puede suceder si no se siguen las instrucciones.

INSTRUCCIONES IMPORTANTES DE SEGURIDAD

ADVERTENCIA: Para reducir el riesgo de incendio, choque eléctrico o lesiones a personas al usar su

lavadora, siga las precauciones básicas, incluyendo las siguientes:

puede morir o sufrir una lesión grave.

Si no sigue las instrucciones, usted puede morir o sufrir una lesión grave.

Lea todas las instrucciones antes de usar la

lavadora. No lave artículos que hayan sido previamente

limpiados, lavados, remojados o humedecidos con gasolina, solventes para lavar en seco, u otras sustancias inflamables o explosivas ya que éstas emanan vapores que podrían encenderse o causar una explosión.

No agregue gasolina, solventes para lavar en seco, u otras sustancias inflamables o explosivas al agua de lavado. Estas sustancias emanan vapores que podrían encenderse o causar una explosión.

En ciertas condiciones, puede generarse gas hidrógeno en un sistema de agua caliente que no se haya usado por dos semanas o un período mayor. EL GAS HIDRÓGENO ES EXPLOSIVO. Si no se ha usado el agua caliente durante dicho período, antes de usar la lavadora, abra todos los grifos de agua caliente y deje que corra el agua por varios minutos. Esto liberará todo el gas hidrógeno que se haya acumulado. Debido a la inflamabilidad de dicho gas, no fume ni use una llama abierta durante este lapso.

GUARDE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES

No permita que los niños jueguen encima o dentro de la lavadora. Es necesario una supervisión cuidadosa de los niños toda vez que se use la lavadora cerca de ellos.

I Antes de poner la lavadora fuera de servicio o

desecharla, quítele la puerta o la tapa.

I No introduzca las manos en la lavadora si el tambor,

la tina, o el agitador están funcionando.

I No instale ni almacene esta lavadora donde pudiese estar

sometida a la intemperie. I No trate de forzar los controles. I No repare ni cambie pieza alguna de la lavadora ni

La selección de una ubicación apropiada para su lavadora realza el rendimiento y reduce al mínimo el ruido y la posible “caminata” de la lavadora.

La instalación de su lavadora puede ser debajo de un mostrador hecho a la medida, en un sótano, en un cuarto de lavandería, en un clóset o en una zona empotrada. (Vea “Sistema de Desagüe”.)

Deberá tenerse en cuenta también los requisitos para la ubicación de otro electrodoméstico acompañante. La instalación correcta es responsabilidad suya.

Usted necesitará

■ Un calentador de agua fijado para suministrar a la lavadora el agua a 120°F (49°C).

■ Un contacto eléctrico con conexión a tierra ubicado a una distancia de 5 pies (1,5 m) del lugar donde el cable eléctrico está fijado a la parte posterior de la lavadora. (Vea “Requisitos eléctricos.”)

■ Los grifos de agua caliente y de agua fría ubicados a una distancia de no más de 4 pies (1,2 m) de las válvulas de llenado del agua caliente y fría y una presión de agua de 20 100 psi (137,9-689,6 kPa).

■ Un piso nivelado con un declive máximo de 1 pulg. (2,5 cm) debajo de la lavadora. No se recomienda instalar la lavadora sobre pisos alfombrados.

■ Un piso resistente y firme que soporte la lavadora con un peso total (del agua y de la carga) de 400 libras (180 kg).

No ponga a funcionar su lavadora a temperaturas inferiores a 32°F (0°C). Puede quedar algo de agua en la lavadora y podría ocasionar daños a bajas temperaturas.

Dimensiones de la lavadora

Instalación personalizada debajo del mostrador

Las dimensiones que se ilustran son para el espacio mínimo permitido.

Instalación en zona empotrada o en el clóset

Las dimensiones que se ¡lustran son para el espaoio mínimo permitido.

1. Vista lateral - clóset o zona cerrada

2. Puerta del clóset con orificios de ventilación

Para facilitar la instalación y el mantenimiento se debe considerar espacios adicionales.

Quizás sea necesario dejar espacios libres adicionales para las molduras de pared, puerta y piso.

Para reducir la transferencia de ruidos se recomienda espacios libres adicionales de 1 pulg. (2,5 cm) en todos los lados de la lavadora.

Para la instalación en un clóset, con una puerta, son necesarias las aberturas de ventilación mínimas en la parte superior e inferior de la puerta (vista 2). Son aceptables las puertas con persianas que tengan aberturas de aire equivalentes en la parte superior e inferior.

Se puede instalar la lavadora utilizando el sistema de desagüe por tubo vertical (en el piso o en la pared), el sistema de desagüe por el lavadero, o el sistema de desagüe por el piso. Seleccione el método de instalación de la manguera de desagüe que usted necesite. (Vea “Piezas alternativas.”)

Page 27

Sistema de desagüe por tubo vertical - en la pared o en el

piso (vistas 1 y 2)

El desagüe por tubo vertical necesita un tubo vertical con un diámetro minimo de 2 pulg. {5 cm). La capacidad mínima de desagüe no puede ser menor de 17 gal (64 L) por minuto.

La parte superior del tubo vertical debe estar a una altura mínima de 30 pulg. (76,2 cm) y máxima de 96 pulg. (2,4 m) de la parte inferior de la lavadora.

Sistema de desagüe por el lavadero (vista 1)

El lavadero necesita una capacidad mínima de 20 gal. (76 L). La parte superior del lavadero debe estar a una altura mínima de 30 pulg. (76,2 cm) del piso.

Sistema de desagüe por el piso (vista 2)

La desviación del sifón debe estar a una distancia mínima de 28 pulg. (71 cm) de la parte inferior de la lavadora. Quizás necesite mangueras adicionales.

Se necesita un suministro eléctrico de 120 voltios, 60 hertzios, CA solamente, de 15 ó 20 amperios y protegido con fusibles. Se aconseja el uso de un fusible retardador o cortacircuitos. Asimismo se recomienda el empleo de un circuito separado sólo para este electrodoméstico.

Esta lavadora viene equipada con un cable eléctrico dotado de un enchufe con tres terminales y conexión a tierra.

Para reducir el peligro de posibles choques eléctricos, el cable debe conectarse en un contacto que tenga 3 terminales y conexión a tierra de conformidad con los códigos y ordenanzas locales. Si no dispone del contacto apropiado, es obligación y responsabilidad del cliente contratar a un electricista competente para que instale el contacto debido con conexión a tierra.

Si los códigos lo permiten y se utiliza un cable a tierra separado, se recomienda verificar con un electricista competente si el circuito de conexión a tierra es el adecuado.

No derive la conexión a tierra hacia una tubería de gas. Si no está seguro de que la conexión a tierra de la lavadora

sea la adecuada, verifíquela con un electricista competente. No coloque un fusible en el circuito neutro o de conexión a

tierra.

Acción de limpieza catalizadora CATALYST® con inyección

directa

Una solución concentrada de detergente rocía las prendas en el comienzo del ciclo para asegurarse de que el detergente entre en

contacto con las mismas tan rápido como sea posible, quitando las manchas de las prendas sin un tratamiento previo.

Cargas más voluminosas

Debido a que no tiene agitador, usted puede lavar artículos más voluminosos y más grandes como bolsas de dormir. También puede lavar más ropa a la vez, lo que significa menor cantidad de lavados. Usted puede lavar una almohada o un oso de peluche grande.

Sistema de suspensión

Para reducir los problemas de la “caminata” y el “desequilibrio” de la lavadora, su nueva lavadora cuenta con;

■ 2 resortes para aislar la vibración

■ 4 amortiguadores en la base de la lavadora para minimizar el movimiento.

Tambor de acero inoxidable

El tambor de acero inoxidable elimina la corrosión y permite velocidades más altas, logrando mayor extracción del agua, que a su vez reduce el tiempo de secado.

Sistema de lavado de alto rendimiento

Su nueva lavadora de carga frontal y alto rendimiento ahorra

tiempo con lavados más voluminosos y menor número de veces,

conserva los recursos y también reduce sus gastos de agua y electricidad.

Velocidades de exprimido

Esta lavadora selecciona automáticamente la velocidad de exprimido según el ciclo seleccionado. Sin embargo, se puede modificar este ajuste de fábrica. Esta lavadora ofrece un máximo de cinco opciones distintas de velocidad de exprimido.

CARACTERISTICAS

Y BENEFICIOS

Controles electrónicos SENSOR SMART’^'^

Los controles electrónicos flexibles son fáciles de usar tanto sea usted principiante o experto.

Depósitos inteligentes

Los depósitos inteligentes realzan la calidad automática de su lavadora. Esta lavadora proporciona un depósito de tres compartimientos, el cual incluye compartimientos separados para el detergente, suavizante de telas, y blanqueador líquido con cloro. El depósito tiene zonas grandes para el vertido; es de limpieza automática y se puede quitar con facilidad. Los productos de lavandería se diluyen con el agua y se incorporan a la carga de ropa en el momento oportuno del ciclo de lavado.

Nivel del agua automático

Al ajustarse al tamaño de la carga, esta característica permite a la lavadora usar la cantidad mínima de agua que necesita para lavar y enjuagar la ropa. Con un nivel de agua bajo, usted puede obtener los mismos resultados con cantidades menores de aditivos. Al usarse solamente la cantidad de agua requerida, la lavadora también ahorra energía.

Control automático de temperatura (CAT)

El CAT - (Control automático de temperatura) detecta y mantiene electrónicamente una temperatura de agua uniforme. El CAT regula el agua fría y caliente que ingresa. El CAT se enciende automáticamente al seleccionar un ciclo.

Agregado de prendas

Cuando esta luz esté encendida, los ciclos Normal/Informal (Normal/Casual), Lavado intenso (Heavy Duty) y Blancos blanquísimos (VVhitest Whites) pueden hacer una pausa y la puerta se desbloqueará para que usted pueda agregar una prenda que se le pueda haber olvidado cuando estaba cargando la lavadora. La luz indicadora de Agregado de prendas (ADD A GARMENT) permanecerá encendida por los primeros 8 minutos de un ciclo.

Motor adaptabie a veiocidad variabie

El motor se adapta al tamaño de la carga de ropa y al ciclo seleccionado, para proporcionar las condiciones óptimas de limpieza, enjuague y escurrido. El motor puede soportar velocidades lentas para lana y artículos delicados, y es lo suficientemente poderoso como para exprimir la ropa en un giro de 900 r.p.m.

Equilibrio dinámico

Un sistema preciso de equilibrio que permite a la lavadora alcanzar velocidades de exprimido de 900 r.p.m. La lavadora exprime rápidamente de manera que las prendas que salen de la misma se sequen más rápido. Además, si el sistema de equilibrio dinámico detecta que las cargas están desequilibradas durante el exprimido, redistribuye las prendas para que queden uniformemente equilibradas.
