CONNECTING THE WATER LINES

vIMPORTANT: Use new hoses when installing the washer. Do NOT reuse old hoses.

vIMPORTANT: ONLY use new, high-quality inlet hoses when installing this laundry product. Aftermarket hoses

DUH QRW JXDUDQWHHG WR oW RU IXQFWLRQ FRUUHFWO\ 2WKHU hoses may not tighten correctly and could cause leaks. Subsequent damage to product or property will not be covered under the terms of the product warranty.

vWater supply pressure must be between 20 psi and 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more than 120 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.

vPeriodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and wear, and replace the hose if necessary.

vMake sure that the water lines are not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.

vThe washer should never be installed or stored in a location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the water lines and internal mechanisms of the washer can result. If the washer was exposed to freezing temperatures prior to installation, allow it to stand at room temperature for several hours before use and check for leaks prior to operation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE

vThe drain hose should always be properly secured. Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in pRRGLQJ DQG SURSHUW\ GDPDJH

vDo not install the end of the drain hose lower than 29 in. (73.7 cm) or higher than 96 in. (243.8 cm) above the bottom of the washer.

vThe drain must be installed in accordance with any applicable local codes and regulations.

vMake sure that the drain hose is not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.

NOTE:

A drain hose extension kit is available if the drain hose is not long enough. Do not extend the drain hose more than 6 feet (2m), as this will

cause poor draining, which will result in poor wash and spin performance.

Drain Hose

Install the end of the drain hose into the elbow bracket. Do not extend the drain hose more than 4 inches

(10 cm) past the end of the elbow bracket. Use a tie strap to secure the drain hose in place.

NOTE:

vTotal height of the hose end should not exceed 96 in. (243.8 cm) from the bottom of the washer.

vThe drain hose should be inserted no more than 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) into the standpipe. Inserting more than 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) can cause mold or microorganisms to spread to the inside of the washer.

If the water valves and drain are built into the wall, fasten the drain hose to one of the water hoses with the tie strap (ribbed side on inside).

HOW TO USE

SORTING WASH LOADS

 

Fabric Care Labels

Loading the Washer

Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label. Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option selections to care for your clothing according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Grouping Similar Items

For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, care should be taken to sort the clothing into loads that are made up of similar items.

0L[LQJ GLçHUHQW IDEULF W\SHV DQG RU VRLO OHYHOV FDQ UHVXOW in poor wash performance, color transfer or discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described below.

vCheck all pockets to make sure that they are empty.

Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.

vClose zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.

vPretreat heavily stained areas for best results.

v&RPELQH ODUJH DQG VPDOO LWHPV LQ D ORDG /RDG ODUJH LWHPV oUVW

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

vThe drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of the washer should close easily.

vTo 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.

vDo not wash or spin waterproof items, such as rain coats, sleeping bags, etc.

vWhen unloading the washer, check under the door seal for small items.

NOTE: Make sure that 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.

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 clothing together. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing 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

JLYH Rç OLQW LQ WKH ODXQGU\ SURFHVV $YRLG PL[LQJ WKHVH 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.)
