DIRECT DRIVE SYSTEM

The advanced Brushless DC motor directly drives the drum without using a belt and pulley.

TILTED DRUM AND EXTRA LARGE DOOR OPENING

The tilted drum and extra large opening make it possible to load and unload clothing more easily.

ULTRA CAPACITY

The larger drum enables more tumbling action and greater centrifugal force, but also less tangling and wrinkling of the laundry. Heavier loads, such as king size comforters, blankets, and curtains, can be washed.

SEE-THROUGH DOOR AND BIG DOOR

You can see the laundry throughout the cycle.

MAGNETIC DOOR PLUNGER

Safely and conveniently secure the door slightly ajar with the magnetic door plunger. This will promote air circulation and allow the interior of the machine to dry. To use this feature, after the load has been removed, do not close the door completely. When the magnetic door plunger comes into contact with the metal washer cabinet, it will secure the door slightly open allowing the interior of the washer to dry.

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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, or 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 to prevent children from hiding inside.

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

•Do not tamper with the controls.

•Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

•See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.

•ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.

•Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your washer.

Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

•Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 11

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Checking and choosing the proper location

Install the washing machine on a solid floor that is strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washing machine, even when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If the floor has too much flex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.

1Clean the floor before installation.

- Make sure to select solid and smooth ground.

2Two or more people are needed for moving and unpacking the washing machine.

3Allow for sufficient space between the walls and the washing machine for installation.

Space requirements

You must allow sufficient space for water lines, the drain line, and airflow.

NOTE

•Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.

NOTE

•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, 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.

•Before installing the washer, make sure the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the washer feet can not slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or slide on the floor can contribute to excess vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor.

12 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpacking and removing shipping bolts

When removing the washer from the carton base, be sure to remove the foam drum support in the middle of the carton base.

If you must lay the washer down to remove the base packaging materials, always lay it carefully on its side. DO NOT lay the washer on its front or back.

1Remove the bottom two shipping bolts with the wrench (included) to fully loosen all four shipping bolts by turning them counterclockwise and then pulling them out.
