PRODUCT FEATURES
DIRECT DRIVE SYSTEM
The advanced brushless DC motor drives the drum directly 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.
STAINLESS STEEL DRUM
Stainless steel drum offers extreme durability.
TUB CLEAN
Regular cleaning of the tub on a monthly basis using TUB CLEAN can help keep the tub clean and fresh.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
Warning
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, injury to persons, or death.
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, 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.

12 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Checking and choosing the proper location
Install the washing machine on a solid concrete cement 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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 13
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.

16 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Leveling the washing machine
The washer tub of your new washing machine spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be perfectly level and solid.
1Check the washing machine’s level.
-Check the precise level by rocking the top edges of the washing machine or placing a level on the washing machine. The slope beneath the washing machine must not exceed 1°, and all four leveling feet must rest firmly on the floor.
1°
2 Turn the lower leveling feet clockwise to level the washing machine.
- Turning the lower leveling feet clockwise raises the washing machine.
Raise
3 Turn the locknuts counterclockwise and tighten them when the washing machine is
level.
Tighten all 4 lock nuts securely using
the wrench.
4Check the washing machine’s level again.
-Push or rock the top edges of the washing machine gently to make sure that the washing machine does not rock.
-If the washing machine rocks, repeat steps 1 to 3.
WARNING
•Using the washing machine without leveling, it may result in malfunction caused by the production of excess vibration and noise.
•Use the leveling feet only when you level the washing machine. If you raise the leveling feet unnecessarily, it may cause abnormal vibration of the washing machine.
Using non-skid pads (optional)
If you install the washing machine on a slippery surface, it may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. In the event of this, lay the non-skid pads under the leveling feet and adjust the level.
1Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.
-Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects or moisture. If moisture remains, the non-skid pads may slip.
2Adjust the level after placing the washing machine in the installation area.
3Place the adhesive side of the non-skid pad on the floor.
-It is most effective to install the non-skid pads under the front legs. If it is hard to place the pads under the front legs, place them under the back legs.

PREPARATION
Precautions for fabric care before wash cycle
Read and observe the following to prevent shrinkage or damage to clothes.
υu Check 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.
υu Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
υu Pretreat heavily stained areas before washing.
- Doing so will produce clean, stain-free results.
υu Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.
υu Large items should not be more than half of the total washload.
υu The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items.
- The door of the washer should close easily.
υu Do not wash single items, except for bulky items such as blankets. Make sure to wash laundry in similar types of loads.
- Washing a single small item may result in the tub becoming unbalanced, vibrating, making a noise.
υu Do not wash waterproof clothes.
- This may cause abnormal vibration or may cause the load to bounce, which could damage the tub.
υu Do not do the laundry with the clothes which are contaminated with oil, cream or lotions which are used in massage parlor, skin care shops or hairdressers.
-It can deform parts of the product and may cause leakages
υu Check if there are any other foreign objects in the door seal and take extra care that clothes do not get caught there.
- Foreign objects in the door seal may stain clothes, and water may leak if clothes get caught in the door seal.
υu Wash underwear or small, light items in a laundry net.
- Small, light items may get caught in the door seal, and a brassiere hook may damage other items or the tub.
υu Brush heavy soil, dust, or hair off fabrics before washing.
- Laundry may not wash clean if there is dirt or sand on the fabrics, or they may be damaged due to particles rubbing against sheer fabrics.
υu Wash blankets individually.
- Washing more than one blanket together may produce unclean results due to tangling or an unbalanced load.
υu Always separate fabrics according to their colors and wash them separately to prevent colors from running.
- Fabrics may damage or become stained due to fabric dyes running or due to foreign objects transferring from one fabric to another.

PREPARATION 19
Recommended detergent
Use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent for frontloading washing machines. HE detergents dissolve more efficiently and produce
fewer suds to ensure efficient washing and rinsing. Use the correct amount of detergent as indicated on the label of the detergent packaging.
NOTE
•Use HE detergents, since using a regular detergent will produce excessive suds.
•HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of your washer clean.
•Use less detergent for soft water.
•Wipe up any spills immediately, as liquids could damage the finish and the control panel of the washing machine.
•Using too much detergent can cause a build-up in the tub resulting in
unsatisfactory performance and machine malfunction.
•If you use a detergent that does not dissolve easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will leave a residue on the tub, which may not rinse properly.
About the dispenser
The automatic dispenser consists of three compartments which hold:
•Liquid chlorine bleach.
•Liquid fabric softener.
•Liquid and powdered detergent and color-
safe bleach for main wash.
All laundry products can be added at once in their respective dispenser compartments.
They will be dispensed at the appropriate time for the most effective cleaning.
After adding the laundry products to the dispenser, close the dispenser cover.
To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser:
1.Open the dispenser cover.
2.Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.
3.Slowly close the dispenser cover to avoid early dispensing of the laundry products.
NOTE
•It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.
20 PREPARATION
Loading the dispenser
Main Wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine.
Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions with respect to the amount of detergent to use, and never use more than the recommended amount. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.
NOTE
•Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type.

•Do not add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach to this compartment.
•Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding bleach. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much bleach can damage fabrics.
•Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.
Fabric Softener Compartment
This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which will be automatically dispensed during
rinse cycle.
NOTE
•Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may result in stained clothes.
•Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
•Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the drum.
•Do not add the fabric softener sheets to this compartment.
•Do not add ‘fabric sheet softener’ into the dispenser draw as it is likely to cause water to leak out. If ‘fabric sheet softener’ has been added, please pull out the dispenser draw and remove.
