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.

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 13

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.

14 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Precautions for fabric care before wash cycle

Read and observe the following to prevent shrinkage or damage to clothes.

υuCheck 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.

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

υuPretreat heavily stained areas before washing.

-Doing so will produce clean, stain-free results.

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

υuLarge items should not be more than half of the total washload.

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

υuDo 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.

υuDo not wash waterproof clothes.

-This may cause abnormal vibration or may cause the load to bounce, which could damage the tub.

υuCheck 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.

υuWash 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.

υuBrush 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.

20 PREPARATION

Using detergent/fabric softener

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 colorsafe 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.

PREPARATION 21

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. Always 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.
