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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• Do not use an adapter or extension cord.
• Do not remove ground prong.
• If you don’t have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Consult a
qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.

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.
Clean the floor before installation.
1
- Make sure to select solid and smooth
ground.
Two or more people are needed for moving
2
and unpacking the washing machine.
Allow for sufficient space between the walls
3
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.

Read and observe the following to prevent shrinkage or damage to clothes.
Check all pockets to make sure that they are
u
empty.
- Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins,
and keys can damage both your washer and
your clothes.
Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings
u
to prevent these items from snagging or
tangling on other clothes.
Pretreat heavily stained areas before
u
washing.
- Doing so will produce clean, stain-free
results.
Combine large and small items in a load.
u
Load large items first.
Large items should not be more than half of
u
the total washload.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
u
should not be tightly packed with items.
-The door of the washer should close easily.
Do not wash single items, except for bulky
u
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.
Do not wash waterproof clothes.
u
- This may cause abnormal vibration or may
cause the load to bounce, which could
damage the tub.
Check if there are any other foreign objects
u
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.
Wash underwear or small, light items in a
u
laundry net.
- Small, light items may get caught in the
door seal, and a brassiere hook may
damage other items or the tub.
Brush heavy soil, dust, or hair off fabrics
u
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.
Wash blankets individually.
u
- Washing more than one blanket together
may produce unclean results due to tangling
or an unbalanced load.
Always separate fabrics according to their
u
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.

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 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.

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.
