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 :

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as

described in this owner’s manual.

• Before use, the washer must be properly installed as described in this manual.

• 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.

INSTALLATION

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.

- Make sure to select solid and smooth ground. Two or more people are needed for moving and

unpacking the washing machine. Allow 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 incr he required clearances.

Clearances

45" (114.3 cm)

25.2" (64 cm)

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. If a drip pan must be used, take extra care

to follow the instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly level the machine may result in increased vibration and noise during operation.

The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum

should not be tightly packed with items.

-The door of the washer should close easily.

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 and making a noise.

Do not wash waterproof clothes.

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

Check if there are any 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.

Wash underwear or small, light items in a laundry

net (mesh bag).

- 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 before

washing.

- Laundry may not wash clean if there is dirt or sand on the fabrics, or items may be damaged due to particles rubbing against sheer fabrics.

Wash blankets individually.

- Washing more than one blanket in a load may produce inferior results due to tangling or an unbalanced load.

Always separate fabrics according to their colors

and wash them separately to prevent colors from running.

- Fabrics may be damaged or become stained due to fabric dyes running, or due to foreign objects transferring from one fabric to another.

For best performance, load clothes as shown.

- Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the drum. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get cl

ean.

- Do not press down on items while stacking

them in the drum.

PREPARATION

Using Detergent/Fabric Softener

Recommended Detergent

Make sure to use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent for front-loading 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 detergent packaging.

Specially designed to use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent

NOTE

Only use HE detergents, because using a

regular detergent may 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.

Loading the Dispenser

The detergent dispenser drawer of the washing machine has a dispenser compartment for each detergent type. Add each detergent to its appropriate compartment.

Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer.

Add each detergent to its appropriate

compartment.

- If you use a liquid detergent, check if the liquid detergent cup is in place.

- If you use a powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent cup and put the powder in the main wash detergent compartment.

Liquid fabric

softener

compartment

Main wash detergent compartment

Close the detergent dispenser drawer slowly.

- Slamming the detergent dispenser drawer may result in the detergent overflowing into another compartment or pouring into the tub earlier than programmed.

Pre-wash detergent compartment

NOTE

It is normal for a small amount of water to

remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.

PREPARATION

Pre-Wash Detergent Compartment

Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment when using the Pre-Wash option. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine.

NOTE

When using the pre-wash option, if liquid

detergent is to be used for the main wash, the liquid detergent cup accessory must be used in the main wash dispenser, to prevent the main wash liquid detergent from being dispensed immediately. The amount of detergent added for

the Pre-Wash option is 1/2 the amount recommended for the main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash cycle requires one measure of detergent, add 1/2 measure for the Pre-Wash option.

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. Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup on clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.

Fabric Softener Compartment

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which will be automatically dispensed during the final 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.

ENGLISH

NOTE

Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be

added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type. When using liquid detergent, make sure the

liquid detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. When using powdered detergent, remove

the insert and liquid detergent cup from the compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

NOTE

The front-load washing machine rotates the laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while still

fully saturating your clothing. It is normal to not be able to see water during the wash cycle. If the temperature or the water level inside the machine is too high, the door locks and cannot be

opened. To open the door while washing, use the Rinse + Spin feature.
