This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can result in property damage and/or serious bodily harm or death.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word WARNING or CAUTION. These words mean:

WARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

caution	You may be slightly injured or cause damage to the product if you do not follow
	instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

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.

yy Use this appliance only for its intended purpose.

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

yy 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.

yy 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.

yy 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 washer, 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.

yy Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children. A child might become trapped inside the washer and suffocate.

yy Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid to prevent children from climbing inside.

yy Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures. yy Do not tamper with controls.

yy Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.

yy Service must be performed by a qualified service technician. Do not disassemble the washer. yy See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.

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

yy 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.

yy Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only as recommended by the manufacturer.

yy Normal height of the end of the hoses should be approximately 35”~47” (90~120 cm) from the floor.

yy Do not install the end of the drain hoses lower than 29". (73.7 cm) or higher than 96 in. (243.8 cm) above the bottom of the washer or more than 60 in. (152.4 cm) away from the washer.

yy Never create an airtight seal between the hoses and the drain with tape or other means. If no air gap is present, water can be siphoned out of the tub resulting in poor wash/rinse performance or clothing damage.

yy For best performance, if there is an additional drain hose from a hybrid dryer, place the drain hose in the standpipe next to the drain connector.

yy If the standpipe is too narrow to fit both the drain connector and the dryer drain hose, the dryer drain hose may be inserted up to 3/4 in. into the center channel of the drain connector. See Overview of Connections, page 10.

caution

yy Inserting the dryer drain hose farther than 3/4 in. will cause leaking and improper draining.

Option 2: Laundry Tub

Bend the end of the drain hoses to the desired shape and support them on the edge of the laundry tub. Use the tie strap to secure the drain hoses in place.

Drain Hose

NOTE:

yy Do not use this drain hose with a floor drain. The end of the drain hose must be at least 29 inches above the floor for proper draining to occur.

14 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY

The washer should be plugged into a 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 3-prong (grounded) outlet. Plug in the washer.

WARNING

yy Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service technician if there is doubt that the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. Never damage or cut off the ground prong of the power cord. If the cord does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

WARNING

yy The power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5 m) of either side of the washer.

yy The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.

yy Plug the washer into an electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. For best performance, plug the washer into its own individual outlet. This helps prevent overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. If necessary, use a new, ULlisted 3-prong adapter or 3-wire extension cord with a 3-prong (grounding) plug rated at no less than the branch circuit. Do not use an extension cord longer than three feet. Failure to follow these warnings can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

yy The outlet must be grounded in accordance with current wiring codes and regulations.

yy Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. yy It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the product owner to have a proper outlet installed by a

qualified electrician.

yy Do not use a worn or damaged power cord or power plug. Replace or repair it immediately. Failure to do so may result in death, fire, electric shock, or malfunction.

yy Do not modify the power cord and take care not to damage it when installing or moving the washing machine. Failure to do so may result in death, fire, electric shock, or malfunction.

yy Make sure that the washing machine is grounded. yy Connect this washing machine to a grounded outlet conforming to the rating prior to use. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock, or malfunction. yy Do not damage or cut off the ground prong of the

power cord. Doing so may cause death, fire, electric shock, or product malfunction.

SORTING WASH LOADS

caution

yy Do not load items higher than the top edge of the tub. Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage or damage to fabrics.

yy Use the Bedding cycle in the full-size washer for buoyant or nonabsorbent items such as pillows or comforters. Refer to owner's manual included with washing machine. Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage.

Grouping Similar Items

For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, sort the clothing into loads that are made up of similar items.

Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash performance, color transfer, discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Sort fabrics into groups as described below.

Colors

Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in a separate load from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.

Soil Level

Wash heavily soiled clothing in the full-sized washer. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing. The pedestal washer is optimized for use with lightly soiled and delicate items.

Fabric Type

Do not mix delicate items with heavier or sturdier fabrics. Washing heavier fabrics in a delicate load can result in poor wash performance for the heavier fabrics and possible damage to the delicate items.

Lint Type

Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics results in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector – knit sweater; lint producer – terry cloth towels.)

Sort Laundry…

<![endif]>ENGLISH

LOADING THE WASHER

yCheck all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both the washer and the clothes.

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

yPretreat heavily stained areas for best results.

yTo prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash single items. Add one or two similar items to the load. Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, comforter, or bedspread, should be washed individually in the fullsize washer.

yThe washer will not fill or operate with the lid open.

yDon't overload the tub. Clothes should fit loosely in the tub under the maximum fill line. Loading clothes over the fill line may result in damage to clothing and the washer.

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

-Do not press down on items while stacking them in the tub.

Maximum fill line

yDo not wash rugs, mats, shoes, pet bedding, or any items other than clothes or sheets, in this washer.

CAUTION

yClose the lid until it clicks before sliding the drawer in to begin the cycle.

16 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE

A WORD ABOUT DETERGENTS

High-Efficiency (HE) detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of your washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and machine damage.

Max load (2 tsp., 10 g)

Normal (1 tsp., 5 g)

This machine requires very little detergent. For proper wash performance, always use the dispenser and measuring device provided with the machine.

The dispenser holds a maximum of 2 teaspoons (10g/10cc) of HE detergent. Most normal loads require only 1 teaspoon (5g/5cc) of detergent, or filling the dispenser to the halfway line.

Using too much detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance. Reduce detergent amount or add an extra rinse if detergent residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra rinse, press the Extra Rinse button.

Designed To Use Only

High-Efficiency (He)

Detergent

IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for HighEfficiency washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when purchasing detergent.

IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Pay careful attention to the amount of detergent used to avoid oversudsing, poor rinsing and detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the machine. The maximum measure on the dispenser provided should only be used for very large loads. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in the washer and in your clothes.

Always measure the detergent amount. While HE detergents are designed for this type of washing machine, be careful when measuring the detergent. For most normal loads, no more than 1 teaspoon or half the provided dispenser/measuring device of HE detergent should be used.

NOTE:

yy Extra care must be exercised when using 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a little bit extra can contribute to the problems mentioned above.

yy Detergents designated as HE compatible may not provide optimal results.

USING THE DETERGENT

1.Slide the drawer open, open the lid, and add the garments into the tub.

2.Measure the detergent with the detergent dispenser and pour it into the tub.

3.Close the lid, slide the drawer closed, and press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.

NOTE: Liquid chlorine bleach or powdered bleach cannot be used in the pedestal washer. To use bleach, use the full-size washer and follow instructions in the owner's manual for that machine.

IMPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately. These products can damage the finish and controls.

Using Bleach

Do not use liquid chlorine bleach or powdered bleach in the pedestal washer. To bleach items, use the full-size washer and follow the instructions in the owner's manual included with that machine.

Using Fabric Softener

The pedestal washer chimes repeatedly before the final rinse so liquid fabric softener can be added to the load, if desired. Use 1/4 the amount of softener recommended by the manufacturer for a normal load.

When the machine chimes, press Start/Pause to pause the cycle.

1.Slide the drawer open, open the lid, and add the liquid fabric softener to the detergent dispenser. The softener can also be diluted with water and added directly into the tub. Do not pour undiluted softener directly onto clothing because it may stain fabrics.

2.Close the lid, slide the drawer closed, and press Start/Pause to restart the cycle.

3.To disable or enable the fabric softener alert, press and hold the Warm Water and Extra Rinse buttons at the same time for three seconds.

If you miss the softener add point:

1.Press the Power button to interrupt the cycle.

2.Select the Rinse+Spin cycle and press the Start button to start the cycle.

3.Add the fabric softener at the chimes following instructions above.
