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,

personal injury, or loss of life.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

WARNING!

• 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 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.

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 ordinance.

• Do not use an adapter or extension cord.

• Do not remove ground prong.

• If you don’t have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using

the washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING :

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric

shock. Check with 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.

necessary.

• Make sure that there is no kink on the hose and that it is not crushed.

▶When your washer has two valves,

• The Inlet hose which has red connector is for the hot water tap.

• If the washer has two valves, the energy is saved by using hot valve.



Washing Machine is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and that old

hose-sets should not be used.



Connecting water supply hose

Electrical connection

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord

Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit

which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the

specification page of this owner's manual to be certain.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords,

frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions

could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its

appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have

the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched,

closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where

the cord exits the appliance.

are before washing

1. Fabric Care Labels

Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your

garment and how it should be washed.

2. Sorting

To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash

cycle.

Different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.

Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint

transfer can occur causing discoloration of white clothing. If possible, do not wash

heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.

Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.

Color (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.

Lint (Lint Producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

3. Check before loading

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

Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.

Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar

items.

• Check all the pockets to make sure that they

are empty. Things such as clip, matches,

pens, coins, and keys can damage both your

washer and your clothes.

• Close zippers, hooks, and strings to make

sure that these items do not snag on other

clothes.

• Pretreat dirt and stains by brushing a little

detergent dissolved in water onto stains like

collars and cuffs to help lift dirt.

WARNING

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

NOTE: Do not wash or spin water-proof clothes.

sing the dispenser

The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments which hold 1) liquid chlorine bleach,

2) liquid fabric softener, 3) liquid or powdered detergent for prewash and 4) liquid or

powdered detergent and color safe bleach for main wash.

All laundry products can be added at once in their respective dispenser compartments.

these steps:

1. Open the dispenser drawer.

2. Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.

3. Close the dispenser drawer.

■ About detergent

Low sudsing detergent is recommended for this washer. Use the manufacturer's

recommended amount.

If low sudsing detergent is not available, a reduced amount of regular detergent may be

used.

Because reducing the amount of detergent may reduce cleaning, it is important to

pretreat stains,

sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.

Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size

and soil level of the load.

For best results, avoid using too much detergent.

• Add detergent to this compartment

when using the Prewash option.

Liquid or powdered detergent may

be used in this compartment.

The detergent will automatically be

dispensed during Prewash if the

Prewash option is selected.

• Add 1/2 the recommended amount

of detergent to the Prewash

compartment and the

recommended amount of detergent

to the main wash compartment.
