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.

Your Safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and

obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION. These words mean:

DANGER

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 lid to prevent children from climbing inside.

• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed

to the weather or freezing temperatures.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of

combustible materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing other than as described in this manual. We

strongly recommend that any service be performed by a qualified technician.

• 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.

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

• This washer is not designed for maritime use or for mobile

installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.

• Turn off the water faucets and unplug the washer if the machine is to be left for an extended period of time, such as during vacations.

• Do not use to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

• Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a

risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging from children.

• Always check the inside of the washer for foreign objects before loading laundry. Keep the lid closed when not in use.

• Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(2.5 cm)

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.

1 Clean the floor before installation.

- Make sure to select solid and smooth ground.

2 Two or more people are needed for moving and

unpacking the washing machine.

3 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

yBe sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings

that may increase the required clearances.

Installing on a floor

/4"

(57 cm)

NOTE

yThe 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.

yBefore 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.

yIf 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Leveling the washing machine

The washer tub of your new washing machine spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be perfectly level and solid.

Check the washing machine’s level.

- Check the precise level by rocking the top edges of the washing machine or placing a level on the washing machine. The slope beneath the washing machine must not exceed 1°, and all four leveling feet must rest firmly on the floor.

Turn the lower leveling feet clockwise to level

Level

1°

the washing machine.

- Turning the lower leveling feet clockwise raises the washing machine.

Turn the locknuts counterclockwise and tighten

Raise

them when the washing machine is level.

Tighten all 4 lock

nuts securely using

the wrench.

Check the washing machine’s level again.

- Push or rock the top edges of the washing machine gently to make sure that the washing machine does not rock.

- If the washing machine rocks, repeat steps 1 to 3.

WARNING

yUsing the washing machine without leveling,

it may result in malfunction caused by the production of excess vibration and noise.

yIf you are installing the washing machine

on the optional pedestal, you must adjust the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the washing machine. The washing machine´s leveling feet should be minimized and turn the locknuts counterclockwise to secure.

yUse the leveling feet only when you level the

washing machine.

If you raise the leveling feet unnecessarily, it may cause abnormal vibration of the washing machine.

Using non-skid pads (optional)

If you install the washing machine on a slippery surface, it may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. In the event of this, lay the non-skid pads under the leveling feet and adjust the level.

Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.

- Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign

objects or moisture. If moisture remains, the non-skid pads may slip.

Adjust the level after placing the washing

machine in the installation area. Place the adhesive side of the non-skid pad on

the floor.

- It is most effective to install the non-skid pads

under the front legs. If it is hard to place the pads under the front legs, place them under the back legs.

This side up

Precautions for fabric care before wash cycle

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

u Check 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.

u Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent

these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.

u Pretreat heavily stained areas before washing.

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

u Combine large and small items in a load. Load

large items first.

u Large items should not be more than half of the

total washload.

u The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum

should not be tightly packed with items.

-The door of the washer should close easily.

u 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.

u Do not wash waterproof clothes.

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

u Check 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.

u Wash 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.

u 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 they may damage due to particles rubbing against sheer fabrics.

u Wash blankets individually.

- Washing more than one blanket together may produce unclean results due to tangling or an unbalanced load.

u Always separate fabrics according to their 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.

PREPARATION

Using detergent/fabric softener

Recommended 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.

NOTE

yUse less detergent for soft water. yWipe up any spills immediately, as liquids

could damage the finish and the control panel of the washing machine.

yUsing too much detergent can cause a build-

up in the tub resulting in unsatisfactory performance and machine malfunction.

yIf 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 the appropriate detergents into its respective compartments.

Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer.

Add the appropriate detergent to its allocated

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 chlorine bleach 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.

NOTE

yIt is normal for a small amount of water to

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

Pre-wash detergent compartment

Pre-wash Detergent Compartment

Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment when using the pre-wash option.

NOTE

yIf liquid detergent is to be used for the main

wash when using the pre-wash option, the liquid detergent cup accessory must be used in main wash dispenser to prevent the main wash liquid detergent from being dispensed immediately.

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

NOTE

yLiquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be

added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type.

yWhen using liquid detergent, make sure the

liquid detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

yWhen 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.

PREPARATION

Liquid Bleach Compartment

This compartment holds liquid chlorine bleach, which will be dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle.

NOTE

yDo not add powdered or liquid color-safe

bleach to this compartment.

yAlways follow the manufacturer’s

recommendations when adding bleach. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much bleach can damage fabrics.

yNever pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach

directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.

Fabric Softener Compartment

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

NOTE

yAlways 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.

yDilute concentrated fabric softeners with

warm water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

yNever pour fabric softener directly onto the

load or into the drum.
