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.
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the
following.
• 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 door 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.
• 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 individual.
• 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 taps and unplug the washer if the machine is to be left for an extended period of time, such as during

Precautions for fabric care before wash cycle
Read and observe the following to prevent shrinkage or damage to clothes.
Make sure to check the fabric care labels in the clothes and wash them according to the instructions.
u
- Failure to do so may result in damage to or shrinkage of clothes.
Check if the fabric is washable.
u
- Washing may result in shrinkage or discoloration of clothes.
Check all the pockets to make sure that they are empty of coins or other items.
u
- Noise may occur during washing, and the clothes or the tub may be damaged.
For items with zippers or hooks, close them and turn the item inside out before washing.
u
- Snagging or tangling on other items may occur during washing, and the fabric or the tub may be damaged.
Pretreat heavily stained areas before washing.
u
- Doing so will produce clean, stain-free results.
Wash underwear or small, light items in a laundry net.
u
- Small, light items may get caught in the door seal, and a brassiere hook may damage other items or the tub.
Do not wash waterproof clothes.
u
- This may cause abnormal vibration, or may cause the load to bounce, which could damage the tub.
Brush heavy soil, dust, or hair off fabrics before washing.
u
- 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.
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 colors and wash them separately to prevent colors from running.
u
- Fabrics may damage or become stained due to fabric dyes running, or due to foreign objects transferring from one
fabric to another.
Do not wash single items, except for bulky items such as blankets. Make sure to wash laundry in similar types of loads.
u
- Washing a single small item may result in the tub becoming unbalanced, vibrating and making a noise.
Check if there are any other foreign objects in the door seal and take extra care that clothes do not get caught there.
u
- Foreign objects in the door seal may stain clothes, and water may leak if clothes get caught in the door seal.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items.
u
The door of the washer should close easily.

NOTE
Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations

may remain in the dispenser during the rinse cycle.
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in
y
the detergent dispenser drawer at the end of the cycle.
Recommended detergent
Make sure to 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.
Designed specially to use only
HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
NOTE
Only use HE detergents, since using a regular
y
detergent may produce excessive suds.
HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more
y
efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance,
and help to keep the interior of your washer clean.
The amount of detergent used for the pre-wash option
y
is 1/2 of the amount recommended for the main wash
cycle.
Use less detergent for soft water.
y
Wipe up any spills immediately, as liquids could
y
damage the finish and the control panel of the washing
machine.
Using too much detergent can cause a build-up in
y
the tub resulting in unsatisfactory performance and
machine malfunction.

flexibility.
If you use a softener with high viscosity,
y
dilute it with water.
Pour the recommended amount of

detergent into the liquid fabric softener
compartment.
Due to its excellent bleaching power,
y
you must use a bleaching agent only on
whites to prevent discoloration.
Take extra care not to get it directly on
y
fabrics.
Pour the recommended amount of
y
detergent into the liquid chlorine bleach
compartment.
NOTE
If you use a detergent that doesn’t dissolve easily or a
y
detergent with high viscosity, it will leave a residue on
the tub, which may not rinse properly.
When using color-safe bleach, sort fabrics by type,
y
and add the bleach into the main wash detergent
compartment.
- Put powdered color-safe bleach with powdered
synthetic detergent into the main wash detergent
compartment.
- Pour liquid color-safe bleach with liquid synthetic
detergent into the liquid detergent cup.
