IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

ENGLISH

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

WARNING!

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.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT SSAAFFEETTYY IINNSSTTRRUUCCTTIIOONNSS

• 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.

WARNING

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

precautions, including the following:

SSAAVVEE TTHHEESSEE IINNSSTTRRUUCCTTIIOONNSS

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.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

• Do not use an adapter or extension cord.

• Do not remove ground prong.

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

GROUNDING 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.

(Packing support may not be used depending on models.)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

■ Installation clearances

The location must be large enough to fully open the washer door.

■ Washer dimensions

• Most installations require a minimum 4 in. (10 cm) clearance behind the washer.

■ Minimum installation spacing for

recessed area installation.

The following dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing allowed. Additional spacing should be considered for installation and servicing.

• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings.

• Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of the washer is recommended to reduce noise transfer.

Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

■ Level floor

• Allowable slope under entire washer is 1°.

• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.

• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not recommended.

• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

NOTE: A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a

front-loading washer than to a top-loader. If your floor is wood and/or frame construction, you may need to reinforce it. Front-loaders use substantially faster spin speeds than top-loaders, causing greater vibration. If the floor is not solid, your washer will vibrate. You will hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.

■ Power outlet

•

Must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of either side of the

washer. Do not overload the outlet with more than one appliance.

• Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation

of the customer to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

• Water supply pressure must be between

14.5 and 116 PSI (100~800 kPa).

• Do not crossthread when connecting inlet hose to the valve.

• If the water supply pressure is more than 116 PSI, a pressure reducing device should be installed.

• Two Sealing washers are supplied with the water inlet hoses to prevent water leaks.

• Check for leakage of washing machine connections by turning the tap completely on.

• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary.

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

• Be sure that the two water input ports are connected to the correct water faucets. The connector for hot water is colored red.

■ Connecting water supply hose

NOTE: Washing Machine is to be connected to the water mains using new hoses.

Old hoses should not be used.

■ Electrical connection

• Do not use an extension cord or double adapter.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

• If the machine will not be used for an extended time, unplug it and shut off the water supply.

• Connect the machine to a grounded outlet in accordance with current wiring regulations.

• The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.

Repairs to the washing machine must only be carried out by qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local service center.

Do not install your washing machine in a room where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst under pressure. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below the freezing point.

If the appliance is delivered in the winter months and temperatures are below freezing, store the washing machine at room temperature for a few hours before putting it into operation.

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.
