INVERTER DIRECT-DRIVE MOTOR
The inverter motor, which is directly connected to the tub, minimizes energy loss and produces little noise and vibration.
SMARTDIAGNOSIS™
Should you experience any technical difficulty with your washing machine, it has the capability of transmitting data by phone to the Customer Information Center. The call center agent records the data transmitted from your machine and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a fast and effective diagnosis (Refer to page 38).
TUB CLEAN
Regular cleaning of the tub on a monthly basis using TUB CLEAN will keep the tub clean and fresh.
MAGNETIC DOOR PLUNGER
Safely and conveniently secure the door slightly ajar with the magnetic door plunger. This will promote air circulation and allow the interior of the machine to dry. To use this feature, after the load has been removed, do not close the door completely. When the magnetic door plunger comes into contact with the metal washer cabinet, it will secure the door slightly open allowing the interior of the washer to dry.
LARGE CAPACITY STAINLESS STEEL DRUM
The large capacity stainless steel drum offers extreme durability and is tilted to improve efficiency and allow easier access for large items.
CHILD LOCK
Use this option to disable the controls during a wash cycle. This option can prevent children from changing cycles or operating the machine.
DETERGENT DISPENSER DRAWER
The four-compartment dispenser drawer makes it easy to separate the pre-wash detergent, the main laundry detergent, liquid bleach, and fabric softener into different compartments.

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.
Clean the floor before installation.
1
- Make sure to select solid and smooth ground.
Two or more people are needed for moving and
2
unpacking the washing machine.
Allow for sufficient space between the walls and the
3
washing machine for installation.
Space requirements
You must allow sufficient space for water lines, the drain line, and airflow.
NOTE
Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that
y
may increase the required clearances.
NOTE
The floor
y
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. Before installing the washer, make sure the floor is
y
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. If a drip pan must be used, take extra care to follow the
y
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.

Precautions for fabric care before wash cycle
Read and observe the following to prevent shrinkage or damage to clothes.
Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty.
u
-Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.
Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these
u
items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
Pretreat heavily stained areas before washing.
u
- Doing so will produce clean, stain-free results.
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items
u
first.
Large items should not be more than half of the total
u
washload.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be
u
tightly packed with items.
-The door of the washer should close easily.
Do not wash single items, except for bulky items such as
u
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.
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
u
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.
Do not wash waterproof clothes.
u
- This may cause abnormal vibration, or may cause the load to bounce, which could damage the tub.
Check if there are any other foreign objects in the door seal
u
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.
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.

Colors Soil Fabric Lint
Whites / Lights / Darks Heavy / Normal / Light Delicates / Easy Care / Sturdy Cottons Lint Producers / Lint Collectors
20
PREPARATION
Using detergent/fabric softener
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. 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.
If you use a detergent that does not dissolve easily or a
y
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.
1
Add the appropriate detergent to its allocated
2
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

Liquid detergent Cup
softener compartment
Main wash detergent compartment
Close the detergent dispenser drawer slowly.
3
- Slamming the detergent dispenser drawer may result in the detergent overflowing into another compartment or pouring into the tub earlier than programmed.
NOTE
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in
y
the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.
Pre-wash detergent compartment
21
PREPARATION
Pre-wash Detergent Compartment
Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment when using the pre-wash option. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine.
NOTE
If liquid detergent is to be used for the main wash
y
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. The amount of detergent added for the pre-wash option
y
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. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine. 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
Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added
y
to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type. When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid
y
detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. When using powdered detergent, remove the insert
y
and liquid detergent cup from the compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.
Liquid Bleach Compartment
This compartment holds liquid chlorine bleach, which will be dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle.
NOTE
Do not add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach to this
y
compartment. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
y
when adding bleach. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much bleach can damage fabrics. Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto
y
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
Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
y
when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may result in stained clothes. Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water.
y
Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into
