PRODUCT FEATURES
PRODUCT FEATURES
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.

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 ordinances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or servicer 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. Failure to follow these warnings can
cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

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.

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.
1
- 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.

- 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
2
installation area.
Place the adhesive side of the non-skid pad on the floor.

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.

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

PREPARATION
ENGLISH
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.
