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.
• 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.
• WARNING : This product contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

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
y
that may increase the required clearances.

/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.

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
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 detergent packaging.
Specially designed to use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
NOTE
yOnly use HE detergents, because using a regular
detergent may produce excessive suds.
yHE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve
more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of
your washer clean. 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 each detergent to its appropriate compartment.
Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer.
1
Add each detergent to its appropriate
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 fabric
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.
Pre-wash detergent compartment
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
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
yWhen using the pre-wash option, if liquid
detergent is to be used for the main wash, the liquid detergent cup accessory must be used in the 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. Always use HE (High­Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine. Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup on 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.
USING YOUR WASHING MACHINE
21
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.
