The inverter direct drive motor, which is directly attached to the drum, is capable of producing multiple distinct different motions for optimal washing performance with very little noise and vibration. The motor assembly also contains fewer moving parts, thus resulting in fewer repairs.

Should you experience any technical difficulty with your washing machine, it has the capability of transmit- ting 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

45).

Regular cleaning of the tub on a monthly basis using Tub Clean can help keep the tub clean and fresh.

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.

The large capacity stainless steel drum offers extreme durability and is tilted to improve efficiency and allow easier access for large items.

Use this option to disable the controls during a wash cycle. This option can )revent children from changing cycles or operating the machine.

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.

12 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Checking and choosing the proper Iocafion

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.

- Make sure to select solid and smooth ground.

2 Two or more people are needed for moving and

unpacking the washing machine.

3 Allow for sufficient space between the walls and the

washing machine for installation.

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 may increase the required clearances.

\..... J

(57 cm)

@ NOTE

• The 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.

• Before installing the washer, make sure the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the washer feet call not slide easily. Leveling feet that call

move or slide on the floor call 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 instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even

contact with the pall. Use of drip palls 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.

- 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 items from snagging or tangling on other

clothes.

Pretreat heavily stained areas before washing.

- Doing so will produce clean, stain-free results.

Combine large and small items in a load. Load

large items first.

Large items should not be more than half of the

total washload.

The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items.

-The door of the washer should close easily.

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.

Do not wash waterproof clothes.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- Fabrics may damage or become stained due to

fabric dyes running, or due to foreign objects transferring from one fabric to another.

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.

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.

PREPARATION 19

20 PREPARATION

Using Detergent/Fabric Softener

Recommended Defergenf

Make sure to use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent

for frentloading 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 -,

• Only use HE detergents, because using a regular

detergent may produce excessive suds.

• HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing

performance, and help to keep the interior of your washer clean.

• Use less detergent for soft water.

• Wipe up any spills immediately, as liquids could

damage the finish and the control panel of the washing machine.

• Using too much detergent can cause a build- up in the tub resulting in unsatisfactory

performance and machine malfunction.

• If 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.

1 Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer.

2 Add each detergent to its appropriate

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.

)

Main wash Pre-wash detergent detergent

compartment compartment

3 Close the detergent dispenser drawer slowly.

- 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 the dispenser compartments at the

! end of the cycle. )

USNG YOUR WASHING MACHINE 21

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

When 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.

The 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.

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 on clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be

used.

_-@ NOTE .......................................................................................................................................................................

Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment with

detergent of the same type. When using liquid detergent, make sure the

liquid detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

When 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.

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 compartment.

• Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations 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 the load or into the drum. Fabric

damage can occur.

\ ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................J

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which will be automatically dispensed during the final rinse

cycle.

--@ NOTE

Always 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. Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm

water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load

or into the drum.
