Choosing the Proper Location

Check the following requirements for the install location before installing the washer.

•Allow for sufficient space between the walls and the washer for installation.

•Make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the leveling feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or slide on the floor can contribute to excess vibration and noise.

•If the floor has too much flex, reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.

Power Outlet

The power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5 m) of either side of the washer.

•Position the washer so that the outlet and plug are easily accessible.

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

•The outlet must be grounded in accordance with current electrical wiring codes and regulations.

•Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

•It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the washer owner to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Flooring

•To minimize noise and vibration, install the washer on a level, solidly constructed floor capable of supporting the washer without flexing or bouncing.

•The washer must be installed on firm flooring to minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete flooring is best, but a wood floor is sufficient, provided it is built to FHA standards.

•The floor under the washer must not slope more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from front to back or side to side.

•Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is not recommended.

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

Floor Installation

To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet hoses, drain hose and airflow, allow minimum clearances of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 inches (10 cm) behind the washer. Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.

Minimum vertical space from floor to overhead shelves, cabinets, ceilings, etc., is 58 inches (147 cm).

Fabric Care Labels

Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label. Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option selections to care for your clothing according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Grouping Similar Items

For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothing into loads made up of similar items.

Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash performance, color transfer, discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described below.

Colors

Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes separately from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.

Soil Level

Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.

Fabric Type

Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavy or sturdy fabric types. Washing heavy fabrics with delicates can result in poor wash performance for the heavy fabrics and possible damage to the delicates.

Lint Type

Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For

18 OPERATION

Loading the Washer

General Tips

•Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins, matches, etc. can damage clothing and the washer.

•Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to prevent snagging or tangling of clothes.

•Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.

•Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items before washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade other fabrics and lead to poor wash performance.

•Combine large and small items in the tub. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half of total load.

•For best results, load dry items only. If washing very wet items, wring out excess water before loading, or run a Spin Only cycle to extract excess water before adding detergent and starting the desired cycle.

•The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub should not be tightly packed with items. The lid of the washer must close easily.

Bulky Items

•Do not wash entire pillows or cushions. Remove pillow or cushion inserts and wash the covers only.

•Use the Bedding cycle for large or bulky items such as poly-filled jackets, comforters, pillows, etc. These items may not be as absorbent as other laundry items and should be sorted into a separate wash load for best performance.

•Bulky items should be placed as far down in the tub as possible for best performance. Always place buoyant items at the bottom of the tub. The washer will automatically detect the load size. Because of the high efficiency wash system, the water level may not completely cover the load.

Small Items

•Do not wash a single small item. Add enough similar items to the load to prevent an out-of- balance load.

•Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small items can get caught in the impeller at the bottom of the tub, and brassiere hooks can damage other items or the tub.

•The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open.

•Do not overload the tub. Clothes should fit loosely in the tub under the maximum fill line a. Loading clothes over the fill line may result in damage to clothing and the washer.

-Do not press down on items while stacking them in the tub.

-Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the tub. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean.

General Tips for Models with an Impeller

If the appliance uses a low profile rotating hub in the drum, follow these instructions when loading the washer.

• For best performance, load clothes as shown.

•Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy blankets, comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds can get tangled or cause an unbalanced load if combined with other items.

OPERATION 19

Adding Cleaning Products

About Detergent Use

This washer is designed for use with only HE (HighEfficiency) detergents.

•HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and washer damage.

•Detergents designated as HE-compatible may not provide optimal results.

•For proper wash performance, always measure detergent using the measuring device provided by the detergent manufacturer. For an average load, use less than half of the recommended maximum. Use less detergent for soft water, light soil, or smaller loads.

•Use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a small amount of extra detergent can lead to problems.

•Never use more than the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. Using too much detergent can lead to oversudsing, poor rinsing, detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the washer.

•Do not use more than one single-use detergent pack or detergent tablet in the washer. Using too much detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance. Reduce detergent amount or add an extra rinse if detergent residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra rinse, select the Extra Rinse option.

Single-Use Detergent Packs / Gel or Tablet Detergents

Place liquid or powdered detergent packs, or gel or tablet detergents in the tub before loading laundry. Do not place these detergents in the dispenser.

About the Dispensers

The automatic dispenser consists of two compartments which hold:

•Liquid fabric softener

•Liquid or powdered detergent for main wash

CAUTION

•Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer. These products can damage the washer’s finish and controls.

NOTE

•Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding cleaning products.

Using the Detergent and Softener Dispenser Drawer

To add detergent and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser drawer:

1 Open the dispenser drawer.

2 Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.

3 Gently close the detergent dispenser drawer before starting the cycle.

•Slamming the drawer closed may result in the detergent overflowing into another compartment or dispensing into the drum earlier than programmed.

•Be careful not to get a hand caught in the drawer while closing.

•It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.

Main Wash Detergent Compartment

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used in this compartment.

•The detergent is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (HighEfficiency) detergent with your washer.

•Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.

•Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type. Do not mix liquids and powders.

•When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid detergent cup and insert are in place.

•When using powdered detergent, remove the insert and liquid detergent cup from the dispenser. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.

•If you use a detergent that does not dissolve easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will leave a residue and clog the dispenser.

Fabric Softener Compartment

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.

•Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes.

•Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water.

•Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the tub.

Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser

The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment at the left front of the tub opening.

WARNING

•Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar or rust/scale remover. Mixing chemicals like these can produce a lethal gas, resulting in severe injury or death.

NOTE

•Do not add powdered bleach to this dispenser. The bleach dispenser is designed to dispense liquid bleach only. Powdered or liquid color-safe bleach will not dispense properly.

•Do not place laundry items on top of the bleach dispenser when loading and unloading the washer.

•Never add more than one cup of bleach and do not exceed the maximum fill line since this can cause the bleach to be dispensed immediately. Using too much bleach can damage fabrics.

•Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the tub. Fabric damage can occur.

•Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

1 Check clothing care labels for special instructions.

2 Measure liquid bleach carefully, following the instructions on the bottle.

•HE (High-Efficiency) washers use less water, so less bleach is needed. One half cup is enough for most loads.
