WASHER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you
and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the
word “WARNING” or “CAUTION.” These words mean:
Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in severe personal injury or death.
Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in minor personal injury or property damage.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
Read all instructions before using the appliance. With any equipment using electricity and moving parts,
potential hazards exist. To safely operate this appliance, become familiar with its operation and be careful when using it.
Install and store your washer inside, away from exposure to
weather.
Install and level your washer on a floor that can support its
weight.
Your washer must be properly grounded. Never plug it into
an ungrounded outlet.
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion: Do not wash items that have been washed, soaked, or
treated with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Rinse by hand any material that has been exposed to cleaning solvent or other flammable liquids or solids before putting in your washer. Be sure that all traces of such liquids, solids, and fumes have been removed. Dangerous substances include acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, certain liquid household cleaners and spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers.
Do not put gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances into the washer.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced
in a hot water system–such as your hot water heater-- that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If your hot water system has not been used for two weeks or more, turn on all hot water faucets in your home, and let the water flow for several minutes before using your washer. This will release any hydrogen gas build– up. Since hydrogen gas is flammable, do not smoke or light an open flame during this time.
Unplug the power cord before servicing your washer. Do not reach into the appliance when the tumbler is moving. Do not let children play on or in your washer. The washer
door isn’t easily opened from the inside, and a child could be seriously injured if trapped inside.
Do not tamper with the controls. Do not repair, replace, or service any part of your washer
yourself unless you fully understand the recommended user–repair instructions and have the skills to carry them out. Work done by an unauthorized person may void your warranty.
Store laundry detergents and other laundry supplies in a
cool, dry place out of children’s reach.
Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with vegetable
or cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.
Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or acids (such as
vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.
Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small particles
can stick to fabrics washed in subsequent loads and cause skin irritation.
Before disposing of your washer, remove the lid so that
children or small animals cannot get trapped inside.
Do not sit on the top of your Washer. Inlet hoses are subject to damage and deterioration over
time. Check the hoses periodically for bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks, and replace them every five years.
Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard
objects or foreign materials, such as coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your washer.
Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other
heavy metal.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any
type of oil on it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or
fire.

Part Number DC82-01012A
Location Requirements
Selecting the proper location for your washer improves performance and minimizes noise and possible washer “walk.”
Companion appliance location requirements should also be considered. Proper installation is your responsibility.
Drain facility
The recommended height of the standpipe is 39 in / 99 cm. The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached to the washer at the factory.
Flooring
For best performance, you must install your washer on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibration which can cause your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
Location considerations
Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always retain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water can damage the pump, hoses, and other components.
Alcove or closet installation
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:

Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15 amp, fused electrical
supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3
prong grounding plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
washer is properly grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected washer:
This washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a 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 a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
For a permanently connected washer: This washer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Remove Transport System
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install washer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Important note to installer:
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing your washer. These instructions should be retained for future reference. We recommend you hire a professional to install this washer.
Selecting a Location
Before you install the washer, make sure the location:
• Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or ooring that may
obstruct ventilation.
• Is away from direct sunlight.
• Has adequate ventilation.
• Is not exposed to freezing temperatures (temperatures under
32 °F or 0 °C).
• Has enough space so that the washer doesn’t rest on its
power cord.
Connecting the water and the drain
Connecting the water supply hose
Before you Connect the inlet hoses to water faucets, check to ensure a washer is inside coupling. Before installing the water supply hoses, make sure there are rubber gaskets inside the fittings at both ends of each new water hose.
Installing the water supply hoses without rubber gaskets can cause water leakage.
When you initially install the washer, be sure to use new
hoses. Failing to do so may result in a water leakage or overflow and may damage your property.
Do not connect multiple water supply hoses together to increase the length of the supply hose. Hoses connected this way can leak and the leakage can cause electrical shock and or damages to the floor due to water leaks. If a hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer,high pressure hose.
Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets
Make sure the washer tub is empty.
1. Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside each fill hose. Thread the inlet hoses to the HOT and COLD faucet connections. On the other end of the hose, check for one rubber washer per hose and install each fill hose to the water valve. Make sure the hose with the Hot printed line is attached to the HOT faucet. Tighten by hand until snug, then two-thirds of a turn with pliers.
NOTE: For correct water use, connect both HOT and COLD water valves. If either or both are not connected, an “nF” (no fill) error can occur.
2. Turn on the “HOT” and “COLD “water supply and check all connections at the water valve and the faucet for leaks.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve. Damage to the valves can result.

Clear water lines
Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a
laundry tub, drainpipe or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot
water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
Connect the inlet hoses to the washer
1. Attach the hot water hose to the washer’s hot (H) water inlet
valve. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.
NOTE:
The hot water connection on this washer is located on the left and the cold water connection is located on the right.
2. Attach the cold water hose to the washer’s cold (C) water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.
3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two­thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.
4. Turn on the water faucets completely and check for leaks. NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the
risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
Connecting the drain hose
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
Over the edge of a wash basin
Secure the guide to the side of the basin wall with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose from moving.
In a standpipe or laundry tub
The standpipe must be no shorter than 39 in (99cm) and no longer than 96 in (245 cm). Make sure that the connection between the drain hose and the standpipe is not airtight.

LAUNDRY TIPS
Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this
type of detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other
items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
Empty pockets and turn them inside-out. Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt. Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling. Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle. Mend tears, loose hems, and seams. Treat spots and stains. Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best
results.
Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, and
load evenly.
Wash small items, such as infant socks, in a mesh garment
bags. To create a balanced load it is recommend that more than one garment bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.
NOTE: If you are washing only small items, it is recommend that more than one mesh garment bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.
Sorting
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even
if they would normally be washed together. Separate lint­givers (towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics, permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.
Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from
noncolorfast items.
Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits,
delicate items).
Unloading
Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed. Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if
left in the washer basket for a long time.

Using the Proper Detergent
Your Washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents. High efficiency detergents contain suds suppressors that
reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the load tumbles more efficiently and cleaning is maximized.
WARNING: Regular detergent is NOT recommended. Please use only HE detergents.
NOTE: Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the quality of cleaning. It is important to pre–treat stains, sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.
Brand names are trademarks of their respective
manufacturers.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
Using the Dispenser
Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate compartments for your laundry additives—one is for detergent, one is for liquid chlorine bleach, and one is for liquid fabric softener. Laundry additives are diluted and dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, except for powder detergents, making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to add them.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.
Do not put laundry additives directly into the wash tub. Always use the proper dispensers when adding laundry additives.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors : 1) longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. 2) It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
To fill dispenser compartments
Automatic dispenser
Your Washer has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and color-safe bleach, chlorine bleach, and fabric softener. All laundry additives are added to their respective compartments before starting your Washer.
The automatic dispenser MUST ALWAYS be in place before starting your Washer.
DO NOT open the automatic dispenser when your Washer is running.
To use:
1. Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent.
2. This Compartment holds liquid detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the load at beginning of cycle.
NOTE: When using powdered detergent, remove the Liquid Detergent compartment from the detergent drawer by pulling it upwards. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the Liquid Detergent compartment in place.
To add detergent to the automatic dispenser:
1. Open the dispenser drawer.
2. Load the recommended amount of liquid (or powder)
detergent into the detergent compartment before you start your wash.
3. Close the drawer slowly and smoothly to avoid spilling, splashing, or premature dispensing of the contents.
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the
dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.
Do not put chlorine bleach in the dispenser drawer.
Loading the Liquid (or Powder) detergent compartment
1. Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly
into the detergent compartment before starting your washer.
2. If you are using color-safe bleach, add it with the detergent to the detergent compartment.
When adding color-safe bleach with detergent, it is best if
both laundry products are in the same form – liquid.
When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid
detergent compartment from the detergent drawer. If not, the washer will not dispense powdered detergent from the liquid detergent compartment.
Loading the Bleach compartment
(Liquid chlorine bleach only)
1. Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. DO NOT exceed the bleach compartment. Avoid splashing or over–filling the compartment.
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the
load or into the tub. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the fibers or color loss,
if not used properly.
