CAUTION

HOT WATER PIPES.

Water

To correctly ﬁ ll your Washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20 to 116psi (137 to 800kPa) is required.

Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve to shut o completely, or may extend the ﬁ ll time beyond what your Washer controls allow, causing your Washer to turn o . A time limit is built into the controls to prevent ﬂ ooding in your home if a hose becomes loose.

The water faucets must be within 4 feet / 122 cm of the back of your Washer to match the inlet hoses provided with your Washer.

Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet / 275 cm for faucets that are further away from the back of your Washer.

To avoid the possibility of water damage:

• Have water faucets easily accessible.

• Turn o faucets when the washer is not in use.

• Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose ﬁ ttings.

installing your washer

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 ﬂ oor. Wood ﬂ oors 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.

Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

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 belts, the pump, hoses, and other components.

In a laundry tub

The height of the tub must be no lower than 39 in (99 cm) and no higher than 96 in (245 cm). Assemble the supplied Hose guide at the end of the drain hose, and put the hanger on laundry tub. And fasten the drain hose to the leg of laundry tub.

Connect the hose guide (A) within 3~5 in (7.6~12.7 cm)* from the end of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended beyond the end of the hose guide, mold or microorganisms could spread inside the washer.

Drain Hose can be installed until 96 in (245cm) maximum. But drain capability can be reduced at this height. It causes the washer to have odor, because of remained water in the drain system.

If the drain hose is installed below 39 in (99 cm), water can be drained in cycles due to a siphon phenomenon. It causes the washer to display a “4E” error code.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of ﬁ re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

WARNING

LOADING YOUR WASHER

• Fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes evenly around in order to enhance washing e ciency and prevent

excess wear, or wrinkling of the load.

- For optimal washing performance, make sure the laundry is piled up evenly.

• Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery, and other lingerie in the Delicates cycle

with similar lightweight items.

• When washing big bulky items or a few smaller items that don’t ﬁ ll the tub

completely – a rug, a pillow, stu ed toys, or one or two sweaters, for example – add a few towels to improve spin performance.

• Do not insert bulky items except for Bedding in this cycle.

During the spin cycle, the washer may add additional water to redistribute the clothes and correct an imbalance inside the drum.

• When washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload your washer to ensure good cleaning results.

• Inﬂ atable items may cause damage to the laundry or the machine during the wash or drying

ATC (AUTO TEMPERATURE CONTROL)

ATC is the control function that the washer controls water temperature with temperature sensor (thermistor).

Because there are numerous water temperatures depending on the customer’s environments (cold areas, warm areas, various water temperatures, settings of heater temperature, etcs.), ATC function in our washer maintains the certain level of wash temperature to output the best washing performance at each cycle.

If you select normal & heavy duty cycles, those cycles are the regulation and UL cycle. Since new washer must reduce the amount of energy usage at ﬁ rst priority, customer will notice more cold water entering the washer. But This is Normal, not a problem.

In those regulation cycles, Hot temperature is similar to acceptable adult bath-water temperature and warm temperature is similar to comfortable swimming-pool water temperature. If customers want to wash clothes in speciﬁ c water temperature, customers should choose a di erent cycle at each temperature (Hot/Warm/Eco Warm)

DETERGENT USE

Your washer is designed to use high e ciency (HE) detergents.

• For best cleaning results, use high e ciency detergent such as Tide

HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High e ciency detergents contain suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the load tumbles more e ciently and cleaning is maximized.

Regular detergent is not recommended. Use HE detergents only.

WARNING

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.

FEATURES

Automatic dispenser

Your washer has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and color-safe bleach and fabric softener. Add all laundry additives to their respective compartments before starting your Washer.

The automatic dispenser MUST ALWAYS be in place before you start your washer. DO NOT open the automatic dispenser when your washer is running.

• Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent.

• This compartment holds liquid detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the

load at the beginning of the cycle.

• When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent compartment from the

detergent drawer. The washer will not dispense powdered detergent from the liquid detergent compartment.

03 washing a load of laundry

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 Bleach compartment

(Liquid chlorine bleach only)

1. Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.

DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL line.

• Avoid splashing or over–ﬁ lling the compartment.

• Your washer automatically dispenses bleach into the

tub at the appropriate time.

2. The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach

before it reaches the wash load.

• 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 ﬁ bers or color loss, if not used properly.

• If you prefer to use color–safe, non–chlorine bleach,

add it to the appropriate detergent compartment. DO NOT pour color–safe bleach into the Bleach compartment.
