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.

Connecting the drain hose

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

In a Wall standpipe or Floor standpipe

The height of end of standpipe must be no lower than 39 in (99 cm) and no higher than 96 in (245 cm).

If drain pipe are built into the wall with water valves (A), fasten the drain hose to the water hose.

Make sure that the connection between the drain hose and the standpipe is not airtight.

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.

operating instructions

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 efficiency 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, stuffed 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 process.

WARNING • Regardless of the size, blankets or quilts are safer and cleaner to wash one item at a time. Two different-sized blankets in the same load may compromise the drying performance due to unbalanced loads.

To input a blanket

Fold the blanket into the blanket-specifi c net as shown, and then insert in the tub below the plastic area of the tub.

Make sure the laundry is inserted completely.

WARNING • Any exposed part of the laundry may cause damage to the machine or the laundry itself, or a water leak.

•Do not overload the tub. Make sure no part of the laundry is exposed outside of the tub.

To add a forgotten item:

1.Press the Start/Pause button to pause the washer.

2.Wait for the door to unlock automatically, and then open the door.

3.Add the item, close the door, and then press the Start/Pause button. The cycle will resume.

GETTING STARTED

1.Load your washer.

2.Add liquid (or powder) detergent and additives to the dispenser (see pages 24~26).

3.Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load (see pages 18~23).

4.Close the lid.

5.Press the Start/Pause button.

6.The Wash Indicator light illuminates.

7.The estimated cycle time will appear in the display.

The time may fl uctuate to indicate the time remaining in the cycle better.

The actual time required for a cycle may differ from the estimated time in the display depending on the water pressure, water temperature, detergent, and laundry.

8.Before your washer starts to fi ll, it will make a series of clicking noises to check the door lock and do a quick drain.

• When the cycle is complete, the Door Lock light will go out and “End” (WA50M7450A*) / “0” (WA45M7050A*) will appear in the display.

•Pressing the Power button cancels the cycle and stops your washer.

•The Wash, Rinse , and Spin indicator lights will illuminate during those portions of the cycle.

2.Remove laundry.

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 different cycle at each temperature (Hot/Warm/Eco Warm)

DETERGENT USE

Your washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.

•For best cleaning results, use high efficiency detergent such as Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. 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.

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.

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.

Liquid detergent

It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the compartment 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. The washer will not dispense powdered detergent from the liquid detergent compartment.

Liquid detergent compartment

Loading the Bleach compartment

(Liquid chlorine bleach only)

1.Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL line.
