may damage your property.
CAUTION
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. If
a hose is too short, replace the hose with a
longer, high pressure hose.
1. Connect the ends of the water supply
hoses to the hot and cold faucets.
2. Tighten the ttings by hand until they
are snug, and then tighten them an
additional two-thirds of a turn with a
plier.
CAUTION
When you fasten the ttings, do not fasten
them too tightly or apply tape or sealant to
the faucets or water supply intakes. This can
damage the ttings.
NOTE
After you have connected the water supply

connected correctly by pulling the water
supply hoses downwards.
22 English
3. Place the unconnected ends of the hoses
into a bucket and open the faucets
connected to the two water supply hoses
for 10 or 15 seconds to remove any
foreign substances from the hoses. Close
the faucets before continuing.
4. Connect the ends of the water supply
hoses to the water supply intake
connections at the back of the washer.
CAUTION
The water supply hose connected to the hot
faucet must be connected to the hot water
supply intake and the water hose connected
to the cold faucet must be connected to the
cold water supply intake.
5. Tighten the ttings by hand until they
are snug, and then tighten them an
additional two-thirds of a turn with a
plier.
NOTE
To ensure the correct water usage, connect
both the hot and cold water faucets. If either
or both are not connected, an “4C” (no ll)
code can be displayed.
Installation
NOTE
If you do not want to use the hot water
supply hose, insert the water intake cap
into the hot water supply intake hole. In
this case, you must select the Tap Cold
for the water temperature. If you select
the Tap Cold, all the lamps for the water
temperature options are turned off.
CAUTION

ATC is the control function that the
washer controls water temperature with
temperature sensor (thermistor).
NOTE
Because there are numerous water
temperatures depending on the customer’s
environments (cold areas, warm areas,
various water temperatures, settings of
heater temperature, etc.), ATC function in our
washer maintains the certain level of wash
temperature to output the best washing
performance at each cycle.
NOTE
If you select NORMAL cycle, this cycle is the
regulation and UL cycle. Since new washers
must reduce the amount of energy usage as
a rst priority, customers 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.
NOTE
If customers want to wash clothes in specic
water temperatures, customers should
choose a different cycle at each temperature
(Hot/Warm/Eco Warm).

to stop operation, and then follow steps
1-4 above.
• If you open both the door and the
Builtin sink, lower the Built-in sink
manually for prewashing.
[Water Jet stops]
• Water Jet stops operation automatically
when the washing machine detects the
maximum water level.
• Water Jet stops operation automatically
5 minutes after it begins. To add more
water, press Water Jet again to resupply
water.
• Select a cycle and press Start/Pause. Then
the washing machine drains the water to be
used during the prewash.
• When the washing machine is turned off
before starting the wash cycle, it drains
the water to be used during the prewash.
However, when it is turned off during the
wash cycle, it does not drain the water.
NOTE
• Water Jet extracts the water through the
Mist Shower nozzle for 1 second and then
through the Water Jet nozzle from then on
when it is rst activated after the washing
machine turns on.
CAUTION
• Do not abuse Water Jet. Excessive use of
Water Jet increases water consumption.
• When running water to the tub, do that
gently. Otherwise, water may overow the
tub.
• Use caution when removing laundry from
the tub. You may bump your head on the
Built-in sink.
• Do not block the outlet of Water Jet with
hands. Water may leak outside the tub,
causing a system failure.
• Put only clothes to prewash in the Built-in
sink. Other items such as shoes, food, or
animals can not be used for prewash.
• Do not open the Built-in sink in a hurry.
Remaining water in the sink may splash on
the door or control panel.
• Due to a difference in air pressure, Water Jet
may splash water from its outlet when it is
rst activated.
• This lid must be closed tightly to do the
laundry.
Your washer is designed to use high
efciency (HE) detergents.
• For the best cleaning results, use a high
efciency detergent such as Tide HE,
Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High
efciency detergents contain suds
suppressors that reduce or eliminate
suds. When fewer suds are produced,
the load tumbles more efciently and
cleaning is maximized. (* Brand names
are trademarks of their respective
manufacturers.)
Regular detergent is not recommended. Use
HE detergents only.
Washing a load of laundry
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.
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.
NOTE
• 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.
Washing a load of laundry
NOTE
It is normal for a small amount of water to
remain in the dispenser compartments at
the end of the cycle.
NOTE
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.
NOTE
When adding color-safe bleach with
detergent, it is best if both laundry products
are in the same form – liquid.
NOTE
When using powdered detergent, remove
the liquid detergent compartment (A) from
the detergent drawer. The washer will not
dispense powdered detergent from the
liquid detergent compartment.
1. Add chlorine bleach to the bleach
compartment (B).
DO NOT exceed the bleach compartment.
NOTE
• Avoid splashing or over–lling 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 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.
1. Pour the recommended amount of
liquid fabric softener into the softener compartment (C).
For smaller loads, use less than one
capful.
2. Dilute the fabric softener with water
until it reaches MAX FILL in the
compartment.
3. The dispenser automatically releases
liquid fabric softener at the proper time
during the rinse cycle.
NOTE
• Use the softener compartment ONLY for
liquid fabric softeners.
• DO NOT use the Downy Ball* in the
fabric softener compartment with this
washer. It will not add fabric softener at
the appropriate time.
Use the detergent compartment.
(* Brand names are trademarks of their
respective manufacturers.)
• Do not use liquid fabric softener that
is too sticky as it may not mix with the
water sufciently.
Control board, heat sink, motor, inlet valve and pump are intentionally not grounded and may
present a risk of electric shock only during servicing.
Cleaning the exterior
1. Turn off the water faucets after nishing
the day’s washing.
This will shut off the water supply to
your washer and prevent the unlikely
possibility of damage from escaping
water. Leave the lid open to allow the
inside of your washer to dry out.
Cleaning the interior
Clean the interior of your washer
periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor,
mold, mildew, or bacterial residue that
may remain in your washer as a result of
washing clothes.
Storing your washer
Washers can be damaged if water is
not removed from hoses and internal
components before storage.
Prepare your washer for storage as follows:
1. Select the Quick Wash cycle and add
bleach to the automatic dispenser. Run
your washer through the cycle without
a load.
2. Turn the water faucets off and
disconnect the inlet hoses.
2. Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent,
bleach or other spills as they occur.
3. Clean the following as recommended:

les robinets se trouvant à une trop grande
distance de votre lave-linge.
Pour prévenir les risques de dégât des
eaux :
• Faites en sorte que les robinets d'arrivée
d'eau soient facilement accessibles.
• Fermez les robinets d'arrivée d'eau
lorsque vous n'utilisez pas le lave-linge.
• Vériez régulièrement l'absence de
fuite au niveau des raccords des tuyaux
d'arrivée d'eau.
AVERTISSEMENT
Vériez l'absence de fuite au niveau de tous
les raccords de la vanne d'eau et du robinet.
Système de vidange
La hauteur recommandée de la conduite
d'évacuation est de 39 pouces (99 cm).
Fixez le tuyau de vidange à la pince prévue
à cet effet, puis introduisez-le dans le tuyau
d'évacuation mural. Le tuyau d'évacuation
doit être sufsamment large pour accueillir
le tuyau de vidange du lave-linge. Le tuyau
de vidange est xé au lave-linge en usine.
Sol
Pour un fonctionnement optimal, vous
devez installer votre lave-linge sur un sol
stable. Si le sol est en bois, il est préférable
de le renforcer an de réduire les vibrations
et/ou problèmes de déséquilibre. La
présence de moquette ou de surfaces molles
peut entraîner des vibrations susceptibles
de provoquer un léger déplacement de
votre lave-linge durant l'essorage.
N'installez jamais votre lave-linge sur une
plate-forme ou sur une structure instable.
Choix de l'emplacement d'installation
N'installez pas votre lave-linge dans un
endroit qui risque d'être exposé au gel : il
reste en effet toujours une certaine quantité
d'eau dans la vanne, la pompe ou les
tuyaux. L'eau gelée peut endommager les
courroies, la pompe, les tuyaux ou d'autres
composants.

ÉTAPE 1 - Choix de l'emplacement
REMARQUE
Avant d'installer votre lave-linge, vériez que l'emplacement choisi :
• possède une surface dure et à niveau, sans moquette ou autre revêtement de sol
susceptible d'obstruer l'aération ;
• n'est pas exposé à la lumière directe du soleil ;
• dispose d'un espace d'aération sufsant ;
• n'est pas exposé au gel (températures inférieures à 32 °F ou 0 °C)
• ne se trouve pas à proximité d'une source de chaleur (ex. : essence, gaz, etc.) ;
• dispose de sufsamment d'espace, de sorte que votre lave-linge ne repose pas sur son
Avant d'installer les tuyaux d'arrivée d'eau,
vériez la présence de joints en caoutchouc (B) à l'intérieur des raccords (A) situés
aux deux extrémités de chaque tuyau
d'arrivée d'eau neuf. L'installation de tuyaux
d'arrivée d'eau sans joints en caoutchouc est
susceptible d'entraîner une fuite d'eau.
B
A
ATTENTION
Lors de l'installation initiale du lave-linge,
veillez à utiliser des tuyaux neufs. Le
contraire est susceptible d'entraîner une
fuite d'eau ou un trop-plein et de provoquer
des dommages matériels.
ATTENTION
Ne raccordez pas plusieurs tuyaux d'arrivée
d'eau ensemble pour augmenter la longueur
du tuyau d'arrivée. Des tuyaux raccordés
de cette façon peuvent fuir et la fuite peut
entraîner une électrocution. Si un tuyau est
trop court, remplacez-le par un tuyau haute
pression plus long.
1. Raccordez les extrémités des tuyaux
d'arrivée d'eau aux robinets d'eau
chaude et d'eau froide.
2. Serrez autant que possible les raccords
à la main, puis faites deux tiers de tour
supplémentaires à l'aide d'une pince.
ATTENTION
Lorsque vous serrez les raccords, veillez
à ne pas trop les serrer et à n'appliquer ni
ruban adhésif, ni mastic sur les robinets
ou les arrivées d'eau. Cela est susceptible
d'endommager les raccords.
REMARQUE
Après avoir raccordé les tuyaux d'arrivée
d'eau aux robinets, vériez que le
branchement a été correctement effectué en
tirant les tuyaux d'arrivée d'eau vers le bas.
3. Placez les extrémités non raccordées
des tuyaux dans une bassine et
ouvrez les robinets connectés aux
deux tuyaux d'arrivée d'eau pendant
10 ou 15 secondes an d'éliminer
toute substance étrangère dans les
tuyaux. Fermez les robinets avant de
poursuivre.
Installation
4. Raccordez les extrémités des tuyaux
d'arrivée d'eau aux raccords de la vanne
d'alimentation en eau située à l'arrière
du lave-linge.
ATTENTION
Le tuyau d'arrivée d'eau raccordé au robinet
d'eau chaude doit être raccordé à l'arrivée
d'eau chaude et le tuyau d'arrivée d'eau
raccordé au robinet d'eau froide doit être
raccordé à l'arrivée d'eau froide.
5. Serrez autant que possible les raccords
à la main, puis faites deux tiers de tour
supplémentaires à l'aide d'une pince.
REMARQUE
Pour garantir un bon fonctionnement,
raccordez les deux robinets d'arrivée d'eau
(chaude et froide). Si l'un d'entre eux (ou
les deux) n'est pas raccordé, un code « 4C »
(pas de remplissage) risque de s'afcher.
Installation
REMARQUE
Si vous ne souhaitez pas utiliser le tuyau
d'arrivée d'eau chaude, insérez le bouchon
d'arrivée d'eau dans l'orice d'arrivée
d'eau chaude. Dans ce cas, vous devez
sélectionner l'option Tap Cold (Robinet d'eau froide) pour la température de l'eau. Si vous
sélectionnez l'option Tap Cold (Robinet d'eau froide), tous les voyants correspondant
aux options de température de l'eau sont
éteints.
ATTENTION
Vériez si les tuyaux d'arrivée d'eau ne sont
pas vrillés ou pliés. Si les tuyaux sont vrillés
ou pliés, ils peuvent fuir et la fuite peut
entraîner une électrocution.
6. Ouvrez les robinets d'eau chaude
et froide puis vériez tous les
raccordements : les arrivées d'eau et les
robinets ne doivent présenter aucune
fuite.
