Individual branch circuit serving only your Washer is recommended.
Your Washer is equipped with a power cord.
Z_ NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
CAUTION
Grounding
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED FOR THIS APPLIANCE,
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a
properly installed and grounded outlet.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
An improperly connected equipment-grounding conductor can increase the risk of electrical
....... shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are not sure whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it
does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and
grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.
70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the
appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.
/_ NEVER CONNECT THE GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES, OR
....... HOT WATER PIPES.
Water
To correctly fill 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 off completely, or may extend the fill time beyond what your Washer controls allow,
causing your Washer to turn off. A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your
home if a hose becomes loose.
The water faucets must be within 4 feet / 122 cm to 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 off faucets when the washer is not in use.
,, Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fittings.
z£
CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVE AND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.
WARNING

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.
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.

Connectingthewaterandthedrain
Connecting the water supply hose
Z_ 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.
Z_ 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.
z_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 fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an
additional two-thirds of a turn with a wrench.
When you fasten the fittings, do not fasten them too tightly or apply
....... tape or sealant to the faucets or water supply intakes. This can
damage the fittings.
After you have connected the water supply hoses to the faucets,
ensure that they are connected correctly by pulling the water supply
hoses downwards
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.
Z_ 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 fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them
an additional two-thirds of a turn with a wrench.

Hot
To ensure the correct water usage, connect both the HOT and
COLD water faucets. Ifeither or both are not connected, an
"4E" (no fill) error can occur.
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 option for the water
temperature. If you select the Tap Cold option, all the lamps for
the water temperature options are turned off.
Z_ Confirm that the water supply hoses are not twisted or bent. If
....... the hoses are twisted or bent, the hoses can leak and cause
electric shock due to the water leakage.
6. Turn on the HOT and COLD water supplies and check all the water
supply intake connections and the faucets for water leaks.

extended more than 4 in (10cm) beyond the end of the _
hose guide, mold or microorganisms could spread to the
inside of the washer.
The Drain Hose can be installed to a 96 in (245cm)
maximum, but the draining capability can be reduced
at this height. Itcan cause the washer to have an odor
because of remaining water in the drain system.
lf the drain hose is installed below 39 in (99cm), water
can be drained in cycles due to a siphon phenomenon. It
causes the washer to display a "4E" error code.

ATC (AUTO TEMPERATURE CONTROL)
ATC is the control function that the washer controls water temperature with temperature sensor (thermistor).
_ ecause there are numerous water temperatures depending on the customer's environments (cold
areas, warm areas, various water temperature, 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.
lf you select normal & heavy duty cycles, those cycles are the regulation and UL cycles. Since new
washers must reduce the amount of energy usage as a first priority, customers will notice more cold
water entering the washer. But, this is normal, not a problem.
ln those regulation cycles, Hot temperature is similar to acceptable adult bath-water temperature and
warm temperature is similar to comfortable swimming-pool water temperature.
Ifcustomers want to wash clothes in specific water temperatures, customers should choose a different
cycle at each temperature (Hot/Warm/Eco Warm).

Your washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.
• For the best cleaning results, use high efficiency detergents, 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.
Z'_ Regular detergent is not recommended. Use HE detergents only.
