Installation requirements

Water Supply

•To correctly fill your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20 to 116 psi (137 to 800 kPa) is required. Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, 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.

•For the provided water hoses to reach the washer, make sure the water taps are within 120 cm (4 ft) of the back of the washer.

•Before using for the first time, check all connections at the water valves and taps for any leaks.

To reduce a risk of water leaks:

•Make sure the water taps are easily accessible.

•Turn off the water taps when the washer is not in use.

CAUTION: Check all connections at the water valves and taps for any leaks.

Untitled-2 12			2014-05-26 10:51:10

Step 3 - Connect the water supply hoses

CAUTION

•Before installing the water supply hoses, make sure there are rubber gaskets (A) inside the fittings at both ends of each new water hose. Installing the water supply hoses without rubber gaskets may cause water leakage.

•When installing the washer for the first time, make sure to use new hoses. Failing to do so may result in a water leakage or overflow and may cause property damage.

•Do not connect water supply hoses together to increase the length of the supply hose. Hoses connected this way may leak resulting in 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 water taps.

2.Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds turn with a wrench. Make sure the hoses are firmly connected by gently pulling them downwards.

3.Run water into a bucket for a few seconds to clear the water lines. Close the water taps before continuing.

4.Connect the hot-water supply hose to the hot-water supply intake at the back of the washer. Connect the cold-water supply hose to the cold-water supply intake at the back of the washer.

5. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds turn with a wrench.

6.Open the hot and cold water taps, and check all the water supply intakes, water taps, and hoses for leaks.

CAUTION

•Do not over-tighten the fittings or apply tape or sealant to the taps or water supply intakes. This can damage the fittings.

•Confirm that the water supply hoses are not twisted or bent. If a hose is twisted or bent, water may leak, causing an electric shock.

•After you have connected the water supply hoses to the faucets, ensure that they are connected correctly by pulling the water supply hoses downwards.

•To ensure the correct water usage, connect both the hot and cold water taps. If either or both are not connected, a “4E” (no fill) error can occur.

•If not using the hot water supply hose, insert the water intake cap into the hot water supply intake. In this case, select the Tap Cold option to turn off the Hot indicator. Then, you can change the water temperature.

Use the provided tap connector if connecting the hose to the kitchen sink tap.

•The tap connector requires an appropriate packing for

the faucet to connect to.

•If using faucets, connect the water supply hose to the

cold water intake.

•If using faucets, make sure only cold water is supplied. Supplying both hot and cold water simultaneously may cause the water to flow backward in the drain system.

• For the Super Sanitize, Sanitize, or Self Clean cycles, cold water supply is recommended. Hot water supply involves a delay due to the cooling process.

•Make sure to close the faucet(s) when the washer is not in use.

Basic operations

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

Laundry guidelines

Carefully read the following instructions to avoid machine problems or damage to clothing.

•Check the care label on clothing before washing.

•Do not overload the tub with laundry. Excessive laundry reduces washing efficiency, increases wear and tear on clothes, and can cause increased creasing and wrinkling.

•When washing big, bulky items add some towels to improve the tumbling and spinning performance.

•Check if there are any garments that might discolor the rest of the wash. Apply a liquid detergent to a white towel and a garment, and then rub the garment with the soapy portion of the towel. If color from the garment comes off on the towel, wash the garment separately or with other items of a similar color.

•Special care is needed for scarves and imported clothes since they discolor easily. Check for stains or dirt. For stains, add some detergent to a cloth and rub the stains in one direction. Soil and dirt may rub against delicate garments, causing damage to the garments.

•For a badly soiled item, first dust it off and then wash it.

•Before washing the laundry, make sure that sleeves, collars, dress hems, and pockets are pretreated by brushing them with detergent. Wrinkle-processed clothing made of wool should be specially treated by tying them together (using thread) before washing. Remove the thread after the clothes have dried.

•Metal items on clothing may damage the tub and other laundry. Turn clothing with buttons and embroidered clothes inside out before washing them. Zip up all zippers. Otherwise, the spin basket may be damaged.

•Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other items. Make sure to fix the strings before starting a wash.

•Turn delicate items inside out before washing them.

•Wash black clothing and cotton towels separately. If these are washed together, the towels may become stained.

•If big, bulky items are not submerged in the tub water, press the Power button to stop operation and make sure they are submerged. Then, resume operation.

CAUTION

•Check all pockets before washing.

•Hair pins and coins may damage the washer.

•Check all pockets for metal items, and remove them before washing.

<![endif]>OPERATIONS BASIC

Untitled-2 21			2014-05-26 10:51:13

Do NOT wash

•Clothing that is easily damaged by water.

•Neckties, brassieres, jackets, suits and coats that are made mostly of rayon and other kinds of blended fabrics that can be easily damaged (e.g. shrinkage and discoloration).

•Wrinkle-processed, embossed, or resin processed products that are easily damaged when just soaked in water.

•Easily discolored products made of cotton or wool, wrinkled silk, leather products, leather accessory, leather ornamented clothes and their accessories.

•Waterproof clothing (e.g. ski wear, diaper covers, and mats/rugs). This may cause the laundry to be ejected or cause the washer to vibrate abnormally, which may result in personal injury or damage to the washer, the floor, or the clothing. When the tub rotates, water may become trapped in the waterproof clothing or fabric and can collect in a corner, causing abnormal vibrations. In addition, the laundry rises and may be ejected and cause personal injury.

Laundry net

•Use only commercial laundry nets.

•Place delicate clothes in a laundry net.

•Cashmilon garments and garments that are large and lightweight (e.g. lace decorated clothing, lingerie, nylon stockings, synthetic fabrics, etc.) may rise to the top of the washer and damage clothing and the washer. Use a laundry net or wash these items separately.

•Place long stringed and lace decorated clothing, baby bed cover sheets, and woolen clothes into a laundry net before washing them.

Before doing a sanitizing wash

Sort and wash the laundry by color.

•Do not wash laundry that may become discolored by a sanitizing wash.

•Do not use a sanitizing wash for delicate clothing such as woolen items and lingerie.

Do not put these items in a sanitizing wash:

	Cottons	Easily discolored T-shirts.
		Embroidered T-shirts with knitted fiber.
	Linens	Wrinkle resistant clothing with synthetic mixed fiber.
	Woolen or Silk Items	Cold water wash only.
	Synthetics	Tops, shirts, stockings.
	Acetate Fiber Items	Do not put in a sanitizing wash.

•Do not use this product and other heating equipment at the same time.

•The temperature of a sanitizing wash cycle varies according to the environment.

Detergent types and usage

•Adding more detergent doesn’t increase performance. Rather, too much detergent generates too many bubbles, reducing the rinse effect and causing environmental pollution.

•Powder detergent residue may be left over in the cleaned laundry, causing bad odors. If using powder detergent, fully rinse the laundry.

•Bleach is strongly alkaline and can damage the laundry.

•Do not use a soap type of detergent whether it’s a solid type or powder type. Using these types of detergent may cause the following:

•A white residue of the detergent may remain on the cleaned laundry.

•Some amount of the detergent may coagulate, causing bad odors on or discolor the laundry.

•The tub can be badly contaminated with the detergent residue, which contaminates the laundry in turn.

•The amount of fabric softener specific to wool or baby clothing differs depending on the manufacturer of the fabric softener. Make sure you are using the standard or recommended amount of softener by the manufacturer.

•Reduce the amount of detergent if the washer generates excessive amounts of bubble while in operation or after washing is complete.

•Using liquid detergent is recommended.

When to add fabric softener

•An alarm sounds for 20 seconds immediately before the last rinse cycle in order to remind users of adding fabric softener to the tub.

•For the Rinse + Spin cycle, fabric softner must be input in advance.

Handling the secure door

Open the secure door

Gently lift up the handle to open the door.

Close the secure door

Lower the door until it contacts the built-in magnet.

If the secure door is not firmly closed, the washer may emit noises during a spin cycle, or steam may overflow while sanitizing the laundry. Make sure to firmly close the secure door.

About the sanitizing wash cycle

The sanitizing wash cycle sanitizes clothes and helps remove stains.

How can a sanitizing wash remove stains more effectively?

While the laundry is being sanitized, the laundry’s fibres fold and naturally rub each other to facilitate the removal of stubborn stains. Also, the high temperature helps soften the material of the laundry, and enhances the performance of the detergent. Stains on the surface of the laundry are easily removed by the steam and bubbles that are generated by the high temperatures of the sanitizing wash cycle.

Sterilization

The sanitizing wash has a sterilization effect. Odors and most of the bacteria that cause skin allergies are removed by the sanitizing cycle. Keeps your clothes fresh and clean.

Bleaching

Colors become brighter as stubborn stains are removed by the sanitizing cycle.

Washing effect

The higher the water temperature, the better the washing effect.

The effects of a sanitizing wash cycle are 60% better than a normal wash. Even with a half of the normal amount of detergent, the effects of a sanitizing wash increase up to 20%

Sanitizing wash instructions

•Use caution during a sanitizing wash because the water temperature is very high.

•To drain the water safely, do not select a high water level for a sanitizing wash. Do not put more than 1.5 kg (3 lb) of laundry into the tub. If you put more than 3 lb. (1.5 kg) of laundry into the tub, the clothes’ fibers can be damaged. (Underwear: 4.5 oz/130 g; short pants: 1.75 oz/50 g; socks: 1.75 oz/50 g; normal towels: 5.25 oz/150 g; bath towels: 10.5 oz/ 300 g)

•Do not supply hot water through the cold water valve. Operate the washer only after the cold water valve is closed. For safety reasons, add cold water to cool down the hot water while draining.

•Time required to run the sanitizing wash cycle depends on the water temperature.

•The washer is designed for a sanitizing wash. Add only cold water to the hot water to cool it down when the cycle is complete.

•If only hot water is supplied, or the water hoses are connected incorrectly (hot to cold and cold to hot), the washer won’t drain the water. If this occurs, an alarm will sound and the washer will display an error code.

•The sanitizing wash cycle starts only when the door is closed.

•Once the cycle starts, the water level cannot be changed nor can hot water be added.
