Electrical

120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker.

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 ina

properly installed and grounded three-prong 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

Using bad quality water may cause the water supply valve to operate abnormally.

To correctly fill your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20-116 psi (137-

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 extensive flooding in your

home if an internal 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.

[_ ccessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet/305 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. CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVEAND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.

WARNING

Drain facility

The recommended height of the standpipe is 18 in/46 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 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. Freezing water can damage the belts,the pump, hoses and other components.

Runninga Calibration mode

(RefertOthe following _ Finish the

installation

_ Before you install your washer, make sure the location:

Has a hard, level surface. Is away from direct sunlight. Has adequate ventilation.

Will not freeze (tempuratures are never below 32 °F or 0 °C).

Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas. Has enough room for the power cord. Doesn't have any carpeting that will obstruct ventilation openings.

STEP 3 Installing your Washer

1. If you use a standpipe, make sure the connection between the drain hose and the standpipe is NOT

airtight. The standpipe must be at least 18 in or 46 cm high.

You must always exercise caution to avoid

collapsing or damaging the drain hose. For best results, the drain hose should not be restricted

in any way - by elbows, couplings, or excessive length. For situations where the drain hose cannot

be conveniently elevated to at least 18 in or 46 cm, the drain hose must be supported. If drain hose is installed below 18"(46cm), water can be drained in cycle working cause of siphon phenomenon. It causes the washer to "4E" error.

_ Drain Hose can be installed until 96"(245cm) maximum.

But drain capability can be reduced at this height. It causes the washer to have an odor because of

remaining water in the drain system.

_ onnect the hose guide within 6"(15cm) from the end of

the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended more than 6"(15cm) beyond the end of the hose guide, mold or

microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.

2. Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside each fill hose. Thread the inlet hoses to the HOT and COLD faucet connections.

On the other end of the hose, check for one rubber washer per hose and attach each fill hose to the water valve. Make sure the hose with Hot printed on it is attached to the HOT faucet. Tighten by hand until snug, then two-thirds of a turn with pliers.

For correct water use, connect both HOT and COLD water valves. If either or both are not connected, an "4E" (no fill) error can occur.

DETERGENT USE

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

,, For best cleaning results, use a 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.

stains, sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading. * Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.

FEATURES

Your washer has separate compartments for dispensing

detergent and color-safe bleach, chlorine bleach, and fabric softener. Add all laundry additives to their respective

compartments before starting your washer.
