installing your washer

BASIC LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

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.

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 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

WARNING 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 CAUTION 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 (137800 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.

Accessory 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 VALVE AND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.

WARNING

Premium-WF42H5700-03386A-10_EN.indd 12

2016/8/19 18:51:42

 

 

 

 

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.

Alcove or closet installation

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:

Sides – 1 in / 25 mm

Top – 17 in / 432 mm

Rear – 5.9 in / 150 mm

Closet Front – 2 in / 51 mm

If the washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least a 72 in² (465 cm²) unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specific air opening.

operating instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

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.

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 fill the tub completely – a rug, a pillow, stuffed toys, or one or two sweaters, for example – add a few towels to improve tumbling and spin performance.

During the spin cycle, the washer may add additional water to redistribute the clothes and correct an inbalance inside the drum.

To ensure good cleaning result when washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload your washer.

When the “” light is ON (see page 23), you can add or remove laundry items during a wash.

1.Press the Start/Pause Button.

2.Wait for the Door Lock light to go out (5 seconds).

3.Add the item, close the door, and press the Start/Pause Button. After a 10-second pause, the cycle will resume.

To ensure thorough cleaning, add items within five minutes of starting the wash cycle.

Washing clothes: Basic Instructions

1.Press the Power button, open the door, and then load the washer.

2.Close the door.

Push the laundry into the drum completely to prevent the laundry from being caught in the door or CAUTION from falling out of the drum.

3.Add detergent and additives to the dispenser (see pages 28~29).

4.Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load (see pages 20 ~22 and 25).

5.Press the Start/Pause Button.

The drum automatically rotates and measures the weight of the laundry without supplying water in order to adjust the wash time. (The rotating display on the display panel indicates that the weight of the laundry is being measured.)

6.The Wash Indicator light will illuminate.

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

The time may fluctuate 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 fill, 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” will appear in the display.

DO NOT attempt to open the door until the Door Lock light is off. To add a forgotten item, see the “Loading your Washer” section above.

When your washer is restarted after a pause, expect a delay of up to 15 seconds before the cycle continues.

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

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

Do not place anything on top of your washer while it is running.

Steam may not necessarily be visible during the steam cycles. Steam may not be present during the entire steam wash cycle.

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 temperature, 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 courses are the regulation and UL cycles. Since new washer must reduce the amount of energy usage at first 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.

If customers want to wash clothes in specific water temperature, customers should choose a different cycles at each temperature ( Hot/Warm/Eco Warm ).

Detergent use

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

For best cleaning results, use a 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.

Regular detergent is NOT recommended. Please use HE detergents

WARNING only.

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.

Features

Automatic dispenser

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.

The automatic dispenser MUST ALWAYS be in place before you start your washer.

DO NOT open the automatic dispenser when your washer is running.

Usage Pointers:

Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent.

This compartment holds liquid detergent for the main wash cycle, which the washer adds to the load at the beginning of the cycle.

Before using powdered detergent, remove the Liquid Detergent holder from the compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense from the Liquid Detergent holder.

washing a load of laundry

Pre wash compartment

When using the Pre Wash option, add detergent to both the Pre Wash compartment and the detergent compartment. The washer will automatically dispense the detergent during Pre Wash.

If you use a high efficiency (HE) detergent, add 1/3 of the recommended amount to the Pre Wash compartment and 2/3 of the recommended amount to the detergent compartment.

Bleach compartment

(Liquid chlorine bleach only)

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

2.Avoid splashing or over–filling the compartment.

3.Your washer automatically dispenses bleach into the tub at the appropriate time.

4.The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches the wash load.

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 fibers or color loss, if not used properly.

Oxi-type boosters or color-safe bleach can be added to the drum prior to adding laundry.

Put the laundry into the drum only after confirming that the oxi-type boosters or color-safe bleach has completely entered the hole of the drum.

To use powdered detergent and powder oxi-type boosters or powdered color-safe bleach at the same time, it is more effective to put them in the drum together before adding the laundry. When you use powdered detergent, remember to remove the Liquid Detergent holder from the detergent compartment.

Fabric Softener

Use the softener compartment ONLY for liquid fabric softeners.

DO NOT use a Downy Ball* in the Fabric softener compartment of this washer. It will not be added at the appropriate time.
