repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
9. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
10.Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If
the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washer or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

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.
/_k 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, 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 turning 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/122cm 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/305cm 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.
WARNIN_
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 - 4 in / 102 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
cm*) unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specific air opening.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO INSTALLER
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the washer,
These instructions should be retained for future reference. We recommend you hire a professional for installation of this washer.
STEP 1 Selecting a Location
[_ Before you install your washer, make sure the location:
Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation. Has no dust, oil and detergent etc. Is away from direct sunlight Has adequate ventilation
Will not freeze (tempuratures never below 32°F or O°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 2 Removing the Shipping Bolts
Before using your Washer, you must remove the four shipping bolts from the back of the unit.
t. Loosen all the bolts with the supplied wrench.
2. Slide the bolt and spacer up and remove the bolt with the spacer through the hole in the rear wall of your washer.
Repeat for each bolt.
3. Cover the holes with the supplied Bolt Hole Covers (See page 12).
4. Keep the shipping bolts and spacers for future use.
STEP 3 installing your Washer
If you use a stand pipe, 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 Laundry tub
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 9_,,M,x 46 cm, the drain hose must be supported.
Do not insert the drain hose too far into the stand pipe: 6 - 8 inches, and no more.

2. Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside each fill hose. Cold
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 "nF" (no fill)
error can occur.

LOADING YOUR WASHER
You can fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes, but DO NOT OVERLOAD the tub. No more than 3/4 full.

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 only.
_ educing 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.
