ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-

• amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recom mended. It is recommended that a sepa rate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

This washer is equipped with a power sup-

• ply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug.

To minimize possible shock hazard, the

• cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obli gation of the customer to have the prop erly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected washer:

This washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding con ductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly

grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance—if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electri cian.

For a permanently connected washer:

This washer must be connected to a ground ed metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire

• is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Do not ground to a gas pipe.

•

Check with a qualified electrician if you are

• not sure the washer is properly grounded.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground

• circuit.

PRODUCT OPERATION

THEORY OF OPERATION

INTRODUCTION

The Cabrio™ Automatic Washer represents a new design that differs from the traditional top load machine. This washer operates without a transmission, motor coupler, belt, basket drive tube, or brake assembly.

NEW COMPONENTS

The washer has the following new components:

Drive Motor—The drive motor is an electronically commutated direct drive 3-phase brush less DC design that moves the impeller/agitator and spin basket without the use of a transmis sion. The motor is comprised of a stator that is bolted to the base of the washer tub and a rotor that is attached to the drive shaft. The motor direction and speed is controlled by the machine/motor controller, and is monitored by a rotor position sensor, (RPS), located on the stator.

Recirculation PumpDrain Pump

Basket—The basket is designed with a tra ditional balance ring at the top and a ﬂotation chamber at the base. The outside surface of the basket is punched to allow lint to catch on the holes during the wash cycle. When the water drains, the lint will be ﬂushed off and out the drain.

Balance Ring

Flotation Chamber

Basket Hub—The basket hub consists of two splined components that engage or disengage based on the position of the basket in the vertical direction. The outer hub component is fastened to the bottom of the basket, while the inner component is attached to the end of the drive shaft.

Outer Hub

(Basket)

As the tub ﬁlls with water, the basket begins to ﬂoat and to rise. The splined hub components now separate, and allow the basket to move independently of the drive shaft.

When the tub drains, the basket drops back to it’s original position, and the hub components re-engage, connecting the basket to the shaft, and permitting the basket to spin.

Lid Lock Mechanism—Since this washer does not utilize a brake, a lid lock is used to prevent access during the spin cycles. During the drain and spin portions of the cycle, a lid lock mechanism will lock the lid. The lid locks are based on cycle phase. In general, the lid locks when the basket spins greater than 23 rpm. After main wash, the lid is locked, and remains locked until the end of the cycle. The lid must be closed for the machine to ﬁll, wash, drain, or spin. Magnets in the washer lid close a reed switch in the lid lock. This acts as the lid switch.

WASHER USE

WARNING

NOTE: Your washer model may differ slightly.

STARTING THE WASHER

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other ﬂammable ﬂuids.

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or ﬁre.

The following is a guide to starting the washer. Periodic references to other sections of this manual provide more detailed information.

USING THE PROPER DETERGENT

Use only High Efﬁciency (HE) detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efﬁciency.” HE detergents such as TIDE® HE are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance in low water wash systems. Follow the deter gent manufacturer’s instructions to determine the correct amount of detergent to use. The washer’s new wash system will create too much sudsing if regular non-HE detergent is used. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance.

It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew.
