WASHERSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

This is the safety alert symbol.

"WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

-, Read all instructions before using the washer.

-, Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with

gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they give off vapors

that could ignite or explode.

-, 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.

-, 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 the washing machine, 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.

-, Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is

used near children.

-, Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,

remove the door or lid.

-, Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is moving.

-, Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.

-, Do not tamper with controls.

-, Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in published user-repair instructions

that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

-, See "Electrical Requirements" for grounding instructions.

INSTRUCTIONS

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install washer.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the unit is within approximately 3 ft (90 cm) of the final location.

There are 4 bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the suspension system during transportation.

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 prop- eriy grounded,

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it wiHHnot fit the outHet,have a proper outHetinstaHHed by a quaHified eHectrician,

For a permanently connected washer: This washer must be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminaHor Head

on the appHiance,

Using a 1/2in. (13 mm) wrench, loosen each of the bolts.

Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic spacer

covering the bolt and the cable attached to the bolt. The power cord will be attached to all 4 bolts.

3. Once all 4 bolts are removed, remove the power cord from each bolt holder, and discard bolts, plastic spacers, and

cables.

4. Close the holes with the transport bolt hole plugs.

Connectthe inlet hoses to the water faucets

Make sure the washer drum is empty.

1. Using pliers, check the tightness of the hose couplings already attached to the washer.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result,

2. Attach the hose with the red color indicator to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the

washer.

3. Attach the hose with the blue color indicator to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the

washer.

4. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two- thirds turn,

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result,

Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the

risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference,

Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found,

To prevent drain water from going back into the washer:

• Do not straighten the drain hose, and do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure, but loose enough to provide a gap for air.

• Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.

Floor drain You may need additional parts, (See Floor Drain under "Alternate

Parts,")

Drape the power cord over the washer top,

Secure the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or standpipe with the beaded strap provided, (See illustrations 1 and 2,)

If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed (see illustration 3), put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe. Tightly wrap the beaded strap around the water

inlet hoses and the drain hose,

Do not force excess drain hose into the standpipe.

Properly leveling your washer prevents excessive noise and vibration.

1. Check the levelness of the washer by placing a level on the top edge of the washer, first side-to-side, then front-to-back.

Proper routing of the drain hose protects your floors from damage due to water leakage. Carefully read and follow these

instructions.

The drain hose is connected to your washer.

If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly before tipping back, If the washer is not level, first prop the front with a wood block (2" x 4") and adjust the feet as necessary; then prop the back and adjust feet as necessary, Repeat this step until washer is level,

After the washer is level, use a % in, (17 mm) open-end wrench to turn the nuts on the feet tightly against the washer

cabinet. All 4 feet must be tightened. If the nuts are not tight against

the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.

3. Slide the washer to its final location.

FFATURESANDBENEFITS

Electronic Controls Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a

beginner or an expert.

Smart Dispensers

The smart dispensers make your washer truly automatic. This

washer provides a three-compartment dispenser which includes separate compartments for detergent, fabric softener, and bleach. The dispenser has large pour zones, is self-cleaning, and

can be easily removed. Laundry products are diluted with fresh water and added to the load at the proper time in the wash cycle.

Auto Water Level This washer automatically adjusts water level for best cleaning

and rinsing performance. Two sensors determine load size, load composition, and suds level, then the sensors adjust the water level to the proper setting. This eliminates guesswork. The water level is just right for every wash load size.

Larger Load Size

Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items like a king-sized bedspread. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads.

Suspension System

To reduce washer "walk" and "off-balance" conditions, your new washer combines:

• 2 Springs to isolate vibration

• 4 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement

Stainless Steel Drum

The Stainless Steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time.

High-Efficiency Wash System

Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with fewer, larger loads, and lowers your water and energy bills by helping conserve resources.

Spin Speeds

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. This factory setting can be changed, however. This washer offers up to four different spin speed choices.

ACCUWASH TM Automatic Temperature Control

The ACCUWASH TM control electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature. ACCUWASH control regulates incoming hot and cold water. ACCUWASH control is automatically turned On when a cycle is selected.

Add A Garment

At the beginning of the Whitest Whites, Heavy Duty and Normal/ Casual cycles, this washer allows an 8-minute period in which forgotten garments may be added to a load. The ADD A GARMENT status light will glow during this 8-minute period.

CATALYS'F _Cleaning Action with Direct Injection This washer channels 100% of the water through the dispensers

to assure thorough rinse-out and mixture of all the additives before they touch any garments. The water is then sprayed from the top front onto the center of the load, providing even distribution and optimum cleaning performance. It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.

Efficient Detergent System This washer has a specially designed valve that closes during the

wash portion of the cycle so that 100% of the water and detergent mixture is used on the load. The Efficient Detergent System ensures that no water or detergent is wasted.

Dynamic Off-Balance Detection This washer uses two sensors to detect load size and the amount

of off-balance within the load. The suspension system and controls are specially designed to redistribute the load automatically.

Fire Hazard

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

fluids.

No washer can completely remove oH. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of

oit on it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, e×plosion, or fire.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to

persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

The following is a guide to using your washer. Please refer to

specific sections of this manual for more detailed information. Do not store laundry products on the top surface of this washer.

Vibration is normal during operation.

First Wash Cycle Without Laundry Before washing clothes for the first time, choose NORMAL/

CASUAL cycle and run it without clothes. After installation, if a complete cycle has not been run without clothes, use 1/2the normal recommended amount of powdered or liquid High Efficiency (HE) detergent or 1Athe normal recommended amount of regular powdered or liquid detergent. This initial cycle serves

to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.

1. To load washer Open the washer door by pulling on the handle. Sort laundry

according to color and type of fabric. Place a load of sorted clothes in the washer. Do not overload washer. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.

• The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed.

Washer door should close easily.

• Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items. Load evenly.

• It is recommended that you wash small items such as infant socks in a mesh garment bag.

• When unloading garments, occasionally check under the rubber rim at the front of the tub for small items.

Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the lock clicks. The washer door will remain locked during the wash cycle.

NOTE: After any wash cycle is completed, the door must be opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin. The door can be opened only if PAUSE/CANCEL is selected while the ADD A GARMENT light is glowing or if the cycle has been cancelled. See "To Cancel a Cycle."

Open the Dispenser Drawer and add laundry products to the detergent, bleach, or fabric softener compartments. Close drawer slowly to avoid spills. See "Using the Dispenser."

NOTE: For best performance, use High Effficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." The wash action along with less water could create too much sudsing with a regular detergent.

4. Turn on the washer by selecting one of the wash cycles. The indicator light for the selected cycle will glow. When selecting a wash cycle, the preset cycle, Water Temp, Spin Speed, and

soil level for the selected cycle will glow. The display shows the estimated time remaining. The preset settings provide the

recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See "Cycles."

5. Select the desired OPTIONS. Not all options are available with all cycles. See "Options."

6. Select the desired MODIFIERS. Not all modifiers are available with all cycles and options. See "Modifiers."

7. If desired, select the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL. The signal is helpful when you are washing items that should be removed from the washer as soon as it stops. Select LOUDER or

SOFTER.

8. To begin the wash cycle Select CONTROL ON.

• If you do not select HOLD TO START within 5 minutes of

choosing a cycle, the washer automatically shuts off.

• When the wash cycle is complete, the CYCLE

COMPLETE status light glows, the door unlocks, and the wash load can be removed from the washer. The washer

powers down automatically 5 minutes after the cycle is complete and the CYCLE COMPLETE light is goes off. To power down the washer manually after the wash cycle is complete, select PAUSE/CANCEL once.

;JY3¸i , .....

Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate compartments for your laundry products--one is for detergent, one is for liquid chlorine bleach, and one is for liquid fabric softener. Laundry products are diluted and dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to

add them. It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the

dispensers when the wash cycle is complete. Do not put laundry additives directly into the wash tub. Always

use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.

Choosing the Right Detergent 2 For best washing performance, use a High Efficiency (HE), or

low-sudsing, detergent. Regular detergents may cause oversudsing in the washer. If an HE detergent is unavailable, use 1/2the recommended amount of regular detergent. Use of regular detergent will lead to unsatisfactory performance over time.

Most detergents formulated for hand-washing are not meant for front-loading washers and may cause oversudsing. Start with 1/4 the recommended amount. If oversudsing occurs, try a detergent formulated for high efficiency washers.

To fill dispenser compartments •

1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.

2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment.

3. Push in the dispenser drawer carefully and completely (to avoid spillage).

Liquid detergent: Put the SEPARATOR in the front position, between the guides, as shown following. There will be no gap between the bottom of the wash cycle detergent compartment and the bottom of the separator.
