READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT SSAAFFEETTYY IINNSSTTRRUUCCTTIIOONNSS
• 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, or 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 to prevent children
from hiding inside.
• 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 the user-maintenance
instructions or published user-repair instructions
that you understand and have the skills to carry
out.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding
requirements.
• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions
supplied by the garment manufacturer.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your
washer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause
a load to catch fire.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
SSAAVVEE TTHHEESSEE IINNSSTTRRUUCCTTIIOONNSS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk

Installation clearances
The location must be large enough to fully open
the washer door.
Washer dimensions
• Most installations require a minimum 4 in.
(10 cm) clearance behind the washer.
Minimum installation spacing for
recessed area installation.
The following dimensions shown are for the minimum
spacing allowed.
Additional spacing should be considered for
installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall,
door and floor moldings.
• Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of
the washer is recommended to reduce noise
transfer.
Companion appliance spacing should also be
considered.
Level floor
• Allowable slope under entire washer is 1°.
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer
MUST be installed on a solidly constructed
floor.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not
recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly
supported structure.
NOTE: A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a
front-loading washer than to a top-loader.
If your floor is wood and/or frame
construction, you may need to reinforce it.
Front-loaders use substantially faster spin
speeds than top-loaders, causing greater
vibration. If the floor is not solid, your washer
will vibrate. You will hear and feel the
vibration throughout your house.
Power outlet
•
Must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of either side of the
washer. Do not overload the outlet with more
than one appliance.
• Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation
of the customer to have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

!
CAUTION! Concerning the Power Cord
Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that
appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of this owner's manual to be
certain.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords,
or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire.
Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it,
discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or

Level adjustment
• Leveling the washing machine properly prevents
excessive noise and vibration.
Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface,
preferably in a corner of the room.
• If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable feet as
required. (Do not insert pieces of wood, etc. under the
feet.)
NOTE: Extend the feet no more than necessary to level
the washer. The more the feet are extended, the
more the washer will vibrate.
• Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting on
the floor and then check that the appliance is perfectly
level (Use a level).
• After the washer is level, tighten the lock nuts up
against of the base of the washer. All lock nuts must
be tightened.
• It is critical to adjust the feet perfectly. This must be
done while the washer is spinning with a load. Use the
wrench (supplied) to adjust the feet until there is no
vibration. Then tighten the lock nuts to prevent further
adjustment.
NOTE: If there are vibration and noise during the spin
cycle, re-check the leveling of the washer, adjust
the feet as required, and tighten the lock nuts
securely to prevent changes in adjustment.
Run the washer with a test load to make certain
your washer is properly leveled. Put
approximately 6 pounds of laundry in the
machine. Then, press POWER, RINSE+SPIN, and
START/PAUSE, in that order. When the machine
spins at high speed, verify that it is stable. If not,
adjust the feet accordingly.
• If you install the washer and dryer with pedestals, it is
necessary to level with the pedestal feet.
Diagonal Check
When pushing down the edges of the washing machine
top plate diagonally, the machine should not move up
and down at all. (Please, check both directions.)
If the machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate
diagonally, adjust the feet again.

PREPARATION BEFORE WASHING
10
1. Fabric Care Labels
Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment and how it should
be washed.
2. Sorting
To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.
Different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.
Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing
discoloration of white clothing. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.
Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
Color (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
Lint (Lint Producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.
3. Check before loading
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.
Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.
Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.
Single bulky items, such as blanket, comforter, or bedspread can be washed separately.
• Check all the pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Things such as clip, matches, pens,
coins, and keys can damage both your washer
and your clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks, and strings to make sure
that these items do not snag on other clothes.
• Pretreat dirt and stains by brushing a little
detergent dissolved in water onto stains like
collars and cuffs to help lift dirt.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
NOTE: Do not wash or spin water-proof clothes.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of
the washer should close easily.
When unloading items, check under the door seal for small items.
USING THE DISPENSER
ENGLISH
11
The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments which hold 1) liquid chlorine bleach, 2) liquid fabric
softener, 3) liquid or powdered detergent for prewash and 4) liquid or powdered detergent
and color safe bleach for main wash.
All laundry products can be added at once in their respective dispenser compartments.
They will be dispensed at the appropriate time for most effective cleaning. After loading the laundry
additives into the dispenser, close the dispenser drawer.
Add detergent, bleach and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser following these steps:
1. Open the dispenser drawer.
2. Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.
3. Close the dispenser drawer slowly to avoid early dispensing of the laundry products.
NOTE: It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.
About detergent
• Add detergent to this compartment when using
the Prewash option. Liquid or powdered
detergent may be used in this compartment. The
detergent will automatically be dispensed during
Prewash if the Prewash option is selected.
• Add 1/2 the recommended amount of detergent
to the Prewash compartment and the
recommended amount of detergent to the main
wash compartment.
NOTE : Liquid detergent will drain into the washer
drum as it is added.

USING THE DISPENSER
12
• Add measured detergent to this compartment for
Main wash. Detergent is flushed from the
dispenser at the beginning of the cycle. Either
powdered or liquid detergent can be used.
• Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be
added to the main wash compartment along with
the same type of liquid or powdered detergent.
• When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid
detergent box and insert are in place. Do not
exceed the maximum fill line.
• For powered detergent, remove both the liquid
detergent box and insert.
• Powdered detergent will not dispense with the
liquid detergent box and insert in place.
2. Main Wash Detergent Compartment
• Add measured liquid chlorine bleach to this
compartment. The bleach will be automatically
dispensed at the proper time during the wash
cycle.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can
cause early dispensing of the bleach which could
result in damaged clothes.
• Do not pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly
onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can
occur.
• Do not use powdered bleach in this compartment.
3. Liquid Bleach Compartment
• Add recommended amount of fabric softener to
this compartment.
• Dilute concentrated softeners with warm water to
the fill line.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can
cause early dispensing of the fabric softener which
could result in stained clothes.
• Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash
load.
• The fabric softener will be automatically dispensed
during the last rinse cycle.
NOTE: Do not place, store, or spill laundry products

The water inlet filter
• " " error message will blink on the control panel when water does not enter the dispenser.
• If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.
We recommend cleaning it every few months.
Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
When disposing of the appliance, cut off the power cable, destroy the plug, and disable the door lock to prevent
young children from being trapped inside.
1. Open the lower cover cap ().
Turn the drain plug () to pull
out the hose.
2. Unplug the drain plug ,
allowing the water to flow out.
At this time use a vessel to
prevent water from flowing
onto the floor. When water does
not flow any more, turn the
pump filter open to the left.
3. Remove any foreign objects from
the pump filter . After cleaning,
turn the pump filter clockwise
and insert the drain plug to the
original place. Close the lower
cover cap.
The drain pump filter

The drain filter collects threads and small objects left in the laundry.
Check regularly that the filter is clean to ensure smooth running of your machine.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Dispenser
•
The dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to laundry additive build-up.
• Run warm water and use a soft brush or cloth on the drawer, liquid detergent box and inserts to remove any excess
laundry additives.
• Clean the drawer opening using water and a small brush.
• Follow the illustrations in reverse order to replace the parts to their proper location.
NOTE: Do not use any cleaning substance on the drawer opening other than water because it will drain into the tub.
If this should happen, set the washer for a rinse and spin cycle to remove any cleaning substance from the
washer before doing a load of laundry.
The washing drum
• Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle is completed. Wrinkling, color transfer, and odors may be
produced in items left in the washing drum.
• If you live in a hard water area, lime scale can continuously build up in places where it cannot be seen
and it is not easily removed from the drum.
Over time the build-up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check, these will eventually
have to be replaced.
• Although the washing drum is made of Stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused by small metal articles
(paper clips, safety pins, etc.) which have been left in the drum.
• The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time.
• If you use descaling agents, dyes, or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for washing machine use.
• Descaler could contain components that can damage part of your washing machine.
• Remove the spots with a stainless steel cleaning agent.
• Never use steel wool.
