property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
_ILWAR_!_I_I_G: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using this
appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following.
Before use, the washer must be properly installed as
described in this manual.
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 washer, 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
climbing inside.
Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures.
Do not tamper with controls.

INSTALLATIONINST UCTIONS
FLOORING
To minimize noise and vibration, the washer
MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
See the NOTE below.
Allowable slope under the entire washer is
maximum.
Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not
recommended.
Never install the washer on a platform or weakly
supported structure. Use only an approved
accessory pedestal as described below.
NOTE: Please note that the floor must be strong
and rigid enough to support the weight of the
washer when fully loaded, without flexing or
bouncing. If your floor has too much flex in it,
you may need to reinforce it to make it more
rigid. A floor that is adequate for a top-loading
washer may not be rigid enough for a front-
loading washer, due to the difference in the spin
speed and direction. If the floor is not solid, your
washer may vibrate and you may hear and feel
the vibration throughout your house.
NOTE: Before installing the
washer, make sure the floor is
clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, ,water and oils so the washer feet
can not slide easily. Leveling feet .......................
that can move or slide on the floor can contribute
to excess vibration and noise due to poor contact
with the floor.
NOTE: If a drip pan must
be used, take extra care
to follow the instructions
provided with the drip pan
and make sure the leveling
feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with
the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly
level the machine may result in increased vibration
and noise during operation.

retest.
iNSTALLATiON OF NON-SKID
PADS (OPTIONAL)
Some floor surfaces are too slippery to prevent
the washer from moving on the floor during
heavily unbalanced loads. While it is normal for
an occasional load to be out of balance, excess
noise and vibration can result from the washer
moving out of position. Ifthese conditions are
encountered, follow the instructions below for
installation of the non-skid pads. These pads
will help prevent the washer from moving during
heavy out of balance conditions thereby reducing
noise and vibration.

loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.
PUT IN DETERGENT
Open the dispenser drawer and add detergent to the main wash
compartment in the dispenser drawer. Add bleach and fabric
softener as desired.
TURN ON THE WASHER
Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the washer. The lights around
the cycle selector knob will illuminate.
SELECT A CYCLE
Turn the cycle selector knob to the desired cycle. The display will
show the preset wash/rinse temperature, spin speed, soil level,
and option settings for that cycle.
SELECT CYCLE SETTING
If you would like to change the settings for that cycle, press the
option button(s) to display additional settings for that option.
Press the button again to cycle through the settings until the
desired setting is shown.
NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/rinse
temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with
every cycle.
SELECT CYCLE OPTIONS
Select any additional cycle options, such as STEAM, DELAY
WASH, or COLDWASW mby pressing the button for that option,
or by pressing the OPTION button for additional options.
NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/rinse
temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with
every cycle.
BEGIN CYCLE
Press the START/PAUSE button to begin the cycle. To pause the
cycle at any time, press START/PAUSE.
NOTE: If the temperature in the washer is too high, the door
cannot be unlocked until the washer has cooled. If the water level
is too high, select the Drain & Spin cycle (see the page 23 for
details) to drain excess water. Do not try to force the door open.
CHECK CYCLE TIME
The door will latch, the display will change, and the washer will
calculate the estimated time remaining. Once the washer has
calculated the estimated total cycle time, the washer will start.
NOTE: Washing time can be reduced significantly for small
or lightly soiled loads by selecting the Speed Wash cycle and
setting the Soil Level button to Light.
NOTE: The cycle time displayed may appear much longer
than that of a top loading washer. The displayed time is for the
complete cycle, rather than just the agitation portion of the cycle,
as is typically shown on a top-loading washer.

Large items should not be more than half of the
total wash load.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
should not be tightly packed with items. The
door of the washer should close easily.
To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash
single items. Add one or two similar items to
the load. Large, bulky items, such as a blanket,
comforter, or bedspread should be washed
individually.
Do not wash or spin waterproof clothes.
When unloading the washer, check under the
door seal for small items.
NOTE: The front loading washer rotates the wet
laundry to wash it with less water. If you do not
see the water during washing, it is not a problem
because the laundry is sufficiently wet.
Grouping Similar Items
For best results, sort clothes into loads that can
be washed with the same wash cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements.
Always wash dark colors separately from light
colors and whites to prevent discoloration. If
possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with
lightly soiled ones. The chart below shows
recommended groupings.
Loading the washer
Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty, kems such as clips, matches, pens,
coins, and keys can damage both your washer
and your clothes.
Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to
prevent these items from snagging or tangling
on other clothes.
Pre-treat heavily stained areas for best results.
Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first.

SELECTING DETERGENT
ABOUT THE DISPENSER
IMPORTANT: Your Steam Washer TM is
designed for use with only High-Efficiency
(HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated
specifically for front-load washers and contain
suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE
symbol when purchasing detergent.
HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve
more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing
performance, and help to keep the interior of your
washer clean.
Using a regular detergent may cause excessive
sudsing and unsatisfactory performance.
IMPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry
products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid
fabric softener, on top of your washer or dryer.
Wipe up any spills immediately. These products
can damage the finish and controls.
Designed specially to use only
HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
The automatic dispenser consists of four
compartments which hold:
Liquid chlorine bleach.
Liquid fabric softener.
Liquid or powdered detergent for pre-wash.
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 the
most effective cleaning.
After adding the laundry products to the
dispenser, close the dispenser drawer.
To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to
the automatic dispenser:
0 Open the dispenser
drawer.
O Load the into thelaundry products
appropriate compartments.
Slowly close the dispenser drawer to
avoid early dispensing of the laundry
products.
NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to
remain in the dispenser compartments at the end
of the cycle.

HOWTOUSE
LOADING THE DISPENSER
Pre-wash Detergent Compartment
Add liquid or powdered detergent to this
compartment when using the pre-wash option.
Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with
your washing machine.
The amount of detergent added for the pre-wash
option is 1/2the amount recommended for the
main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash
cycle requires one measure of detergent, add
measure for the pre-wash option.
NOTE: If liquid detergent is to be used for the
main wash when using the pre-wash option, the
liquid detergent cup accessory must be used
in main wash dispenser to prevent the main
wash liquid detergent from being dispensed
immediately.
Main wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds laundry detergent
for the main wash cycle, which is added to
the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always
use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your
washing machine.
Never exceed the manufacturer's
recommendations when adding detergent.
Using too much detergent can result in
detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.
Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.
When using liquid detergent, make sure the
liquid detergent cup and insert are in place.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
When using powdered detergent, remove
the insert and liquid detergent cup from the
compartment. Powdered detergent will not
dispense with the liquid detergent cup and
insert in place.
NOTE: Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach
may be added to the main wash compartment
with detergent of the same type.
