IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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, injury to persons, or death.
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 is the safety alert symbol.
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 WARNING or CAUTION.
These words mean:
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
CAUTION
You may be slightly injured or cause damage to the product if you do not 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.
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precau-
tions, including the following.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as
described in this owner’s Manual.
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 accu-
mulated 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 dis-
carded, remove the lid to prevent children from climb-
ing inside.
Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures.
Do not tamper with controls.
Keep the area underneath and around your appli-
ances free of combustible materials (lint, paper,
rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or
attempt any servicing other than as described in this
manual. We strongly recommend that any service be
performed by a qualified technician.
See Installation Instructions for grounding require-
ments.
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.
Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
only as recommended by the manufacturer.
This washer is not designed for maritime use or for
mobile installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.
Turn off the water faucets and unplug the washer if
the machine is to be left for an extended period of
time, such as during vacations.
Do not use to dry articles containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials.
Packaging material can be dangerous for children.
There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging
from children.
Always check the inside of the washer for foreign
objects before loading laundry. Keep the lid closed
when not in use.
Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is
moving.

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, injury to persons, or death.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and 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 risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or servicer if you are in doubt as to 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. Failure to follow these warnings can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

electric shock, or to prevent property damage, injury to persons, or death.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following.
Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed
grounding procedures. Installation instructions are
packed with the washer for installer’s reference. If
the washer is moved to a new location, have it
checked and reinstalled by a qualified service tech-
nician. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord. Failure to
follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the pos-
sibility of electric shock from this appliance.
This washer must be plugged into a 120 VAC, 60 Hz
grounded outlet. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly ground-
ed. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious
injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
Do not install on carpet. Install washer on a solid floor.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious
leak damage.
Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter
or extension cord. Plug into a grounded 3-prong out-
let. Failure to follow these warnings can cause seri-
ous injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
The washer should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating plate. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.

cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out
from the outlet. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
Repair or immediately replace all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric
shock, or death.
When installing or moving the washer, be careful not
to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. Failure to
follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
The washer must be installed and electrically ground-
ed by a qualified service person in accordance with
local codes to prevent shock hazard and assure
stability during operation.
The washer is heavy. Two or more people may be
needed to install and move the appliance. Failure to
do so can result in back or other injury.
Store and install the washer where it will not be ex-
posed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to
outdoor weather conditions. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious leak damage.
Do not install the washer in humid spaces to reduce
the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warn-
ing can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or
death.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, adhere to all
industry recommended safety procedures including
the use of long sleeved gloves and safety glasses.
Failure to follow all of the safety warnings in this
manual could result in property damage, injury to
persons or death.

electric shock, or to prevent property damage, injury to persons, or death.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE, CARE, CLEANING, AND DISPOSAL
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid the risk
of electric shock.
Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or
solvents to clean the washer. They will damage the
finish.
Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the
washer. These substances give off vapors that could
ignite the materials.
Do not wash items that are soiled with vegetable or
cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after
laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may
smoke or catch fire by itself.
Disconnect this appliance from the power supply
before attempting any user maintenance. Turning the
controls to the OFF position does not disconnect this
appliance from the power supply. Failure to follow
this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric
shock, or death.
Do not combine laundry products for use in one load
unless specified on the label.
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids
such as vinegar. Follow package directions when
using laundry products. Incorrect usage can produce
poisonous gas, resulting in serious injury or death.
Do not reach into the washer while parts are moving.
Before loading, unloading, or adding items, press the
START/PAUSE button and allow the drum to coast to a
complete stop before reaching inside. Failure to fol-
low this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when the
washer is used near children. As children grow, teach
them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Failure to
comply with these warnings could result in serious
injury to persons or death.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag, and other packing
materials after the washer is unpacked. Children
might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers. Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in serious injury to persons or death.
Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To
prevent injury to persons, observe all warnings on
product labels. Failure to comply with these warn-
ings could result in serious injury to persons or
death.
Remove the door to the washing compartment to
avoid the danger of children or small animals getting
trapped inside before your washer is removed from
service or discarded. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury to persons or death.
Make sure the dispenser lid is closed at all times
when not being filled with laundry products. Failure to
keep the lid closed can result in personal injury or
flooding.
Do not allow water, bleach or other liquids to sit in the
drum for extended periods. Doing so can corrode
the drum or cause mildew or odors.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Checking and choosing the proper
location
Install the washing machine on a solid floor that is
strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the
washing machine, even when fully loaded, without
flexing or bouncing. If the floor has too much flex,
you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. If
the floor is not solid, it may cause severe vibration
and noise.
1
Clean the floor before installation.
- Make sure to select solid and smooth ground.
2
Two or more people are needed for moving and
unpacking the washing machine.
3
Allow for sufficient space between the walls and
the washing machine for installation.
Space requirements
You must allow sufficient space for water lines, the
drain line, and airflow.
NOTE
y
Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings
that may increase the required clearances.

NOTE
y
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, 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.
y
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.
y
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.

Leveling the washing machine
The washer tub of your new washing machine spins
at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise,
and unwanted movement, the floor must be perfectly
level and solid.
1
Check the washing machine’s level.
- Check the precise level by rocking the top edges
of the washing machine or placing a level on
the washing machine. The slope beneath the
washing machine must not exceed 1°, and all
four leveling feet must rest firmly on the floor.
2
Turn the lower leveling feet clockwise to level the
washing machine.
- Turning the lower leveling feet clockwise raises
the washing machine.
3
Turn the locknuts counterclockwise and tighten
them when the washing machine is level.
4
Check the washing machine’s level again.
- Push or rock the top edges of the washing
machine gently to make sure that the washing
machine does not rock.
- If the washing machine rocks, repeat steps 1 to 3.
WARNING
y
Using the washing machine without leveling,
it may result in malfunction caused by the
production of excess vibration and noise.
y
If you are installing the washing machine on the
optional pedestal, you must adjust the leveling
feet on the pedestal to level the washing
machine. The washing machine´s leveling feet
should be minimized and turn the locknuts
counterclockwise to secure.
y
Use the leveling feet only when you level the
washing machine.
If you raise the leveling feet
unnecessarily, it may cause abnormal vibration
of the washing machine.
Using non-skid pads (optional)
If you install the washing machine on a slippery
surface, it may move because of excessive vibration.
Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through
noise and vibration. In the event of this, lay the non-
skid pads under the leveling feet and adjust the level.
1
Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.
- Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign
objects or moisture. If moisture remains, the
non-skid pads may slip.
2
Adjust the level after placing the washing machine
in the installation area.
3
Place the adhesive side of the non-skid pad on
the floor.
- It is most effective to install the non-skid pads
under the front legs. If it is hard to place the
pads under the front legs, place them under the
back legs.

Press .
- The wash cycle starts.
5
Check if water is supplied, that the washing
machine does not rock or vibrates excessively,
and that it drains well during the spin cycle.
- If water leaks during water supply, see page
14,
Connecting the water lines
to connect them
properly.
- If the washing machine rocks and vibrates
excessively, see page 16,
Leveling the washing
machine
to level it again.
- If the drain does not work, see page 15,
Connecting the drain line
to install it properly.
18
Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty.
- Items 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.
Pretreat heavily stained areas before washing.
- Doing so will produce clean, stain-free results.
Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first.
Large items should not be more than half of the
total washload.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
should not be tightly packed with items.
-The door of the washer should close easily.
Do not wash single items, except for bulky items
such as blankets. Make sure to wash laundry in
similar types of loads.
- Washing a single small item may result in the tub
becoming unbalanced, vibrating and making a
noise.
Do not wash waterproof clothes.
- This may cause abnormal vibration, or may
cause the load to bounce, which could damage
the tub.
Check if there are any other foreign objects in the
door seal and take extra care that clothes do not
get caught there.
- Foreign objects in the door seal may stain
clothes, and water may leak if clothes get caught
in the door seal.
Wash underwear or small, light items in a laundry
net.
- Small, light items may get caught in the door
seal, and a brassiere hook may damage other
items or the tub.
Brush heavy soil, dust, or hair off fabrics before
washing.
- Laundry may not wash clean if there is dirt or
sand on the fabrics, or they may damage due to
particles rubbing against sheer fabrics.
Wash blankets individually.
- Washing more than one blanket together may
result in poor cleaning performance due to
tangling or an unbalanced load.
Always separate fabrics according to their colors
and wash them separately to prevent colors from
running.
- Fabrics may damage or become stained due to
fabric dyes running, or due to foreign objects
transferring from one fabric to another.
u For best performance, load clothes as shown.

PREPARATION
Loading the dispenser
The detergent dispenser of the washing machine has
a dispenser compartment for each detergent type.
Add each detergent to its appropriate compartment.
1
Slide the detergent dispenser lid open.
2
Add each detergent to its appropriate
compartment.
- If you use a liquid detergent, make sure the
liquid detergent cup is in place.
- If you use a powdered detergent, remove the
liquid detergent cup and put the powder in the
main wash detergent compartment.
NOTE
y
Slide the detergent dispenser lid completely
closed before starting the cycle.
y
Be careful not to catch your hand when opening
and closing the lid.
y
It is normal for a small amount of water to
remain in the dispenser compartments at the
end of the cycle.
NOTE
y
Only use HE detergents, because using a
regular detergent may produce excessive suds.
y
HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve
more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing
performance, and help to keep the interior of
your washer clean.
y
Use less detergent for soft water.
y
Wipe up any spills immediately, as liquids could
damage the finish and the control panel of the
washing machine. If you do not wipe up any
spills with a soft cloth, the cycle and option
selections of the control panel may not operate.
y
Using too much detergent can cause a build-
up in the tub resulting in unsatisfactory
performance and machine malfunction.
y
If you use a detergent that does not dissolve
easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will
leave a residue and clog on the dispenser.
y
Dilute concentrated detergents with water; it
will leave a residue on the tub and may not
rinse properly.
Using detergent/fabric softener
Recommended detergent
Make sure to use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
for front-loading washing machines. HE detergents
dissolve more efficiently and produce fewer suds to
ensure efficient washing and rinsing. Use the correct
amount of detergent as indicated on the label of the
detergent packaging.
Do not use more than one detergent pod in the
washer. Using too much detergent may cause
oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance.
Reduce detergent amount or add an extra rinse if
detergent residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra
rinse, press the Extra Rinse button.
