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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

• Never unplug your washer by pulling on the power

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

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

• 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.

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.

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.

Installing on a pedestal

NOTE

y

Refer to the instructions packaged with the

optional PEDESTAL before installing with a

PEDESTAL.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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.

PREPARATION

 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.

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.

PREPARATION

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.
