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.

v Do not use extention cord.

v Do not remove ground pin from plug.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check

WARNING

v 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

personal injury.

v 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 personal injury

v Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To

prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on

product labels. Failure to comply with these warnings

could result in serious personal injury.

or discarded, remove the door to the washing

compartment to avoid the danger of children or small

animals getting trapped inside. Failure to do so can

result in serious personal injury or death.

When removing the washer from the carton base, be

sure to remove the foam drum support in the middle of

the carton base. See drawing below.

If you must lay the washer down to remove the base

packaging materials, always protect the side of the

washer and lay it carefully on its side. DO NOT lay the

washer on its front or back.

To prevent internal damage during transport, the washer

is equipped with four shipping bolts and plastic retainers.

IMPORTANT:

v These shipping bolts and retainers MUST NOT be

removed until just before moving the washer into its

oQDOSRVLWLRQ

v These bolts and retainers MUST be removed before

operating the washer.

v Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may

cause severe vibration and noise, which can lead to

permanent damage to the washer.

NOTE: The power cord is secured to the back of the

washer with a shipping bolt to help prevent operation

with shipping bolts in place.

1. Starting with the bottom two shipping bolts, use the

wrench (included) to fully loosen all four shipping

bolts by turning them counterclockwise.

2. Remove the bolt assemblies by wiggling them

slightly while pulling.

3. Locate the four hole caps included in the accessory

pack and install them in the shipping bolt holes.

NOTE: Save the bolt assemblies for future use. To

prevent damage to internal components, DO NOT

transport the washer without reinstalling the shipping

bolts.

v IMPORTANT: Use new hoses when installing the

washer. Do NOT reuse old hoses.

v IMPORTANT: ONLY use new, high-quality inlet hoses

when installing this laundry product. Aftermarket hoses

hoses may not tighten correctly and could cause leaks.

Subsequent damage to product or property will not be

covered under the terms of the product warranty.

v Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi and

120 psi (138 - 827 kPa). If the water supply pressure is

more than 120 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be

installed.

v Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and wear,

and replace the hose if necessary.

v Make sure that the water lines are not stretched,

pinched, crushed, or kinked.

v The washer should never be installed or stored in a

location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to

the water lines and internal mechanisms of the washer

can result. If the washer was exposed to freezing

temperatures prior to installation, allow it to stand at

room temperature for several hours before use and

check for leaks prior to operation.

v Do not install the end of the drain hose lower than 29

in. (73.7 cm) or higher than 96 in. (243.8 cm) above

the bottom of the washer.

v The drain must be installed in accordance with any

applicable local codes and regulations.

v Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched,

pinched, crushed, or kinked.

NOTE:

A drain hose extension kit is

available if the drain hose

is not long enough. Do not

extend the drain hose more

than 6 feet (2m), as this will

cause poor draining, which will

result in poor wash and spin

performance.

Fabric Care Labels

Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label.

Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option

selections to care for your clothing according to the

manufacturer’s recommendations.

Grouping Similar Items

For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility

of damage to clothing, care should be taken to sort the

clothing into loads that are made up of similar items.

0L[LQJGLçHUHQWIDEULFW\SHVDQGRUVRLOOHYHOVFDQUHVXOW

in poor wash performance, color transfer or discoloration,

fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into

groups as described below.

Colors

Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in a

separate load from light colors or whites. Mixing dark

clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or

discoloration of the lighter clothes.

Soil Level

Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing lightly

soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled

clothing could result in poor wash performance for the

lightly soiled clothing.

Fabric Type

Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavier or

sturdier fabric types. Washing delicates in a load with

heavy fabrics can result in damage to the more delicate

fabrics. Washing heavier fabrics in a delicate load can

result in poor wash performance for the heavier fabrics

and possible damage to the delicates.

Lint Type

Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others

JLYHRçOLQWLQWKHODXQGU\SURFHVV$YRLGPL[LQJWKHVH

lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing

these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint

collectors. (For example, lint collector – knit sweater; lint

producer – terrycloth towels.)

Loading the Washer

v 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.

v Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from

snagging or tangling on other clothes.

v Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.

v &RPELQHODUJHDQGVPDOOLWHPVLQDORDG/RDGODUJHLWHPVoUVW

v Large items should not be more than half of the total wash load.

v The drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of

the washer should close easily.

v 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.

v Do not wash or spin waterproof items, such as rain coats, sleeping

bags, etc.

v When unloading the washer, check under the door seal for small

items.

NOTE:

Make sure that the door seal area is clear when closing

the door. Overloading the washer can cause items to get caught

between the door and the seal. This can damage both the items

and the seal.

SORTING WASH LOADS

HOW TO USE

The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments

which hold:

v Liquid chlorine bleach.

v Liquid fabric softener.

v Liquid or powdered detergent for prewash.

v Liquid or powdered detergent and color-safe bleach

for main wash.

Pre-Wash Detergent Compartment

Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment

when using the Pre-Wash option. Always use High-

(èFLHQF\+(GHWHUJHQWZLWK\RXUZDVKLQJPDFKLQH

The amount of detergent added for the Pre-Wash

option should be ½ the amount recommended for the

main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash cycle

requires ½ measure of detergent, add ¼ measure to the

Pre-Wash compartment.

NOTE:

If using liquid detergent for the main wash when

using the Pre-Wash option, the liquid detergent cup

accessory must be used in the main wash dispenser. This

will prevent the main wash liquid detergent from being

dispensed immediately.

Main Wash Detergent Compartment

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main

wash cycle. The detergent is added to the load at the

or liquid detergent may be used.

Never

exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations

when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can

result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.

NOTE:

Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be

added to the main wash compartment with detergent of

the same type. DO NOT add liquid or powdered

detergent recommended by the manufacturer.

Always measure the detergent amount. While HE

detergents are designed for this type of washing

machine, be careful when measuring the detergent. For

most normal loads, no more than ¼ to ½ of cap or

scoop of HE detergent should be used.

NOTE:

Extra care must be exercised when using

CYCLE STATUS INDICATOR

These status LEDs illuminate to indicate which

stage of the cycle is currently running. A blinking

light indicates the active stage of the cycle. When

that stage is complete, the light will remain steady.

DOOR LOCK INDICATOR

will lock while the washer is operating. The door can

be unlocked by pressing START/PAUSE to pause the

washer.

door cannot be unlocked until the washer

has cooled.

v If the water level is too high, the door will not

unlock. To drain the water, press POWER, then press

the SPIN SPEED button without selecting a cycle.

Press START/PAUSE and the water will drain and

the clothes will spin out. Do not try to force the

door open, as this will damage the door.
