IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to

persons when using your appliance, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described

in this use and care guide.

3. Use only detergents or softeners recommended for use in a clothes

washer and keep them out of the reach of children.

4. This washer must be properly installed in accordance with the

installation instructions before it is used.

5. Never unplug your washer by pulling on the power cord. Always

grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

6. Replace immediately worn power cords, loose plugs/power outlets.

7. Unplug your washer before cleaning or before making any repairs.

8. If your old washer is not being used, we recommend that you

remove the door. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.

9. Do not operate your washer in the presence of explosive fumes.

10. Do not use washer to wash clothes soaked, spotted or washed in

gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or any other explosive or flammable

substances that could ignite and explode.

11. Clothes or rags used to clean flammable or explosive materials should

not be washed in the washer till all traces of this material has been

removed, to avoid an accident.

12. Do not add or mix any flammable or explosive substances to the wash.

13. Do not try to remove clothes while the tub or the agitator is moving. Let it

come to a complete stop before use.

14. Washer loading door must be closed when agitator and tub is spinning.

15. Do not operate your washer when parts are missing or parts are broken.

16. Do not use the washer for commercial clothes washing.

17. Do not operate washer unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

18. Do not tamper with controls.

19. To reduce risk of injury do not allow children to play in or on the washer.

20. Washer must be connected to proper electrical outlet with the correct

electrical supply.

21. Proper grounding must be ensured to reduce the risk of shock and fire.

English

DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PLUG. If you do not

have a three-prong electric receptacle outlet in the wall, have a certified

electrician install the proper receptacle. The wall receptacle MUST be

properly grounded.

22. Hydrogen gas may be produced if the water heater has not been used in

more then 2 weeks. This could be explosive and can explode under

certain circumstances. If this is the case, before using the washer turn on

all the hot faucets and let the hot water run for a few minutes. This will let

the trapped hydrogen escape. During this process do not turn on an

electric appliance, smoke, light a match/lighter or use a flame to avoid

an accident, as hydrogen gas is flammable and can explode.

Operations

Wash Cycle/Wash Time:

• Select the appropriate cycle based on the fabric type and select the

appropriate wash time based on the soil level. For your convenience, the

washer has REGULAR, DELICATE, HAND-WASHABLE, and

PERMANENT PRESS cycles.

Note: Turn the knob CLOCK WISE to your desired setting.

Once the cycle is selected, then PULL OUT the knob to START.

This will turn the washer "ON". To turn the washer off,

move the knob to any "OFF" position.

Soak Cycle: This is used for heavily soiled or stained clothes. Here the tub fills with

water than pauses to soak the clothes. The cycle is completed when

water is extracted by spinning of the drum. This cycle is approximately

16 minutes.

Regular Cycle: This is used for work & play, household linens and heavy to lightly

soiled cottons clothes. With regular wash speed, the agitator moves

faster. This cycle is approximately 15 minutes for heavy wash and 6

minutes for regular wash.

Delicate Cycle: This is used for special care fabric, lingerie with normal soil clothes

and delicate items. With delicate wash speed, the agitator moves

slower. This cycle is approximately 6 minutes for regular wash and

3 minutes for light wash.

Hand-Washable Cycle: This is used for lingerie, labeled "Hand-Washable" with

light soil clothes. With hand-washable wash speed, the

agitator moves very gently. This cycle is approximately 6

minutes.

Permanent Press Cycle: This cycle is used for knits, permanent press and

wrinkle-free clothes. With permanent press wash speed,

the agitator moves faster. This cycle is approximately

9 minutes for regular wash and 6 minutes for light wash.

Load Size/Water Level:

• Depending on the size of your load that you want to wash, you can

select the appropriate water level settings: Small, Medium or Large.

Load Size

Reset Mode:

• If you need additional water, turn the knob to the RESET position.

Hold it until you have the amount of water you need. Once done,

return to your original load size setting.

Warning: If you hold the RESET knob for an extended periods while the washer is

running then it will cause washer to overflow.

Loading the Washer:

• Load each item loosely.

• Separate the white and colored clothes. Separate heavy clothes from

light clothes.

• Carefully check all pockets and cuffs for small items.

They can easily slide in to the tub and may damage the tub.

• Pre-treat all stains and heavily soiled areas for best results.

• Do not overload your washer.

• When loading wet items, keep water level high enough so items

can float easily in the water.

• Avoid wrapping large items such as bed sheets around the agitator.

• Close the door properly after loading the clothes. If you keep the lid

up, the agitation will not start.

Proper Use of Detergent:

• It is good washing practice to add the detergent to the water

before you add the clothes so that the detergent can work

effectively on your clothes.

Note: You can use less or more detergent depending on the size of the

load, water type in your living area, whether it is soft or hard and

whether the clothes are heavily soiled or lightly soiled.

English

Fabric Softener Dispenser:

• The fabric softener dispenser is located on the top of the agitator.

Dispenser will automatically release liquid fabric softener

at proper time during rinse cycle.

Steps to use the dispenser:

1. Pour in liquid fabric softener into dispenser as recommended

by the manufacturer.

2. Add water up to its fill level, but do not exceed the level.

Warning: • Never pour fabric softener directly onto clothes because it will stain

your clothes or you may get spots on your clothes.

• Do not stop washer during its first spin or dispenser will automatically

release the softener in to the wash load.

• Do not use powder form of softener into dispenser otherwise it will

clog up the dispenser. This dispenser is only designed for liquid form.

Bleach Dispenser:

• Bleach dispenser is located on front corner under the lid.

• Pour in recommended amount of bleach into dispenser

during the first wash fill.

Note: Use only liquid bleach in dispenser. You can use powdered bleach by

directly adding it to wash tub.

Warning: • Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach on the washer cabinet or your

clothes. As it is a strong chemical, it may damage some of your clothes

or the finish of the washer if not properly diluted.

• Use the manufacturer’s chart, on product container for recommended

use of liquid or powder bleach.

Temperature Control:

WASH/RINSE Temperature

• Depending on what types of clothes you are washing, select the desired tempera-

ture setting. See the garment for proper temperature that is recommended by gar-

ment manufacturers. You can wash and rinse from five temperature combinations:

WASH/RINSE TYPES OF FABRICS

Hot/Cold Sturdy whites & colored fabrics such as work & play clothes, soiled fabrics

Warm/Warm Delicate & colored fabric

Warm/Cold Soiled, permanent press, silks, woolens, nylon & acrylic

Cold/Cold Non-colors Fabrics, lingerie with light or normal soil clothes & special care fabrics

Note: Hot water needs to be at a temperature of at least 120˚F – 140˚F. (49˚C-

60˚C) for the soap to dissolve and to avoid soap residue remains on clothes.

Temperature

Normal Operating Sounds

The following sounds are normally heard during the

operation of the washer:

• Clanging: This is normal as the heavy wet clothes in the Washer are

continuously being tossed around.

• Air rushing noise: This happens when the Washer tub spins at

very high RPM.

• Wash and Rinse cycles going on and off will also make clicking sounds.

Lint Filter

• A self-cleaning lint filter works throughout the wash cycle to

constantly remove lint and other residue from the water. It is located

between the outer and inner tub. As water passes from the outer tub to

the inner tub, water is forced through the bottom of the lint filter.

The filter catches lint and holds it until the spin cycle begins.

During the spin cycle, due to automatic centrifugal force of the

machine it removes the lint by pulling it off the bottom of the filter

and washing it down the drain.

Note: It does not require any maintenance or special cleaning.

Safety Lid Switch

• If for any reason you open the lid in the middle of the wash cycle, the

washer will not spin and will shut off automatically. Once the lid is

closed, the washer will start back on.

English

Warning: Always unplug your washer to avoid electric shock before cleaning.

Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury. Before using

cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions

and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Use only damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning control panel.

• To avoid any kind of damage to cabinet finish, wipe washer cabinet as

needed. If you spill liquid/powdered softener, bleach or detergent on the

cabinet, wipe cabinet immediately because it can damage the finish.

• Do not use any abrasive, harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach,

concentrated detergent, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these

chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your washer.

• Remove pins or other sharp objects from clothes to prevent scratching

interior parts.

• Leave lid open after you are done washing to allow inside of washer to

dry and prevent bad orders.

Care and Cleaning Guide

English

Moving & Vacationing

•Turn off water supply faucets and disconnect hoses. Drain water from all hoses.

This will prevent from damaging due to water leakage if the hoses accidentally get

ruptured or they become loose.

• Disconnect electrical plug.

• Dry inner wash tub. If moving washer, disconnect drain hose.

• Turn the leveling legs clockwise all the way in.

• Reinstall both shipping and drum braces to prevent inner and outer tubs from

shaking when washer is moving to another location.

• Move and store your washer in upright position only.

• To prevent mold or mildew, leave lid open so moisture inside

machine can evaporate.

Storage of Your Washer in Cold Environment

• The Washer must be stored at room temperature.

• If you just got delivery of a washer when outside temperature is below freezing,

do not operate until washer has warmed to room temperature.

• Do not install or operate your washer where room temperature is below freezing.

English

Washer does not operate:

• Check if unit is plugged in. The plug may have come loose.

• Check if the electrical wall receptacle is of proper voltage.

• Check if the circuit breaker needs to be reset or if the fuse

needs to be replaced.

• Check if the unit is in “Off” mode.

• Check if the washer is overloaded: load may need to be

re-balanced and clothes may need to be redistributed.

• Check if the lid is open. You may have to close the lid properly.

• Check if the control knob is set properly. You may have to

adjust the control knob.

• The washer pauses in some cycles. This is normal in delicate or

hand-washable cycle, which has short soak period where your clothes

are being soaked for very short period of time. You will not hear washer

operation for a short period of time. When the soak time is over,

it will start automatically.

Problems with water:

• Not enough water coming out: Water faucet may need to be turned on

fully. Water hoses may be tangled up or wrinkled up. Straighten up

hoses. Check water level selection, it may need to be readjusted.

• Water Temperature is incorrect: Check your water heater temperature.

Hot water needs to be at a temperature at least 120˚F. -140˚F

(49˚C – 60˚C.). Check to make sure the inlet hoses are properly

connected. (e.g. hot to hot & cold to cold)

• Water leaks: This is due to not properly installing drain hose or fill

hoses. Your home drain may be clogged or having constant

water pressure. You may need to tighten hoses, check the

plumbing or call a plumber.

• Water pumped out before the cycle is completed: It happens if you open

the lid in the middle of cycle.

• Water will not drain: This is due to not installing your drain hose

properly. You may need to connect the drain hose properly. Check the

position of the drain hose. In order to drain properly, make sure that top

of drain outlet is less than 4 ft. (1.2 m) above the floor.

Troubleshooting

English

Washer is making noise:

• Washer may need to be reinstalled. (Check washer installation section)

• Washer load may need to be re-balanced, as the load may be uneven.

• Coins, loose change, buttons or other heavy objects could make noise

(read Operating Guide – Normal Operating Sounds).

• Squealing Sound: Due to overloaded wash tub.

• Vibration Noise: Due to not leveling washer properly on the floor and

uneven distribution of clothes in the tub.

Problems with clothes:

• Clothes are too wrinkled: this is due to improper sorting, overloading

and washing in too hot water repeatedly. Avoid overloading and resort

your load. Do not mix heavy clothes such as work clothes with light

clothes such as blouses, light shirts and delicate items. You may need to

wash in warm or cold water.

• Have soap residue: detergent may not be dissolving in water. Check

water temperature or you need to add detergent as wash tub is being

filled with water before you load your clothes to avoid soap

residue on clothes.

• Spots or stains on your clothes: this is due to incorrect use of fabric

softener. You may need to read proper instructions on the container

and follow proper directions for using the softener.

• Clothes are grayed or yellowed: this is due to not pouring enough

detergent for large loads. You may have to add more detergent

to the load.

• Clothes are ripped & have holes/excessive wear & tear: this is due to

sharp objects such as pins and belt buckles left in pockets. You will need

to remove small loose sharp objects. Fasten belts, zippers, metal snaps

etc. Check if you are using undiluted bleach. Never add undiluted

bleach to wash.
