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. Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, or spotted with gasoline, other flammable or explosive substances, as they emit vapors that could ignite or explode.

HELPFUL HINTS

1. Your Washer spins at a high 1200 rpm spinspeed, which will extract more water especially from absorbent fabrics and reduce the degree of dampness as This will cut down on your drying time.
2. FABRIC SOFTENER: After the wash cycle, the clothes can get stuck to the sides of the drum. USING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER WILL CAUSE THE CLOTHES TO UNSTICK IMMEDIATELY AND REDUCE WRINKLES.
3. OVERLOADING: The drum has a capacity of 13 Ibs The drum should be loaded only to 2/3 of its capacity olherwise it reduces air flow and causes increase in dry time.
4. USE HIGH EFFICIENCY (HE) DETERGENT: By using High Efficiency (HE) detergent, you are preventing suds from entering the condensing chamber. When suds enter the condensing chamber, the particles can clog up the chamber and the fan blower. Over time, this reduces drying efficiency and may require the fan blower (impeller) to becleaned. For this and all other front -loading/horizontal-axis units, High Efficiency (HE) detergents go a long way to improve the efficiency of the units.
5. SORTING: When sorting laundry always take into consideration the quantity and type of fabric containec in the load. Highly absorbent fabrics such as those used in towels or jeans will absorb more water and become very heavy when saturated. If you notice that your clothes are taking longer than usual to dry you may be overloading the machine, or washing too many highly absorbent articles for a single load.

PRE-INSTALLATION

1. The unit must be installed on a strong leveled surface in a protected, dry and well-ventilated area, with a power and water supply of sufficient capacity and a sufficient outlet in close proximity.

2. Installation on Carpet or Wood increases vibrations.
   • Carpets — place on light carpet only.
   • Wood — brace floor with screws and place additional sheets of plywood before installation.

3. This unit’s installation and grounding should be done in accordance with local codes by a qualified installer “Installation Instructions” are included in this manual for the Installer’s reference.

4. The unit should be plugged into a properly grounded three (3) prong electrical outlet of 110V/60Hz with minimum 15 Amps, It should not be controlled by a wall switch or pull cord which might be turned off accidentally.
