WARNING!
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND PERSONAL INJURY:

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS APPLIANCE. Washer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

• CIRCUIT – Individual, properly polarized and grounded 16-amp branch circuit fused with 16-amp time -delay fuse or circuit breaker.
• POWER SUPPLY – 2-wire with ground, 220-240V~, single-phase, 50Hz, alternating current.
• OUTLET RECEPTACLE – Properly grounded receptacle located so the power supply cord is accessible when the washer is in an installed position.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

1. The washer MUST be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current.
2. Since your washer is equipped with a power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper-wired receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician. DO NOT cut off or alter the grounding prong on the power supply cord. In situations where a two- slot receptacle is present, it is the owner’s responsibility to have a licensed electrician replace it with a properly grounded grounding-type receptacle.

Water Supply Requirements
Cold water faucet MUST be installed within 107 cm of your washer’s water inlet. The faucet MUST be 1.9 cm garden hose-type so inlet hose can be connected. Water pressure MUST be between 10 and 120 psi. Your water department can advise you of your water pressure.

Drain Requirements

1. Drain capable of eliminating 64.3 L per minute.

Unpacking the Washer

WARNING!

Recycle or destroy the carton and plastic bags after the washer is unpacked. Make materials inaccessible to children. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers causing suffocation.

1. Cut and remove the top and bottom packaging straps.

2. While it is in the carton, carefully lay the washer on its side. DO NOT lay the washer on its front of back.

3. Turn down the bottom flaps-remove all base packaging, including the cardboard, styrofoam base and styrofoam tub support (inserted in center of base).
   Note: If you are installing a pedestal, proceed to the installation instructions that come with the pedestal.

4. Carefully return the washer to an upright position and remove the carton.

5. Carefully move the washer to within 122 cm of the final location.

6. Remove the following from the back side of the washer:

   • 4 bolts
   • 4 plastic spacers (including rubber grommets)
   • 4 power cord retainers

IMPORTANT: Failure to remove the shipping bolts* can cause the washer to become severely unbalanced.

Save all bolts for future use.
*Any damages from failure to remove the shipping bolts are not covered by the warranty.

Note: If you must transport the washer at a later date, you must reinstall the shipping support hardware to prevent shipping damage. Keep the hardware in the plastic bag provided.

Installing the Washer (For Cold Water Faucets)

1. Run some water from the cold faucet to flush the water lines and remove particles that might clog up the inlet hose.

2. Ensure there is a rubber washer in the hoses. Reinstall the rubber washer into the hose fitting if it has fallen out during shipment. Carefully connect inlet hose to the inside ‘’C’’ outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand; then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
   Do not crossthread or over-tighten these connections.

3. Install the screen washers by inserting them into the free ends of the inlet hoses with protruded side facing the faucet.

4. Connect the inlet hose ends to the COLD water faucets tightly by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Turn the water on and check for leaks.

5. Carefully move the washer to its final location. Gently rock the washer into position ensuring inlet hoses do not become kinked. It is important not to damage the rubber leveling legs when moving your washer to its final location. Damaged legs can increase washer vibration. It may be helpful to spray window cleaner on the floor to help move your washer into its final position.Note:

   • To reduce vibration, ensure that all four rubber leveling legs are firmly touching the floor. Push and pull on the back right and then back left of your washer.
   • Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to lift the washer.
   • If you are installing into a drain pan, you can use a 24-inch long 2×4 to lever the washer into place.

6. With the washer in its final position, place a level on top of the washer (if the washer is installed under a counter, the washer should not be able to rock). Adjust the front leveling legs up or down to ensure the washer is resting solid. Turn the locknuts on each leg up towards the base of the washer and snug with a wrench.
   Note:

   • Keep the leg extension at a minimum to prevent excessive vibration. The farther out the legs are extended, the more the washer will vibrate.
   • If the floor is not level or is damaged, you may have to extend the rear leveling legs.

7. Attach the U-shaped hose guide to the end of the drain hose. Place the hose in a laundry tub or standpipe and secure it with the cable tie provided in the enclosure package.
   Note: Placing the drain hose too far down the drain pipe can cause a siphoning action. No more than 17.78 cm of hose should be in the drain pipe. There must be an air gap around the drain hose. A snug fit can also cause a siphoning action.

8. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
   NOTE: Check to be sure the power is off at the circuit breaker/fuse box before plugging the power cord into an outlet.

9. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.

10. Read the rest of this Owner’s Manual. It contains valuable and helpful information that will save you time and money.

    • Before starting the washer, check to make sure:
    • Main power is turned on.
    • The washer is plugged in.
    • The water faucets are turned on.
    • The unit is level and all four leveling legs are firmly in the floor.
    • The shipping support hardware is removed and saved.
    • The drain hose is properly tied up.

Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling it out until it stops.
After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing of the bleach, fabric softener or detergent.

You may see water in the dispenser drawer at the end of the cycle. This is a result of the flushing/siphoning action and is part of the normal operation of the washer.

Note: Liquid detergent will drain into the washer drum as it is added.

• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. Avoid using too much detergent in your washer as it can lead to over sudsing and detergent residue being left on the clothes.

The Detergent Compartment

• High-efficient detergent is required for this washer.
  Use the detergent manufacturer’s recommended amount.

• Add measured detergent to the front left detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.

• Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent can be used.

• Powder Detergent – Remove the Detergent selection insert and place it in a safe location outside of the washer. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions when measuring the amount of powder to use.

• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. Avoid using too much detergent in your washer as it can lead to oversudsing and detergent residue being left on the clothes.

• Using more detergent than the recommended quantity can cause residue buildup on your washer.

• Liquid Detergent – Locate the concentration of your detergent on the bottle. Place the Detergent selection insert in the corresponding location depending on the concentration.

The Liquid Bleach Compartment

IMPORTANT: Be sure to identify the correct compartment for bleach before using.

If desired, measure out the recommended amount of liquid bleach, not to exceed 1/3 cup (80ml), and pour into the right compartment labeled “LIQUID BLEACH”.

Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the bleach which could result in damaged clothes.

Note: Do not use powdered bleach in the dispenser.

The Fabric Softener Compartment

IMPORTANT: Be sure to identify the correct compartment for fabric softener before using.

If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the compartment labeled “FABRIC SOFTENER”.

• Use only liquid fabric softener in the dispenser.
• Dilute with water to the maximum fill line.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener which could stain clothes.
  Note: Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load.

Loading and Using the Washer

Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.

Sorting Wash Loads
Sort laundry into loads that can be washed together.

• Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.
• Washing single items is not recommended. This may cause an out-of- balance load. Add one or two similar items.
• Pillows and comforters should not be mixed with other items. This may cause an out-of-balance load.

WARNING!

Fire Hazard

• Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable liquids.
• No washer can completely remove oil.

• Remove the drawer by first pulling it out until it stops. Then reach back into right rear corner of the drawer cavity and press down firmly on the lock tab, pulling out the drawer.

Cleaning the Pump Filter
Due to the nature of the front-load washer, it is sometimes possible for small articles to pass to the pump. The washer has a filter to capture lost items so they are not dumped to the drain. To retrieve lost items, clean out the pump filter.

1. Using a coin or flat screwdriver in the notch on the door, open the access door.

2. Place a shallow pan or dish under the pump access door and towels on the floor in front of the washer to protect the floor. It is normal to catch about a cup of water when the filter is removed.

3. Pull down the pour spout.

4. Turn the pump filter counterclockwise and remove the filter.
   Open slowly to allow the water to drain.

5. Clean the debris from the filter.

6. Replace the filter and turn clockwise. Tighten securely.

7. Flip up the pour spout.

8. Close the access door.
