Key Parts and Components
Accessories
Tools Needed in Installation
Key Dimensions and Specifications
Choose the Proper Location
Flooring
For best performance, you must install your washer on a solidly constructed
floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or
unbalanced load situations.
– Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibration which
can cause your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always retain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water can damage the belts, the pump, hoses, and other components. Never install on a platform or weakly supported structure.
Choose the Proper Location
Electric
Use 120Volt 60Hz 15 Amps fuse or circuit breaker.
Individual branch circuit serving only for your washer is recommended.
Never use an extension cord.
Grounding
Electrical grounding is required for this washer.
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 power cord having a three-prong grounding
plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
An improperly connected equipment-grounding conductor can increase the risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are not sure 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. To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Water
To correctly fill your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of
14 to 70psi (100 to 500 kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 14psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow
the water valve to shot off completely, or may extend the fill time beyond
what your washer controls allow, causing your washer to turn off and alarm
error.
A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your home if a
hose becomes loose.
The water faucet must be within 4 feet / 122cm of the back of your washer to
match the inlet hoses provided with your washer.
To avoid the possibility of water damage:
– Have water faucets easily accessible
– Turn off faucets when the washer is not in use.
– Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose
fittings.
Choose the Proper Location
Drain facility
The recommended height of the standpipe is 35in. or 90cm.
The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe.
The standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain
hose.
Install Your Washer
Before installing, make sure there are rubber gaskets inside the fittings at
both ends of the water supply hoses.
If there are no water inlet hoses packed with the washer or if the hoses are
damaged, Call Comfee Service Center
at1-866-646-4332. Installing the water
supply hoses without rubber gaskets can cause water leakage.
When you initially install the washer, be sure to use new hoses. Failing to do
so may result in a water leakage or overflow and may damage your property.
If a hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, ~ high pressure hose.
Step 1: Move your washer to selected position
Tilt the unit back onto its rear rollers and push it forward as shown in the
figure below. Move the unit to a location as described in the previous Choose
the Proper Location section.
Make sure the location has a hard, level surface without carpeting.
There should be no direct sunlight.
Do not expose the unit to freezing temperatures (under 32° F or 0° C).
Install Your Washer
Step 2: Install the Bottom Cover
Slide the bottom cover into the slots on bottom surface of the unit as in the
following figure, and fix it with two screws attached with the unit.
Step 3: Connect the water hose
-
The Quick Connection Adaptor is primarily for quick connection to a single faucet, such as a typical kitchen sink, in cases where the washer is stored in a different place than where it is used. Skip this step if you are connecting the washer to a sink with separate hot and cold faucets.
The adaptor consists of two parts that quickly connect or disconnect. One part, the faucet fitting, is for connection to the faucet and the other part, the hose fitting, connects to the cold water hose of the washer.
– Pull back on the white ring to free the faucet fitting from the adaptor for installation into the faucet.
– Screw the end of the cold water hose onto the base of the hose fitting.
– If the faucet has internal screw threads, unscrew the aerator if present from the tip of the faucet. Then screw the faucet fitting into the faucet. Make sure that the black rubber gasket is on the top of the adaptor before screwing it in.
– If the faucet has external screw threads, remove the gasket from the top of the faucet fitting, and screw the fitting over the external threads.
– Pull back on the white ring to connect the two parts of the adaptor back together.
NOTE:
When connected to a single faucet, be sure to only run cold water washers.
-
Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the COLD faucets. For convenience, use the Quick Connection Adaptor for connection to the cold water faucet. See instructions for Quick Connection Adaptor use in Step 1 above.
-
Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with a wrench.
When you fasten the fittings, do not fasten them too tightly or apply tape or sealant to the faucets or water supply intakes. This can damage the fittings. After you have connected the water supply hoses to the faucets, ensure that they are connected securely by pulling the water supply hoses downwards. -
Place the unconnected ends of the hoses into a bucket and open the faucets connected to the two water supply hoses for 10 or 15 seconds to remove any foreign substances from the hoses. Close the faucets before continuing
-
Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply intake connections at the top of the washer. The water hose connected to the COLD faucet must be connected to the cold water supply intake.
-
Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with a wrench.
Confirm that the water supply hoses are not twisted or bent. If the hoses are twisted or bent, the hoses can leak and cause electric shock due to the water leakage .To ensure the correct water usage, connect the COLD water faucets. -
Turn on the COLD water supplies and check all the water supply intake connections and the faucets for water leaks.
Install Your Washer
Step 4: Connect the drain hose
Position the other end of the drain hose. It can be positioned in three ways.
A. Over the edge of a wash basin.
Secure the guide to the side of the basin wall with a hook or to the tap with
a piece of string to prevent the drain hose from moving.
B. In a standpipe
The standpipe must be no shorter than 32in. (81cm) and no longer than 39 in.
(100cm).
C. In a laundry tub.

Troubleshooting
Before calling for service
Your washing machine is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to
detect and diagnose problems at an early stage. If your washer does not
function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you
call for service:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| Thumping sound | Heavy wash loads may produce a thumping sound. | |
| Washer load may be out of balance. | This is normal. If sound continues, washer |
is probably out of balance. Stop and redistribute wash load. Pause the cycle
and redistribute the load.
Vibrating noise| Packaging materials were not removed.
Wash load may be unevenly distributed in the tub. Not all leveling feet are
resting firmly and evenly on the floor.
Floor not rigid enough.| See the UNPACKING AND REMOVING SHIPPING MATERIAL
section in the installation instructions.
Pause the cycle and redistribute the load. See Leveling the Washer in the
Installation Instructions.
Make sure that the floor is solid and
does not flex. See Flooring in the Installation Requirements.
Excessive sudsing| Too much detergent or incorrect detergent.| HE detergents
are formulated specifically for High-Efficiency washers and contain suds
reducing agents. Only use detergent with the High-Efficiency (HE) logo.
Water leaking| Inlet hose connection is loose at faucet or washer. House drain
pipes are clogged.
Drain hose has come out of drain or is not inserted far enough.
A large item such as a pillow or blanket is above the top of the tub.| Check
hoses for leaks, cracks and splits. Check and tighten hose connections. The
washer pumps out water very rapidly. Check for water backing up out of the
drain pipe during drain. If water is seen coming out of the drain, check for
proper drain hose installation and check for restrictions in the drain.
Contact a plumber to repair drain pipe.
Tie drain hose to inlet hose or standpipe to prevent it from coming out during
drain. For smaller drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the pipe as far as
the drain hose flange. For larger drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the
pipe 1-2 in. past the flange .
Stop the washer and check the load. Make sure the load does not crest above
the top edge of the tub.
Rattling and clanking noise| Foreign objects, such as keys, coins, or safety
pins, may be in tub or pump.| Stop washer, check tub and drain filter for
foreign objects.
If noise continues after washer is restarted, call for service.
Wrinkling| Washer not unloaded promptly.
Washer overloaded.
Hot and cold water inlet hoses are reversed.| Always remove items from the
washer as soon as the cycle is complete.

connections.
Staining| Washer was not unloaded promptly.
Clothes were not properly sorted.| Always remove items from the washer as soon
as possible after the cycle is complete. Always wash dark colors separately
from light colors and whites to prevent discoloration. Never wash heavily
soiled items washed with lightly soiled items.
Wash cycle time is longer than usual| The washer automatically adjusts the
wash time for the amount of laundry, water pressure and other operating
conditions.| This is normal. The washer adjusts cycle time automatically to
provide optimal results for the selected cycle. The time remaining shown in
the display is only an estimate. Actual time may vary.
Musty or mildew odor In washer| Incorrect or too much detergent has been used
.Inside of tub was not cleaned properly.| Use only High-Efficiency (HE)
detergent in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Run an Express
cycle with bleach once a month to clean tub and remove any mold from inside

** The number of dots represent appropriate wash water temperatures for
various items. The temperature range for Hotis 105°-125°F41°-52°C, for Warm
85°-105°F29°41°C and for Cold 60°-85°F/16°-29°C.(Wash water temperature must
be a minimum of 60°F/16°C for detergent activation and effective cleaning.)The
clothes washer can not ensure these temperatures because the actual
temperature of the water entering your washer depends on water heater settings
and regional water supply temperatures.
For example, cold water entering the home in the northern states during winter
may be 40°F/4°C which is too cold for effective cleaning. In this situation,
you will need to adjust the water temperature by selecting a warm setting,
adding some hot water to the MAX FILL line, or using your Washer’s heating
option, if available.
