be connected through the hose clip to the standpipe, and the standpipe must
fully cover the drain hose.
Flooring For best performance, the washer must be installed on a solid floor.
Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced
loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces do not provide good resistance to
vibrations and may cause the washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
CAUTION Do NOT install the washer on a platform or a poorly supported
structure.
Water temperature Do not install the washer in areas where water may freeze as
the washer always retains some water in its water valves, pumps, and/or hoses.

Laundry guidelines
STEP 1 Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria: · Care label: sort the laundry
into cottons, mixed fibers, synthetics, silks, wools, and
rayon. · Color: Separate whites from colors. · Size: Mixing different sized
items together in the tub improves washing performance. · Sensitivity: Wash
delicate items separately. For pure new woolen items, curtains, and
silk items, check the labels on the items. NOTE Make sure to check the care
label on all clothing, and sort clothing accordingly before starting the wash.
STEP 2 Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items · Metal objects such as coins,
pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry
items as well as the tub. Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside
out · If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the tub may be
damaged. Zippers
should be closed and fixed with a string. · Clothing with long strings may
become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie
the strings before starting the wash.
30 English
Untitled-8 30
2024-05-13 5:19:34
STEP 3 Use a delicates bag WAA5500 WAA5505, WAA7305
· Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a delicates bag. Metal parts
of the brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.
· Cashmilon, large volume items, and lightweight clothes (lace-decorated
clothes, lingerie, nylon stockings, and synthetic fabrics) may float during
washing and not wash properly. Use the delicates bag or wash them separately.
· Do not wash the delicates bag by itself without other laundry. This can
cause abnormal vibrations that could cause the washer to move and result in
injury.
CAUTION
Make sure to soak inflatable items (such as blankets, and cotton-filled or
microfiber quilts) in water before you run a cycle. · Inflatable items may
damage the
laundry or the washer during the washing or spinning process. · Regardless of
the size, it is safer to wash blankets or quilts one item at a time. This will
also get them cleaner. Two different-sized blankets in the same load can cause
the load to become unbalanced, compromising the spinning process.
Untitled-8 31
English 31
2024-05-13 5:19:34
Before you start
To put a blanket in your washer Fold the blanket as shown, and then put it
below the plastic ring (A) at the top of the tub.
A
NOTE Do not wash different types of bedding (blankets, sheets,
comforters/duvets) together. They can get unbalanced in the tub and cause poor
spinning results. · Separate the beddings by their type before washing.
– If an item is bulky and absorbs large amounts of water during washing, wash
that item individually.
– Do not wash light items with items that hardly absorb water together. – Do
not wash duvets or comforters with their covers or bed sheets.
32 English
Untitled-8 32
2024-05-13 5:19:35
STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)
· To remove stains and dirt on collars, sleeves, hems, and pockets, apply
detergent lightly, let sit for a minute, and then brush off carefully.
· Use powder or liquid detergents. Do not use soap. Soap can remain on the tub
after washing.
· To prewash white socks, sleeves, and collars apply a little detergent, and
then brush carefully.
CAUTION Make sure the laundry is inserted completely. · Any exposed part of
the laundry can cause damage to the washer or the laundry itself
or cause a water leak. · Make sure the laundry does not extend past the
plastic ring at the top of the tub.
STEP 5 Determine the load capacity
Make sure the laundry does not extend past the plastic ring at the top of the
tub. If it does, it can cause the washing machine to wash improperly or cause
damage to the washer or the laundry itself or cause a water leak.
NOTE When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened
or the spin efficiency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the
recommended load capacity is 7.5 lb (3.5 kg) or less.
CAUTION If the laundry is unbalanced and the “UB” information code is
displayed, redistribute the load. Unbalanced laundry can reduce spinning
performance.
Untitled-8 33
English 33
2024-05-13 5:19:35
Before you start
STEP 6 Add the correct detergent type
The type of detergent you use – general purpose, specifically for woolens,
etc. – depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items,
wool), color, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Regardless of the
specific type of detergent you use, always use “low suds” HE laundry detergent
which is designed for automatic washers.
NOTE · Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight
of the
laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local
area. If you are not sure about the water hardness, contact your local water
authority. · Do not use detergent that tends to harden or solidify. This
detergent may remain in the washer after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain
outlet.
Use HE detergent only
· For the best cleaning results, use a high efficiency detergent such as Tide
HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE. High efficiency detergents contain suds
suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the
load tumbles more efficiently and cleaning is maximized. (Brand names are
trademarks of their respective manufacturers.)
WARNING For best results, use HE detergents only. Do not use non-HE detergent,
organic detergent, natural detergent or HE detergents with natural ingredients
(such as vinegar, baking soda).

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
