INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING THE WATER LINES

IMPORTANT: · Use new hoses when installing the washer. Do NOT reuse
old hoses. · Use ONLY the inlet hoses provided or sold by Kenmore.
Aftermarket hoses are not guaranteed to fit or function correctly. Other hoses may not tighten correctly and could cause leaks. Subsequent damage to product or property will not be covered under the terms of the product warranty. · Do not use flood-preventing hoses with auto shutoff devices. The devices can be tripped during fill and prevent the machine from filling properly.

3. Flush out the inlet hoses. After connecting the inlet hoses to the water faucets, turn on the water faucets to flush out foreign substances (dirt, sand or sawdust) in the water lines. Let water drain into a bucket, and check the water temperature to make sure you’ve connected the hoses to the correct faucets.

1. Check the fittings and seals. Inspect the threaded fitting on each hose and make sure there is a rubber seal in place in both ends of each hose to prevent leaking.

4. Attach the water lines to the back of the washer.

Attach the hot water line to one of the provided inlet Y-connectors. Attach the short water line from the Y-connector to the full-size washer inlet. Then attach the long water line from the Y-connector to the pedestal washer inlet. Repeat with the cold water connections. Tighten the fittings securely. Turn on both faucets all the way and check for leaks at both ends of the hoses.

Cold water inlet Hot water inlet

WARNING: Do not overtighten the hoses or crossthread the hose fittings. Overtightening or cross-threading can damage the valves, resulting in leaking and property damage.
NOTE: · Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks, and wear,
and replace the hoses every five years. Do not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and make sure that they are not pinched, crushed or kinked by other objects. · Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi and 120 psi (138­827 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more than 120 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed. · To provide optimum washing performance, set the water heater temperature at 120°F (48°C). · Never install or store the washer in a location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the water lines and internal mechanisms of the washer can result. If the washer was exposed to freezing temperatures prior to installation, allow it to stand at room temperature for several hours before use and check for leaks prior to operation.

SORTING WASH LOADS
CAUTION Do not load items higher than the top edge of the tub.
Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage or damage to fabrics. Use the Bedding cycle in the full-size washer for buoyant or nonabsorbent items such as pillows or comforters. Refer to owner’s manual included with washing machine. Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage.

HOW TO USE
Fabric Care Labels Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label. Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option selections to care for your clothing according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Fabric Care Labels

Grouping Similar Items For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, sort the clothing into loads that are made up of similar items.
Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash performance, color transfer, discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Sort fabrics into groups as described below.

Colors Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in a separate load from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.
Soil Level Wash heavily soiled clothing in the full-sized washer. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing. The pedestal washer is optimized for use with lightly soiled and delicate items.
Fabric Type Do not mix delicate items with heavier or sturdier fabrics. Washing heavier fabrics in a delicate load can result in poor wash performance for the heavier fabrics and possible damage to the delicate items.
Lint Type Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics results in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector–knit sweater; lint producer–terry cloth towels.)

Loading the Washer · Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty.
Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both the washer and the clothes. · Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes. · Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results. · To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash single items. Add one or two similar items to the load. Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, comforter, or bedspread, should be washed individually in the full-size washer. · The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open. · Don’t overload the tub. Clothes should fit loosely in the tub under the maximum fill line. Loading clothes over the fill line may result in damage to clothing and the washer.
CAUTION Close the lid until it clicks before sliding the drawer in to
begin the cycle. Press to open the lid. Do not force the lid of the washing
machine open. Doing so may damage the machine.

HOW TO USE

DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE

A WORD ABOUT DETERGENTS High-Efficiency (HE) detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of your washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and machine damage.
Max load (2 tsp., 10 g)
Normal (1 tsp., 5 g)
This machine requires very little detergent. For proper wash performance, always use the dispenser and measuring device provided with the machine. The dispenser holds a maximum of 2 teaspoons (10g/10cc) of HE detergent. Most normal loads require only 1 teaspoon (5g/5cc) of detergent, or filling the dispenser to the halfway line. Do not use a full detergent pod in the pedestal washer. Using too much detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance. Reduce detergent amount or add an extra rinse if detergent residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra rinse, press the Extra Rinse button.
DESIGNED TO USE ONLY HIGH-EFFICIENCY (HE) DETERGENT

NOTE: · Extra care must be exercised when using 2X and 3X
concentrated detergents because even a little bit extra can contribute to the problems mentioned above. · Detergents designated as HE compatible may not provide optimal results.
USING THE DETERGENT 1 Slide the drawer open, open the lid, and add the
garments into the tub.
2 Measure the detergent with the detergent dispenser and pour it into the tub.
3 Close the lid, slide the drawer closed, and press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
NOTE: Liquid chlorine bleach or powdered bleach cannot be used in the pedestal washer. To use bleach, use the full-size washer and follow instructions in the owner’s manual for that machine.
IMPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately. These products can damage the finish and controls.
USING BLEACH Do not use liquid chlorine bleach or powdered bleach in the pedestal washer. To bleach items, use the full-size washer and follow the instructions in the owner’s manual included with that machine.

IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for High- Efficiency washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when purchasing detergent.
IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Pay careful attention to the amount of detergent used to avoid oversudsing, poor rinsing and detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the machine. The maximum measure on the dispenser provided should only be used for very large loads. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in the washer and in your clothes.
Always measure the detergent amount. While HE detergents are designed for this type of washing machine, be careful when measuring the detergent. For most normal loads, no more than 1 teaspoon or half the provided dispenser/measuring device of HE detergent should be used.

USING FABRIC SOFTENER The pedestal washer chimes repeatedly before the final rinse so liquid fabric softener can be added to the load, if desired. Use 1/4 the amount of softener recommended by the manufacturer for a normal load. When the machine chimes, press Start/Pause to pause the cycle.
1 Slide the drawer open, open the lid, and add the liquid fabric softener to the detergent dispenser. The softener can also be diluted with water and added directly into the tub. Do not pour undiluted softener directly onto clothing because it may stain fabrics.
2 Close the lid, slide the drawer closed, and press Start/Pause to restart the cycle.
3 To disable or enable the fabric softener alert, press and hold the Warm Water and Extra Rinse buttons at the same time for three seconds.
If you miss the softener add point:
1 Press the Power button to interrupt the cycle.
2 Select the Rinse & Spin cycle and press Start/Pause to start the cycle.

3 Add the fabric softener at the chimes following instructions above.

House drain pipes are clogged.

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.

Drain hose has come out of drain connector or is not inserted far enough.

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 inches past the flange.

Load is too large for the tub.

Reduce the load or use the full-size washing machine. Use the BULKY/ BEDDING cycle on the front-loading washer for large or bulky items.

Stop the washer and check the load. Make sure the load fits loosely in the tub and the lid closes easily.

Heavy articles are mixed with lighter items.
The load is out of balance.
Control error.

Solutions The automatic attempt to rebalance the load was not successful. The cycle has been paused to allow the load to be manually adjusted.
Small loads may need additional items to be added to allow the washer to balance the loads. The load may have heavy items loaded with lighter items. Always try to wash articles of somewhat similar weight to allow the washer to evenly distribute the weight of the load for spinning. Manually redistribute the load if articles have become tangled preventing the automatic distribution from working properly. Unplug the power cord and contact your nearest service center.
