Tools you will need

Connecting the water hoses

NOTE: The water supply hoses are not supplied with your washer and must be purchased separately.

Caution

Use new water supply hoses. Using old hoses can result in leakage or overflow that can damage your property.
Do not connect multiple water supply hoses together to increase the length of the hose. Hoses connected this way can leak and cause electrical shock. If a hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, high-pressure hose.
1. Make sure that there are rubber washers inside the fittings at both ends of each new water hose. Remove the rubber washers in faucet side and replace with filters. Installing the water supply hoses without rubber washers can cause water leakage.
2. Tighten the hose and faucet fittings by hand until they are snug,then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with pliers or a wrench. Pull the water supply hoses downwards to make sure that they are connected securely.
  Caution
  Do not overtighten the fittings or apply tape or sealant to the faucets or water supply intake. This can damage the fittings.
3. Place the unconnected ends of the hoses into a bucket and turn on the faucets connected to the water supply hoses for 10 or 15 seconds to remove any foreign substances. Turn off the faucets.
4. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply intake connections at the top of the washer. Make sure that the rubber washers are in place. The water supply hose connected to the hot faucet must be connected to the hot water supply intake and the water hose connected to the cold faucet must be connected to the cold water supply intake.
  NOTE: If you do not want to use the hot water supply hose, insert a water intake cap into the hot water supply intake hole. In this case you must select the Tap Cold option for the water temperature.
  NOTE: No intake cap is provided with your washer. It must be purchased separately.
5. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with a pliers.
  Caution
  - Do not overtighten the fittings or apply tape or sealant to the faucets or water supply intakes. This can damage the fittings.
  - Make sure that the water supply hoses are not twisted or bent. A bent or twisted hose can leak and cause an electric shock due to the water leakage. To ensure the correct water usage, connect both hot and cold water faucets. If either or both are not connected, an error code could occur.
6. Turn on the hot and cold water supplies and check all the water supply intake connections and the faucets for water leaks.

Washing a load of laundry

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

Selecting a detergent
Your washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.

For the best cleaning results, use an HE detergent. We recommend that you do not use a regular detergent. HE detergents contain suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the load tumbles more efficiency and cleaning is maximized.
Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the quality of cleaning. Make sure that you:
- Pre-treat stains.
- Sort carefully by color and soil level.
- Avoid overloading.

Turn on you washer
- Your washer will run with cycle selections you choose.
- The lights will display different combinations according to the different cycles you choose.
Load your washer
Caution
Before loading your laundry, make sure that you remove coins, keys,and other hard objects and close zippers. These items may damage clothes and the washer.
- Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color, and load size.
  The wash drum may be fully loaded with loosely added items.

NOTE:

Overloading may reduce washing efficiency, cause excess wear, and possibly cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.
Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery and other lingerie on the Delicates cycle with similar lightweight items.

Loading Examples

NOTE:

Overloading may reduce washing efficiency, cause excess wear, and possibly cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.
Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery and other lingerie on the Delicates cycle with similar lightweight items.
When washing big, bulky items (such as rugs or pillows) or a few smaller items (such as stuffed toys or one or two sweaters) that do not fill the tub completely, add a few towels to improve spin performance.
Always use the Bulky cycle for bulky items.
When washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload your washer to ensure good cleaning results.

Cleaning the interior

Clean the interior of your washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew, or bacterial residue that may remain in your washer as a result of washing clothes.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant conditions, including odors or permanent stains in your washer or on your laundry.
To remove hard water deposits, use a cleaner labeled “Washer safe”.

Cleaning the control panel

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads.
Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel. The control panel finish may be damaged by some laundry pre-treatment soil and stain remover products. Apply such products away from your washer and wipe up any spills or over-spray immediately.

Cleaning the detergent, bleach, or softener compartment

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads.
Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel. The control panel finish may be damaged by some laundry pre-treatment soil and stain remover products. Apply such products away from your washer and wipe up any spills or over-spray immediately.

Cleaning the tub
The Self Clean cycle is a self-cleaning cycle that removes the causes of odors that may occur inside your washer without using a cleaning agent. We suggest cleaning the tub about once a month.

WARNING
The electrical valve, retractor, motor and drain pump of this appliance are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock during serving. Do not contact these electronic devices while the appliance is engaergized.

Caution
Never use the tub clean cycle when laundry is in your washer. This may damage the laundry or your washer.

With the tub empty, add one cup of chlorine bleach to the bleach dispenser.
Turn the control knob to power on.
Turn the cycle selector to TUB. With the tub empty, add one cup of chlorine bleach to the bleach dispenser.
Press the Start Pause button.

Storing your washer
You can damage your washer if you do not remove water from hoses and internal components before storage.

To prepare your washer for storage:

Select the Quick Wash cycle and add bleach to the washer. Run your washer through the cycle without a load
Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.
Unplug your washer from the electrical outlet and leave your washer lid open to let air circulate inside the tub.

Caution
If your washer has been stored in below-freezing temperatures, allow time for any leftover water in your washer to dry out before use.
