3 Remove the four transport bolts on the back of your washer.

CAUTION

If you do not remove the four bolts, your washer will make loud noise and vibrate excessively or move. This can damage your washer.

4 Cover the holes with the transport hole plugs. Keep the four bolts for future use. You need them if you want to transport your washer to another location.

Choosing a location

WARNING

• Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, because your washer always retains some water in its water valve, pump and hose areas. Frozen water can damage the valve, pump, hoses and other components.
• Never install on a platform or weakly supported structure.

Selecting a correct location for your washer improves performance and minimizes noise and possible washer "walk." Your washer can be installed under a custom counter or in a basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area. See Drainage requirements on page 12. You should also consider a companion appliance (dryer) location requirements.

For best performance, you need:

• A water heater set to deliver 120^ F( 49^ C) water to the washer.

• A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See Electrical requirements on page 11.

• Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of between 0.05MPa~1MPa.
• A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 in. (25 mm) under entire washer. Don't install your washer on soft floor surfaces, such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing.
• A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer with a total weight (water and load) of 200 lbs. (90 kg)

Make sure that the location is:

• Away from direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can raise the water temperature, which may cause safety risks.
  An area where the temperature is above 32^ (0^)
• Away from the heat resources such as coal or gas. Heat sources can raise the water temperature, which may cause safety risks.

WARNING

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

1. Select 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 affect the quality of cleaning. Make sure that you:

• Pre-treat stains.

• Sort carefully by color and soil level.
• Avoid overloading.

2. Turn on your washer

Press the Power button to turn on your washer. Your washer's initial settings are:

Normal cycle
Warm temperature
Medium spin speed

3. 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.

• Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color, and load size.
• Fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes. Load the tub no more than 3/4 fill. For best performance, the maximum load size should be less than 12 lbs. (5.4kg) .

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.
• Don't overfill your washer with too many big, bulky items This could lead to unwanted vibration during the spin cycle. If this happens, remove some items and restart the washing cycle.
  Always use the Bulky cycle for bulky items.
• When washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload your washer to ensure good cleaning results.
• Your washer is not suitable for washing comforters. Your washer may not reach high spin speed and may result in a the wet load after spinning.
• Sometimes your washer can't reach a high spin speed because the load is out of balance. Rearrange the clothes, then try the Spin Only mode again.

4. Add detergent and additives to the compartments

Caution

• Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the tub. Doing so can damage fabrics by weakening of the fibers or stripping the color.
• You can pour less than 1.7 oz. (50 ml) of liquid bleach in the main detergent compartment before your press the Start button. If you want to use more bleach, we recommend that you pour the bleach in the main detergent compartment when water flows into detergent compartment after you start your washer.

Pre-detergent compartment

Detergent compartment

Fabric softener compartment

• If you are using the Pre-Wash option, pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the pre-detergent compartment before starting your washer.
• Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the detergent compartment before starting your washer.
  If you're using color-safe bleach or liquid chlorine bleach, add it with the detergent to the detergent compartment.

NOTE:

• When adding color-safe bleach with detergent, both laundry products must be in the same form (liquid).
  If you are using powder detergent, add it to the bottom of the tub before you add the load.

• Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the softener compartment. The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the correct time during the rinse cycle.

5. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load

Turn the cycle selector to select a washing cycle. For information on wash cycles, see Washer options and settings on page 32.

6. (Optional) Set a delayed start time

You can program a wash cycle, then set a time when you want a wash cycle to begin.

• Ideally, you should set your cycle before setting the delay time because turning the cycle selector after you set the delay time cancels the delay function.
• You can change settings or cancel the delay start time function anytime before you press the Start/Pause button by turning the cycle selector.
• You can't change the delay start time after you press the Start/Pause button. If you pressed the Start/Pause button, you can cancel the delay start time function by pressing the Power button to turn off your washer, then pressing the button again to turn it back on.
• You can't change the Delay Start Time after the program has started.

7. (Optional) Decrease the wash time

Press the Time Save. The light turns on and the wash time decreases.

NOTE:

Time Save works for Normal/Cotton, Perm Press, Heavy Duty, Bulky/Large, and Sport Wear cycles.

8. Start your washer

• Press the Start/Pause button.

NOTE:

• If you haven't set a delayed start time or if the delay time has expired, your washer starts the cycle and the Wash light turns on.
• As your washer moves from stage to stage in the wash cycle, the related light turns on (such as Rinse or Spin).

• If you set a delayed start time, the Delay light turns on and your washer starts counting down the start time.

• If you need to pause the cycle (for example to add or remove items), press and hold the Start/Pause button for 3 seconds. Wait for the drum to stop, then open the door. When you're ready to resume washing, close the door, then press the button again.

Caution

Don't try to force the door open if:

The drum is moving. You will damage your washer.
- The water level is above the edge of the inner tub. Water will spill on the floor.
The water temperature is too hot. You may scald yourself.
- If you press and hold Start/Pause button for three seconds, the door won't open because the door can't match the above conditions. You should wait until the perfect time.

Setting the child lock

Your washer has a child lock function to prevent children from playing with your washer. When you turn on the child lock, the only buttons that work are the Power button and the Delay and Temp. buttons you use to turn off the child lock.

• Press and hold both the Delay and Temp. buttons for three seconds. The child lock light turns on.
• To turn off the child lock, press and hold both the Delay and Temp. buttons for three seconds.

NOTE:

• If your washer is not turned on, the child lock can still remain set. Press the Power button, turn on the child lock function, then press the Power button to turn off your washer. When you want to use your washer, you need to turn off the lock function.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING

• Don't use solvents to clean your washer. They can damage the finish and create toxic gases that can harm you or explode.
• Don't sprinkle or spay water or other liquids directly on your washer.
• Don't use detergents containing PCMX to clean your washer. PCMX can damage the finish.

SERVICE PERSONNEL—Some internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock during servicing. Do not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: electrical valve, drain pump, door lock, dry heater, fan motor.

Caution

Before performing any maintenance, turn off your washer, unplug the power cord, and turn off the water faucets.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the exterior

Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach, or other spills as they occur.

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 and softener compartments

• Open the drawer, then press down the arrow located on softener cover inside the drawer.

• Lift the clip up and pull out the drawer.

• Wash the compartments and grooves with water, then dry with a cloth.
• Restore the softener cover and push the drawer into position.

Cleaning the inlet filters

If water flows too slowly or not at all, you need to clean the inlet filter.

Machine filter

• Turn off the water faucets.
• Unscrew the inlet pipe on the back of your washer from the tap.
  Pull out the filter with long nose pliers.

• Use water to wash the filter.

• Reinstall the filter, then reconnect the inlet pipe.
• Turn on the water faucets and make sure there is no water leakage.

Cleaning the drain filter

Caution

Clean the filters frequently. Blocked filters may:

• Keep your washer from draining water
• Keep your washer from spinning

• Cause loud or unusual noises from object caught in the filters

• Use a flat blade screwdriver to open the filter door located on the bottom right of the front of your washer.

• Rotate the cap 90^ clockwise, then pull the emergency drain hose out and remove the hose cap.

• Drain water into a bowl or bucket.

• Reset the drain hose.
• Rotate the filter counter-clockwise, then pull it out of your washer.

• Remove lint and other objects from the filter.

• Slide the filter back in and rotate is counter-clockwise to lock it in place.

Cleaning the drain filter

The Tub 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.

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.
• Press the Power button.
• Turn the cycle selector to Tub Clean. When you select Tub Clean, the only option you can change is the Delay option.
• Press the Start/Pause button.

Using the emergency door release

If the power fails or other circumstances prevent you from opening the door, you can use the emergency cord to open the door.

WARNING

You can't use the emergency cord when your washer is running. If you must open the door, turn your washer off and wait for the water to cool before you use the emergency cord.

• Open the filter door located on the bottom right of the front of your washer.
  Gently pull the emergency cord down.

NOTE: Don't pull hard on the cord. You might break it. Pull gently.

• Open the your washer's door.
• Restore the cord to its original position, then close the filter door.

Unfreezing your washer

If the ambient temperature drops to freezing (32^ / 0^) , any water in the pipes or water hoses may freeze.

Unplug the power cord.
- Wash the water faucets with warm water to loosen the inlet hose.
- Remove the water hoses and immerse them in warm water.
- Pour warm water into the washing drum and wait for 10 minutes.
- Reconnect the water hoses to the water faucets and make sure that there are no leaks.
- Run your washer on the Drain Only cycle to remove any water you added.

Storing your washer

You can damage your washer if you don't remove water from hoses and internal components before storage.

To prepare your washer for storage:

• Select the Quick Wash cycle and add bleach to your 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's door open to let air circulate inside the tub.
