To fill your washer in the correct amount of time, the water pressure needs to be between 0.05 MPa~1 MPa. The recommended height for the drain standpipe is 48 in. (122 cm). 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. The water valve may fail or may not shut off completely. The time it takes to fill your washer may be longer than the time your washer controls allow. Your washer will turn off and report an error. A time-limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your home if a hose becomes loose. Water inlet hoses must be purchased separately. You can buy inlet hoses in various lengths up to 8 ft. (240 cm). Make sure that the water faucets are easily accessible. Turn off the faucets when you are not using your washer. Periodically check to make sure that water is not leaking from the water hose fittings.

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

If this is the first time you are washing an item, make sure that it is color-fast. Use a white rag or towel with a little detergent to wash a hidden part of the item. If the rag or towel is stained, the item is not color-fast. If an item has stains, use a spot remover or gently apply a small amount of detergent to the stains, then gently scrub the stains with a brush. Check the manufacturer's label for special washing instructions. Make sure that you remove all items from pockets. Hard items, like coins, can damage your washer. Never wash clothes stained with chemicals such as gasoline, petroleum, benzene, paint thinner and alcohol. Consider using a pillow case you can close or a washing bag to protect items like bras, lacy items, and delicate items. Wash whites and colors separately. Turn items that can pill (like sweaters and sweatshirts) inside out.

Washing a load of laundry NOTE:

Never leave wet items to be washed in your washer for long periods of time. Items may mold and cause stains. Make sure that you check the manufacturer's label for water temperature instructions. Don’t wash items, like ties or items with decorations, that may stretch or distort. Don’t wash waterproof items, like rain coats, ski suits, shower curtains, and mattress pads. These items don’t absorb water and may cause excessive vibration.

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".

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. Caution Before performing any maintenance, turn off your washer, unplug the power cord, and turn off the water faucets. Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach, or other spills as they occur.
