READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

⚠ WARNING For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

⚠ WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following.

• Before use, the washer must be properly installed as described in this manual.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.
• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to prevent children from climbing inside.

• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing other than as described in this manual. We strongly recommend that any service be performed by a qualified individual.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.
• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your washer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
• Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only as recommended by the manufacturer.
• This washer is not designed for maritime use or for mobile installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.
• Turn off the water taps and unplug the washer if the machine is to be left for an extended period of time, such as during vacations.
• Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging from children.
• Always check the inside of the washer for foreign objects before loading laundry. Keep the door closed when not in use.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

If your floor has too much flex in it, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. A floor that is adequate for a top-loading washer may not be rigid enough for a front-loading washer, due to the difference in the spin speed and direction. If the floor is not solid, your washer may vibrate and you may hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.

UNPACKING AND REMOVING SHIPPING BOLTS

When removing the washer from the carton base, be sure to remove the foam tub support in the middle of the carton base.

If you must lay the washer down to remove the base packaging materials, always lay it carefully on its side. Do NOT lay the washer on its front or back.

IMPORTANT: To prevent internal damage during transport, the washer is equipped with 4 shipping bolts and plastic retainers. These bolts and retainers MUST be removed before operating the washer.

- Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may cause severe vibration and noise, which can lead to permanent damage to the washer. The cord is secured to the back of the washer with a shipping bolt to help prevent operation with shipping bolts in place.

Darks Light	Sturdy

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 your washer and your clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.
• Large items should not be more than half of the total washload.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of the washer should close easily.
• 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.
• Do not wash or spin waterproof clothes.
• When unloading the washer, check under the door seal for small items.

SELECTING DETERGENT

IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for front-load washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when purchasing detergent.

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 a regular detergent may cause oversudising and unsatisfactory performance.

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.

Designed specially to use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent

ABOUT THE DISPENSER

The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments which hold:

• Liquid chlorine bleach.
• Liquid fabric softener.
• Liquid or powdered detergent for prewash.
• Liquid or powdered detergent and color-safe bleach for main wash.

All laundry products can be added at once in their respective dispenser compartments. They will be dispensed at the appropriate time for the most effective cleaning.

After adding the laundry products to the dispenser, close the dispenser drawer.

To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser:

1 pen the dispenser drawer.
2oad the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.
3 Slowly close the dispenser drawer to avoid early dispensing of the laundry products.

NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.

NOTE: The cycle time displayed may appear much longer than that of a top-loading washer. The displayed time is for the complete cycle, rather than just the agitation portion of the cycle, as is typically shown on a top-loading washer.

NOTE: If the temperature in the washer is too high, the door cannot be unlocked until the washer has cooled. If the water level is too high, select the DRAIN & SPIN cycle to drain excess water. Do not try to force the door open.

Washing time can be reduced significantly for small or lightly soiled loads by selecting the Speed Wash cycle and setting the Soil Level button to Light.

6 When the load is finished, the beeper (if set) will sound and the door will unlock.

Remove damp clothes from the washer immediately. Check under the door seal for small items.

CYCLE SETTING BUTTONS

Each cycle has preset settings that are selected automatically. You may also customize the settings using the cycle setting buttons. Press the button for that setting until the indicator light for the desired value is lit.

The washer automatically adjusts the water level for the type and size of wash load for best results and maximum efficiency. It may seem there is no water inside the drum in some cycles, but this is normal.

NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/ rinse temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with every cycle. See the Cycle Guide for details.

WASH/RINSE

Selects the wash and rinse temperature

combination for the selected cycle. Press the WASH/RINSE button until the indicator light for the desired setting is lit.

• Your washer features a heating element to boost the hot water temperature for Extra Hot settings. This provides improved wash performance at normal water heater settings.
• Select the water temperature suitable for the type of load you are washing. Follow the fabric care label for best results.
• Warm rinses are regulated at approximately 86°F (30°C).
• Warm rinses leave the loads drier than cold rinses. Warm rinses can increase wrinkling.
• In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load more comfortable to handle.
• Cold rinses use less energy, and the rinse temperature depends on the cold water at the faucet.

SPIN SPEED

The washer drum spins at up to 1,000 RPM. This

extracts more water from clothes, reducing drying time and saving energy.

Press the SPIN SPEED button until

the indicator light for the desired setting is lit. Some fabrics, such as delicates, require a slower spin speed.

The Drain & Spin cycle:

The Spin Speed button also activates the Drain & Spin cycle to drain the tub and spin clothes; for example, if you want to remove clothes before the cycle has ended.

To activate the DRAIN & SPIN cycle:

1 Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the washer.
2 Press the SPIN SPEED button.
3 Select the desired spin speed. NOTE: If NO SPIN is selected, the washer will drain only.
4 Press the START/PAUSE button.

SOIL LEVEL

Adjusts the selected cycle to allow more time for

heavily soiled clothes or less time for lightly soiled clothes. Press the SOIL LEVEL button until the indicator light for the desired setting is lit.

BEEPER

Press repeatedly to adjust the volume of

the beeper. You may turn the end-of-cycle beeper on or off with the BEEPER button.

QUICK CYCLE

The Quick Cycle offers a quick cycle time. Suggested uses include freshening newly purchased clothes, or clothing that has been packed away.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

The option buttons also activate special functions, including CHILD LOCK, SPINSENSE™ and TUB CLEAN. Press and hold the option button marked with the special function for 3 seconds to activate.

CHILD LOCK

Use this option to prevent unwanted use of the washer or to keep cycle settings from being changed while the washer is operating. Press and hold the DELAY WASH button for 3 seconds to activate

or deactivate CHILD LOCK.

Once CHILD LOCK is selected, the display will alternate between CL and the

time remaining, and all controls are disabled. The washer can be locked during a cycle.

To cancel SPINSENSE™:

Press and hold the RINSE+SPIN button for 3 seconds to turn off the SPINSENSE ^TM function.

TUB CLEAN

A buildup of detergent residue can occur in the wash tub over time and can lead to a mildewy or musty smell. The TUB CLEAN cycle is specially designed to remove this buildup. Press and hold the EXTRA RINSE button for 3 seconds to activate this cycle. Add liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. After the cycle has ended, open the door and allow the drum interior to dry completely.

NOTE: Do NOT use this cycle with clothes, and do NOT add detergent or fabric softener.

HAND WASH/WOOL

• Only woolen items that are designated as "Machine-Washable" should be washed in this washing machine
• Wash only small loads for optimum fabric care (less than 8 lbs.)
• Only neutral (wool safe) detergents should be used (Only a small quantity of detergent is needed due to the small load size and low volume of water in the cycle.)
• The HANDWASH/WOOL cycle uses a gentle tumble action and low speed spin for ultimate fabric care

WOOLMARK

The wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by Woolmark for the washing of machine washable Woolmark products provided that the products are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine, M0708

REGULAR CLEANING

WARNING:

• Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock or death.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean washer. They will damage the finish.

Cleaning the Exterior

Proper care of your washer can extend its life. The outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent. Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft, damp cloth.

IMPORTANT: Do not use methylated spirits, solvents, or similar products.

Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they can damage the surface.

Care and Cleaning of the Interior

Use a towel or soft cloth to wipe around the washer door opening, door seal, and door glass. These areas should be kept clean to ensure a watertight seal. Be sure to wipe under the inside rubber seal to remove any moisture or soil.

Always remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle is completed. Leaving damp items in the washer can cause wrinkling, color transfer, and odor.

Run the TUB CLEAN cycle regularly to remove detergent buildup and other residue.

Removing the Stain in Door Seal

NOTE: Wear rubber gloves and eye protection while performing the following procedure:

① Dilute 3/4 cup (177 ml) liquid chlorine bleach with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm/hot water.
2 Use this solution to wipe down all surfaces of the gasket to remove the deposits that are causing any odor. (Be sure to fold back the lip of the gasket to get under the edge where residue can build up.)
3 Wipe the gasket with a dry cloth.

Leave the door open to allow the gasket to dry completely. Do not use undiluted bleach as this will damage the gasket. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use of bleach. If the gasket cannot be cleaned properly, it should be replaced.

Storing the Washer

If the washer will not be used for an extended period of time and is in an area that could be exposed to freezing temperatures:

① Turn off water supply tap.
2 Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain water from hoses.
3 Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
4 Add 1 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV) antifreeze to the empty wash drum. Close door.
5 Select the spin cycle and let washer spin for 1 minute to drain out all the water.

NOTE: Not all of the RV antifreeze will be expelled.

6 Unplug the power cord, dry the drum interior with a soft cloth, and close the door.
7 Remove the inserts from the dispenser. Drain any water in compartments and dry the compartments.
8 Store the washer in an upright position.
9 To remove the antifreeze from the washer after storage, run washer through a complete cycle using detergent. Do not add laundry!

Removing Lime Buildup

If you live in an area with hard water, lime scale can form on internal components of the washer. Use of a water softener is recommended in areas with hard water. If a descaler is used, make sure that it is suitable for use in a washer, and run the TUB CLEAN cycle before washing clothing.

Lime scale and other spots may be removed from the stainless steel drum using a stainless steel cleaner. Do NOT use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they can damage the surface.

CLEANING THE WASHER

Cleaning the Dispenser

The dispenser should be cleaned periodically to remove buildup from detergent and other laundry products.
