CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates excess sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and, time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount for the best performance. They should hold soil in suspe is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents as High Efficiency are identical in formulation and their a reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade detergents may generate a high level of suds. If you use

WASHER MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Cleaning the Washer Location

Keep washer area clear and free from items that would blow airflow. This includes clearing piles of laundry in front of the washer.

Water Inlet Hoses

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risl failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses:

■ Mark the date of replacement on the label with a permal marker.
- Check that the old washers are not stuck on the washer valves.
■ Use new washers in the new inlet hoses to ensure a p seal.

Washer Care

Loosen bolts with a 5/8" (16 mm) wrench. Slide each bolt and spacer to center of hole. Pull bolts and plastic spacers from back of washer. Discard bolts and spacers.

IMPORTANT: Do not plug washer in until installation has been completed.

Connect Drain Hose

4. Attach drain hose to drain port

A - Ribs

If clamp is not already in place on elbow end of drain squeeze clamp with pliers and slide it over end of hos centering it between the ribs, as shown. Squeeze clamp pliers and slide elbow end of drain hose onto drain po secure with clamp.

For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, go to step 6.

For a floor drain, remove the preinstalled drain hose for shown in step 5. You may need additional parts with s directions. See "Alternate Parts."

It is the responsibility of the installer to install and secu proper drain hose into the provided plumbing/drain in a manner will avoid the drain hose coming out of or leaking from location. It

5. Remove drain hose form (floor drain installations only)

For floor drain installations, you will need to remove the hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may add additional parts with separate directions; refer to the Quick Start Guide.

6. Place drain hose in standpipe

Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of water for a few seconds through hoses into a laur tub, drainpipe, or bucket to avoid clogs. Water should run laundry tub.

IMPORTANT: 4.5" (114 mm) of drain hose should be inside standpipe; do not force excess hose into standpipe or lay on 10. Connect inlet hoses to washer

Connect Inlet Hoses

IMPORTANT: To avoid leaks, check that your water inlet hos have flat washers at both ends. Washer must be connected water faucets with new inlet hoses with flat washers (not provided). Do not use old hoses. Do not use hoses without washers.

7. Insert new flat washers

IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.

Attach the hose labeled hot to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on washer. Use adjustable pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with the hose labeled cold for the cold water faucet. Both hoses must be connected for washer to work slowly properly. amount

HELPFUL TIP: Make note of which hose is connected to hot water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly. In most standard configurations, hoses will cross over each other when attached correctly.

IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses every 5 years. Record hose installation or replaced dates for future reference.

■ Do not overtighten hose or use tape or sealants on valve. Damage to the valves can result.
■ Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug. Use adjustable pliers tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with cold water inlet valve.
