Note: Hot water needs to be at a temperature of at least 120 degree F 140
Degree F (49 Degree C - 60 Degree C) for the soap to dissolve and to avoid
soap residue remaining on clothes. If your water temperature is not at above
described level when washing your clothes, you need to regulate your water
heater to maintain that temperature.
Loading the Washer:
• Load each item loosely.
•Separate the white and colored clothes. Separate heavy clothes from light clothes.
•Carefully check all pockets and cuffs for small items. They can easily slide in to the
tub and may damage the tub.
• Pre-treat all stains and heavily soiled areas for best results.
• Do not overload your washer.
•Close the door properly after loading the clothes.

Proper Use of Dispenser:
The detergent/softener dispenser is located on the upper left corner of the washer.
Open the dispenser by pulling it out. You will see that there are three compartments.
Middle Compartment: This is used for liquid detergent for pre-wash. This is
used when you want to pre-wash heavily soiled dirty clothes before going to actual

Left Compartment: This is used for liquid fabric softener.
Proper Use of Fabric Softener:
•Pour in liquid fabric softener into left side compartment as recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Do not exceed the level in the compartment to avoid overflow.

English
Proper Use of Detergent:
Low-Susding is recommended for front load style washers. This type of detergent
prevents damage to your washing machine; which may be caused by excess
amount of suds entering the condensing compartment.
Note: You can use less or more detergent depending on the size of the load, water
type in your area whether it is soft or hard and whether the clothes are
heavily soiled or lightly soiled. Besides the performance of the washing
machine the quality of the detergent also affect the washing result.
Warning: •Never pour fabric softener directly onto clothes because it will stain
your clothes or you may get spots on your clothes.
•Do not use powder form of softener into dispenser otherwise it will
clog up the dispenser. This dispenser is only designed for liquid form.
Dryer Operation:
• Your dryer is "condensing type" which means it requires no venting. During
the drying process, the evaporating water from your clothes is condensed by the
machine and drained in the form of water out of the drain hose. The machine
uses small amount of fresh water that is automatically fed to the machine from the
inlet hose. You may hear that the machine is drawing water during the dry cycle.
• With this vent-less design, you can install the dryer under the counter to have
built-in look or any other enclosed area. You do not need to worry about
exhausting the hot air from the area where it is installed.
Note: The drying operation of this unit is unlike other dryers you may have used in
the past. Large household and laundromat dryer operate on 220 volt which
supply more elctricity and allows faster drying time. Your dryer operates on
115 volt; which supply less electricity resulting in longer drying time.
• You can select drying time up to 120 mintutes. See below the recommended
temperature and time setting for different clothes:

60-80 minutes
40-50 minutes

Note: For full loads, you may want to remove 1/3to 1/2of the load and dry the
remaining clothes seperately. This will be an efficient way to dry your clothes
and will not take as long to dry. For less than full loads, you may want to
reduce drying time. This will prevent over drying your clothes.
Manual Operation of the Dryer:
• To operate the dryer manually, simply load machine with wet clothes, turn the
"Dryer Selector Knob" to the desired time and push the power button "ON".
Note: When operating the dryer, you must keep "Wash Cycle Selector" knob in
the "OFF" position in order to have dryer "ON".
Automatic Operation of the Dryer:
•For the automatic operation, simply set the "Dry Cycle Selector Knob" to the
desired time at the beginning of the wash cycle. When the wash cycle is finished,
the dryer will turn on automatically.
Note: The dryer will not turn on automatically if the spin cycle is on "OFF"
position. You must keep the spin cycle button in "ON" position in order to go
from wash function to dryer function automatically.
Note: When washing full load, we recommend that you keep the spin cycle in the
"OFF" position to prevent the unit from going to dry mode automatically at
the end of cycle if the spin cycle was in "ON" position. This will give you the
flexibility to take out 1/3 to 1/2 of the load and dry the remainder. The
advantage is that your clothes will dry evenly and more quickly.
Loading the dryer:
1. Sort clothes for drying. Seperate dark and light colored items, like you do for
washing. Check for stains that have not been removed in washing. Dryer heat
may permanently set some stains. Properly dried clothes will need minimum of
care when removed from dryer.
2. Load up dryer with washed clothes. For optimum result, use dryer load of similar
weight, fabric and construction. Place small items in a mesh bag to prevent from
tangling. Do not overload the dryer. Add fabric softener sheet if desired.
3. Select the drying time depending on the fabric type and load size.
4. Wait for the drying cycyle to finish before opening the door.
Note: Do not over dry your clothes. over drying can cause shrinkage,
harshness and wrinkling of fabric.

Washer does not operate:
• Check if unit is plugged in. The plug may have come loose.
• Check if the electrical wall receptacle is of proper voltage.
•Check if the circuit breaker needs to be reset or if the fuse needs to be replaced.
• Check if the unit is in “Off” mode.
•Check if the washer is overloaded: load may need to be re-balanced and clothes
may need to be redistributed.
• Check if the door is open. You may have to close the door properly.
•Check if the control knob is set properly. You may have to adjust the control knob.
•The washer pauses in some cycles. This is normal in delicate or hand-washable
cycle, which has short soak period where your clothes are being soaked for very
short period of time. You will not hear washer operation for a short period of
time. When the soak time is over, it will start automatically.
Problems with water:
•Not enough water coming out: Water faucet may need to be turned on fully.
Water hoses may be tangled up or wrinkled up. Straighten up hoses. Check water
level selection, it may need to be readjusted.
• Water Temperature is incorrect: Check your water heater temperature. Hot water
needs to be at a temperature at least 120˚F -140˚F (49˚C – 60˚C). Check to
make sure the inlet hoses are properly connected. (e.g. hot to hot & cold to cold)
• Water leaks: This is due to not properly installing drain hose or fill hoses. Your
home drain may be clogged or having constant water pressure. You may need to
tighten hoses, check the plumbing or call a plumber.
• Water pumped out before the cycle is completed: It happens if you open the door
in the middle of cycle.
• Water will not drain: This is due to not installing your drain hose properly. You
may need to connect the drain hose properly. Check the position of the drain
hose. In order to drain properly, make sure that top of drain outlet is less than 4
ft. (1.2 m) above the floor.
