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.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT SSAAFFEETTYY IINNSSTTRRUUCCTTIIOONNSS
• Read all instructions before using the washer.
• 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 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the washing
machine, 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 hiding inside.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or
attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions or published user-repair instructions
that you understand and have the skills to carry
out.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding

■Installation clearances
The location m st be large eno gh to f lly open
the washer door.
■Washer dimensions
• Most installations req ire a minim m 4 in.
(10 cm) clearance behind the washer.
■Minimum installation spacing for
recessed area installation.
The following dimensions shown are for the minim m
spacing allowed.
Additional spacing sho ld be considered for
installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be req ired for wall,
door and floor moldings.
• Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of
the washer is recommended to red ce noise
transfer.
Companion appliance spacing sho ld also be
considered.
■evel floor
• Allowable slope nder entire washer is 1°.
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer
MUST be installed on a solidly constructed
floor.

s pported str ct re.
NOTE: A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a
front-loading washer than to a top-loader.
If your floor is wood and/or frame
construction, you may need to reinforce it.
Front-loaders use substantially faster spin
speeds than top-loaders, causing greater
vibration. If the floor is not solid, your washer
will vibrate. You will hear and feel the
vibration throughout your house.
■Power outlet
• M st be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of either side of the
washer. Do not overload the o tlet with more
than one appliance.

1. Fabric Care abels
Look for a care label on yo r clothes. This will tell yo abo t the fabric content of yo r garment and how it sho ld
be washed.
2. Sorting
To get the best res lts, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.
Different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.
Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occ r ca sing
discoloration of white clothing. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.
Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
Color (White, Lights, arks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
Lint (Lint Producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.
3. Check before loading
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.
Large items sho ld not be more than half the total wash load.
Do not wash single items. This may ca se an o t-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.
• Check all the pockets to make s re that they are
empty. Things s ch as clip, matches, pens,
coins, and keys can damage both yo r washer
and yo r clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks, and strings to make s re
that these items do not snag on other clothes.
• Pretreat dirt and stains by br shing a little
detergent dissolved in water onto stains like
collars and c ffs to help lift dirt.
