• 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 w
ater
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.

exposed to the weather or
freezing temperatures.

• T
o minimize noise
and vibration, the washer
MUST be installed on
a solidly constructed floor.
See the NOTE below.
•
Allowable slope under the
entire washer is
1° maximum.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not
recommended.
• Never install the washer on a
platform or weakly
supported structure. Use only an approved
accessory pedestal as described
below
.
NOTE:
Please note that the floor must be strong
and rigid enough to support the weight of the
washer when fully loaded, without flexing or
bouncing. 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.
Required Dimensions for Installation

IMPORTANT:
If you are installing your washer
using an optional pedestal base or stacking
kit, please refer to

NOTE:
Before installing the
washer, make sure the floor is
clean, dry and free of dust, dirt,

to excess vibration and noise due to poor contact
with the floor.
NOTE:
If a drip pan must
be used, take extra care
to follow the instructions
provided with the drip pan
and make sure the leveling
feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with
the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly
level the machine may result in increased vibration
and noise during operation.

CARACTERÍSTICAS ESPECIALES
CAJÓN DE DEPÓSITO DE DETERGENTE
Este cajón de cuatro secciones provee depósitos
separados para el
prelavado y detergente
principal de lavado, así como suavizante líquido
de telas.
COMPUERTA DE SEGURIDAD DE FÁCIL
ACCESO
La compuerta extra-grande se asegura durante
el funcionamiento y consta de un bloqueo
demorado para prevenir que la compuerta se
abra hasta que el interior de la lavadora se haya
enfriado y haya bajado el nivel del agua.
MOTOR DE ACCIÓN DIRECTA
El motor de acción directa elimina la correa
y las poleas incluidas en la mayoría de las
lavadoras para brindar desempeño y confiabilidad
mejorados, a la vez que aumenta el ahorro
de energía.
DIAGNÓSTICOINTELIGENTE™

su lavadora, podra transmitir la
informacion
por telefono al Centro de Atencion al Cliente.
El agente que responsa a su llamada anotara
la informacion transmitida con respecto a su

y le facilitara un diagnostico rapido y efectivo.
(Consulte la pagina 32.)
RETENEDOR DE PUERTA (STOPER)
MAGNÉTICO
De manera segura y conveniente mantiene la
puerta ligeramente abierta usando un
retenedor
magnético. Esto ayudará a mantener fresco el
interior de la maquina mediante la circulación
del aire. Para utilizar esta función, después de
que la carga se ha
removido, no cierre la puerta
completamente.
Cuando el retenedor magnético entra en contacto
con el metal del gabinete de la lavadora,
mantendrá la puerta ligeramente abierta.

NIVELACIÓN DE LA LAVADORA
INSTALACIÓN DE LAS
ALMOHADILLAS
ANTIDESLIZANTES (OPCIONAL)

Patas

El tambor de su nueva lavadora centrifuga a
velocidades muy altas, de
hasta 1,200 r.p.m.
Para minimizar la vibración, el ruido y movimiento
no deseados, el piso deberá ser una superficie
perfectamente nivelada y sólida.
NOTA:
Fije las patas niveladoras solo en la
medida necesaria para nivelar la lavadora. La
extensión de las patas niveladoras más de lo
necesario puede causar vibración de la
lavadora.
Las superficies de algunos pisos son demasiado
deslizantes para evitar que la lavadora se mueva
sobre el piso durante los ciclos de lavado de
cargas fuertemente desbalanceadas.
Aunque se considera normal el desbalanceo
puntual de ciertas cargas, se pueden
producir
ruidos y vibraciones excesivos debidos al
desplazamiento de la lavadora.
Si se produjesen estas condiciones, siga las
instrucciones expuestas a continuación relativas a
la instalación de las almohadillas antideslizantes.
Estas almohadillas antideslizantes ayudarán
a evitar que la lavadora se desplace durante
los ciclos de l
avado con carga fuertemente
desbalanceada, al mismo tiempo que
reducirán el
ruido y la vibración.
Afloje las tuercas de seguridad en las 4 patas
niveladoras hasta que pueda girar la pata con
la llave incluida. Gire en la dirección de las
agujas del reloj para levantar la lavadora o al
contrario para bajarla.

AUSE (inicio/pausa).
Vea las siguientes
secciones para obtener información adicional
sobre la selección y el funcionamiento de ciclos.
Verifique que la lavadora no se meza
o vibre
excesivamente durante el ciclo de
centrifugado.
Si la lavadora vibra o se sacude, ajuste las patas
niveladoras hasta que se encuentre estable y
vuelva a comprobar.
• Las 4 patas niveladoras deberán apoyarse rmemente
en el piso. Mueva la lavadora suavemente de esquina
a esquina para asegurarse de que no se balancee.
Si está instalando la lavadora en el accesorio
de pedestal opcional, deberá usar las patas
niveladoras del
pedestal
para nivelar la lavadora.
Las patas niveladoras de la lavadora deberán estar
completamente replegadas y fijas en su posición con
las tuercas de seguridad.
