■Ultra Capacity
The Larger drum enables not just higher head drop and stronger
centrifugal force, but also less tangling and wrinkling of the laundry.
eavier loads, such as king size comforters, blankets, and curtains, can
be washed.
■Direct Drive System
The advanced Brushless DC motor directly drives the drum without belt
and pulley.
■Tilted Drum and Extra Large Door Opening
Tilted drum and extra large opening make it possible to load
and unload clothing more easily.
■Automatic Wash Load Detection
Automatically detects the load and optimizes the washing time.
■Child Lock
The Child lock prevents children from pressing any button to change the

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
WA NING!
• 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 2 weeks or more. YDROGEN
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
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.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
G OUNDING INST UCTIONS

Level adjustment
Installation of non-skid pads (optional)
1. Adjusting the washing machine level properly prevents
excessive noise and vibration.
Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface,
preferably in a corner of the room.
NOTE: Extend the feet no more than necessary to level the
washer. The more the feet are extended, the more the
washer will vibrate.
2. If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable feet as
required. (Do not insert pieces of wood etc. under the
feet)
Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting on the
floor and then check that the appliance is perfectly level.
(Use a spirit level)
❊After the washer is level, tighten the lock nuts up towards
of the base of the washer. All lock nuts must be tightened.
NOTE: If there are vibration and noise d ring the spin cycle,
re-check the leveling of the washer, adj st the feet as
req ired, and tighten the lock n ts sec rely to prevent
changes in adj stment.
R n the washer with a test load to make certain yo r
washer is properly leveled. P t approximately 6 po nds
of la ndry in the machine. Then, press POWER,
RINSE+SPIN, and START/PAUSE, in that order.
When the machine spins at high speed, verify that it is
stable. If not, adj st
❊ Diagonal Check
When pushing down the edges of the washing machine top
plate diagonally, the machine should not move up and down at
all. (Please, check both of two directions)
f machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate
diagonally, adjust the feet again.
Some floor surfaces are too slippery to
prevent the washer from moving on the floor
during heavily unbalanced loads. While it is
normal for an occasional load to be out of
balance, excess noise and vibration can
result from the washer moving out of position.
If these conditions are encountered, follow
the instructions below for installation of the
non-skid pads. These pads will help prevent
the washer from moving during heavy out of
balance conditions thereby reducing noise
and vibration.

1. Fabric Care Labels
Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your
garment and how it should be washed.
2. Sorting
To get the best results, 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 occur causing discoloration of white clothing. If possible, do not wash
heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.
Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amo nt of soil.
Color (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
Lint (Lint Prod cers, Collectors) Wash lint prod cers and lint collectors separately.
3. Check before loading
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.
Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.
Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar
items.
• Check all the pockets to make sure that they
are empty. Things such as clip, matches,
pens, coins, and keys can damage both your
washer and your clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks, and strings to make
sure that these items do not snag on other
clothes.
• Pretreat dirt and stains by brushing a little
detergent dissolved in water onto stains like
collars and cuffs to help lift dirt.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
IMPO TANT SAFETY INST UCTIONS before operating this appliance.
NOTE: Do not wash or spin water-proof clothes.

and soil level of the load.
For best results, avoid using too much detergent.
• Add detergent to this compartment
when using the Prewash option.
Liquid or powdered detergent may
be used in this compartment. The
detergent will automatically be
dispensed during Prewash if the
Prewash option is selected.
• Add 1/2 the recommended amount
of detergent to the Prewash
