washer tub from a variable speed, reversible motor. A beltless direct-drive motor generates
a higher spin speed of 1,300 rpm for more effective, quiter operation. The washer also has
fewer moving parts, meaning fewer repairs.
8. Sanitize
When selecting this cycle, the water heats to an extra high temperature to remove 99.9%
of certain bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, or towels. This certification is
conducted by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and certification
organization.

BASIC LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Electrical
• 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker
Individual branch circuit serving only your Washer is recommended.
Your Washer is equipped with a power cord.
NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
CAUTION
Grounding
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED ON THIS APPLIANCE.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a
properly installed and grounded outlet.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it
does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and
grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.
70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the
appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.
NEVER CONNECT GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES, OR HOT
....... WATER PIPES.
Water
To correctly fill your Washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20-116 psi (137-
800kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve
to shut off completely. Or, it may extend the fill time beyond what your Washer controls allow,
resulting in your Washer turning off. A time limit is built into the controls in the event of an internal
hose becoming loose and flooding your home.
The water faucets must be within 4 feet/122 cm of the back of your Washer for the inlet hoses
provided with your Washer.
/k
WARNING
CAUTION
Accessory inlet hoses are available invarious lengths up to 10 feet/305cm for faucets that
are further away from the back of your Washer.
To avoid the possibility of water damage:
,, Have water faucets easily accessible
Turn off faucets when the washer is not in use.
• Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fittings.
CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVEAND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.
Using hard water or bad quality water may cause the water supply valve to operate
abnormally.
Drain facility
The recommended height of the standpipe is 18 in/46 cm. The drain hose must be routed
through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the
outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached at the factory.
instaling your washer 15

Flooring
For best performance, your Washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors
may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting
and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration may cause your washer to move slightly
during the spin cycle.
Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
Location considerations
Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always
maintain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. This can cause damage to the
pump, hoses and other components.
Alcove or closet installation
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:
Sides - 1 in /25 mm Top - 17 in /432 mm

• Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation.
Has no dust, oil and detergent etc.
Is away from direct sunlight
Has adequate ventilation
Will not freeze (below 32°F or O°C)
Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas
Has enough slack for the power cord.
Doesn't have any carpeting that will obstruct ventilation openings.
STEP 2
Removing the Shipping Bolts
Before using your Washer, you must remove the four shipping
bolts from the back of the unit.
1. Loosen all the bolts with the supplied wrench.
2. Slide the bolt and spacer up and remove the bolt with the
spacer through the hole in the rear wall of your washer.
Repeat for each bolt.
3. Fillthe holes with the supplied Bolt Hole Covers (See page 14).

STEP 3
Installing your Washer
1. Place the drain hose in the drain facility. Be
sure an airtight connection is NOT made
between the drain hose and the standpipe.
The standpipe must be at least 18 in or 46
cm high.
_ Caution must always be exercised to
avoid collapsing or damaging the drain
hose. For best results, the drain hose
should not be restricted in any way - by
elbows, couplings, or excessive lengths.
For situations where the drain hose
cannot be conveniently elevated to at
least 18 in or 46 cm, the drain hose must
be supported.
If drain hose is installed below 18"(460m),
water can be drained in cycle working
cause of siphon phenomenon. Itcauses
the washer to "nF" error.
Laundry tub
_ rain Hose can be installed until 96"(245cm) maximum.
But drain capability can be reduced at this height. It
causes the washer to have odor, because of remained
water in the drain system.
_ Connection the hose guide within 6"(15cm) from the end
of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended more
than 6"(15cm) beyond the end of the hose guide, mold or
microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.

2. Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside each fill
hose.
Thread the inlet hoses to the HOT and COLD faucet
connections.
On the other end of the hose, check for one rubber washer
per hose and install each fill hose to the water valve. Make
sure the hose with the Hot printed line is attached to the
HOT faucet. Tighten by hand until snug, then two-thirds of a
turn with pliers.
3. Connect the other end of the Hot and Cold water supply Cold printed
hose to the inlet water valve at the rear of the washing
machine.Tighten by hand until snug, then two-thirds of a
turn with pliers.
For correct water use, connect both HOT and COLD water
valves. If either or both are not connected, an "nF" (no fill)
error can occur.
4. Turn on the "HOT" and "COLD "water supply and check all
connections at the water valve and the faucet for leaks.

5. Slide your washer into position.
6. Level your washer by turning the leveling legs in or out as
necessary by hand or by using the wrench included with
your washer.
When your washer is level, tighten the locking nuts using
the wrench or (-) flathead screwdriver.
7. Plug the power cord into a 3-Prong, well grounded 120
volt 60 Hz approved electrical outlet protected by a 15-
amp fuse or comparable circuit breaker.
Your washer is grounded through the third prong of the
power cord when plugged into a three-prong grounded
receptacle.
Your Washer must be leveled on all four sides. A
carpenter's level should be used on all four corners of
your Washer. It's a good idea after the first dozen washes
to recheck your washer's levelness.
