6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
7. Do not tamper with the controls.
8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless it is
specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-
repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
9. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances
to the wash water. These substances give o vapors that could ignite or explode.
10. 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 2 weeks or more, before using a washer or
combination washer-dryer, 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.

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.
Grounding
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED FOR 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.
An improperly connected equipment-grounding conductor can increase the risk of electrical
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are not sure 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 THE 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 to 116psi (137 to
800kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve
to shut o completely, or may extend the fill time beyond what your Washer controls allow,
causing your Washer to turn o. A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your
home if a hose becomes loose.
The water faucets must be within 4 feet / 122 cm of the back of your Washer to match the inlet
hoses provided with your Washer.
Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet / 275 cm 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 o faucets when the washer is not in use.
• Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fittings.

Drain facility
The recommended height of the standpipe is 39 in / 99 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 to the washer at the factory.
Flooring
For best performance, you must install your washer 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 to vibration which can 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 retain
some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water can damage the belts, the
pump, hoses, and other components.

installing your washer
IMPORTANT NOTE TO INSTALLER
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing your washer.
These instructions should be retained for future reference.
We recommend you hire a professional to install this washer.
Installation flow chart
STEP 1 Selecting a Location
Before you install the washer, make sure the location:
• Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation.
• Is away from direct sunlight.
• Has adequate ventilation.
• Is not exposed to freezing temperatures (temperatures under 32 °F or 0 °C).
• Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas.
• Has enough space so that the washer doesn’t rest on its power cord.STEP 2
Connecting the water and the drain
Connecting the water supply hose
Before installing the water supply hoses, make sure there are
rubber gaskets inside the fittings at both ends of each new
water hose. Installing the water supply hoses without rubber
gaskets can cause water leakage.
When you initially install the washer, be sure to use new hoses.
Failing to do so may result in a water leakage or overflow and
may damage your property.
Do not connect multiple water supply hoses together to
increase the length of the supply hose. Hoses connected this
way can leak and the leakage can cause electrical shock. If a
hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure
hose.

1. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the HOT and COLD
faucets.
2. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an
additional two-thirds of a turn with a plier.
When you fasten the fittings, do not fasten them too tightly or apply
tape or sealant to the faucets or water supply intakes. This can
damage the fittings.
After you have connected the water supply hoses to the faucets,
ensure that they are connected correctly by pulling the water supply
hoses downwards
3. Place the unconnected ends of the hoses into a bucket and open the
faucets connected to the two water supply hoses for 10 or 15 seconds to
remove any foreign substances from the hoses. Close the faucets before
continuing.
4. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply intake
connections at the back of the washer.
The water supply hose connected to the HOT faucet must be
connected to the hot water supply intake and the water hose
connected to the COLD faucet must be connected to the COLD
water supply intake.
5. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them
an additional two-thirds of a turn with a plier.
To ensure the correct water usage, connect both the HOT and
COLD water faucets. If either or both are not connected, an “4E”
(no fill) error can occur.
If you do not want to use the HOT water supply hose, insert
the water intake cap into the HOT water supply intake hole. In
this case, you must select the Tap Cold option for the water
temperature. If you select the Tap Cold option, all the lamps for
the water temperature options are turned o.
Confirm that the water supply hoses are not twisted or bent. If the
hoses are twisted or bent, the hoses can leak and cause electric
shock due to the water leakage.
6. Turn on the HOT and COLD water supplies and check all the water
supply intake connections and the faucets for water leaks.

Connecting the drain hose
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
In a Wall standpipe or Floor standpipe
The height of end of standpipe must be no lower than 39 in (99 cm) and no
higher than 96 in (245 cm).
If drain pipe are built into the wall with water valves (A), fasten the drain hose
to the water hose.
Make sure that the connection between the drain hose and the
standpipe is not airtight.
In a laundry tub
The height of the tub must be no lower than 39 in (99 cm) and no higher than
96 in (245 cm).
Assemble the supplied Hose guide at the end of the drain hose, and put the
hanger on laundry tub.
And fasten the drain hose to the leg of laundry tub.
Connect the hose guide (A) within 3~5 in (7.6~12.7 cm)* from the end of
the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended beyond the end of the hose
guide, mold or microorganisms could spread inside the washer.
Drain Hose can be installed until 96 in (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.
If the drain hose is installed below 39 in (99 cm), water can be drained in cycles due to a
siphon phenomenon. It causes the washer to display a “4E” error code.
STEP 3
Leveling your washer
See if the washer is level by checking the position of the tub:
1. Slide the washer into position.
2. Open the lid of the washer, and pour the water into the tub to
just below the pulsator level.
3. If the washer is level, the pulsator is positioned at the center of the
water as shown in the figure. If not, level your washer by turning the
front leveling feet clockwise or counterclockwise as necessary.
Turn the front leveling feet clockwise to raise the washer, and
counterclockwise to lower the washer.
The number of leveling feet diers with the model.

operating instructions
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
LOADING YOUR WASHER
• Fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes evenly around in order to enhance washing eciency and prevent
excess wear, or wrinkling of the load.
- For optimal washing performance, make sure the laundry is piled up evenly.
• Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery, and other lingerie in the Delicates cycle
with similar lightweight items.
• When washing big bulky items or a few smaller items that don’t fill the tub
completely – a rug, a pillow, stued toys, or one or two sweaters, for example –
add a few towels to improve spin performance.
• Do not insert bulky items except for Bedding in this cycle.
During the spin cycle, the washer may add additional water to redistribute the clothes and correct an
imbalance inside the drum.
• When washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload your washer to ensure good cleaning results.
• Inflatable items may cause damage to the laundry or the machine during the wash or drying
process.
• Regardless of the size, blankets or quilts are safer and cleaner to wash one item at a time.
Two dierent-sized blankets in the same load may compromise the drying performance due to
unbalanced loads.
To input a blanket
Fold the blanket into the blanket-specific net as shown, and then insert in the tub below the plastic
area of the tub.
Make sure the laundry is inserted completely.
• Any exposed part of the laundry may cause damage to the machine or the laundry itself, or a water
leak.
• Do not overload the tub. Make sure no part of the laundry is exposed outside of the tub.
To add a forgotten item:
1. Press the Start/Pause button to pause the washer.
2. Wait for the door to unlock automatically, and then open the door.
3. Add the item, close the door, and then press the Start/Pause button. The cycle will resume.
GETTING STARTED
1. Load your washer.
2. Add liquid (or powder) detergent and additives to the dispenser (see pages 24~26).
3. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load (see pages 18~23).
4. Close the lid.
5. Press the Start/Pause button.
6. The Wash Indicator light illuminates.
7. The estimated cycle time will appear in the display.
The time may fluctuate to indicate the time remaining in the cycle better.
The actual time required for a cycle may dier from the estimated time in the display depending on the
water pressure, water temperature, detergent, and laundry.
8. Before your washer starts to fill, it will make a series of clicking noises to check the door lock and do a
quick drain.
• When the cycle is complete, the Door Lock light will go out and “End” (WA50M7450A*,
WA50N7350A*) / “0” (WA45M7050A*, WA45N7150A*) will appear in the display.
• Pressing the Power button cancels the cycle and stops your washer.
•
The Wash, Rinse , and Spin indicator lights will illuminate during those portions of the cycle.
