Individual branch circuit serving only for your washer is recommended

WARNING: NEVER use an extension cord.

Electrical grounding is required for this washer.
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: An improperly connected equipment-grounding conductor can increase the risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified technician 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 technician. 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.

WARNING: NEVER connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

To correctly fill your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 14 to 70psi (100 to 500 kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 14psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve to shut off completely, or may extend the fill time beyond what your washer controls allow, causing your washer to turn off and alarm error.
A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your home if a hose becomes loose.
The water faucet must be within 4 feet / 122cm of the back of your washer to match the inlet hoses provided with 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.

The recommended height of the standpipe is 35in. or 90cm.
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.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: Before installing, make sure there are rubber gaskets inside the fittings at both ends of the water supply hoses. (Refer to Figure 8.) If there are no water inlet hoses packed with the washer or if the hoses are damaged, call 888-775-0202. 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. If a hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.

Tilt the unit back onto its rear rollers and push it forward as shown in the figure to your right. (Refer to Figure 9.) Move the unit to a location as described in the previous Location Requirements section Above.

It is suggested to clean the pump filter once every month. Take the filter out and clean it with water. Then place it back into the washer.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Your washing machine is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage. If your washer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service:

Problem	Possible Causes	Solutions
Thumping sound	Heavy wash loads may produce a thumping sound. Washer load may be out of balance.	This is normal. If sound continues, washer is probably out of balance. Stop and redistribute wash load. Pause the cycle and redistribute the load.
Vibrating noise	Packaging materials were not removed. Wash load may be unevenly distributed in the tub. Not all leveling feet are resting firmly and evenly on the floor. Floor not rigid enough.	See the UNPACKING AND REMOVING SHIPPING MATERIAL section in the installation instructions. Pause the cycle and redistribute the load. See Leveling the Washer in the Installation Instructions. Make sure that the floor is solid and does not flex. See Flooring in the Installation Requirements.
Excessive sudsing	Too much detergent or incorrect detergent.	HE detergents are formulated specifically for High-Efficiency washers and contain suds reducing agents. Only use detergent with the High-Efficiency (HE) logo.
Water leaking	Inlet hose connection is loose at faucet or washer. House drain pipes are clogged. Drain hose has come out of drain or is not inserted far enough. A large item such as a pillow or blanket is above the top of the tub.	Check hoses for leaks, cracks and splits. Check and tighten hose connections. The washer pumps out water very rapidly. Check for water backing up out of the Drain pipe during drain. If water is seen coming out of the drain, check for proper drain hose installation and check for Restrictions in drain. Contact a plumber to repair drain pipe. Tie drain hose to inlet hose or standpipe to prevent it from coming out during drain. For smaller drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the pipe as far as the drain hose flange. For larger drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the pipe 1-2 in. past the flange . Stop the washer and check the load. Make sure the load does not crest above the top edge of the tub.
Rattling and clanking noise	Foreign objects, such as keys, coins, or safety pins, may be in tub or pump.	Stop washer, check tub and drain filter for foreign objects. If noise continues after washer is restarted, call for service.
Wrinkling	Washer not unloaded promptly. Washer overloaded. Hot and cold water inlet hoses are reversed.	ALWAYS remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle is complete. The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub should not be tightly packed with items. The lid of the washer should close easily. Hot water rinse can set wrinkles in garments. Check the inlet hose connections.
Staining	Washer was not unloaded promptly. Clothes were not properly sorted.	ALWAYS remove items from the washer as soon as possible after the cycle is complete.
