READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities may be different or reduced, or who lack experience or knowledge, unless such persons receive supervision or training to operate the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
This appliance has a cord that has a grounding wire with a 3-prong plug. The power cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded. If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with another appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the power cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord. Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prongs) adapters.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
Any questions concerning power or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician.
Risk of child entrapment. Children must be supervised around this appliance. Ensure that the lid is removed before discarding this appliance.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
It is important that the appliance is level to help avoid unbalanced loads and excessive noise.
The leveling foot is located on the front right side of the appliance. There is a solid foot on the front left side of the appliance and there are two rollers on the back.
You will need the following tools to install the washer:
Ensure that all provided accessories are present and accounted for:
The noise proof plate will help to muffle excessive noise from the appliance during agitation. Follow the steps below to install the noise proof plate.
The water supply faucet must fi t standard 3/4" (19.05 mm) female garden hose couplings. Do not use slip-on or clamp-on connections as the water pressure may cause them to leak.
Tighten all connections by hand until they are snug and then tighten them another quarter turn with a wrench to ensure they are secure.
Check all connections for leaks before using the appliance. If leaks are detected, it may be necessary to add a rubber washer or Teflon tape to the connection.
The water inlet hose should always be connected to a cold water supply.
The quick connect assembly can be used to connect the appliance to a kitchen or bathroom faucet to provide water to the appliance.
A breakdown of the quick connect assembly is below.
Remove the aerator from the faucet before attaching the faucet adapter.
Pull down on the locking collar and pull up on the faucet adapter to remove the adapter from the assembly and then install the adapter on the faucet.
Turn on the faucet to check for leaks at the connection before continuing. If leaks are present, it may be necessary to wrap the faucet adapter or the faucet with Teflon tape before connecting the adapter to the faucet.
Pull down on the locking collar and push the quick connect assembly onto the bottom of the faucet adapter. Release the locking collar to attach the quick connect to the faucet.
Attach one end of the water inlet hose to the quick connect assembly. Place the other end of the hose in the sink and turn on the water supply to clear the hose of any dust. When the water runs clear, turn off the water supply and connect the hose to the water inlet connection on the top of the appliance.
The drain hose will arrive pre-attached to the appliance. During operation of the appliance, the drain hose should be directed toward a sink or drain to catch the discarded water as it exits the appliance.
When running the drain hose to a drain, ensure that there are no bends in the hose as this can cause a blockage and impede the drain function.
The drain hose can be directed upward toward a sink or bucket but ensure that the hose does not rise more than 100 cm (39 in) from the ground as this can impact the drain function.
This appliance is designed for high efficiency powder detergent. It is recommended to use 1/4 to 1/2 of the amount of detergent recommended by the detergent manufacturer. Remember to reduce the amount of detergent if the load is small or lightly soiled or if the water supply is very soft water.
Detergent can be placed directly into the washer tub. Do not pour liquid bleach directly onto the wash load as this can damage fabric.
Use the instructions below to choose the desired program.
Prior to starting a new program, check the following:
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance, ensure that the water inlet hose has been disconnected and that the power cord has been unplugged.
Clean the outside of the appliance with a warm, damp cloth. Avoid using detergents or chemicals as this can damage or discolor the cabinet.
The lint filter is on the interior of the wash tub and should be cleaned approximately every 10 cycles. Remove the lint filter from the tub, open it and remove any lint that has accumulated. It can be rinsed under cold water but do not use detergents or chemicals. Ensure that the lint filter is replaced in the appliance before beginning a new program.
The pump filter is on the back of the appliance and should be cleaned once a month. Remove the filter from the rear of the appliance and rinse it under cold water. Ensure the pump filter is replaced in the appliance before beginning a new program.
The water inlet may require periodic cleaning to remove debris or hard water build up. Ensure the water inlet hose has been disconnected from the appliance. Remove the filter screen from the inlet valve and remove any debris or hard water build up. The filter screen can be rinsed under cold water to remove any build up. Ensure that the filter screen is replaced in the water inlet valve before reattaching the water inlet hose.
A rinse of vinegar and water can be run through the washing machine to remove any stains on the inner tub or any lingering odors.
Place 1/2 cup of vinegar in the washing machine and choose the highest water level. Allow the appliance to run a full wash program with no laundry to remove stains and odors.
