NOTE : • T
he drain hose should always be properly secured to the drain or standpipe. Failure to secure
the drain hose properly can result in flooding and property damage.
• The end of the drain hose should be placed 39" (99 cm) above the floor.
• The drain must be installed in accordance with any applicable local codes and regulations.
• Make sure that the water lines are not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.
•D o not insert the drain hose more than 12” (30 cm) into the drain pipe to avoid siphoning and
odor build-up.
WARNING:
• The washer should never be installed or stored in a location subject to freezing temperatures. If the
washer was exposed to freezing temperatures prior to installation, allow it to stand at room
temperature for several hours before use. Damage to the water lines and internal mechanisms of
WARNING:
the washer can result.
• Water supply pressure must be between 14.5 psi and 116 psi (100 ~ 800kPa) If the water supply
pressure is more than 116 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed. If you have
uncontrolled water temperature and pressure you should fit a temperature and pressure relief valve
to ensure that water temperature and water pressure remain within the safe limits. Consult a
plumber or electrician if you are unable to adjust water temperature and or pressure. Failure to do
so can result in damage to the machine.
• Plug the power cord of washer into a properly grounded outlet. Failure to do this can result in shock
or serious injury.

3-2. BEFORE STARTING TO WASH
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.
Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle, water temperature,
and spin speed.
Sorting
To get the best results, different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.
• SOIL (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to the type and amount of soil.
• COLOR (Whites, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
• LINT (Lint producers, Collectors) Separate lint producers and lint collectors.
Lint Producers Terry cloth, Chenille, Towels, Diapers
Lint Collectors Synthetics, Corduroy, Permanent Press, Socks
• Be sure the wire supports in undergarments are secure and will not become loose in the washer.
Loading
Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
Load Size
The WATER LEVEL should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size
accordingly. Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the
washer tub. To add items after washer has started, press the START button and
submerge additional items. Close the lid and press the Start button again to restart.
※D o not wash waterproofed fabrics (such as skiing outfits, diapers, or nappy
auto seat covers.)
Light and Large-sized clothing
Clothes like downs and woolens are lightweight, large, and float easily. Use a nylon net and
wash them in a small amount of water. If the laundry floats during the wash cycle, it may
become damaged. Use dissolved detergent to prevent the detergent from clumping.
※ Do not wash water-proof textilles (Skiing outfit, baby diaper, nappy automobile seat covers.)
Long laundry items
Use nylon bag nets for long, delicate items. For laundry with long strings or long length, a bag will prevent
tangling during washing. Fasten zippers, hooks, and strings to make sure that these items don't snag on
other clothes.
※ The nylon net bag can be purchased locally.
9
1) Using Water
Water Temperature
• The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program .
You can override the preset selection by pressing the water temperature icon. Touch the arrow buttons up or
down until your desired temperature setting is displayed.
• The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and, therefore, the cleaning results.
• We recommend temperatures of:
- HOT 120°F (120-140°F) White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.
- WARM 90°F (85-105°F) Most items
- COLD 66°F (65-75°F) Only very bright colors with light soil.
• When washing in COLD water additional steps may be needed:
- Adjust detergent amount and pre-dissolve detergent in WARM water
- Pretreat spots and stains
- Soak heavily soiled items
- Use appropriate bleach
* Temperature below 18°C (65°F) will not activate laundry additives and may cause lint, residue, poor cleaning, etc.
In addition, detergent manufactures and care labels define COLD water as 26~29°C (80-85°F).
If the temperature of the water in the tub is too cold for your hands, the detergent will not activate and clean
effectively.
Note
If iron is present in the water, the clothes may become an all-over yellow or they may be stained with brown or
orange spots or streaks. Iron is not always visible. Installation of water softener or an iron filter may be
necessary for severe cases.
10
2) Using Detergent
Detergent
Follow the detergent package directions. Using too little detergent is a common cause of laundry problems.
Use more detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils or lower water temperature.
Your washing machine is designed for use with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are
formulated specifically for HE machines and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when
purchasing detergent. HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and
rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of your washer clean. Using a regular detergent will cause
unsatisfactory performance, oversudsing, machine build-up, and could damage the machine.
WARNING Do NOT mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids, such as vinegar or rust / scale remover.
Mixing chemicals like these can produce irritating and toxic fumes. Put the manufacturer’s recommended amount of
undiluted liquid chlorine bleach into the bleach dispenser. During the final portion of the wash cycle, two sequential flushes
of the dispenser put all the bleach into the wash load and completely flush the dispenser to eliminate the carryover of
bleach to a subsequent load. Any liquid remaining in the bleach dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach. To
prevent unintentional self-siphoning of the bleach, never fill the dispenser higher than the maximum fill level marked on
the dispenser. When adding bleach to the dispenser, be careful to avoid spilling it into the laundry load or leaving droplets
of bleach around the dispenser. These things will damage your laundry items.

Adding Detergent
NOTE: Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load.
It may stain the clothes.
If you use an ultra-thick fabric softener, you might
want to dilute it with water so it dispenses easily.
If desired, place the additives for the wash boost setting in the
right-hand compartment. Use only liquid additives.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line to avoid detergent buildup

3) Special Guide for Stain Removal
WARNING
Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach with other household chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust removers, acid, or products
containing ammonia. These mixtures can produce dangerous fumes which can cause serious injury or death.
T
o reduce the risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property, comply with the basic warnings listed below:
• Read and comply with all instructions on stain removal products.
• Keep stain removal products in their original labeled containers and out of children's reach.
• Thoroughly wash any utensil used.
• Do not combine stain removal products, especially ammonia and chlorine bleach. Dangerous fumes may result.
•N ever wash items which have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances because they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Never use highly flammable solvents, such as gasoline, inside the home. Vapors can explode on contact with flames or sparks.

and DO NOT PRESS START!
6. You should measure 10 to 15 Vdc. If 10 to 15 Vdc is present, control board, white wire, and gray
Result wire are OK! If not follow testing output voltages on control board in next section.
(Hall
Sensor) Test Points Result Remarks
7. To measure output signal voltage from the hall sensor, carefully move test leads to terminals 1 to
4, blue and gray. Slowly rotate motor rotor by hand. You should read a pulsing 10 Vdc. If 10 Vdc is
measured from 1 to 4, move lead on blue wire to red wire, terminal 2. Repeat rotating motor rotor
by hand. You should read a pulsing 10 Vdc from red to gray.
8. If pulsing 10 Vdc is measured from 1 to 4 and 2 to 4, hall sensor is OK! If either test netted only 9
to 10 Vdc without changing (no pulsing) the hall sensor is likely defective. Disconnect power by
unplugging washer and ohm check hall sensor to verify failure of the hall sensor.
