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.

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 wrench.

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 wrench.

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:

Over the edge of a wash basin

Secure the guide to the side of the basin wall

with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string to

prevent the drain hose from moving.

In a standpipe or laundry tub

The standpipe must be no shorter than 39 in (99

cm) and no longer than 96 in (245cm).

Make sure that the connection between the

drain hose and the standpipe is not airtight.

Connection the hose guide within 4 in (10cm)

from the end of the drain hose. If the drain hose is

extended more than 4 in (10cm) beyond the end of the

hose guide, mold or microorganisms could spread to the

inside of 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 drain hose is installed below 39 in (99cm), water can be

drained in cycle working cause of siphon phenomenon. It

causes the washer to “4E” error.

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.

ATC (AUTO TEMPERATURE CONTROL)

ATC is the control function that the washer controls water temperature with temperature sensor (thermistor).

Because there are numerous water temperatures depending on the customer’s environments(cold

areas, warm areas, various water temperature, settings of heater temperature, etcs), ATC function in

our washer maintains the certain level of wash temperature to output the best washing performance at

each cycle.

If you select normal & heavy duty course, those courses are the regulation and UL course. Since new

washer must reduce the amount of energy usage at ﬁrst priority, customer will notice more cold water

entering the washer. But This is Normal, not a problem.

In those regulation course, Hot temperature is similar to acceptable adult bath-water temperature and

warm temperature is similar to comfortable swimming-pool water temperature.

If customer want to wash clothes in speciﬁc water temperature, customer should choose a dierent

course at each temperature(Hot/Warm/Eco Warm)

English - 24

DETERGENT USE

Your washer is designed to use high eciency (HE) detergents.

• For best cleaning results, use high eciency detergents such as

Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High eciency detergents

contain suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer

suds are produced, the load tumbles more eciently and cleaning is

maximized.

Regular detergent is not recommended. Use HE detergents only.

Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the quality of cleaning. It is important to pre–treat

stains, sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.

* Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.

FEATURES

Automatic dispenser

Your washer has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and color-safe bleach and

fabric softener. Add all laundry additives to their respective compartments before starting your

Washer.

The automatic dispenser MUST ALWAYS be in place before you start your washer.

DO NOT open the automatic dispenser when your washer is running.

• Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent.

• This compartment holds liquid detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the

load at the beginning of the cycle.

• When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent compartment from the

detergent drawer. The washer will not dispense powdered detergent from the liquid

detergent compartment.

To add detergent to the automatic dispenser:

1. Open the dispenser drawer.

2. Load the recommended amount of liquid (or powder) detergent into the detergent

compartment before you start your wash.

3. Close the drawer slowly and smoothly to avoid spilling, splashing, or premature dispensing of

the contents.

It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the

dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.

Do not put chlorine bleach in the dispenser drawer.

Loading the Liquid (or Powder) detergent compartment

1. Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent

directly into the detergent compartment before starting

your washer.

2. If you are using color-safe bleach, add it with the detergent

to the detergent compartment.

When adding color-safe bleach with detergent, it is best if

both laundry products are in the same form – liquid.

When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid

detergent compartment from the detergent drawer. The

washer will not dispense powdered detergent from the

liquid detergent compartment.

Loading the Bleach compartment

(Liquid chlorine bleach only)

1. Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.

DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL line.

• Avoid splashing or over–ﬁlling the compartment.

• Your washer automatically dispenses bleach into the

tub at the appropriate time.

2. The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach

before it reaches the wash load.

• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly

onto the load or into the tub. It is a powerful chemical

and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of

the ﬁbers or color loss, if not used properly.

• If you prefer to use color–safe, non–chlorine bleach,

add it to the appropriate detergent compartment.

DO NOT pour color–safe bleach into the Bleach compartment.

The clothes washer can not ensure these temperatures because the actual temperature of the water entering

your washer depends on water heater settings and regional water supply temperatures. For example, cold

some hot water to the MAX FILL line, or using your Washer’s heating option, if available.
