Remove the transport bolts



CAUTION

DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE OR INJURY POSSIBLE

 The machine is secured for transport with transport bolts.

Leveling the washer

Importance of leveling the washer

Your new washer uses high spin speeds to remove water at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that your washer is level and that all four washer feet press with equal pressure against the floor. This will help assure the quietest, most vibration-free use of your washer.

Follow these steps:

1.

Install the washer on a level and solid surfaces.

Preferably in a corner of a room.

2.

If the floor is uneven (or out of level ) adjust the washer feet as required to level the washer. Do not place anything under the washer feet to help level the washer.

3.

Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The more the feet are extended, the more vibration the washer will experience. Start with the washer feet turned all the way in and adjust each foot as necessary.

4.

Use a bubble level to check the top of the washer to make sure it is level side to side and front to rear.

5.

Press down on each corner of the washer top to make sure the washer doesn’t “wobble”. There should be no “give” or movement. All four washer feet should press equally against the floor.

This is just as important as the washer being level to prevent vibration.

6.

When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock the washer feet in place by tightening the locknuts against the washer bottom. Be sure to do this without changing the height of the foot

(hold the foot while tightening the locknut)

Installation

Procedure for adjusting the washer feet:

1.

After determining which washer feet need to be extended, have someone lift up on the washer slightly to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.

2.

Turn the grey plastic foot to extend it downward as far as necessary to raise the corner of the washer the correct amount to level the washer.

3.

When the height of the foot is correct, use a 17 mm open end wrench to tighten the locknut against the washer bottom. The locknut should be tighten against the bottom of the washer to lock the foot in place.

To avoid risk of explosion never clean the washer with flammable solvents.

Clean the appliance’s exterior surface when required as follows:

- Use hot soapy water or a mild (non-abrasive) cleaning agent.

- Rub dry with a soft towel.

- Remove residue immediately.

- Do not use high pressure spray.

Cleaning the drum

Metallic debris left in the drum can product rust spots on the drum. Never use steel wool to try to remove these. Use a chlorine-free cleaning agent and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Care and maintenance

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash cycle, water pressure is very strong and very stong and a cracked hose could easily spilt open.



Never use second-hand hoses.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

If there is a buildup of residual detergent or additives, or if the softener compartment is not rinsed out well enough, it may be helpful to clean the dispenser.

Normal water pressure from your home, that remains in the supply hoses after turning off the taps, will cause a small amount of water to drip out when you remove the water supply hose from the back of the washer. Be sure to close the taps completely before removing the supply hoses to minimize the amount of water.

RISK OF SCALDING

Risk of hot water injury to skin !

Allow the water to cool down prior to actuating the emergency door lock release.

You are responsible for ensuring all safety precautions are followed when draining water from washer and/or manually opening the washer door.

It may be necessary to clean the washer drain pump if the washer fails to drain (sound of the water being pumped from the washer cannot be heard when the washer should be draining and other nearby drains, such as a sink, are draining properly).

The washer pump can become blocked by loose debris (a good reason to check the drum and remove any visible debris after each load). Fabrics that give off large amounts of fluff may also cause blockage.

To access the washer drain pump, the service cover must first be removed (see steps below). With the service cover removed, proceed as follows:

1.

If the washer has not been drained, try to drain it now. Turn the program selector knob to the

Spin/Drain , select Spin Speed to No Spin and press the Start/Pause button. Wait a few moments to let the cycle drain the water from the drum. If the pump is totally blocked, the water will be unable to drain and the cycle will end.

2.

Shut off the tap so that no more water flows in and has to be drained. Switch the appliance off.

Unplug the power plug.

3.

Open the service cover. water into a suitable container (up to

5.3U.S.gallon/20 liters of water may be drained).

Pull the sealing cap from the hose and lay the hose over the side of the container and allow the water to finish draining from the drum. When finished, replace the sealing cap into the end of the hose and restore the hose to its storage location.

5.

Turn the pump cover counterclockwise to remove it. A small amount of residual water may flow out when the cover is removed. Clean the interior of the pump hosing, removing any debris or foreign objects. Check to be sure the impeller where at the back of the pump housing can now turn freely. Remove any lint, debris or detergent residue from the threads of the pump cover and the pump cover housing. Replace the pump cover by screwing tightly into position. Handle must be vertically.

6.

Close the service cover. Wipe up any spilled water.

4.

Use the pull-out drain hose located in the pump access opening to drain the remaining
