Operation Instructions

Initial Setup

1. Document Details: Register model/serial (lid underside), acquisition date, vendor info.
2. Electrify: Insert into grounded 3-prong socket; activate faucets.
3. Parameter Calibration:

Validate hot water (min 130°F/54°C); thermometer optional.
Hard water (>8 grains/gallon): softener or augmented detergent.

4. Diagnostic Cycle: Vacant Normal with hot to inspect integrity.

Operating the Washing Machine

1. Classify Textiles: Soil, lint, hue, material; Laundry Tips.
2. Detergent Infusion: Quantify/add pre-clothing; color-safe bleach viable.
3. Bleach Integration: Max 1 cup chlorine to dispenser (auto-dilution).
4. Textile Insertion: Loose to upper basket half.
5. Configuration: Magnitude, thermal, sequence; secure lid.
6. Initiate Sequence: Extract Cycle Knob; softener in terminal rinse.
7. Sequence Closure: Expeditious removal; lint filter purge.

Cycle Selection

Fabric/soil alignment:

Heavy: Profound soiled robust; 14 min, superior kinetics.
Normal: Cottons/linens; 12 min, superior extraction.
Permanent Press: Synthetics; 10 min, thermal abatement rinse, subdued extraction; intermissions standard.
Knits/Delicate: Fine/knitted; 8 min, mitigated kinetics/subdued extraction.
Rinse and Spin: Supplementary rinse/superior extraction for soiled/special.
Drain and Spin: Evacuation/superior extraction, no infusion.

Note: Infusion per magnitude; intermissions in sequences.

Laundry Tips

Stratification: Soil/lint/hue/material segregation; blemish pre-mediation.
Insertion: Loose to 1/2 basket; heterogeneous magnitudes; surcharge aversion.
Aqueous Thermal: Elevated for profound soils (130°F+), temperate for bulk, chilled for conservation/light soils.
Cleanser: Quantify per batch; amplify for rigid water.
Disinfectant: Chlorine for achromatics (dispenser); hue-secure substitute.
Softener: Attenuate/add in rinse; admixture avoidance.
Conservation: Saturated batches, chilled infusions, non-peak utilization.
Distinct Items: Mesh enclosures for fine; supplementary rinse for coverings; feather cushions contraindicated.

Troubleshooting

Non-Operational: Cord/fuse/breaker/lid/knob verification.
Aqueous Absence: Faucets? Conduits contorted/obstructed? Efflux altitude.
Amplified Oscillation/Acoustics: Redistribute; equilibrate; standard intermissions.
Non-Evacuation: Efflux altitude/obstructions.
Subpar Purification: Surcharge, erroneous sequence/thermal, deficient cleanser.
Chronic Anomalies: Consult 1-800-447-6737 with model.

Installation Instructions

Warning: To mitigate fire, shock, or lesion hazards: Qualified installer; supportive substrate equilibration; proper earthing; apt aqueous/efflux linkage; meteorological/freezing safeguard; de-energize pre-maintenance; control non-interference.

Remove Old Washing Machine

Deactivate faucets/de-energize.
Disjoin ingress/efflux conduits.
Expunge transit adjuncts.
Sanitize emplacement; lid excision for juvenile entrapment if discarded.

Installing New Washing Machine

Disencumber/expunge transit.
Locale with conduit/lid clearance.
Annex ingress conduits to thermal/chilled faucets (strainers/washers seated).
Affix efflux to standpipe (supra aqueous, max 96").
Equilibrate apparatus.
Insert grounded socket; activate aqueous, integrity inspection.

Leveling the Machine

Indicator atop apparatus.
Modulate anterior/posterior pedestals for uniform substrate contact.
Constrict locknuts contra base.
Revalidate post-initial batches.

Electrical and Water Connections

Dedicated 15 A, 120 V, 60 Hz earthed socket. Aqueous pressure 20-120 psi. Pre-conduit flush.

Connection Type	Description
Electrical	Triple-prong earthed; no prolongations
Hot Water Inlet	Thermal faucet; 130°F max; aerate clearance
Cold Water Inlet	Chilled faucet; 20-120 psi
Drain	Standpipe; 30-96" altitude; siphon prophylaxis

Caution: Hibernal repository: Evacuate conduits, infuse RV antifreeze to basket, execute drain/extraction; pre-reuse flush. Service: 1-800-447-6737.
