The 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.
• Do not insert the drain hose more than 12” (30 cm) into the drain pipe to avoid siphoning and

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
the washer can result.
• Water supply pressure must be between 7.2 psi and 87 psi (50~600kPa) If the water supply
pressure is more than 87 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
Check before Loading
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Things such as nails, hairclips, matches,
pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.
• Mend any torn garments or loose buttons. Tears or holes may become larger during washing.
• Remove belts, underwires, etc. to prevent damage to the machine or your clothes.
• Pretreat any dirt and stains.
• Make sure the clothes are washable in water.
• Check the washing instructions.
• Remove any paper or tissue in the pockets.
• underwire
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.
※
Do 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 (Skling 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 washing bag is not supplied by Kenmore.
Pretreatment on stains or heavy soil
• Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pre-wash product or liquid detergent when placing them in the washer.
Before washing treat special stains with bar soaps, liquid detergent, or a paste of water and powdered detergent.
• Use a pretreat soil and stain remover.
Treat stains AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The longer they are left, the harder they are to remove.

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.
