Install Leveling Feet

Install the rear self-adjusting feet

1. To prevent floor damage, set the washer onto cardboard.
2. Move the washer to within approximately 3 feet (90 cm) of the final location,
3. Prop up the rear of the washer about 4 in. (10.2 cm) with a wood block or similar object. The block needs to support the weight of the washer.
4. Install the self-adjusting rear feet by pushing all the way up into the hole shown below.

Connect the Drain Hose

Remove drain hose from washer cabinet

• Gently pull the corrugated drain hose out of the washer from the top of the hose. Continue to pull the hose until the end emerges. Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the washer.

Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain

Connecting the drain hose “hook” to the corrugated drain hose

1. Open the yellow single-wire clamp and slide over the end of the drain hose about 4 in, (10.2 cm) (Pliers optional,)
2. Wet the outside end of the drain hose with tap water. Do net use any other lubricant.
3. Twist and push the “hook” back and forth while pushing down onto the drain hose. Continue until the “hook” is down to the enlarged diameter of the drain hose,
4. Open the yellow single-wire clamp (placed on the drain hose earlier) and slide over the base of the drain hose “hook” to secure the sections together. (Pliers optional.)
5. Put the hooked end of the drain hose into the laundry tub or standpipe. Rotate the “hook” to eliminate kinks.

Connect the Inlet Hose

Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets

1. Make sure the washer basket is empty.
2. Attach the hose with the red coupling to the hot water faucet. Screw on the coupling by hand until seated on the washer.
3. Attach the hose with the blue coupling to the cold water faucet. Screw on the coupling by hand until seated on the washer.
4. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn
   • Clear the water lines
5. Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a bucket or laundry tub, to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens

Level the Washer

Properly leveling your washer prevents excessive noise and vibration.

1. Check the levelness of the washer by placing a level on the top edge of the washer, first side-to-side, then front-to-back.If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly before tipping it back. If the washer is not level, prop up the front of the washer with the wood block and adjust the feet up or down as necessary. Repeat this step until the washer is level.
2. After the washer is in the final location and level, use a %ein. (1.43 cm) open-end wrench to turn the nuts on the feet tightly against the washer cabinet. If the nuts are not tight against the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
3. Tilt the washer forward until the rear of the washer is at least 4 in. (10.2 cm) off the floor. You may hear the self-adjusting rear feet click into place. Lower the washer to the floor.

Complete Installation

1. Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding method. (See “Electrical Requirements.”)
2. Check to be sure all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.
3. Check to be sure you have all of your tools.
4. Dispose/recycle all packaging materials. Keep the expanded foam plug for use if the washer should be transported.
5. Check to be sure the water faucets are on.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

CALYPSO TM Wash Motion

• The CALYPSO TM Wash Motion
• Is easier to load (since there is no agitator.)
• Is gentler on clothes. There is less wear and tear on your clothes.
• Fluffs the load after the final spin to make unloading easier
• Larger Load Size
• Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items like a sleeping bag. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads. The KING SIZE TM Capacity Plus allows for loads such as king-size bedding. You can wash a pillow or a large stuffed teddy bear.
• ULTRA QUIET PAK TM
• The ULTRA QUIET PAK reduces water sounds and ringing noises. The cabinet and base are insulated with sound-dampening materials. An additional tub wrap is added for superior vibration and sound-dampening.

WASHER USE

Starting Your Washer

The following is a guide to starting your washer. Periodic references to other sections of this manual provide more detailed information.

1. Place a load of sorted clothes into the washer. Load to a level shown below. (See “Loading.”)
2. Pour measured powdered or liquid detergent into the detergent dispenser.
   • For best performance use High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked “HE” or High Efficiency.” The new wash action of CALYPSO TM along with less water, could create too much sudsing with a regular detergent. HE detergents like TIDE ® HE are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.
   • If High Efficiency detergent is not available, use a reduced amount of regular laundry detergent.
   • NOTE: You can add color-safe bleach (liquid or powdered) to this dispenser as well.

Cycles

Use these pads to choose the right wash cycle for the type of fabrics you are washing.

• For most loads, use the time recommended in the preset cycle settings.
• For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, use more wash time.
• For light soil and delicate fabrics, use less wash time.

HEAVY DUTY

• Use this cycle to get 19 to 23 minutes of wash time for loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics such as work clothes. The cycle combines high-speed wash action and high spin speed. The preset cycle wash time is 23 minutes. Stain Treat is the default option for this cycle, but it can be turned off. (See “Changing Cycles, Options
  and Modifiers.”)
• NORMAL
• Use this cycle to get 12 to 16 minutes of wash time for normally soiled cottons and linens. The cycle combines medium-speed wash action and high spin speed. The preset cycle wash time is 14 minutes.
• JEANS/COLORS
• Use this cycle to get 14 to 18 minutes of wash time for dark, colored items that may run or fade. Cycle combines low/medium speed wash action and high-speed final spin. The preset cycle wash time is 16 minutes.

LAUNDRY TIPS

Preparing clothes for washing

Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.

• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
• Empty pockets and turn them inside out.
• Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.
• Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.
• Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.
• Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.
• Treat spots and stains.
• Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results.
• Sorting
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers (towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics, permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside out.
• Separate dark colors from light colors, and colorfast items from non-colorfast items.
• Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cotton, knits, delicate items).

WASHER CARE

Cleaning Your Washer

• Cleaning the exterior
• Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as detergent or bleach. Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking new.
• Cleaning the interior
• To clean your washer interior, add 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine bleach and 1 scoop or cap full of detergent into your dispenser, and run the washer through the NORMAL cycle using hot water. Repeat this process if necessary.
• NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as washer safe.

5. Unplug the washer or disconnect the power.

To use the washer again:

1. Flush water pipes and hoses.
2. Reconnect water inlet hoses.
3. Turn on both water faucets.
4. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
5. Run the washer through the Normal cycle with 1 scoop or cap full of detergent to clean out the antifreeze.

To transport the washer:

1. Shut off both water faucets.
2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
