Water and Electrical Requirements

Electrical

::OV_ GOl ::(iAmp fuse or circuit breaker

We recommend a d¢_dicalod circuit meant only for the wash¢_ d_yc¢.

The wash dryf' is equipped with a power cord and al_¢'¢'pcn(_ NIHAS201P p[u<_

He_e _se a'_ Extem_sion co,do

An electrical ground is required on this appliance. This unit is equipped with a four prong

grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.

Warning

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check

with a qualified electrician or servicer if you are in doubt on grounding the appliance. Do not modify the

plug provided with this appliance. Have aqualified electrician install the plug into the wall receptacle if the

plug does not fit the outlet. To prevent risk or fire, electric shock or personal injury all wiring and ground-

ing must be done in accordance with National Electrical Code, local codes and ordinances. The owner of

the appliance is responsible fo povifi_; adequate electrical service for this appliance.

Water

Water pressure of 30 to 120 p.s.i, is required to correctly fill the w_:;h_ d y_r. Pressure of less than 30

p.s.i, may cause a failure in the water valve or extended fill time. The inlet valve system may not shut off

correctly. To avoid the possibility of water damage should a hose leak, always have faucets accessible.

Turn off faucet when waste dye is not in use.

Drain Facility

We recommend the height of the standpipe to be not higher than 2.63ft and not lower than 1.64 ft.

Make sure the drain facility is capable of accepting the d_in ho_u_in a secure manner.

Flooring

For best performance the unit must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wooden floors need

reinforcement to minimize machine vibration. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in

vibration and may cause the wash_ dw to move slightly during the spin and dry cycles. Never install

the wash ;_dye on a raised platform or on any weak structure. Proper flooring is the responsibility

of the owner.

Location

We recommend the w_,sh_, _o/b_, _:,lallf, d in areas where water may freeze or boil.

How to choose and use

the right detergent

First, use only detergent specifically made for use

in front load Washers. Other types will cause

over sudsing,

Second, use only low sudsing powder or liquid

detergent. Performance of this machine will be

adw:_rso!yc!b_,dcd if high suds detergents are used.

Third, check your water hardness. If your water is

hard (7 9r<__s or more) your detergent has to

work harder.

Your water department can tell you how hard

your water is. So can your county extension agent

or your area's water softener company. Just call and

ask them how many claim of ha dness are in

your water.

Now much dete_DeHt do you us_? That

depends. Is your water hard or soft? With hard

water you need extra detergent to get your clothes

clean. With soft water you need less detergent.

d te_ge_t usage

Keep your detergent fresh, Under the sink

isn't a good place to store detergent. Too

much moisture will cause the powder to cake,

If your powder detergent gets older or lumpy

throw it away. It won't wash well. Old detergent

often won't dissolve. If you use a liquid detergent

these precautions are not necessary because liquid

detergents don't lump asthey age or come incontact

with water.

You will find four compartments in your Washer

Dryer dispenser. Pre-wash, Wash, Softener, Bleach.

Font load nachines need nucl Iless

dete gen_han op !oad £ashnq nac ines

Follow detergent manufacturer instructions

for front load machines. Detergent is flushed

automatically into the drum from the detergent dis-

penser. Over sudsing will cause your unit to

malfunction. Suds may rise through detergent dis-

penser and may spill on your floor, so, be very care-

ful in choosing the detergent quantity based on

laundry load, fabric type and soil/stain conditions.

Always choose a low sud detergent for

this machine.

Bleach Recommendation

Always dilute bleach before using.

Excessive/ Frequent use of bleach can damage

clothes.

Bleaching Whitens clothes, removes problem

stains, deodorizes & sanitizes.

Use discretely and always follow bleach

manufacturer instructions.

Do not add bleach while rinsing. Pour bleach in

detergent dispenser 3.

Do not overfill bleach. This can damage clothes.

Fabric Softener Recommendation

All fabrics benefit by the use of softeners. We

recommend use of softener to rnd_cc the dining

effect in synthetics and make laundry feel soft.

Pou_ the soften€ r in detergent dispenser 4.

Do not overfill. Excessive use of softener may

affect wash results. Always follow softener

manufacturer instructions.

Be careful in selecting the right descaler, After cleaning rcr_ a cycle with plain water to remove

any residual agents before inserting laundry.

Wateir' Ii_'_[et hose

Replace hose after five years of use to reduce risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and

replace if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found. Mark the date of replacement on the

hose by a permanent marker.

Lint Filter

/_x To avoid water spills during removal of lint filter, place a howl or tray

under filter assembly,

The Lin_ filter is located at the bottom right corner. Always run the unit on spin mode before removing the

lint filter to drain away residual water. Place a bowl or tray under the lint filter area to catch any residual

water. We recommend this strongly to avoid water spills on your floor, Open bottom panel,

unscrew and remove the lint filter. Run water on the filter to clean away detergent or softener residue.

Rinse with hot water, dry using a clean towel and reinsert the filter back. Turn it clock wise and lock it in

position. We recommend cleaning after every 25 full loads. Itis not necessary to clean the

!i_t fil/e after every load.

Detergent Drawer

Pull the detergent drawer out. Wash all compartments under running water. Clean the recess with an old

toothbrush. Hake sure all detergent accumulations are removed. Use a jet of running hot water to flush

out residues. Replace the drawer and run a rinse cycle without laundry.
