To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, use a 120 Volt, 60Hz, 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker. It is recommended an individual branch circuit that serves only your MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW washer.

Never use an extension cord with the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW.

Electrical grounding is required. The washer is equipped with a power cord with a three-pronged grounding plug for use in a correctly installed and grounded outlet. The outlet must be correctly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

To fill the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW washer in the correct amount of time, the water pressure needs to be between 14 and 116 psi (100 to 800 kPa).

To avoid the possibility of water damage with the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW:

Make sure that the water faucets are easily accessible.

Turn off the faucets when you are not using your washer.

Periodically check to make sure that water is not leaking from the water hose fittings.

The recommended height for the drain standpipe for the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW is 48 in. (122 cm). The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose.

The tools you will need to install the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW washer are Pliers, a Level, and an Adjustable wrench that opens to 1″ (25 mm).

To connect the water hoses for the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW:

1. Make sure that there are rubber washers inside the fittings at both ends of each new water hose. Remove the rubber washers in faucet side and replace with filters. Installing the water supply hoses without rubber washers can cause water leakage.

2. Tighten the hose and faucet fittings by hand until they are snug, then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with pliers or a wrench. Pull the water supply hoses downwards to make sure that they are connected securely.

3. Place the unconnected ends of the hoses into a bucket and turn on the faucets connected to the water supply hoses for 10 or 15 seconds to remove any foreign substances. Turn off the faucets.

4. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply intake connections at the top of the washer. Make sure that the rubber washers are in place. The water supply hose connected to the hot faucet must be connected to the hot water supply intake and the water hose connected to the cold faucet must be connected to the cold water supply intake.

5. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with a pliers.

6. Turn on the hot and cold water supplies and check all the water supply intake connections and the faucets for water leaks.

If you do not want to use the hot water supply hose on the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW, insert a water intake cap into the hot water supply intake hole. In this case you must select the Tap Cold option for the water temperature. Note: No intake cap is provided with your washer. It must be purchased separately.

When connecting the drain hose for the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW over the edge of a wash basin, secure the guide to the side of the basin wall with a hook, tape it or tie it with a piece of cord to prevent the drain hose from moving. Make sure that the connection is not airtight.

When connecting the drain hose of the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW to a standpipe, the standpipe must be no shorter than 39 in. (99 cm) and no longer than 96 in. (244 cm). Make sure that the connection is not airtight.

When connecting the drain hose of the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW to a laundry tub, the laundry tub must be no shorter than 39-in. (99 cm) and no higher than 96-in (244 cm) maximum. Make sure that the connection is not airtight.

To determine if the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW washer is level:

1. Slide the washer into position.

2. Open the lid of the washer, then pour water into the tub to the leveling circle. If the washer is level, the water will touch the leveling circle all the way around. If the washer is not level, the water will only touch part of the leveling circle.

3. If your washer is not level, carefully tilt your washer just enough to adjust the leveling feet on the bottom front of your washer. Extend the feet only as much as is necessary. If the feet are extended too much, your washer may vibrate.

Plug the power cord of the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW washer into a well-grounded, 3-prong, 120 Volt 60 Hz approved electrical outlet, protected by a 15-amp fuse or comparable circuit breaker. The washer is grounded through the third prong of the power cord.

The MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents for the best cleaning results. It is recommended not to use a regular detergent, as HE detergents contain suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the load tumbles more efficiently and cleaning is maximized. Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the quality of cleaning.

Before loading laundry for the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW washer, make sure to remove coins, keys, and other hard objects and close zippers, as these items may damage clothes and the washer.

Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color, and load size.

Fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes. Load the tub no more than 3/4 full.

Overloading may reduce washing efficiency, cause excess wear, and possibly cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.

Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery and other lingerie on the Delicates cycle with similar lightweight items.

When washing big, bulky items or a few smaller items that do not fill the tub completely, add a few towels to improve spin performance.

When washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload the washer to ensure good cleaning results.

To load liquid or powder detergent in the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW washer:

Load liquid or powder detergent in the compartment indicated.

Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the compartment before starting your washer.

If you are using color-safe bleach, add it with the detergent to the detergent compartment.

If adding color-safe bleach with detergent, both laundry products should be in the same form (liquid).

To load PODs in the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW washer:

First load PODs directly the bottom of an empty basket.

Then add clothes on top of the PODs.

Loading PODs at the bottom of the basket will improve wash performance and will enable detergent to dissolve more easily in the wash.

To load liquid chlorine bleach into the bleach compartment of the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW washer:

Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. Do not over-fill the compartment.

There is no water inlet to the bleach dispenser, so the bleach will directly load into the tub when you pour it in.

Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment.

Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the tub. Doing so can damage fabrics, by weakening of the fibers or stripping the color.

Do not pour color-safe bleach into the bleach compartment. Instead, add it to the detergent compartment.

To load liquid fabric softener into the MIDEA MLTW45M1AWW washer:

Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the softener compartment.

The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the correct time during the rinse cycle.

Use the softener compartment ONLY for liquid fabric softeners.

Do not use the Downy Ball in the fabric softener compartment.

Do not use liquid fabric softener that is too expired as it may not mix with the water sufficiently.

Be sure to select the Fabric Softener option when using fabric softener so that it is released in the rinse portion of the cycle.
