▶ Don't strip or crossthread when connecting Inlet hose to the valve.
▶If the water supply pressure is more than 1000kPa, a decompression device should be installed.
- Two rubber seals are supplied with the water inlet hoses these are in order to prevent water leaks.
- Check water tightness of washing machine connections by turning the tap completely on.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary.
• Make sure that there is no kink on the hose and that it is not crushed.

* Diagonal Check When pushing down the edges of the washing machine top plate diagonally, the machine should not move up and down at all. (Please, check both of two directions) If machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the legs again.

■ Caring before washing

1. 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.

2. Sorting

To get the best results, Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle. Water temperature and spin speed and different fabrics need to be washed in different ways. Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing discoloration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled one.

Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light)

Color (White, Lights, Darks)

Lint (Lint producers, Collectors)

Separate clothes according to amount of soil.

Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.

Wash lint producers and lint collectors

separately.

3. Caring before loading

■ Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.

Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.

• Check all the pockets to make sure that they are empty. Things such as nails, hair clip, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.
• Close zippers, hook and strings to make sure that these items don't snag on other clothes.
• Pre treat dirt and stains by brushing a little detergent dissolved in water onto stains like collars and cuffs to help shift dirt.

■ Adding detergent and fabric softener

1. The Dispenser Drawer

• Main wash only U
  • Pre Wash + Main Wash U □□·□□

2. Adding Fabric Softener

Four grayscale icons representing simple objects: a flower, a plant, a droplet, and a cross (no text or symbols)

• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener which could stain clothes.
• Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent drawer for more than 2 days. (Fabric softener could harden)
• Softener will automatically be added during last rinse cycle.
• Do not open the drawer when water is supplied.
• Solvents(benzene, etc) are not allowable.

Do not pour fabric softener directly on the dothes

3. Detergent dosage

• The detergent should be used according to the instruction of the detergent manufacture.
• If too much detergent is used more than the recommended amount, too many suds can occur and this will decrease the washing result or cause heavy load to the motor. (Causing a malfunction)
• Use powder detergent only for the front loading washer.
• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. For best results, avoid oversuding.

\* Tips

Full load : according to manufacturer's recommendation. Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount. Minimum load : 1/2 of full load.

- Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle.
