1. Leveling the washing machine properly prevents excessive noise and vibration. Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface, preferably in a corner of the room.

2. If the floor is uneven, adjust the leveling feet as required. (do not insert pieces of wood etc. under the feet) Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting on the floor and then check that the appliance is perfectly level. (use a spirit level)

\* 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

Detergent for main wash (⊥⊥/) Fabric softener (⊥⊥/) Detergent for pre wash (⊥⊥/)

• Main wash only U
  • Pre Wash + Main Wash U 📊. 📊

2. Adding Fabric Softener

graph LR
    A["(\ flowers)"] --> B["→"]
    B --> C["MAX Bag with Cross Symbol"]

• 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 oversudsing.

\* 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.

■ The washing drum

• If you live in a hard water area, limescale continuously builds up in places where it cannot be seen and it is not easily removed.
  Over time the build up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check these will eventually have to be replaced.
• Although the washing drum is made of Stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused by small metal articles (paper clips, safety pins) which have been left in the drum.
  • The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time.
• If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for washing machine use.
  * Descaler could contain components that can attack part of your washing machine.
  * Remove the spots with a stainless steel cleaning agent.
  * Never use steel wool.
