important Safety Information

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

⚠ WARNING! For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

WATER HEATER SAFETY

Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances.

If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

PROPER INSTALLATION

■ Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to the
■ Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances.

■ The base opening must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor.
■ The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

YOUR LAUNDRY AREA

reparation Before Washing

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. Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle, water temperature and spin speed.

SORTING

To get the best results, different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.

- SOIL (Heavy, Normal, Light) - COLOR (Whites, Lights, Darks) - LINT (Lint producers, Collectors)

Separate clothes according to the type and amount of Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics. Separate lint producers and lint collectors.

Lint Producers Lint Collectors

Terry cloth, Chenille, Towel, diaper Synthetics, Corduroy, Permanent Press, Socks

CHECK BEFORE LOADING

- Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Things such as nails, hairclips, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.

- Fasten zippers, hook and strings to make sure that these items don't snag on other clothes.

- Mend any torn garments or loose buttons. Tears or holes may become larger during washing.

- Remove any loose brassiere wires as they can damage your washer and clothes.

- Pretreat any dirt and stains.

• Make sure the clothes are washable in water.

- Check the washing instructions on your clothes.

LOADING

Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).

Load Size

The water level should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly. Loosely load clothes no higher than the

ater Level Temperature

WATER LEVEL

• This machine detects the quantity of laundry automatically, then sets the water level and proper amount of detergent.
• When you select a wash program, the water level and amount of detergent (to be used) will be shown on the control panel.
• When the water level is automatically detected, it may differ depending on the quantity of laundry even though the same water level is indicated on the control panel.

Note

• When a Wash, Wash/Rinse or Rinse only option is selected, after the wash is completed the water will not be drained off.
• If you wish to drain the water, press the SPIN button and wait until the water in the tub has drained completely. Then press the START/PAUSE button.
• If you do not specify the water level, then Medium will be automatically selected.
• If Rinse only is selected, the process will start from Water Supply.
  • The washing machine may occasionally add water while pulsator is rotating. This is to maintain the water level due to the release of air trapped in the garments.

WATER TEMPERATURE

- You can change the water temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP button. (Option depending on model).

The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and therefore, the cleaning results. We recommend temperatures of:

HOT 50\~60°C(120\~140°F)

White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.

WARM 30\~40°C(85\~105°F)

Most items.

COLD * 18\~24°C(65\~75°F)

se of Detergent

CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT

- We recommend the use of domestic detergent, (powder, liquid or concentrated), Soap flakes or granulated soap powders should not be used in your washing machine. When washing woolens remember to use a detergent suitable for washing woolens.

AMOUNT OF DETERGENT

Follow the detergent package directions. Using too little detergent is a common cause of laundry problems. Use more detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils or lower water temperature.

The correct amount of detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes (Jeans and work clothes may need more detergent, while bath towels usually need less).

For liquid and concentrated detergents, follow the recommendations of the detergent manufacturer.

Note

To check you are using the correct amount of detergent, lift the lid of your machine about half-way through the wash. There should be a thin layer of foam over the surface of the water. Lots of foam may look good, but it does not contribute to cleaning your clothes. No foam means not enough detergent has been used; soil and lint can settle back on the clothes or the washing machine.

Attention

If excessive detergent is used, the rinse will not be as clean and efficient. Also, it could cause environmental pollution, so use it accordingly.

ADDING THE DETERGENT

- Some detergents MUST be fully dissolved before adding to your machine to get the best wash

Use of Softener and Bleach

Using Softener

AVAILABLE FABRIC SOFTENER TYPE

• Do not use concentrated fabric softener. This may cause some problems in automatic dispensing.
• For more details refer to the softener products instructions for use.

DEPOSITING FABRIC SOFTENER

• Don't use softener with detergent. Use softener in last rinse water
• When using dispenser, dilute softener(30ml) with fresh water(30ml)
• When filling dispenser, do not splash or overfill. It may stain clothes.
• Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them
• If spotting occurs, wet and hand rub dishwashing liquid (or mild bar soap) and rewash.

- If the softener is over filled, it can overflow

Note

Fabric Softener will be dispensed automatically during the final rinse.

Using Bleach Check fabric care labels for special instructions.

AVAILABLE BLEACH TYPE

• Use oxygenated bleach.
• Do not use liquid bleach.
• For more details refer to the products instruction for use.

Detergent on clothes	Detergent not dissolving	Use warmer water temperature.Try pre-dissolving the detergent in warm waterTry a liquid detergent.
Black spots on clothes	Incorrect use of fabric softener	When filling dispenser, do not splash or overfill.Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes.Pre-treat stain and rewash.
	Dye transfer	Sort whites or lightly colored items from dark colors.- Wash and dry non-colorfast clothes separately
	Not enough detergent used	Using insufficient detergent for the amount of soil on the clothes, can result in black marks on clothes
	A buildup caused by the interaction of fabric softener and detergent can flake off and marks clothes.	Cleaning the inside of your washing machine
Fabric damage (Snaps, holes)	Pins, snaps, hooks, sharp buttons, belt	Fasten snaps, hooks, buttons, and zippers.Remove any loose brassiere wires.

roubleshooting

WASH PROBLEM

Problem	Possible Causes	What To Do
The laundry comes out dirty	Water temperature is too cold.	• Use warmer water temperature
	Water temperature is not correct	• Select the wash temperature according to soil type, • For example, blood and mud are better washed in cold water, while oily soils wash better in warmer water.
	Stain is not pre-treated	• Brush a little detergent dissolved in water onto stains like cellars and cuffs to help shift dirt. • Wash stains as soon as possible. The longer they are left the harder they are to remove.
	Washer is overloaded	• Wash smaller loods at a time.
	Incorrect sorting	• White clothes are better washed separately. Separate light and heavily soiled items, as clothes can pick up soil from dirty wash water. • Loads made up of articles of varying sizes will wash better (e.g, full loads of sheets may not wash that well).
	Insufficient detergent	• Not enough detergent for load size or amount of soil. Hard water requires more detergent than soft water.
Pilling	Result of normal wear on poly-cotton blends and fuzzy fabrics	• While this is not caused by the washer, you can slow the pilling process by washing garments inside out.
