Before you start

Laundry guidelines

Checkpoints

• Check for stains or dirt. Apply a little detergent to a white towel. Rub the white towel and the dirty clothes together to transfer the dirt or colour to the white towel.
• Before washing, pre-treat the sleeves, collars, dress hems, and pockets by brushing with detergent.
• Wrinkle-processed clothes made of wool must be specially treated by tightening them with threads before washing. Remove the threads after washing and drying is complete.

CAUTION

• Do not place or keep blankets in the tub.
• Do not put candles or a heat source in or on the washing machine.

• Do not wash these clothes:

• Neckties, brassieres, jackets, suits, and coats can be easily deformed by shrinking or discolouring on the surface. These clothes are mostly made of rayon, polynosic, cuff, and/or blended fabric.

• Wrinkle-processed, embossed, or resin processed clothes easily deform merely by soaking in water.
• Clothes that are easily discoloured made from cotton, wool, wrinkled silk, leather wear and accessories, and leather ornamented clothes and accessories.
• Waterproof sheets, mattresses, or wool quilts, rain covers, fishing jackets and trousers, skiwear, sleeping bags, diaper covers, sweat suits, vehicle covers for automobiles, bicycles, and motorcycles, bath rugs, and other waterproof items.

STEP 1 Sort

Sort the laundry according to these criteria:

• Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.
• Colour: Separate whites from colours.
- Size: Mixing different-sized items together in the tub improves the washing performance.
- Sensitivity: Follow the cloth-specific instructions on the care label of delicate items such as pure, new woollen items, curtains, and silk items.

NOTE

Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before starting the wash.

STEP 2 Empty pockets

Empty all the pockets of your laundry items, and remove dirt and/or soils from them.

• Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as well as the tub.
• Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out.
• If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the tub may be damaged.
• Zippers should be closed and fixed with a string.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the strings before washing.

STEP 3 Use a laundry net or wash certain items separately

• Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.
• Cashmilon, large volume garments, and lightweight clothes (lace-decorated clothes, lingerie, nylon stocking, and synthetic fabrics) may float on water during washing and cause problems to the machine. Use the laundry net or wash them separately.
• Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that could move the washing machine and result in injury.

Before you start

CAUTION

Make sure to soak inflatable items (such as blankets, and cotton-filled or microfibre quillets) in water before you run a cycle.

• Inflatable items may cause damage to the laundry or the machine during the wash or drying process.
• Regardless of the size, blankets or quilts are safer and cleaner to wash one item at a time. Two different-sized blankets in the same load may compromise the drying performance due to unbalanced loads.

To input a blanket

Fold the blanket as shown, and then put it on the plastic area (A) of the tub before inserting into the tub.

    D --> E["Final Product"]
    E --> F["Packaging & Disposal"]
    F --> G["No Packaging, No Treatment, No Waste, No Cover, No Waste & Storage"]

STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)

• To remove stains and dirt on collars, sleeves, hems, and pockets, apply detergent lightly and brush off.
• Use powder or liquid detergents. Do not use soap, as this may remain on the tub after washing.
• Prewash white socks, sleeves, and collars with a little detergent and a brush.

CAUTION

Make sure the laundry is inserted completely.

• Any exposed part of the laundry may cause damage to the machine or the laundry itself, or a water leak.
  • Make sure the laundry does not exceed the plastic area (A) in the above figure.

STEP 5 Determine the load capacity

Make sure the laundry does not exceed the plastic area (A) in the figure on page 24.

Otherwise, it may cause the washing machine to not wash properly or cause damage to the machine or the laundry itself, or a water leak.

NOTE

When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efficiency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended load capacity is 3.5kg or less.

CAUTION

If the laundry is unbalanced and the "Ub" information code is displayed, redistribute the load. Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance and cause damage to the machine or the laundry itself.

STEP 6 Apply a proper detergent type

The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry detergent, which is designed for automatic washing machines.

CAUTION

• Use an appropriate amount of detergent. Excess amounts of detergent do not produce much improvement in washing results but cause damage to the laundry due to deteriorated rinsing performance.
• Bleach is strong alkali in nature, causing damage to or discolouration of the laundry.
• Use a longer or added rinse cycle when using powder detergent that is very likely to remain on the laundry and cause bad odours after washing is complete.
• If an excessive amount of detergent is used especially in cold water, the detergent doesn't dissolve well, ending up with contaminated laundry, hoses, and/or tub.
• In case of timed washing, do not apply detergent directly to laundry or the tub. The laundry may be discoloured. Use the detergent drawer.
• When washing wool using the Wool cycle, use only a neutral detergent to avoid discolouring the laundry.

NOTE

• Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations based on the weight of the laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you are not sure about the water hardness, contact a local water authority.
• Do not use detergent that tends to be hardened or solidified. This detergent may remain after the rinse process, blocking the drain outlet.

• You can ignore this reminder and continue to run cycles normally because this is not a system failure. However, the reminder remains active for 6 consecutive cycles immediately after each cycle is complete.
• The reminder is activated once every 1-3 months, depending on the cycle count.
  • To keep the tub clean, it is recommended to run Eco Tub Clean on a regular basis.

Does not start.	Make sure the lid is closed.Make sure the water taps are open.Make sure to press START/PAUSE to start the washing machine.Make sure Child Lock is not activated.Before the washing machine starts to fill, it will make a series of clicking noises to check if the lid is locked, and does a quick drain.Was the lid opened during the spinning cycle? Close the lid, and press START/PAUSE to resume.The machine enters Standby or is in a soaking cycle. Please wait.Check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Water is not supplied.	Make sure you press START/PAUSE after selecting the water supply.Make sure the water taps are open.Is the filter net at the water supply hose connector clogged? Clean the filter net by brushing with a toothbrush.Is the water supply cut off? If the water supply is cut off, close the tap and power off.Straighten the water supply hoses.Open and close the lid, then press START/PAUSE.If the water pressure is low, it takes longer to start washing.If the water level is not as high as necessary or lower than expected, use the level selector to adjust the water level.
After a cycle, detergent remains in the automatic dispenser.	Make sure the washing machine is running with sufficient water pressure.Make sure the detergent drawer is properly inserted.Remove and clean the detergent drawer, and then try again.

Troubleshooting

Problem Action
Vibrates excessively or makes noise.	Make sure the washing machine is set on a level floor. If the floor is not level, use the levelling feet to adjust the washing machine.Make sure the washing machine is not contacting any other object.Make sure the laundry load is balanced.Make sure the laundry is spread evenly in the washing machine. Spread out the laundry evenly and start again.Make sure the space around the washing machine is free of objects.Humming is produced normally during operation.Objects such as coins can cause noise. Remove these objects from the washing machine after washing is complete.
Stops.	Plug the power cord into a live electrical outlet.Check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.Close the lid, and press START/PAUSE to start the washing machine. For your safety, the washing machine will not spin unless the lid is closed.Before the washing machine starts to fill, it will make a series of clicking noises to check if the lid is locked, and does a quick drain.There may be a pause or soak period in the cycle. Wait briefly and the washing machine may start.Make sure the inlet hose screens at the taps are not clogged. Periodically clean the screens.This problem occurs temporarily due to low voltages, and will be solved when power recovers.
Fills with the wrong temperature water.	Fully open both water taps.Make sure the temperature selection is correct.Make sure the hoses are connected to the correct water taps.Flush water lines.Disconnect the hoses and clean the screens. The hose filter screens may be clogged.While the washing machine fills, the water temperature may change as the automatic temperature control feature checks incoming water temperature. This is normal.While the washing machine fills, you may notice just hot and/or just cold water going through the dispenser when cold or warm temperatures are selected.This is a normal function of the automatic temperature control feature as the washing machine determines the water temperature.
Does not drain and/or spin.	Check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.Make sure the electrical voltage is normal.Make sure the washing machine is plugged in.Make sure the drain hose is pointed downward. (Natural drain models only)Make sure the drain hose is not clogged.Make sure the drain hose is not kinked.Straighten the drain hose. If there is a drain restriction, call for service.Close the lid, and press START/PAUSE. For your safety, the washing machine will not spin unless the lid is closed.
Load is wet at the end of the cycle.	Use the High or Extra High spin speed. (Applicable model only)Use high efficiency (HE) detergent to reduce oversuding.Load is too small. Small loads (one or two items) may become unbalanced and not spin completely.

Troubleshooting

Problem Action
Leaks water.	Make sure all hose connections are tight.Make sure the water supply hose's rubber packing is in the correct position. Screw tightly again.Make sure the end of the drain hose is correctly inserted and secured to the drain system.Avoid overloading.Use high efficiency (HE) detergent to prevent oversudsing.Make sure the water supply hose is not kinked.If the water supply is too strong, water may leak. Close the water tap a little.Make sure water is not leaking from the water tap. If so, repair the water tap.
Excessive suds.	Use high efficiency (HE) detergent to prevent oversudsing.Reduce the detergent amount for soft water, small loads, or lightly soiled loads.Non-HE detergent is not recommended.
The spin basket or drain/supply hose is frozen.	Use warm water to disconnect the water supply hose and drain hose. Soak them in warm water.Fill the spin basket with warm water, and then wait for about 10 minutes.Put a hot towel on the drain hose connector.Reconnect the water supply hose and drain hose, and check if water is supplied properly.
Water drains out immediately.	Make sure the drain hose is not clogged, and is hung over the drain hose hook. Fill the spin basket halfway with water, and try spinning again.Lift the end of the drain hose to prevent water from draining. Fill the spin basket halfway with water, and then run spinning after releasing the drain hose.Make sure the drain hose is installed correctly. See the installation section of this user manual and adjust the position of the drain hose as instructed.
