• Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed bres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.

• Color: Separate whites from colors.

• Size: Mixing different sized items together in the drum improves the washing performance.

• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately for pure, new woollen items, curtains, and silk items. Check the labels on the items. NOTE Make sure to check the care label on all clothing, and sort clothing accordingly before starting the wash. STEP 2 Empty pockets Empty all the pockets of your laundry items

• Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as well as the drum. Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out

• If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum may be damaged. Zippers should be closed and xed with a string.

• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the strings before starting the wash. STEP 3 Use a laundry net

• Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.

• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become caught around the door. Place them inside a ne laundry net.

• Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that could move the washer and result in injury. WF45K6500AV_DC68-03665A-03_EN.indd 28 2018/8/13 15:06:23Before you start English 29 STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary) Select the Prewash option for the selected cycle if the laundry is heavily soiled. Do not use the Prewash option if you will be adding detergent manually to the drum. STEP 5 Determine the load capacity Do not overload the washer. Overloading may cause the washer to wash improperly. NOTE When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efciency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum spin level is “Low or Medium Spin”, and the load capacity is

CAUTION If the laundry is unbalanced and the “Ub” information code is displayed, redistribute the load. Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance. STEP 6 Add the correct detergent type The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), color, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” HE laundry detergent which is designed for automatic washers. 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 solidied. This detergent may remain after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet. CAUTION When washing wool using the WOOL, use only a neutral liquid detergent. If used with WOOL, powder detergent may remain on the laundry and discolor the laundry. Use HE detergent only Your washer is designed to use high efciency (HE) detergents.

• For the best cleaning results, use a high efciency detergent such as Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High efciency detergents contain suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the load tumbles more efciently and cleaning is maximized. (* Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.) WARNING Regular detergent is not recommended. Use HE detergents only. WF45K6500AV_DC68-03665A-03_EN.indd 29 2018/8/13 15:06:23Before you start Before you start English30 Detergent drawer guidelines The washer provides a four-compartment dispenser: the front-left compartment for the main wash, the rear-left for pre-wash, the front-right for fabric softeners, and the rear- right for the liquid chlorine bleach.

4. If you want to prewash, add prewash

detergent to the prewash compartment as instructed or recommended by the manufacturer. NOTE If you use a high efciency (HE detergent, apply 1/3 of the recommended amount to the prewash compartment and 2/3 of the recommended amount to the main- wash compartment.

5. Close the detergent drawer.

WF45K6500AV_DC68-03665A-03_EN.indd 31 2018/8/13 15:06:23Before you start Before you start English32 To use powdered detergent First, remove the provided liquid detergent container from the main- wash compartment. Then, add powdered detergent to the main- wash compartment according to the detergent manufacturer’s instructions. CAUTION Do not add powdered detergent to the liquid detergent container. To use the bleach compartment Add only liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. Do not exceed the max line. CAUTION Do not add undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly to the load or to the drum. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the bers or color loss if not use properly. To use oxigen boosters or color-safe bleach Oxygen boosters or color-safe bleach can increase washing performance.Make sure to add the oxygen booster or color-safe bleach after putting the laundry into the drum. NOTE To use both powder detergent and powder oxygen booster or powder color-safe bleach, it is more effective to put them together into the drum before loading the laundry.
