3. Preliminary Spinning
Before rinsing, be sure to perform preliminary spinning to remove as much soapy water as possible.
Thus, you can reduce the time for rinsing.
① Open the spin dryer lid and inner lid.
②Put the clothes into the spin dryer basket evenly, and apply the inner cover horizontally by putting it under the bottom of the balancer.
*The inner cover holds down the clothes while they are spun for drying.
Bottom of balancer

* Evenly loaded clothes reduces vibration and out of balance spinning.
③Close the inner lid and spin dryer lid.
④ Set the spin timer at two or three minutes, and perform spinning.

See 5. Spinning on page 8. For suggested spinning times.
4. Rinsing
You can perform either "pool rinse" or "overflow rinse"
● The former is recommended to save water.
- The latter rinses clothes completely.
① Put clothes into the washing tub.
② Set the wash mode/drain to "NORMAL", "SOFT".
③ Set the water level.

Pool Rinse

4Fill with water to the selected water level.
- Close the water tap when water level reaches the desired amount.
5 Set the timer at two or three minutes.
6 Put the clothes into the spin dryer basket, and perform spin for one minute.
7 About one minute after spinning, set the wash mode/ drain to DRAIN, and drain water.
* This is done for easy draining at the spin dryer side.
8 If rinsing is incomplete, repeat steps 4 through to 7 once or twice.
Overflow Rinse

4 When the water level has reached the applicable setting, reduce the amount of water and continue to supply water so that it will gently overflow to the outlet.
The water level during overflow rinse 'becomes higher than the water level limit inside the washing tub.
*The reason is that the overflow outlet is higher than the water level limit.

Excess water indicator outlet
⑤Set the washing time for 3 to 5 minutes, and perform rinsing.
Set it at 7 minutes if you did not perform preliminary spin-rinsing.
- If rinsing is incomplete, extend the rinsing time. When rinsing is complete, close the water tap.
Hints for Rinsing
- It saves water to wash clothes in the same water that was used for rinsing.
- If the difference between the ambient temperature and water temperature is too great, as in summer, the floor may get wet due to condensation on the outer surface of the washing tub. See "Installation" on page 13.
Washing Procedure
5. Spinning
Put the clothes into the spin dryer basket, and perform spinning referring to the table below.
(Perform steps 1 through to 3 for "Preliminary Spinning".)

- If an abnormal noise is heard during spinning, stop spinning, and uniformly spread clothes inside the tub.
- For easy draining, drain water from the washing tub after spinning.
- If any article falls out of the spin dryer basket, be sure to pick it out before operating the spin dryer basket.
- If the spin dryer does not stop within fifteen seconds after you open the lid, the brake is out of order. Stop using the machine, and ask for repairs immediately.

Instruction for Soap Flakes
■ Dissolving soap flakes in the washing tub
Add water to such a level that the drain filter is submerged. Put washing soap flakes into the washing tub while agitating water. Then operate the machine for about two minutes.
If soap flakes will not dissolve easily:
1 Get about five liters of lukewarm water heated to about 30 degrees Celsius, and put it into a vessel.
2 While agitating the water, put washing soap flakes into the vessel little by little.
* Dissolve soap flakes completely so that there remains no hardened flakes or grain. Put the liquid into the washing tub.
- Rinse the clothes carefully because soap flakes is more likely to remain on the clothes than synthetic detergent. If clothes are not rinsed completely, they will turn yellow or smell of soap.
