dirtiness. Otherwise, excessive bubbles may be generated and overflow out of the
drawer and accidents may take place.!
Alkali bleaches can damage clothes, so it is suggested to use as little as possible.!
Powder detergents can easily leave residues in the clothes that may generate a bad
smell, so they must be sufficiently rinsed.!
Detergent may not get dissolved completely if there is too much detergent or water
temperature is rather low. It can remain in clothes, pipes and washing machines which
may ruin the clothes.!
Washing must follow the weight of clothes, degree of dirtiness (how soiled they are),
local water hardness as well as the recommendations from the detergent manufacturers.
Please consult the water company if you are not sure of water hardness.!

Clothing recommendations
The clothes which easily get fuzz should be washed separately; otherwise other articles
can be contaminated. Preferably black and cotton clothes should be washed separately
because they can easily become covered with fibers of other colors when being washed
together.!
Please check before washing.!
The washing machine must not wash water-proof materials (ski suits, outer
diaper pads, curtains).
Fiber products that water can not get soaked easily into such as water-proof cushions,
clothes, and other such materials, should not be washed. Otherwise there will be water
bursting out or abnormal vibration which may cause danger while rinsing and draining so
that the clothes also may be damaged. (outer diaper pads, raincoats, umbrella, ski suits,
car covers, sleeping sacks etc.)!
Cautions during Draining
Draining of normal clothes:!
Wash water is drained through drain hole.!
Draining of water-proof clothes and fiber products:!
In normal washing and draining status, moistures of water-proof clothes and fiber
products can not be drained while water is gathered in one direction so that the
eccentricity of washing machine is too great and vibration or moving is caused.!
