2. If heating function is selected, for water levels "1"or "2", it begins to heat
after water reaches the setlevel, and beginsto wash whenthe set temperature
is reached; for water levels "3"-"6", it begins to heat upon water reaching level
"2", it continues water supply and gently agitates while heating to the set
temperature, then it begins normal washing; for water levels above "6", the
cycle is: after water reaching level "2", it begins to heat, meanwhile water
supply continues until level "6", water supply stops and it continues heating to
the set temperature, then it begins to wash while water supply is resuming,
(the hot water temperature then is good for detergent active enzyme function
and for the clothes to be in an optimum detergent concentration with a good
washing effect. The subsequent washing while water supply can facilitate dirt
flushing and removing), water supply stops when reaching the set level, then it
continues to wash normally. For high water levels, only the water amount
below level "6"can be heated to the set temperature, then it washes and
supplements water to the set level
