Sorting the laundry
nSort laundry according to the type of fabric and care label symbols (cottons, blended fabrics, synthetics,
wool, hand washable items, etc.).
nDo not wash extremely small loads, such as only a pair of jeans.
The clothes may become off balance and cause abnormal vibration during the spin cycle.
nSeparate colored and white items.
Risk of injury!
Do not wash the following items, through which water does not fl ow easily, because doing so creates
abnormal vibration during the spin cycle and could cause injury or malfunction.
– Waterproof items, such as a wet suit, ski suit, shower curtain, etc.
– Items with non-slip rubber backing, such as door mats.
– Cushions, pillows, shoes, etc.
Detergents and additives
nUse an appropriate amount of detergent according to the Detergent indicator on the washing machine.
The type and amount of detergent depend on the type of fabric, volume, load size, degree of soiling,
and hardness of the water used.
Use less detergent if:
– The load is small.
– The laundry is not very dirty.
nToo much detergent can result in excess foam, which reduces rinse effi ciency or may cause a water
leak.
nDepending on the detergent brand, detergent may not dissolve completely in the detergent tray if the
water pressure is low or the water is too cold.
Page 28: Care and Maintenance
nWhen using softeners or bleaches, follow the instructions on the package.
nDetergent remained in drain route may be caused by quality of water or type of detergent. In case of
repeatedly using under this condition, it may cause washer trouble.
* In case of unstable water pressure while washing machine working, it may cause the water remaining in
Detergent and Softener box.
Before You Start Washing
Preparation of the laundry
