2-1. FEATURES
Anti Crease function
With the alternate rotation of the drum, creasing in the laundry is
minimized.
More economical by Fuzzy Logic System
FUZZY Logic System detects the amount of load and water
temperature, and then determines the optimum water level and
washing time to minimize energy and water consumption.
Child-Lock
The Child-Lock system has been developed to prevent children
from pressing any button (except Power button) to change the
programme during operation.
Low noise speed control system
By sensing the amount of load and balance, this system
automatically distributes load evenly to minimize the spinning
noise level.
Direct Drive System
The advanced Brushless DC motor rotates the drum directly
without a belt and a pulley.
Built-in heater
Internal heater automatically heats the water to the best
temperature on selected cycles.

2-2. DETERMINE WASHING TIME BY FUZZY LOGIC
To get the best washing performance optimal time is determined by sensing of water temperature,
selected washing temperature and laundry amount.
2-3. WATER LEVEL CONTROL
This model uses a pressure sensor to determine the water level in the tub.
When the preset water level reached, water supply is stopped and the program proceeds.
Water needs to be below a preset level before spining will proceed.

4. INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
The appliance should be installed as follows.
Check the conditions of installation area.
1. Check level ground.
On raised foundations or upper level homes, the vibrations can be caused by the type of flooring.
It may be necessary to move the machine to a different area in the home or have the floor
reinforced to properly support the operation of the unit.
2. Check humidity or any foreign objects under the feet.
Clean the floor, and there should not be any foreign objects under the feet.
If the unit has foreign objects underneath the feet, this will prevent the unit from being leveled properly
and will cause vibrations and slipping.
Remove any foreign objects, if any from underneath the machine and level unit properly.
See below for examples of foreign objects.
1
Open the box and check appliance condition.

Use spanner to remove transit bolts.
3
Confirm the distance between the appliance and the wall.

More than 2cm If the distance is less than 2cm,
the water supply hose will
kink or fold.
1. Normal Tap without thread & screw type inlet hose.
1. Unscrew the fixing screw to
attach the tap.
2. Push the connector up till the
rubber packing is in tight contact
with the tap. Then tighten the 4
screws.
3. Push the water supply hose
vertically upwards so that the
rubber packing within in the hose
can adhere completely to the tap
and then tighten it by screwing it
to the right.
1. Untighten the upper connector
screw.
2. Push the upper connector up
till the rubber packing is in
tight contact with the tap. Then
tighten the 4 screws.
3. Connect the water supply hose
to the middle connector, pushing
the plate down.
•In case the diameter of the tap
is large remove the guide plate. •Turn the middle connector not to
have water leaked.
•Make sure that the rubber seal is
inside the hose connector.
•To separate the water supply
hose from the middle connector
shut off the tap.
Then pull the inlet hose down,
pushing the plate down.
•Make sure that there are no
kinks in the hose and that it is
not crushed.

Connect Drain Hose.
6
Connect power plug.

If the drain hose is not installed properly, the unit will not drain properly.
This allows water to back flow into the unit which can cause odors.
Refer to Owner Manual for proper drain hose installation.
The odor could also be coming from the home’s drain to which the drain hose is attached.
In this type of drain hose installation, the odor could be coming from the standpipe.
This odor can come up the drain hose and into the unit.
Pour a cup or two of bleach or vinegar down the home drain
and let it sit for 24 hours before running another cycle.
This will help eliminate odor from the home drain.
If a cycle is started too soon after doing this, it will not help the issue.
Connect the power plug to the wall outlet. Avoid connecting several electric devices,
it may be the cause of a fire.

Check the horizontality with a level (Gage).

1 Step
If washing machine legs are loose or not screwed, then screw up with the spanner wrench.
Using the level, level the washing machine from front to back and side to side.
2 Step
Using the spanner wrench to adjust leg for horizontality and try for Diagonal test.
3 Step
Perform a Rinse and Spin with some clothing in the machine.
To do this, put 2~3kg of clothing in the unit, power on the unit, press the Rinse and Spin
button, and then start. When the unit reaches the spin cycle, watch for vibrations.
If the unit is vibrating, make small adjustments to the leg until they subside. (Try 2Step again)
4 Step
Tighten the lock nut against the base of the machine to lock the position leg.
Lower the foot until there is no gap between floor and foot.
And only use adjustment rubber when difference at the leg adjustment is more than 10mm.
Place your right hand on the back, right corner and your left hand on the front,
left corner of the unit, then attempt to rock the unit from corner to corner.
Then, move your right hand to the front, right side and your left hand to the
back, left corner and attempt to rock the unit from corner to corner.
If the unit is level, it will not rock. However, if the unit is not level, it will rock.
If the unit rocks, it will be necessary to adjust the leveling feet of the unit.
Adjust the foot under the hand that is on the front of the machine.
