1) Using Water
Water Temperature
• The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program .
You can override the preset selection by pressing the water temperature icon. Touch the arrow buttons up or
down until your desired temperature setting is displayed.
• The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and therefore, the cleaning results.
• We recommend temperatures of:
- HOT 120°F (120-140°F) White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.
- WARM 90°F (85-105°F) Most items
- COLD 66°F (65-75°F) Only very bright colors with light soil.
• When washing in COLD water additional steps may be needed:
- Adjust detergent amount and pre-dissolve detergent in WARM water
- Pretreat spots and stains
- Soak heavily soiled items
- Use appropriate bleach
* Temperature below 18°C (65°F) will not activate laundry additives and may cause lint, residue, poor cleaning, etc.
In addition, detergent manufactures and care labels define COLD water as 26~29°C (80-85°F).
If the temperature of the water in the tub is too cold for your hands, the detergent will not activate and clean
effectively.
Note
If iron is present in the water, the clothes may become an all-over yellow or they may be stained with brown or
orange spots or streaks. Iron is not always visible. Installation of water softener or an iron filter may be
necessary for severe cases.

Adding Detergent
Add measured detergent to the detergent compartment of the
dispenser drawer.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Detergent is flushed through the dispenser at the beginning of
the wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent can be
used, but the drawer insert must be removed to use powder.
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water
temperature, water hardness, size, and soil level of the load.
Avoid using too much detergent in your washer, as it can lead
to oversudsing and detergent residue being left on the clothes.
Adding Fabric Softener
Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric
softener into the left-hand compartment. Use only liquid fabric
softener.
Dilute with water to the maximum fill line.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener,
which could stain clothes.
NOTE: Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load.
It may stain the clothes.
Adding Wash Boost Additives
The wash boost dispenser may be used to clean heavily soiled
or stained garments more efficiently.
If desired, place the additives for the wash boost setting in the
right-hand compartment. Use only liquid additives.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line to avoid detergent buildup
In clothing and the washer
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of presoak additives,
which could result in damaged clothes.
NOTE : Do not pour additives directly on the wash load. It may stain the clothes.

When There Is The Possibility Of Freezing Temperatures
•Close the water taps and remove the water supply hoses.
•Remove the water which remains in the water supply.
•Lower the drain hose and drain the water in the sump and the drain hose by running a spin cycle.
Cleaning The Inside Of Your Washer
If you use fabric softener or do regular COLD water washing, it is very important that you
clean the inside of your washer occasionally as described below.
•Fill your washer with HOT water.
•Add 1 cup of bleach.
•Let it operate for several minutes.
•Stop the washer, open the lid, and leave it to soak overnight.
•After soaking, drain the washer and run it through a normal cycle.
Products That Might Damage Your Washing Machine
•Concentrated bleaches and diaper sanitizer will cause damage to the paintwork and components of
your washer.
•Hydrocarbon solvents, i.e. gasoline, kerosene, paint thinners, and lacquer thinners, etc. can dissolve plastic
and blister paint.
(Be careful when washing garments stained with these solvents as they are flammable, DO NOT put
them in washer or dryer.)
•Some pretreatment sprays or liquids can damage your washer’s control panel.
•Use of dyes in your washer may cause staining of the plastic components. The dye will not damage
the machine but we suggest you thoroughly clean your washer afterwards. We do not recommend
the use of dye strippers in your washer.
•Do not use your washer lid as a work surface.
If Frozen
•Remove the water supply hose and immerse it in HOT water. (40° C or 104° F).
•Pour approximately 2 liters (½gallons ) of HOT water (40° C or 104° F) into the sump and allow it to stand for
at least 10 minutes.
•Connect the water supply hose to the water tap Run an Express Wash cycle to confirm that the machine fills,
drains, and operates properly.
Wash Inner-Tub Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate. If you
want to clean the inner-tub use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquid
detergent, then rinse. (Do not use harsh or gritty cleaners.)
Inlet Hoses Hoses connecting washer to faucet should be replaced every 5 years.
Exterior Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Avoid hitting surface with sharp
objects.
Long Vacations Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will be
below freezing.
