contribute to excessive vibration and
unbalance.
ҟIf the washing machine is installed on a raised
platform, it must be securely fastened in order
to eliminate the risk of falling off.
ҟIf the washing machine is installed on a
uneven, weak or tilted floor causing excessive
vibration, spin failure or “UE” error can occur.
It must be placed on a firm and level floor to
prevent spin failure.

3-1. Using the Appliance
3. OPERATING
Before the first wash, select a washing
programme (Normal, add a half load of
detergent), allow the washing machine to wash
without clothing. This will remove residue and
water from the drum that may have been left
during manufacturing.
1Sort laundry and load items.
ҟSort laundry by fabric type, soil level,
colour and load size as needed. Open the
door and load items into the washing
machine.
2Add cleaning products and/or detergent and
softener.
ҟAdd the proper amount of detergent to the
detergent dispenser drawer. If desired,
add bleach or fabric softener to the
appropriate areas of the dispenser.
3Turn on the washing machine.
ҟPress the Power button to turn on the
washing machine.
4Choose the desired wash programme.
ҟPress the Programa button repeatedly
until the desired programme is selected.
5Begin programme.
ҟPress the Start/Pause button to begin the
programme. The washing machine will
agitate briefly without water to measure
the weight of the load. If the Start/Pause
button is not pressed within 60 minutes,
the washing machine will shut off and all
settings will be lost.
6End of programme.
ҟWhen the programme is finished, a
melody will sound. Immediately remove
your clothing from the washing machine to
reduce wrinkling.
NOTE
ҟThe Auto Restart function allows the

3-2. Sorting Laundry
1Look for a care label on your clothes.
ҟThis will tell you about the fabric content
of your garment and how it should be
washed.
ҟSymbols on the care labels.
[Wash temperature]
[Normal machine wash]
[Permanent press]
[Delicate]
[Hand wash]
[Do not wash]
2Sorting laundry.
ҟTo get the best results, sort clothes into
loads that can be washed with the same
wash cycle.
ҟDifferent fabrics need to be washed at
varying temperatures and spin speeds.
ҟAlways sort dark colours from pale colours
and whites. Wash separately as dye and
lint transfer can occur causing
discolouration of white and pale garments.
If possible, do not wash heavily soiled
items with lightly soiled ones.
<Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) :
Separate clothes according to amount of
soil.
<Colour (White, Lights, Darks):
Separate white fabrics from coloured
fabrics.
<Lint (Lint producers, Collectors):
Wash lint producers and lint collectors
separately.
3Caring before loading.
ҟCombine large and small items in a load.
Load large items first.
ҟLarge items should not be more than half
the total wash load. Do not wash single
items. This may cause an unbalanced
load. Add one or two similar items.
ҟCheck all pockets to make sure that they
are empty. Items such as nails, hair clips,
matches, pens, coins and keys can
damage both your washing machine and
your clothes.
ҟClose zippers, hooks and strings to make
sure that these items don’t snag on other
clothes.
ҟPre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a
small amount of detergent dissolved water
onto stains to help lift dirt.
CAUTION
ҟDo not wash or spin any item labeled or
known to be water-proof or water-resistant,
even if the product care label on the item
permits machine washing. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in severe
damage to your laundry, your washing
machine and/or property damage as a result
of abnormal vibration of the washing machine.
<Examples of water-proof or water-resistant
items include certain mattress pads,
mattress covers, rain gear, camping gear,
skiing apparel, outdoor gear and similar
items.

Adding Cleaning Products
Detergent Dosage
ҟDetergent should be used according to the
instruction of the detergent manufacturer and
selected according to type, colour, soiling of
the fabric and washing temperature.
ҟIf too much detergent is used, too many suds
can occur and this will result in poor washing
results or cause heavy load to the motor.
ҟIf you wish to use liquid detergent follow the
guidelines provided by the detergent
manufacturer.
ҟYou can pour liquid detergent directly into the
main detergent drawer if you are starting the
cycle immediately.
ҟDo not use liquid detergent if you are using
Time delay, or if you have selected Pre Wash,
as the liquid may harden.
ҟIf too many suds occur, reduce the detergent
amount.
ҟDetergent usage may need to be adjusted for
water temperature, water hardness, size and
soil level of the load. For best results, avoid
oversudsing.
ҟRefer to the label of the clothes, before
choosing the detergent and water
temperature.
ҟWhen using the washing machine, use
designated detergent for each type of clothing
only:
<General powdered detergents for all types of
fabric
<Powdered detergents for delicate fabric
<Liquid detergents for all types of fabric or
designated detergents only for wool
ҟFor better washing performance and
whitening, use detergent with the general
powdered bleach.
ҟDetergent is flushed from the dispenser at the
beginning of the cycle.
ҟDilute liquid detergent with water and pour into
the drum, start the cycle.
ҟUsing liquid detergent without diluting, or
leaving laundry for a long time after pouring
diluted liquid detergent into the drum might
cause damage, bleaching or discoloration of
cloth.
NOTE
ҟDo not let the detergent harden. Doing so may
lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or
odour.
ҟFull load : According to manufacturer’s
recommendation.
ҟPart load : 3/4 of the normal amount
ҟMinimum load : 1/2 of full load
Adding Detergent
ҟFollow the detergent package directions.
Using too little detergent is a common cause
of laundry problems. Use more detergent if
you have hard water, large loads, greasy or
oily soils or lower water temperature.
ҟSoap flakes or granulated soap powders
should not be used in your washing machine.
When washing woolens, remember to use
detergent suitable for washing woolens.
NOTE
ҟToo much detergent, bleach or softener may
cause an overflow.

13
Adding Fabric Softener
ҟDo not exceed the maximum fill line.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the
fabric softener, which may stain clothes. Close
the dispenser drawer slowly.
ҟDo not leave the fabric softener in the
detergent drawer for more than 2 days (Fabric
softener may harden).
ҟSoftener will automatically be added during
the last rinse cycle.
ҟDo not open the drawer when water is being
supplied.
ҟSolvents (benzene, etc.) should not be used.
NOTE
ҟDo not pour fabric softener directly on the
clothes.
Adding Liquid Bleach
ҟCheck clothing care label for special
instructions and separate the laundry to be
bleached.
ҟDilute liquid chlorine bleach.
ҟMeasure the recommended amount of liquid
bleach carefully following instructions on the
bottle.
ҟBefore starting the washing machine, pour the
measured amount of bleach directly into the
bleach dispenser. Avoid splashing or
overfilling. Powdered bleach should be mixed
with water before being poured into the
dispenser.
NOTE
ҟNever pour undiluted liquid bleach directly
onto clothes or into the wash basket. This
may cause change of color or damage the
laundry.
ҟDo not pour powdered bleach into the bleach
dispenser.

shoes. It can cause damage to the appliance and
other items in the wash.
tPut bedclothes into a laundry net and then soak
and sink them in water so that they are less likely
to oat. If the items oat during the wash or
spin, it may damage the appliance and the
clothes.
tRegardless of size, we recommend washing
bedclothes individually. If two bedclothes with
dierent materials are washed at the same time,
it might cause a spin malfunction due to
imbalance.
CAUTION
tWhen putting a blanket into the drum, do not
load it over the maximum line a. The blanket
must also be submerged in the water. Failure to
do so or overloading the blanket in the appliance
