• Rust-Proof Fiber Body
Made of durable material with rust-proof fiber body, it can endure humidity for an extended time.
• Diamond Drum
The diamond shaped drum creates a high water pressure, removing dirt from the laundry
effectively. The diamond drum minimizes fabric damage extending the lifetime of the fabric. The
glittering inner tube is both beautiful and powerful in the wash effect it creates.
• Air Turbo Drying System
- Air Turbo technology spins hard and fast so you can spend less time drying.
- Time Saving AIR TURBO saves your time, ensuring your clothes are dried 30%-40% faster
than line drying alone. Especially during the rainy season and in high-humid weather, laundry
that once took days to drip-dry, such as heavy jeans, bulky sweaters, and thick blankets are
dried more rapidly.
- Easy-to-iron AIR TURBO is perfect for delicates and clothes made of synthetic fabrics.
No more hanging and waiting. Simply iron straight-out-of-the washer, since AIR TURBO
eliminates just enough moisture to keep clothes adequately damp for ironing.
• Fuzzy Control
Fuzzy control operates with best washing program by sensing the washload like artificial
intelligence.
• Double Storm Pulsator- Less Tangle, Better Washing
Performance
- Tangle Free - Multi-dimensional water currents help clothes stay tangle free.
- Water current technology designed specifically to enhance washing performance. The power
of tornado-like multi-dimensional water currents guarantee excellent washing performance.
• Magic Filter
This unique magic Filter ensures that all the lint inside the tub is captured for top quality filtering
results to deliver consistently effective cleaning results.
• CHILD-LOCK Function
This is a device to protect children from being accidentally hurt while playing with the washer.(For
more information, see page 10)

CHECKING BEFORE WASHING AND CARING FOR GARMENTS
Must follow the checkpoints in order to avoid machine problems or damages on garments.
• If the below problems are caused by customer’s faults, separate service fee will be charged.
Checkpoints Before Starting Washing
Check if the clothes are bleaching or not.
• Add liquid detergent to a white towel and the garment where you can’t notice well. Then, rub
together strongly. Check if the color transferred to the towel.
• Be careful for scarves and imported clothes since they are easily discoloring.
• Check for stains or partial dirt.
• If stains are found, use the towel wet with detergents to rub on in a single direction.
• Before washing, the sleeves, collar, dress hem and pockets are pre-treated by brushing with
detergents.
The wrinkle-processed clothes made of wool are specially treated by fixing them with threads
before washing. The threads shall be removed after the clothes are dried.
Not washable laundry
Clothes those are easily transformable even by soaking in water.
• Even by soaking in water, neckties, brassieres, jackets, suits and coats can be easily
transformed like shrinking and discoloring on the garment surfaces because they are mostly
made of rayon, polynosic, cuff and their blend fabrics.
• The wrinkle-processed, embossed, or resin processed products are easy to transform even
by soaking in water.
• Easily discoloring products made of cotton and wool, wrinkled silk, leather products, leather
accessory, leather ornamented clothes and its accessory.
• Don’t wash those clothes without handling guideline or material indication tag.
About Detergent
• When detergents are not dissolving well, use warm water (about 40°C) to dissolve the
detergent.
• Use an appropriate amount.
• Even if excess amount of detergent is used, there is not much difference in washing
result. It may cause damages to the garments because rinsing is not enough.
• The bleaching agent may cause damages to garments since it is strong alkali.
• Do sufficient rinsing because the powder detergent is easily remained on the garments
causing bad odors.
• If too much detergent is used or cold water is used, it doesn’t dissolve completely and
remain on the garments, hose or spin basket, causing contamination on clothes.
• In case of reserved washing, detergents must be put in the detergent box. If the powder
detergents are spread on laundry directly, it may cause discoloration.

CARING FOR CLOTHES BEFORE WASHING
Take out personal belongings from pockets.
• Caution, Check the pockets! Hairpins and coins cause damages to
clothes and washing machine. They make noise and problems to
the machine. Must check the pocket.
If pants zippers are open while washing, the spin basket may be damaged. The zipper
should be closed and fixed with a string before washing.
• Metal on the clothing may cause damage to the clothes and the tub.
• Turn clothing with buttons and embroidered clothes inside out the
before washing them.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes,
and may cause damage to the clothing. Be sure to fix the strings
before washing.
Waterproof clothes (Ski Wear, Diaper Covers, Footboards) are not allowed for washing.
• This may cause the laundry to be ejected or cause the washing machine to vibrate
abnormally, which may result in personal injury or damage the washing machine, the floor
or the clothing. (Diapers, waterproof clothing, raincoats, umbrella covers, skiwear, car cover
sheets, and sleeping bags, etc.).
• When the tub rotates, water may become trapped in the waterproof clothing or fabric and
can collect in a corner, causing abnormal vibrations. In addition, the laundry rises and may be
ejected and cause personal injury.
Shake the dirt or soils from clothes.
• Soil and sands may rub delicate garments to cause damages and the washing result may be
unsatisfactory.
Do pre-washing for white socks, sleeves, and collars before the main washing.
• For stains and dirt on collars, sleeves, hems, and pockets, apply some detergent to them
and apply it lightly with a brush before washing.
• Use powdered or liquid detergent. Do not use soap as the tub may become dirty from the
dirt on it.
Turn inside out for those nappy clothes before washing.
• If clothes have too much foreign matter, separate them for washing.
Other clothes may pick up those dirty matters (dirt, thread).
• Wash black colored clothes and cotton towels separately. If they are
washed together, towels may pick up dirty matters. Check before
washing.
Cashmilon and those garments having big volume and lightweight
(eg. Lasedecorated clothes, lingerie, nylon stocking, synthetic fabrics
etc.) may rise and cause damages to the clothes and problems to the
machine. Use the laundry net or wash them separately.
• Must put those long stringed clothes, lase-worked clothes, bed cover
sheet, wool clothes into a laundry net before washing.

• Connect the water supply hose to the water tap. Leave a tap open. Plug the power cord in. Make sure

sensed and then appropriate water level, washing time, rinsing cycle, and spinning time are
automatically selected for automatic washing.
• After the power is on, a program is selected and Start/Pause button is pressed. Then,
the washing board starts spinning without water. This action senses how much laundry is
in the washing basket, not a machine problem. After this sensing process, water supplies
automatically.
Adding Detergent and Softener
• It senses the amount of laundry and indicates the water level and amount of detergent. Then,
it starts water supply right away.
• During the water supply, it is possible to open the detergent box and add detergent.
However, it is better to press Start/Pause button to stop water supply and add detergent.
Close the lid and press Start/Pause button again. This way is much more convenient.
• If the softener is inserted in the softener dispenser, it automatically adds in at the last rinsing
cycle.
Put the laundry into the washer and add detergent, too.
• Be careful not to overload. Use right detergent for the fabrics you are washing.
• If the lid is open while running, the washing machine is stopped automatically for safety.
(Except, water supply continues while the lid is open.)
• When hot water is selected, both cold and hot water are supplied for the first 20
seconds in order to protect the clothes.
• Possible to control the washing time, rinsing cycle, and spinning time at every program
during the washing.
