Laundry guidelines
STEP 1 Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
• Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed bres, synthetics, silks, wools, and
rayon.
• Colour: Separate whites from colours.
• Size: Mixing different sized items together in the drum improves the washing
performance.
• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately for pure, new woollen items, curtains, and
silk items. Check the labels on the items.
NOTE
Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before
starting the wash.

Before you start
STEP 2 Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items
• Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry
items as well as the drum.
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out
• If trousers or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum may be damaged.
Zippers should be closed and xed with a string.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie
the strings before starting the wash.
STEP 3 Use a laundry net
• Brassieres (machine washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the
brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.
• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become
caught around the door. Place them inside a ne laundry net.
• Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal
vibrations that could move the washing machine and result in injury.
STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)
Select the Prewash option for the selected cycle if the laundry is heavily soiled. When
selecting the Prewash option, make sure to put powder-type detergent into the main wash
compartment.
STEP 5 Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the washing machine. Overloading may cause the washing machine to
not wash properly. For the load capacity for the type of clothing, see page 36.
NOTE
When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin
efciency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum
spin cycle speed is 800 rpm, and the load capacity is 2.0 kg or less.
CAUTION
If the laundry is unbalanced and the “Ub” information code is displayed, redistribute the
load. Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance.

Before you start
STEP 6 Apply a proper detergent type
The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items,
wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Make sure to use the laundry
detergent that is designed for automatic washing machines.
NOTE
• Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the
laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you
are not sure about the water hardness, contact a local water authority.
• Do not use detergent that tends to be hardened or solidied. This detergent may
remain after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.
CAUTION
When washing wool using the WOOL cycle, use only a neutral liquid detergent. If used
with the WOOL cycle, powder detergent may remain on the laundry and discolour the
laundry.
Laundry capsules
To get the best results from using laundry capsules, please follow these instructions.
1. Put the capsule in the bottom of the
empty drum towards the rear.
Untitled-2 28 2017-03-13  5:17:14

English 29
Before you start
2. Put the laundry in the drum on top of
the capsule.
CAUTION
For cycles using cold water or cycles that complete in less than one hour, it is
recommended to use a liquid detergent. Otherwise, the capsule may not dissolve
completely.
Detergent drawer guidelines
The washing machine provides a three-compartment dispenser: the left compartment for
the main wash, the front-right for fabric softeners, and the rear-right for the preliminary
wash.
A
1. Prewash compartment: Apply
prewash detergent.
2. Main-wash compartment: Apply
