2. About Operation Switching
Wash ASpin clutch switching
1Pull the drain valve. (Pull the clutch lever.)
2The pulsator rotates forwards while repeating small forward and reverse rotations.
3Clutch switching is completed when both the wash tub and the pulsator start rotating.
In the case where the clutch is not switched even after the clutch switching is attempted 4 times, fill the
wash tub with water again and fluff the laundry, then perform the same switching operation. If the clutch is
still not switched, the error Ec6 is displayed.
Sometimes, clutch switching operation is performed by filling the wash tub with water at the start of
spinning.
(See Page 2for details of Ec errors.)
Spin AWash clutch switching
1The drain valve returns. (The lever returns.)
2Spin tub makes small forward and reverse rotations.
3The spin tub makes large forward and reverse rotations at a low speed.
4Clutch switching is completed when only the pulsator starts rotating.
In the case where the clutch is not switched even after the clutch switching is attempted 6 times, fill the
wash tub with water and let it stand for 3 minutes, then perform the switching operation again. If the
clutch is still not switched, rotate the wash tub by 180 degrees and perform the same switching operation.
If the clutch is still not switched, the error Ec5 is displayed. (See Page 2for details of Ec errors.)
Note) If the washing operation was originally being performed, the clutch switching is not performed but
the washing operation starts immediately.

Operation
Just as the current models, the wash tub does not rotate even if it is not turned
clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The wash tub stops at multiple
positions (at one of the 18 points for every 20 degrees)
Just as the current models, the wash tub rotates freely both in clockwise or
counterclockwise direction. When a long time (30 minutes) has elapsed, the
machine is switched to the clutch switching standby status.
After rotating in the reverse direction at the start of spinning, the main spinning
is performed. (This control is adopted from E-series.)
Just as the current models, brake is applied to stop rotation. When the rotation
stops, the clutch lever returns and the machine is switched to the clutch
switching standby status.
