A buildup of detergent residue can occur in the wash tub over time and can lead to a mildewy or musty smell. 
The CLEAN WASHER cycle is specially designed to remove this buildup using bleach or other cleaner 
designed specifically for cleaning front load washers.
The CLEAN WASHER cycle should be run once a month, or more often under heavy use conditions or if 
odor is present.

For powdered tub cleaners, add the cleaner to the main wash compartment of the dispenser drawer. Place 
tablet cleaners directly into the tub. Always follow the cleaner manufacturers instructions and 
Recommendations

Do NOT use this cycle with clothes, and do NOT add detergent or fabric softener.

The drum is equipped with a blue LED light that illuminates when the washer is turned ON. 
This light automatically turns OFF when the door is closed and the cycle starts. To turn ON the light during a 
cycle, press and hold AUTO SOAK button for 3 seconds. The drum light will illuminate and then turn OFF 
automatically after 4 minutes.

Use this option to disable the controls. The washer can be locked during a cycle. This feature allows you to 
prevent children from changing cycles or operating the machine. Once set, the CONTROL LOCK must be 
turned off before the controls can be used. Once the washer has shut off, the power button will allow the 
machine to be turned on, but the controls will still be locked. When the controls are locked, "CL" will be 
displayed alternately with the estimated time remaining. Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK button for 
5 seconds to activate or deactivate the controls.

Select this option to store a customized wash cycle for future use.
1. Select a cycle.
2. Press the desired options.
3. Press the desired modifiers.
4. To save the cycle press MY CYCLE.
5. Press the START/PAUSE.
6. To reuse this cycle at another time, select MY CYCLE and press the START/PAUSE

This feature uses a sensor in the tub to check the hardness of the water and the detergent amount. Wash and 
rinse cycles will be adjusted to optimize wash and rinse performance. 
To use the SMART SENSE feature press and hold 2nd RINSE button for 3 seconds.
    Excessive detergent amount: rinsing cycle increase.
    Insufficient detergent amount: washing time increase.
    A small amount of remaining detergent detected: additional rinsing will be added.

5-5. EXPLANATION OF EACH PROCESS

No.

Process

Explanation

1.

Stay

• Electrical power is supplied
• Washer is ready to work and the micom is in the active mode.

2.

Water
supply

• After loading laundry and selecting a course and a cycle, water is

supplied and  drum rotates.

• When a user selects Pre-wash course, water is supplied through 

pre wash valve.

3.

Soaking
& washing
laundry

• To get laundry wet, drum rotates clockwise and counterclockwise.
• If water amount is insufficient at this time, the Inlet valve will supply

water again. 

4.

Heating &
washing

• The heater heats the water in drum to the selected water temperature

and drum rotates for washing. 

5.

6.

Washing
& heating
/ washing

• When the water temperature reaches to the selected temperature, the

heating stops and only the drum rotates.

• If water temperature becomes lower than selected because of 

re-supplied water, the heating starts again.

7.

Washing

• Fuzzy Logic decides washing time according to the laundry load, water

temperature, and other factors.

8.

Drainage

• A pump motor drains the water from the drum.
• After sensing drained water amount by water level frequency, spin starts.
• When a heating course is selected, stay cooling process is performed to

decrease the water temperature gradually to prevent laundry from being
damaged and for safety reasons.

9.

Untangling
(Sensing
eccent-
ricity)

• It balances laundry load and senses the eccentricity of the load, to only

allow spinning  without vibration 

• If the eccentricity is worse than the allowed level, it repeats the

disentangling process. When the repeated time is more than allowed
level, it displays UE.

• If the eccentricity is good, the intermittent spin starts.
• During this process, the drain pump works for drainage intermittently.

No.

Process

Explanation

A.

Intermittent
spin

• To reach the correct set speed, the motor rotates clockwise and

counterclockwise directions after spin process starts.

• If the water level frequency is lower than 23.0 kHz, a washer senses

suds and starts suds removal process.

B.

Rinse
spin

• In this process, the remaining water during washing process is

extracted and the selected speed is kept.

• Removing suds process is in active mode at this cycle.

C.

Remaining
spin

• After spin finishes, the drum rotates by remaining spin power until it stops.

Motor power is off.

• This process is overlapped with next process. 

D.

Rinse water
supply

• Water supply for rinse process

E.

Rinse

• Rinsing process.

F.

Last
drainage

• After spin finishes and power is not supplied to motor, the drum

rotates by remaining spin power

• If rinse hold is selected, the drainage is not proceeded after rinse

finishes.

G.

Disentangling

• The same as item 9.

H.

Intermittent spin • The same as item A.

I.

Main spin1

• The same as item B.

J.

Main spin2

• At the end of a main spin, the spin speed will reach the selected rpm.

K.

Remaining spin • The same with item C.

L.

Disentangling

• After spin finishes, disentangling starts to remove unbalanced

laundry.

M.

End

• After 'end' signal is displayed, it stays for 8 seconds and power is

automatically turned off. (Auto type door switch)

• After door switch is off, end signal is displayed in the case of

manual type and it takes around 2 minute to turn off door switch.
