•  The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and therefore, the cleaning
results. We recommend temperatures of:
- HOT 49~60°C…(120-140˚F)
White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.
- WARM 29~40°C…(85-105˚F)
Most items
- COLD* 18~24°C…(65-75˚F)
Only very bright colors with light soil.
•  When washing in cold water additional steps may be needed:
-  Adjust detergent amount and pre-dissolve detergent in warm water
-  Pretreat spots and stains
-  Soak heavily soiled items
-  Use appropriate bleach
* Temperature below 18°C…(65˚F) will not activate laundry additives and may cause lint, residue, poor cleaning,
etc. In addition, detergent manufactures and care labels define cold water as 26~29°C…(80-85˚F). 
If the temperature of the water in the tub is too cold for your hands, the detergent will not activate and clean
effectively.
Using Detergent 
Detergent
Follow 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. 
Choosing the right detergent
We recommend the use of domestic detergent, (powder, liquid or concentrated). Soap flakes or granulated
soap powders should not be used in your washing machine. When washing woolens remember to use
detergent suitable for washing woolens. 
Water temperature 
Using Water 
• The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program .
• You can change the water temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP button. 
• This machine detects the quantity of laundry automatically, then sets the water level and
proper amount of detergent. 
• When you select a wash program, the water level and amount of detergent (to be used)
will be shown on the control panel.
• The following table shows the amount of water. 
• When the water level is automatically detected, it may differ depending on the quantity of laundry even
though the same water level is indicated on the control panel.
• The amount of a cup in the diagram is about 40g for concentrated detergent.

Attention
If iron is present in the water the clothes may become an all-over yellow or they may be stained with brown
or orange spots or streaks. Iron is not always visible. Installation of water softener or an iron filter may be
necessary for severe cases.
13
Open the detergent dispenser and deposit the appropriate 
amount of detergent. 
Some detergents MUST be fully dissolved before
adding to your machine to get the best wash results. 
Check the instructions on the detergent packet.
If you use powdered detergent it is essential that the required amount
be fully dissolved in very hot water before being added to warm or hot
water for the actual wash.
Pre-dissolving detergent in warm water when washing in cold water can
improve its performance.
Attentión
Using Detergent 
How much detergent 
When you select a wash program the water level and the amount of detergent (to be used) will be shown
on the control panel. The amount of a cup in the diagram is about 40g for concentrated detergent.
The correct amount of detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes (Jeans and work
cloches may need more detergent, while bath towels usually need less.). 
For liquid and concentrated detergents, follow the recommendations of the detergent manufacturer.
Note: To check you are using the correct amount of detergent, lift the lid of your machine about
half-way through the wash. There should be a thin layer of foam over the surface of the water. Lots
of foam may look good, but it does not contribute to cleaning your clothes. No foam means not
enough detergent has been used; soil and lint can settle back on the clothes or the washing
machine.
If excess detergent is used, the rinse will not be as clean and efficient. Also, it could cause
environmental pollution, so use it accordingly.
Adding the detergent
• Check clothing care label for special instructions and separate
the laundry to be bleached 
• Dilute liquid chlorine bleach.
• Measure the recommended amount of liquid bleach carefully
following instructions on the bottle.
• Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach
directly into bleach dispenser. Avoid splashing or overfilling.
Powdered bleach should be mixed with water before pouring.
Using Liquid Bleach
Bleach dispenser
(           )
Attention
Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.
This may cause change of color or damage the laundry.
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing can reduce
a toxic gas which may cause death.
Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.

Using Fabric Softener (Except for WF-#83 Series)
Using Fabric Softener (For WF-#83 Series)
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend 
Attention
Do not mix with detergent or bleach.
Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them.
Do not stop the washer during the first spin for timely dispensing.
Option washing is not designed to be used with fabric softener dispenser.
• Dilute fabric softener with water.
Undiluted fabric softener may result in spots that look like oil stains.
• Measure and add the recommended amount of fabric softener into the
compartment marked with this smbol(      ).
Follow manufacturer’s direction.         Fabric softener is automatically dispensed
in the final rinse.
Do not overfill. The dispenser hold max 35mL. 
Never add more than 35mL.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener 
which could result in stained clothes. A cup with a pouring spout will help you avoid spilling.
• The effect of adding fabric softener may vary according to its viscosity. The stickier fabric softener makes its effect the
lower. For a sticky fabric softener it is recommended that it be diluted with water, then be manually put during the time
when the washer beeps several times before the final rinse. This function informing correct time to dispense manually is
optionally applied to some models. Please keep it in mind that fabric softener has to be diluted with water before
dispensed and never poured directly on clothes.
Scrud(Waxy Build up)
Softener dispenser (       )
or
Scrud is the name given to the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when the fabric softener comes into contact with
detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault in the machine. 
If scrud is allowed to build-up in the machine it can result in stains on your clothes or an unpleasant smell in your washer.
• Using fabric softener sparingly.
• When filling the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.
• Clean dispenser as soon as the cycle is finished.
• Clean your machine regularly. (refer to page 25)
• Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend a regular warm or hot wash e.g. every 5th
wash should be at least a warm one.
• Fabric softener of thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute to a build-up.

• When filling dispenser, do not splash or overfill. It may stain clothes.
• Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them
• If spotting occurs, wet and rub hand dishwashing liquid (or mild bar
soap) and rewash.

When water  pressure is low, the softener may have to be  inserted manually.
