• This machine detects the quantity of laundry automatically, then sets the WATER

LEVEL and displays the amount of detergent to be used.

• 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.

[ Minimum water amount ] 
It depends on laundry load and washer model. If adding water manually at the beginning of a wash, the water
sensor will then allow the machine to start washing when the minimum amount of water has been added.

• The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program.
• You can change the Water Temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP. button. 

• The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and therefore, the cleaning results. 

We recommend temperatures of:
- HOT 49~55°C…(120-140

)

White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.

- WARM 29~40°C…(85-105

)

Most items

- COLD* 18~24°C…(65-75

)

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 and add to the machine by hand.
- Pretreat spots and stains
- Soak heavily soiled items
- Use appropriate bleach

* Temperature below 18°C…(65

) 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

). 

If the temperature of the water in the tub is too cold for your hands, the Detergent will not activate and clean effectively.

The dispenser drawer contains 2 compartments:
• Liquid Fabric Softener
• Liquid or Powder Low-Sudsing, High-Efficiency Detergent
The dispenser automatically dispenses additives at the proper time in the wash cycle.
1.Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling the drawer out until it stops. 
2.After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer

too quickly could result in early dispensing of additives.

• Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding laundry products to the dispenser.

Doing so could result in early dispensing of laundry products.

At the end of the cycle, you may see water in the compartments. This is part of the
normal operation of the washer.
NOTE: Do not use bleach in the dispenser drawer.

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.

Follow the Detergent package directions. Using too little Detergent is a common cause of laundry problems as is if
too much detergent is used. 
Only more Detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils or lower Water Temperature. 

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, and long term scrud build up.

Add measured detergent to the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.

Detergent is flushed through the dispenser at the beginning of the wash phase. Pre dissolved detergent can also
be added directly into the bowl by hand at this time.

Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load.
Avoid using too much detergent in your washer, as it can lead to oversudsing and detergent residue being left on
the clothes.

We recommend the use of drum type, low sudsing high efficiency 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.

• 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 thoroughly with water before pouring.

If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener
into the right-hand compartment. 
Use only liquid fabric softener.
Dilute with water if necessary before adding to the maximum fill
line.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener,
which could stain clothes.
NOTE: Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load.

It may stain the clothes.

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. 

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 pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.

• 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 21 or 33)
• 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.

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.
Softener will not be dispensed if an Option Wash is selected.

• Remove stains promptly.

• Determine the kind of stain, then follow the recommended treatment in the stain removal

chart below.

• To pretreat stains, use a prewash product, liquid Detergent, or a paste made from

granular Detergent and water.

• Use COLD water on unknown stains because HOT water can set stains.

• Check care label instructions for treatments to avoid on specific fabrics.

• Check for colorfastness by testing stain remover on an inside seam.

• Rinse and wash items after stain removal.

TREATMENT

Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach with other household chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust removers, acid or products

containing ammonia. These mixtures can produce dangerous fumes which can cause serious injury or death.

To reduce the risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property, comply with the basic warnings listed below:

• Read and comply with all instructions on stain removal products.

• Keep stain removal products in their original labeled containers and out of children’s reach.

• Thoroughly wash any utensil used.

• Do not combine stain removal products, especially ammonia and chlorine bleach. Dangerous fumes may result.

• Never wash items which have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents

or other flammable or explosive substances because they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Never use highly flammable solvents, such as gasoline, inside the home. Vapors can explode on contact with flames or sparks.
