Before Washing

Checking before use

For the appliance’s initial operation or

after a prolonged period of non-operation,

perform the following procedures:

Secure the water supply hose.

Turn on the tap.

Connect the power supply.

Make sure that the water drain hose

is positioned towards a drain.

For more details, see page 38.

Before initial use

Before using the appliance for the first

time, run the 40 ºC Cotton programme

WITHOUT any detergent or clothing to

rinse out residue or moisture.

Note

There may be residual water in the

appliance due to the factory inspection

prior to shipment. This is not a

malfunction.

Preparing the laundry

Sorting the laundry

Read clothing care labels to sort the

laundry into different loads.
Sort the laundry by colour, type of fabric

and how soiled it is. Doing so will help

you choose the correct programme and

temperature for each wash.
Clothes that are not colour fast should

be washed separately. Wash denim

separately.

You should put bras with metal wires,

tights, lace clothing and small items into

a laundry net to prevent them or the

appliance from being damaged.

Caution

Do NOT wash water-repellent

clothing.

There is a possibility of excessive

vibration or failure during the spin-

drying cycle that may result in an

injury, damage to the appliance or a

water leak.

Treating stains

Apply stain remover to stained portions.

For dirt and solid stains, wash lightly by

hand first.

Checking clothing

Check that the pockets on clothing

do not contain any objects that may

damage the clothes or the appliance.

Tie up any loose strings on the clothing

and close zippers. Turn clothing with

raised fabrics and zippers inside

out. Otherwise, the clothes may be

damaged.

REMOVE any hair, animal fur, sand

and other materials with a brush before

washing.

Note

Do not wash clothes heavily stained

with large quantities of vegetable oil or

cosmetic oil (aroma oil, etc.). Failure

to observe this may result in the door

seal swelling, causing the water to

overflow and leading to malfunctions.
