Before You Start Washing
Checking before use
For the appliance’s initial operation or
after a prolonged period of non-operation,
perform the following procedures:
1. Secure the water-supply hose.
2. Open the tap.
3. Connect the power.
4. Make sure that the water-drain hose
is positioned towards a drain.
For more details, see page 39.
Before initial use
The default setting is the 40 ºC Cotton
programme. For the appliance’s initial
operation, operate it WITHOUT any
detergent or clothing to rinse out residue or
moisture.
Note
There may be drops of water or
condensation in the appliance due
to the factory inspection prior to
shipment. This is not a malfunction.
Preparing the laundry
Sorting clothing
- Read clothing washing labels to help
you sort them into different loads.
- Sort the laundry by colour, by type of
fabric, and by 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 of
clothing into a laundry net to prevent them
or the appliance from getting damaged.
Treating stains
Apply stain remover to stained portions.
For dirt and solid stains, wash lightly by
hand first.
Checking clothing
- Check that 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 that are 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.
