STEP 2 Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry
items, and remove dirt and/or soils from
them.
• Metal objects such as coins, pins, and
buckles on clothing may damage other
laundry items as well as the tub.
• Turn clothing with buttons and
embroideries inside out.
• If pants or jacket zippers are open while
washing, the tub may be damaged.
• Zippers should be closed and fixed with
a string.
• Clothing with long strings may become
entangled with other clothes. Make sure
to tie the strings before washing.
STEP 3 Use a laundry net
• Brassieres (water washable) must be
placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of
the brassieres may break through and
tear other laundry items.
• Cashmilon, large volume garments,
and lightweight clothes (lace-decorated
clothes, lingerie, nylon stocking, and
synthetic fabrics) may float on water
during washing and cause problems
to the machine. Use the laundry net or
wash them separately.
• Do not wash the laundry net by itself
without other laundry. This may cause
abnormal vibrations that could move the
washing machine and result in injury.
STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)
• To remove stains and dirt on collars,
sleeves, hems, and pockets, apply
detergent lightly and brush off.
• Use powder or liquid detergents. Do not
use soap, as this may remain on the tub
after washing.
• Prewash white socks, sleeves, and
collars with a little detergent and a
brush.
STEP 5 Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the washing machine.
Overloading may cause the washing
machine to not wash properly.
NOTE
When washing bedding or bedding covers,
the wash time may be lengthened or the
spin efficiency may be reduced. For bedding
or bedding covers, the recommended load
capacity is 3.5 kg or less.
CAUTION
If the laundry is unbalanced and the “ Ub ”
information code is displayed, redistribute
the load. Unbalanced laundry may reduce
the spinning performance.
