Before you start
STEP 2
Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items
•
Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry
items as well as the drum.
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out
•
If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum 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 starting the wash.
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.
•
Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become
caught around the door. Place them inside a fine laundry net.
•
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)
Select the Prewash option for the selected course if the laundry is heavily soiled. Do not use
the Prewash option when detergent is manually added into the drum or if applying liquid
detergent.
STEP 5
Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the washing machine. Overloading may cause the washing machine to not
wash properly. For the load capacity for the type of clothing, see page
31
.
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 maximum spin
cycle speed is 800 rpm, and the load capacity is 2.0 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.
