Warnings regarding the use of detergent
Add an appropriate amount of detergent, referring to the detergent amounts table.
1) Drum washing machines use 1/3 the water of general washers since they use head drop in washing. Thus
you should use only 1/3 the detergent of general washers as well.
2) For lightly soiled laundry, reduce the amount of detergent. Too much detergent may result in too much suds
and leftover bubbles even after rinsing.
3) Reduce the amount of detergent since it has better washing power with good suds in fine quality water (soft
water).
4) Liquid detergent is easy to dilute in water and makes good suds. Thus, reduce the amount of detergent
added.
For the underwear and baby’s clothes with cottons, most of the contamination on the clothes are fats and
proteins that are more effective in cleaning when washing with higher temperature and more rinses instead of
adding more detergent.
Too much detergent may cause those problems.
1) It may not be able to proceed with the normal RINSE cycle for the long rinse because of excess suds.
2) There may be bubbles left over on the clothes even after last spin.
Natural powdered detergent does not dilute well in water which causes leak or the failure of the washer. Make
sure to dilute in warm water before adding.
The amount of detergent for PREWASH is less than half of the MAIN WASH.
Add detergent before starting since the water supplying time is short.
If the detergent dispenser drawer is wet, the flushing of detergent may not be smooth. Therefore, it is more
effective to add detergent after wiping out the water on the drawer.
Draining water may look murky but it does not mean it needs more rise since the draining water with lint, zeo-
lite, fabric softener, etc. gets vapors after they are through the fast rotating draining pump propeller.
Usage of Fabric Softener

Add fabric
softener
Detergent for
prewash
Max fill line
Fabric softener will be automatically dispensed during the last
rinse cycle.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line. (Overfilling can cause direct
dispensing.)
Do not leave the fabric softener in the dispenser drawer for
over two days. (It may become hardened and not be dispensed
automatically.)
Do not use concentrated fabric softener. (It may not be dispensed.)
If the fabric softener compartment is wet, take out the drawer and
wipe the water out before pouring the fabric softener.
The last draining water may look murky from the fabric softener
dispensed in the last rinse cycle.
Guide for Fabric Softener Addition
Please note!
Do not use tissue type detergent or a fabric
softener. It may clog the detergent drop
which may cause a leak or failure.
Add fabric softener always in the right
detergent compartment before washing,
and push the detergent drawer in gently to
close it. (Slopping fabric softener may get
into the drum.)
