A NOTE TO YOU

Thank you for buying a DAEWOO appliance.
DAEWOO washers are easy to use, save time, and help you manage your home better.
This manual contains valuable information about how to operate and maintain your washer properly and safely.
Please read it carefully.

␊ Economic washing system

The washing machine determines the water level and washing time
automatically by sensing the amount of laundry and water
temperature in order to minimize energy and water consumption.

␊ Low noise system

The washing machine minimizes the spinning noise level by sensing
the amount of unbalance of laundry.

␊ Nano-silver sterilization washing(Option)

By applying very fine silver particles on essential parts inside, the
washer sterilizes up to 99.9% as is done by boiling wash.

␊ Air bubble washing(Option)

This is an advanced technology that generates millions of air bubbles
inside the drum on washing sequence, and the bubbles dissolve the detergent particles completely and
cleanse all the soil in clothes gently and neatly.

Your safety is important to us.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your washer adhere to the
following basic precautions.

Understanding your responsibilities

• Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acid(such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same
wash. Hazardous fumes can form.

• Unplug power supply cord before attempting to service your washer.

• Do not wash fiberglass material.
Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in following loads and cause skin irritation.

• Do not spray water on the control panel of the washer.
It could cause fire or an electric shock.

• In case of the dual valve model, if you connect only one water inlet valve, the water leakage
from other water inlet valve(unconnected) can occurs.

• This appliance must be grounded.
To avoid electrical shock, use a metal pipe for the ground connection.

WASHER SAFETY

• Flammable fluids (dry-cleaning solvents,
kerosene, gasoline, etc.) should not be
used or stored in or near your washer.
Do not add flammable fluids to your wash
water.These substances give off vapors
that can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• After starting a cycle, do not reach into the
washer until all motions stop.

• Do not tamper with the controls.

• The appliance is not intended for use by
young children or infirm persons without
supervision.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.

• If the appliance is supplied from a cord
extension set or electrical portable outlet
device it should be positioned so that it is
not subjected to splashing or ingress of
moisture.

Please ...

• Have only a qualified person install, repair,
or replace parts on washer.

• Maintain washer properly.

• Protect washer from the weather and keep
it where the temperature will not fall below
freezing.

OPERATING YOUR WASHER

To obtain the best washing results, you must operate your washer properly.
This section gives you this important information.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

• Electrical earth is required on this washer.

• If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

• Don’t earth to a gas pipe.

• Don’t change the power supply cord plug.

• Check with a qualified electrician if you are not
sure the washer is properly earthed.

For your personal safety, this washer must be earthed.
This washer is equipped with a power supply cord ‘A’ having a earthing plug ‘B’.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating
earthing-type wall receptacle ‘C’. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is
the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the proper
earthed wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

WARNING

Electrical shock hazard : Failure to follow these instructions could result in death

or serious injury.

A

Recommended earthing method

• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid
snagging other items.
Remove pin, buckles, and other hard
objects to avoid scratching the washer
interior.

• Empty pockets and pull them inside out.

• Turn down cuffs and turn synthetic knits
inside out to avoid pilling.

• Tie strings and sashes to avoid tangling.

• Treat spots and stains.
(See 'REMOVING STAINS' on page 14)

Preparing clothes for washing

7

• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together.

• Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from non-colorfast item.

Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
Color (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white clothes from colored clothes.
Lint (Lint producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

Sorting

• Drop items into washer loosely. Items should move
easily through wash water for best cleaning and
wrinkle-free results.

• Load washer properly and select correct load size
setting.
Overloading and selecting a setting too small for
the wash load can :

- Cause poor cleaning

- Increase wrinkling

- Create excessive lint

- Wear out items faster (because of pilling)

• Mix large and small items in each load. Load evenly
to maintain washer balance.
An unbalanced load can make the washer vibrate
during spin.

• Reduce wash time when using a small load size
setting. Load with only a few small items needs
less wash time.

• Use a large load size setting to reduce wrinkling
with permanent press clothes and some synthetic
knits. These items should have more room to
move in the water than heavy items. (towels, jeans)

Loading

1 Detergent case 2 Adding fabric softener

• If desired, add measured liquid fabric
softener to the softener inlet.

• Pour liquid fabric softener into the
dispenser using the amount
recommended on the package.

• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of
the fabric softener which could stain
clothes.

• Do not open the detergent case when
water is supplied.

• Avoid pouring fabric softener directly on
the clothes.

Adding detergent

Main wash

Pre wash

Fabric softener

• Please use only the powder detergent for the front loader washing machine.

• Please use the proper amount of detergent in conformity with the instruction of the detergent manufacturer.

• A use of a large amount of detergent more than the recommended amount can cause many soapsuds and
the overload to the motor. In addition to, this will deteriorate the washing and rinse performance.

• If too much detergent used, it can occur that the detergent directly falls down to the inside cavity. In this
case, remove the detergent case and clean the cavity after washing cycle is finished. (See page 13)
