The main features of your front loading washer dryer and
Features
tips for good washing and drying results are described below. Please read them before using your machine.
Wind Iron
z High-speed airflow smoothes out wrinkles. Clothes are dried at lower
temperatures than with previous models, resulting in less shrinking of delicate clothes.
z Clothes move freely inside the big drum while drying. z A Jet Fan Motor generates the high-speed airflow, which blows through the
clothes to smooth out wrinkles.
Cleaning power
High-speed airflow
3D Sensor Control Wash
z The 3D vibration sensor maximizes
the beat washing effect by controlling the drum rotation speed using a revolution sensor. (This function is used during the [FUZZY], [SPEEDY WASH & DRY], [SPEEDY], [HEAVY], [FAVORITE], and [SOFT] programs.)
Energy saving

1
Recycled heat from the main motor
Heat generated from the main motor is transferred into the drum to raise the temperature.
2
Recycled heat from the Jet Fan
In addition to heat from the heater, compressed heat from the Jet Fan, which generates high-speed airflow, and heat from the Jet Fan Motor are used as hot air during drying.
3
Recycled heat via the Eco Vent
Air warmed by the main motor and heater enters the Eco Vent (open-close type inlet), which is set along the drying pipeline, and is reused as warm air during drying. (This function is not used during the [SILENT], [DRY (10 MIN)], and [DEODORANT] programs.)
Improved beat washing effect.

Tips for Good Washing Results
Preparing your laundry
Separate items for which lint is a concern,
or place them into a mesh laundry bag
z Place corduroy (or other long pile material) or dark
colored clothes, stockings, and other clothes on which lint may be noticeable in a commercially available mesh laundry bag with lint protection.
z When washing with other laundry, use the Water-
Injection Rinse function and the [RINSE (3 times)] or [RINSE (4 times)] operation.
Separate items that are likely to
bleed color
z Separate items that bleed
color easily, and wash items of similar color 2 to 3 pieces at a time.
Place small and delicate items
into a mesh laundry bag
z Place brassieres with wires into commercially
available mesh laundry bags made for brassieres.
z Place socks, handkerchiefs, and other small items into
commercially available mesh laundry bags made for general purposes. This is to prevent the items from getting caught between the inside of the door and the door bellows during operation.
Remove debris, dirt, sand, hair,
and pet fur
z Debris and foreign particles
may clog the drainage pipeline and drying pipeline, resulting in malfunction.
(Single pieces of laundry tend to gravitate to one side during the spin cycle and may not dry sufficiently. Wash them together with other items for which color transfer is not a concern.)
Remove all coins, hairpins, and objects
(including from pockets)
z These objects
may damage the laundry or cause malfunctions.
Remove matches, hairpins, coins, etc.
Treat stains as soon as possible
z Stains become harder to
remove as time passes. Partial cleaning of the stained area before wash may help remove them.
Tie all strings and close all
fasteners
z This is to prevent the
fasteners from damaging the laundry and causing malfunctions in the machine.
Separate items for which pilling or lint is
a concern, or turn them inside out
z Turn sweaters and other items for
which pilling is a concern inside out.
z Separate such items from towels,
bath towels, etc.

To prevent coarse textures
Items such as towels can feel coarse after washing due to flattened piles.
z Use a fabric softener. z Wash using the [SOFT] program.
(P.34)
z For items that feel coarse after drying,
run the [DRY] > [FUZZY] program for an additional 30 minutes. (P.39)
z Increase the number of rinse cycles. (P.55) z Use the Water-Injection Rinse function. (P.55) z Decrease the amount of detergent. (P.26, 27)
To rinse thoroughly
To prevent color bleeding and darkening (P.94)
z Separate items that are likely to bleed color when washing. z Use the recommended amounts of detergent and softener.
Ú Insufficient amounts of detergent or excessive amounts softener may result in darkening. Ú Using liquid detergent can result in darkening. Try using a powder detergent.
How to load the laundry into the drum
Distribute the laundry evenly and avoid
concentration on one side.
Place the laundry behind the 5-Ply Liquid
Load Balancer.
z Failure to do so may cause the laundry to get
caught between the door and the door bellows, resulting in damage to the laundry and the door bellows. Place smaller items into the back of the drum first, and then load the remaining laundry.
z We recommend using the
optional washing cap.
5-Ply Liquid Load Balancer
Large items (sheets, cotton blankets, etc.), thick items (jeans,
sweatshirts, etc.), small loads, and mats of various types should be washed together with other laundry.
z Such items tend to gravitate to one side when washed alone, resulting in
excessive vibration and insufficient drying during the spin cycle. (P.79)
When drying a small load of laundry (about
1kg or less), place a dry towel together with the laundry.
z Small loads of laundry may result in insufficient
drying. Placing a dry towel or similar item together with the laundry will reduce unevenness in drying.
Do not overload the machine with laundry.
z Overflowing laundry may result in damage to the
laundry, door bellows, and plastic parts.
z It may also prolong drying times or produce uneven
washing and drying results.

To ensure smooth spinning operation
If laundry concentrates on one side, the machine will automatically even it out, prolonging the operation time and consuming more water in the process. In addition, excessive vibration may occur during the spin cycle, forcing the machine to stop during operation. Take note of the following to prevent this.
z Do not wash thick items (cotton blankets,
jeans, etc.) or items in mesh laundry bags alone.
z
Wash 2 to 3 thick items or mesh laundry bags at a time, or wash them together with other laundry.
z Place only delicate items (lingerie, brassieres,
stockings, etc.) and small items (socks, handkerchiefs, etc.) into the mesh laundry bags.
(P.18, 21)
Overstuffed bags may prevent smooth
spinning operation.

z We recommend drying clothes that are wrinkle-resistant.z Dry thick laundry and thin laundry separately.z Tie any strings before drying. In addition, reduce the number of shirts, pajamas, and similar items.
(This prevents tangling during operation.)
z Remove laundry after the spin cycle, and smooth out wrinkles caused by the spin cycle before
putting it back in to dry.
z Remove laundry immediately after the drying operation finishes. (If laundry is left in the drum, the
weight of other laundry may cause wrinkles.) Otherwise, use the Soft Guard operation. (P.69)

cases, remove the dispenser and clean it.
z Do not add excessive amounts of softener
(max.60mL). The softener may drain and come in direct contact with laundry, resulting in discoloration and darkening.
z Using detergents or softeners that are excessively
fragrant or thick or made from natural fats and oils may result in excessive fragrance after wash. In such cases, reduce the amount of detergent, or run the [TUB CLEAN] program. (P.52)
z If liquid detergent or softener comes into contact with
the top caps in the dispenser, it may cake and remain there. Avoid the caps when pouring.
z Open and close the detergent dispenser gently.
If the dispenser is opened too quickly, the water, detergent, bleach, or softener inside the dispenser may spill out. In addition, if liquid detergent spills into the softener inlet, the siphon effect may not occur and the softener may remain in the dispenser.
z Remove the detergent dispenser and clean the
dispenser connection port regularly (i.e., once per week). Accumulation of liquid detergent, softener, or bleach may cause malfunction of the machine and result in injuries. (P.75)
z If any liquid detergent, bleach, or softener remains on
the metal parts of the back side of the door or any plastic parts on the exterior of the machine, wipe it off immediately with a soft, damp cloth. Failure to do so may cause rust and deterioration of the machine parts and result in injuries.

Tips for removing stains
z If a laundry item stains, soak the item in a 1:3 ratio solution of detergent and water.
Ú If the above treatment does not remove the stain, use the following types of commercially available bleaches.
z Bleach can be broadly classified into oxidizing types and reducing types. Oxidizing types can be
further classified into chlorine-based and peroxide-based. Do not use chlorine-based bleach, except in the [TUB CLEAN] program, as doing so may result in malfunction of the machine. Each type of bleach can and cannot be used for certain types of laundry as follows, so be sure to check the instructions on the bleach’s packaging for proper use beforehand.
• Oxidizing type
Peroxide-based: Can be used for colored or patterned clothes; powder type cannot be used for wool or silk.
• Reducing type
Can be used for yellowing caused by iron in water, rust stains, and yellowing in shirt collar linings caused by chlorine-based bleach. Cannot be used for colored and patterned clothes.

Main body and drum
Clean the main body and drum whenever they are dirty.
z If there are water spots on the door and plastic parts, detergent or softener on the metallic parts, or the main
body of the machine is otherwise dirty, wipe the machine with a soft cloth. Failure to do so may result in rust and
damage. z If the glass on the inside of the door is dirty, wipe it with a damp cloth. z Do not splash water directly onto the machine. z Do not wipe benzene, thinner, cleaning powder, alkaline detergents, low alkaline detergents, wax, or other
substances onto the machine, and do not use coarse scrubbers. z Wipe off drum rust using a cream cleanser.
Do not use steel wool or other coarse scrubbers. z The stainless steel drum and the metallic areas surrounding the door are rust resistant, but rust may occur in the
following cases.
• When hairpins or other metal objects are left in the drum and are in direct contact with it for prolonged periods, or when water mixed with iron or rust particles is used.
• When chlorine-based bleach, detergent, or softener is left in the drum or on the metallic areas surrounding the door for prolonged periods.
z After an operation finishes, leftover water from the water supply pipeline may drip out of the injection inlet, so wipe
the area with a soft cloth.
z Wipe off lint and debris on the areas surrounding the door and
the door bellows, behind the door bellows, and inside the drum after each use. Lint and debris attached between the door and the door bellows may result in water leakage or adhere to laundry.
• If lint still adheres to laundry, run the [TUB CLEAN] program for 3 hours. (P.52) (Washing drum detergent is not required in such cases.)
z Condensation may occur on the areas surrounding the door
and door bellows depending on your environment. If this is a concern, wipe it off.
