Before You Start Washing
Preparation of the laundry
n Remove any foreign objects (coins, safety pins, etc.).
n Put delicate clothes (knits, lingerie, etc.) in a net.
n Remove large lumps of lint, mud, sand, hair, and pet hair from laundry.
n Tie strings and close fasteners.
Check the labelPut delicate clothes
in a net
Remove any foreign
objects
Knot the long strips,
zip or button
Separate colored and
white items
Sorting the laundry
n Sort laundry according to the type of fabric and care label symbols (cottons, blended fabrics, synthetics,
wool, hand washable items, etc.).
n Do not wash extremely small loads, such as only a pair of jeans.
The clothes may become off balance and cause abnormal vibration during the spin cycle.
n Separate colored and white items.
Risk of injury!
Do not wash the following items, through which water does not fl ow easily, because doing so creates
abnormal vibration during the spin cycle and could cause injury or malfunction.
– Waterproof items, such as a wet suit, ski suit, shower curtain, etc.
– Items with non-slip rubber backing, such as door mats.
– Cushions, pillows, shoes, etc.
Detergents and additives
n Use an appropriate amount of detergent according to the Detergent indicator on the washing machine.
The type and amount of detergent depend on the type of fabric, volume, load size, degree of soiling,
and hardness of the water used.
Use less detergent if:
– The load is small.
– The laundry is not very dirty.
n Too much detergent can result in excess foam, which reduces rinse effi ciency or may cause a water
leak.
n Depending on the detergent brand, detergent may not dissolve completely in the detergent tray if the
water pressure is low or the water is too cold.
Page 24: Care and Maintenance
n When using softeners or bleaches, follow the instructions on the package.
n Detergent remained in drain route may be caused by quality of water or type of detergent. In case of
repeatedly using under this condition, it may cause washer trouble.
* In case of unstable water pressure while washing machine working, it may cause the water remaining in
Detergent and Softener box.

List of Programs
n The wash time and the spin time may change during the program depending on the weight and type of
laundry being washed.
n The required times are guidelines. More time may be required than is noted here depending on the water
pressure and the type of laundry.
n Programs cannot be changed after they are started. To change them, turn the power off and then on
again, then select a program.
n When the Auto Self Clean function is running, about 14 more minutes and 10 more liters of water are
needed.
n We do not recommend using fabric softener when the Water Save program is selected.
n The Water Save program cycle is the recommended program cycle for a normally soiled load of laundry
at the rated capacity.
n Spin Shower Rinse* is used in the Normal and Energy Save programs to enhance water-saving
performance without compromising the effi ciency of rinsing.
* Spin Shower Rinse: A powerful shower and centrifugal force rinse out detergent more eff ectively.
n The clear part of the lid and control panel may become foggy or may form dew on the edge of lid if you
use hot water to wash your laundry, however, this is not abnormal. Wipe it off after washing your laundry.
n It has the potential not to be enough for max load according to the kind of clothes.
n Even if you set the delay timer, it may start soon according to the required time of the program.
n Water fl ow is adjusted automatically according to the amount of load and water level. When loads are
heavy and water level are high, water fl ow is adjusted at slower rate to maintain the performance of
washer.
n Amount of detergent is indicated according to following table as a guide.

How to Install the Washing Machine
Safety precautions
n Do not use a damaged power plug, doing so is dangerous. Contact a repair center that is certifi ed by the
manufacturer to replace the plug.
n If the outlet you are using is a 2-pin outlet, use an adapter to change from three pins to two pins. If
you do this, be sure to connect an earth wire. There are risk of electric shock, electronic substrate and
electronic parts damage if you do not connect an earth wire.
n Do not connect an earth wire to a gas pipe, telephone wire, water pipe, or lightning rod. Remove the
power plug from the electric outlet when you are attaching an earth wire.
n You do not need to attach an earth wire if the electric outlet is a 3-pin type with earth terminal.
Where to install the washing machine
n The hoses may be damaged or rupture if they freeze. Do not install the washing machine outside or any
other place where there is a risk of freezing.
n Install the washing machine on a solid level fl oor to avoid excessive vibration and noise.
n Do not install the washing machine in an extremely humid place, such as a bathroom or a place exposed
to rain.
n Do not install the washing machine in a slippery or unstable location. Doing so could cause abnormal
vibration.
n Install the washing machine away from walls as shown below to avoid abnormal noise and vibration.

How to Install the Washing Machine
Installing the drain hose
1 Lay the washing machine down on its back.
2 Pull the drain hose out of the washing machine.
3 Insert the narrow part of the drain hose into the clamp on the washing machine.
4 Stand the washing machine up.
5 Insert the end of the drain hose into the drain channel.
n Do not allow the drain hose to be bent, twisted, pulled out and damaged, stepped on, or crimped.
n Spread a cloth on the ground before laying the washing machine down on its back to prevent damaging
it.
n Use a knife to cut the end of the drain hose at a 45 degree angle because if the drain channel is shallow
and the end of the drain hose is blocked, it could cause a malfunction.
n Keep the top of the drain hose no more than 10 cm above the fl oor if it crosses a door sill or something
else. If it is higher than this, the water has diffi culty draining and a "C2" error (water does not drain) may
occur.
n Do not extend the drain hose more than 2 meters from the washing machine.
