Before You Start Washing
■
Remove any foreign objects (coins, safety pins, etc.).
■
Put delicate clothes (knits, lingerie, etc.) in a net.
■
Remove large lumps of lint, mud, sand, hair, and pet hair from laundry.
■
Tie strings and close fasteners.
■
Sort laundry according to the type of fabric and care label symbols
(cottons, blended fabrics, synthetics, wool, hand washable items, etc.).
■
Do not wash extremely small loads, such as only a pair of jeans.
ÆThe clothes may become off balance and cause abnormal vibration
during the spin cycle.
■
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.
■
Use an appropriate amount of detergent according to the water level 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.
■
Too much detergent can result in excess foam, which reduces rinse
effi ciency or may cause a water leak.
■
Depending on the detergent brand, detergent may not dissolve
completely if the water pressure is low or the water is too cold.
■
When using softeners or bleaches, follow the instructions on the
package.
■
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.

■
The wash time and the spin time may change during the program depending on the weight and type
of laundry being washed.
■
The required times are guidelines. More time may be required than is noted here depending on the
water pressure and the type of laundry.
■
Programs cannot be changed after they are started. To change them, turn the power off and then on
again, then select a program.
■
We do not recommend using fabric softener when the Water Save program is selected.
■
The Water Save program cycle is the recommended program cycle for a normally soiled load of
laundry at the rated capacity.
■
Spin Shower Rinse* is used in the Fuzzy program 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 effectively.
■
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.
■
It has the potential not to be enough for max load according to the kind of clothes.
■
Even if you set the delay timer, it may start soon according to the required time of the program.
■
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.
■
Amount of detergent is indicated according to following table as a guide.
List of Programs
* Detergent is based on a single 35-gram scoop of powder detergent.
The amount of detergent is based on a type of 20-gram per 30-liter.
Since the required amount of detergent varies depending on the type of detergent, follow the
instructions on the package of detergent.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible cause
Does not operate ● The power plug is not inserted in the power outlet.
● There is a power outage.
● The Delay Timer has been set.
It is wet, even though it is
the fi rst time to use it (drain
hose, tub, etc.)
● There may be moisture or water left in the tub or hoses from the
performance test before shipping from the factory.
The remaining time
increases during operation
● The remaining time is adjusted to compensate for the speed of the
incoming water.
Water is added again
during the washing process
● Water is added automatically up to the set water level if the water
level falls because water is absorbed by the laundry.
Wash time is longer than
the time that was set
manually
● If the water pressure is low, the operating time may increase due to a
longer water supply time.
The washing machine
stops during the spin cycle
and starts adding water
● If the laundry is extremely off balance when the spin cycle starts, the
spin cycle stops and the rinse cycle starts to rebalance the laundry.
After the load is rebalanced, the spin cycle starts again.
During the spin cycle, the
tub spins increasingly faster
● This is to more effi ciently remove water.
Sound of water is heard
when the tub moves
● That is the sound of water in the Liquid Load Balancer, which is used
for balancing when the tub is spinning.
The lid does not open
● When the lid lock indicator is lit, the lid is locked and cannot be
opened.
● The lid is locked and cannot be opened because there was a power
outage or the power was turned off while the lid lock indicator was lit.
Turn on the power and wait for the lock to be released.
The strength of water fl ow
does not change in spite of
changing the indicator
● It may not change the strength of water fl ow according to the process
and the load amount. It is not abnormal.

Safety
precautions
■
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.
■
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 is a risk of electric shock if you do not connect an earth
wire.
■
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.
■
You do not need to attach an earth wire if the electric outlet is a 3-pin
type with earth terminal.
■
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.
■
Install the washing machine on a solid level fl oor to avoid excessive
vibration and noise.
■
Do not install the washing machine in an extremely humid place, such
as a bathroom or a place exposed to rain.
■
Do not install the washing machine in a slippery or unstable location.
Doing so could cause abnormal vibration.
■
Install the washing machine away from walls as shown below to avoid
