Inverter Direct Drive system

The advanced Brushless DC motor directly drives the drum without belt and pulley.

Low noise speed control system

By sensing the amount of load and balance, it evenly distributes load to minimize the spinning noise level.

Child Lock

The Child Lock prevents children from pressing any button to change the settings during operation.

More economical with Intelligent Wash system

Intelligent Wash System detects the size of load and water temperature, and then determines the optimum water level and washing time to minimize energy and water consumption.

Built-in heater

Internal heater automatically heats the water to the best temperature on selected cycles.

Protection against creases

With the alternating rotation of the drum, creasing is minimized.

6 Motion

Washer is able to perform various drum actions or a combination of different actions depending on the wash program selected. Combined with a controlled spin speed and the ability of the drum to rotate both left and right, the wash performance of the machine is greatly improved, giving you perfect results every time.

CAUTION concerning the Power cord

Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of this owner's manual to be certain.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in an electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer. Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.

CAUTION
