Checking the Clothes before
Loading
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first.
• Large items should not be more than half of the
total wash load. Do not wash single items. This
may cause an unbalanced load. Add one or two
similar items.
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches,
pens, coins and keys can damage both your
appliance and clothes.
• Wash delicates (stockings, underwired bras) in a
wash net.
• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure
that these items do not snag on other clothes.
• Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a small
amount of detergent dissolved water onto stains
to help lift dirt.

the detergent overflowing into another
compartment or dispensing into the drum
earlier than programmed.
• Be careful not to get a hand caught in the
drawer while closing.
• It is normal for a small amount of water to
remain in the dispenser compartments at
the end of the cycle.

maximum fill line can cause it to dispense too
early, which may stain the clothes.
• Do not pour fabric softener directly onto the
clothes in the wash drum, doing so will cause
dark staining on the clothes that will be difficult
to remove.
• Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent
drawer for more than 1 day. Fabric softener may
harden. Softener may remain in the dispenser if
it is too thick. The softener should be diluted if
the consistency is too thick so that it can flow
easily.
• Do not open the drawer when water is being
supplied during the wash.
• Solvents (benzene, etc.) must never be used.
Adding Water Softener
A water softener, such as anti-limescale can be
used to cut down on the use of detergent in areas
with high water hardness level.
• First add detergent, and then the water softener.
Dispense according to the amount specified on
the packaging.
Adding Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets can also be used when washing.
1
Open the door and put detergent tablets into
the drum before loading the clothes.
2
Load the clothes into the drum and close the
door.
• Do not put tablets into the dispenser.
