Washing Programme

Wash programmes are designed for the best wash performance for different types of clothes.

xPress the Program button to select the desired programme.

xWhen you select a wash programme, the light for the corresponding wash programme will turn on.

Normal

Use this programme to wash normal laundry. The built-in sensor detects the weight of the laundry, calculating wash, rinse and, spin settings accordingly.

xIf water or wet laundry is already in the drum before the start, the water level will be increased.

xFor lightweight and bulky items, the water level may be too low. Increase the water level manually.

Wool

Use this programme to wash delicate fabrics such as lingerie and woollens. Before washing, check the care label for the washing instructions.

xThis programme uses a slow spin to prevent the clothes from being damaged, so the laundry has more moisture than normal.

NOTE

xHang or lay your delicates flat when you dry them.

xOnly cold water will be used for this programme as hot water may damage laundry.

Duvet

Use this programme to wash a blanket or bedclothes that have the hand wash sign on the care label.

xCashmere bedclothes, acrylic blanket, mixed spinning blanket, woollen blanket, infilling (polyester 101), and bed sheets might be damaged if they are allowed to float. It is recommended to purchase a separate laundry net to wash.

xSeparate bed clothes from general clothes. It might cause laundry to be unbalanced, which results in abnormal washing.

xSpin dry might take longer to redistribute the laundry evenly if bedclothes are lumped to a side.

xNever wash an electric blanket, carpets, rugs or shoes. It can cause damage to the appliance and other items in the wash.

xPut bedclothes into a laundry net and then soak and sink them in water so that they are less likely to float. If the items float during the wash or spin, it may damage the appliance and the clothes.

xRegardless of size, we recommend washing bedclothes individually. If two bedclothes with different materials are washed at the same time, it might cause a spin malfunction due to imbalance.

CAUTION

xWhen putting a blanket into the drum, do not load it over the maximum line a. The blanket must also be submerged in the water. Failure to do so or overloading the blanket in the appliance will result in damage to the wash load and the appliance.
