reparation before washing
P
1. Care Labels
Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your
garment and how it should be washed.
2. Sorting
To get the best results, Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.
Water temperature and spin speed and different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.
Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint
transfer can occur causing discoloration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily
soiled items with lightly soiled one.
Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
Color (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
Lint (Lint Producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors
separately.
3. Check before loading
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more
than half the total wash load.
Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.
• Check all the pockets to make sure
that they are empty. Things such
as nails, hair clip, matches, pens,
coins, and keys can damage both
your washer and your clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks, and strings
to make sure that these items don’t
snag on other clothes.
• Pre-treat dirt and stains by
brushing a little detergent dissolved
in water onto stains like collars and
cuffs to help shift dirt.

dding detergent
A
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing
of the fabric softener which could stain
clothes.
• Do not leave the fabric softener in the
detergent drawer for more than 2 days.
(Fabric softener could harden)
• Softener will automatically be added
during last rinse cycle.
• Do not open the drawer when water is
supplied.
• Solvents (benzene, etc.) are not
allowable.
1. The Dispenser Drawer
• The detergent should be used according to the
instruction of the detergent manufacture.
• If too much detergent is used more than the
recommended amount, too many suds can
occur and this will decrease the washing result
or cause heavy load to the motor, causing a
malfunction.
• Use powder detergent only for the front
loading washer.
• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted
for water temperature, water hardness,
size, and soil level of the load. For best
results, avoid oversudsing.
• Detergent is dispensed at the beginning of
the cycle.
4. Detergent usage
• Do not open the detergent drawer during
water fill cycle.
• Bleach will be dispensed automatically
after the detergent has had time to work.
• Do not fill past MAX indicator.

3. Drying guide
• Your dryer can handle a load of up to 3 kg dry
weight of articles.
• When loading, shake out each handful of
clothes so that they can tumble freely.
Items should not be loaded in a tangled
condition, as this will lengthen the drying time.
Woolen Articles
- Do not tumble dry woolen articles. Pull them
to their original shape, and dry them flat.
Woven and Loopknit Materials
- Some woven and loopknit materials may
shrink, by varying amounts, depending on
their quality.
- Always stretch them out immediately after
drying.
Permanent Press and Synthetics
- Do not overload your dryer
- Take out permanent press articles an soon as
the dryer stops to reduce wrinkles.
Fiber or Leather Materials
- Always check the manufacture’s instructions.
Baby Clothes and Night Gowns
- Always check the manufacture’s instructions.
Rubber and Plastics
- Do not dry any items made from or containing
rubber or plastics, such as:
a) aprons, bibs, chair covers
b) curtains and tablecloths
c) bathmats
Fiberglass
- Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer.
Glass particles left in the dryer could be picked
up by your clothes the next time you use the
dryer and irritate your skin.
1. Drying Automatic guide
• Use your Automatic Cycles to dry most
loads. Electronic sensors measure the
temperature of the exhaust to increase or
decrease drying temperatures for faster
reaction time and tigher temperature control.
• If a load is not as dry as you like, complete
drying using a time cycle.
NOTE
The Estimated drying time varies
from the actual drying time with
an Automatic. The type of fabric,
size of the load, and the dryness
selected affect drying time.

Wash/Rinse Temperature.
• Press TEMP. to cycle through the
temperature choices.
• Select a water temperature based on
the type of load you are washing. Use
the warmest water safe for fabrics.
Follow garment label instructions.
• Warm rinses leave the loads dryer than cold rinses. Warm
rinses increase wrinkling. In cold climates, a warm rinse
makes the load mere comfortable to handle. Cold rinses
save energy.
• Warm rinses are regulated at approximately 75˚ F (24˚ C).
This is a cooler warm rinse than you are used to, but it
saves energy and gives proper rinsing. The load is a
comfortable temperature remove from the washer.
