Using Anti-Slip Sheets

This feature may vary depending on the model purchased.

If you install the appliance on a slippery surface, it may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect levelling may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the antislip sheets under the levelling feet and adjust the level.

Clean the floor to attach the anti-slip sheets.

NOTE

global_main.book.book Page 13 Tuesday, January 5, 2021 1:24 PM

• Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects and moisture. If moisture remains, the anti-slip sheets may slip.

Adjust the level after placing the appliance in the installation area.

Place the adhesive side a of the anti-slip sheets on the floor.

• The most effective way is to install the antislip sheets under the front feet. If it is difficult to place the sheets under the front feet of the appliance, attach them under the rear feet.

INSTALLATION

• Do not overtighten the water supply hose or use mechanical devices to tighten onto the inlet valves.

• No further backflow protection required for connection to the water inlet.

Checking the Rubber Seal

Two rubber seals a are supplied with the water supply hose. They are used to prevent water leaks. Connection to taps is sufficiently tight.

• Do not use mechanical devices such as multi grips to tighten the water supply hose. Ensure that the curved end of the water supply hose is connected to the appliance.

OPERATION

Preparing the Wash Load

Sort the wash load for best washing results, and then prepare the clothes according to the symbols on their care labels.

Sorting the Clothes

• For best washing results, sort your clothes according to the care label stating fabric type and washing temperature. Adjust the spin speed or spin intensity in accordance with the fabric type.

• Soil level (Heavy, Normal, Light): Separate clothes according to soil level. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.

• Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Wash dark or dyed clothes separately from whites or light colours. Mixing dyed clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discolouration of lighter clothes.

• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash separately lint producing fabrics from lint collecting fabrics. Lint producers can result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors.

• The dashes under the symbol give you information about the type of fabric and the maximum allowance of mechanical stress.

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.

Checking the Clothes Care Label

The symbols tell you about the fabric content of your garment and how it should be washed.
