The fibers of machine washable woolens have been specifically modified to prevent felting when they are machine washed. Most handknitted garments are not made of machine washable wool and we recommend that you hand wash them

• Before washing your woolens check the care label for the washing instructions.

• When washing woolens use a mild Detergent recommended for washing wool.

• Hand washed woolens may be spun in a washing machine to reduce the time they take to dry.

• To dry woolens lay down them flat on a towel and pat into shape. Dry woolens out of direct sunlight. (The heat and tumble action of a dryer may cause shrinkage or felting of woolen garments.) Some wool underlays and sheepskin products can be washed in a washing machine but may cause pump blockages. (Ensure that the whole article is suitable for machine washing and not just the backing material.) You may wish to handwash these articles and place them in the machine to spin dry.

Washing according to the condition of laundry

Quick Wash Quick Wash can be selected to wash lightly soiled clothes of less than 3.0 kg in a short time. (refer to page 16)

notCAUTIONwash or spin any item labeled or known to be water-proof or water-resistant, even if the product care label on the item permits machine washing. Failure to follow these instructions could result in severe damage to your laundry, your washer and/or property damage as a result of abnormal vibration of the washer.

- Examples of water-proof or water-resistant items include certain mattress pads, mattress covers, rain gear, camping gear, skiing apparel , outdoor gear and similar items.

othes.

In case of heavily soiled clothes, pretreatment may require before the cycle.

• Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pre-wash product or liquid Detergent when placing them in the washer. Before washing treat special stains with bar soaps, liquid Detergent or a paste of water and granular Detergent.

• Use a pretreat soil and stain remover.

Treat stains AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The longer they are left the harder they are to remove. (For more detail refer to page13)

	Light and Large-sized clothing
	Clothes like downs and woollens are light weight, large and float easily. Use a nylon net and
	wash them in a small amount of water. If the laundry floats during the wash cycle, it may
	become damaged. Use dissolved Detergent to prevent the Detergent from clumping.
	Long laundry items
	Use nylon nets for long, DELICATE items. For laundry with long strings or long length, a net will
	prevent tangling during washing. Fasten zippers, hook, and strings to make sure that these items don't

Use ofWater, Dispenser Drawer, Detergent, Bleach and Softener

Using Water

	Amount of WATER		LEVEL
	and proper amount of Detergent.			f laundry automatically, then sets the Water Level
	• When you select a wash program, the Water Level will be shown on the control panel.
	• The following table shows the amount of water.
	• When the Water Level is automatically detected, it may differ depending on the quantity
	of laundry even though the same Water Level is indicated on the control panel.
	NOTE
	[ Minimum water amount ]
	It depends on laundry load and washer model. Or manually you can pour a certain amount water into tub directly to
	some height. That’s because if water level reaches to the some height sensed by washer itself, washer automatically
	operates. In other words, it is needed to pour water to the point when washer starts operating.
	Water Temperature
				erature automatically according to the wash program .
	• The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and therefore, the cleaning results.
	We recommend temperatures of:			White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.
	- HOT 49~60°C…(120-140˚F)
	- WARM 29~40°C…(85-105˚F)			Most items

- COLD* 18~24°C…(65-75˚F) Only very bright colors with light soil.

• When washing in COLD water additional steps may be needed:

- Adjust Detergent amount and pre-dissolve Detergent in WARM water - Pretreat spots and stains

- Soak heavily soiled items - Use appropriate bleach

* Temperature below 18°C…(65˚F) will not activate laundry additives and may cause lint, residue, poor cleaning, etc. In addition, Detergent manufactures and care labels define COLD water as 26~29°C…(80-85˚F).

If the temperature of the water in the tub is too cold for your hands, the Detergent will not activate and clean effectively.

NOTE

If iron is present in the water the clothes may become an all-over yellow or they may be stained with brown or orange spots or streaks. Iron is not always visible. Installation of water softener or an iron filter may be necessary for severe cases.

Using Dispenser Drawer

Using the Dispenser Drawer

The dispenser drawer contains 2 compartments:

• Liquid Fabric Softener

• Liquid or Powder Low-Sudsing, High-Efficiency Detergent

The dispenser automatically dispenses additives at the proper time in the wash cycle. 1. Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling the drawer out until it stops.

2. After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing of additives.

• Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding laundry products to the dispenser. Doing so could result in early dispensing of laundry products.

At the end of the cycle, you may see water in the compartments. This is part of the normal operation of the washer.

10 NOTE : Do not use bleach in the dispenser drawer.

Using Detergent

Detergent

Follow the Detergent package directions. Using too little Detergent is a common cause of laundry problems. Use more Detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils or lower Water Temperature.

Choosing the right Detergent

We recommend the use of domestic Detergent, (powder, liquid or concentrated). Soap flakes or granulated soap powders should not be used in your washing machine. When washing woolens remember to use Detergent suitable for washing woolens.

How much Detergent

The correct amount of Detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes (Jeans and work clothes may need more Detergent, while bath towels usually need less.).

For liquid and concentrated Detergents, follow the recommendations of the Detergent manufacturer.

Note: To check you are using the correct amount of Detergent, lift the lid of your machine about half-way through the wash. There should be a thin layer of foam over the surface of the water. Lots of foam may look good, but it does not contribute to cleaning your clothes. No foam means not enough Detergent has been used; soil and lint can settle back on the clothes or the washing machine. If excess Detergent is used, the rinse will not be as clean and efficient. Also, it could cause environmental pollution, so use it accordingly.

Adddding Detergent

measured detergent to the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.

Detergent is flushed through the dispenser at the beginning of the wash phase.

Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. Avoid using too much detergent in your washer, as it can lead to oversudsing and detergent residue being left on the clothes.

Note : Using Liquid detergent

- Dilute Liquid detergent with water and pour into the tub, start the cycle. - Delay wash course is not available if you use liquid detergent.

Attention

Using liquid detergent without diluting, or leaving laundry for a long time after pouring diluted liquid detergent into the tub might cause damage, bleaching or discoloration of cloth.

11

Use ofWater, Dispenser Drawer, Detergent, Bleach and Softener

Using Bleach Check fabric care labels for special instructions.

AVAILABLE BLEACH TYPE

•Do not use liquid bleach.

•For more details refer to the products instruction for use.

DEPOSITING BLEACH

• Separate the laundry to be bleached.

• Measure powdered bleach carefully, following instructions on the box.

• Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach following instructions on the box.

Attention

Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket. ■ This may affect colors or damage clothing.

Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. ■ Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.

■ Do not pour liquid bleach into bleach dispenser.

Using Fabric Softener

If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the right-hand compartment. Use only liquid fabric softener.

Dilute with water to the maximum fill line.

• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric

softener, which could stain clothes.

NOTE : Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load. It may stain the clothes.

Attention

Do not mix with Detergent or bleach.

■ Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them. ■ Do not stop the washer during the first spin for timely dispensing.

■

■ Option washing is not designed to be used with fabric softener dispenser.

Scrud(Waxy Build up)

Scrud is the name given to the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when the fabric softener comes into contact with Detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault in the machine.

If scrud is allowed to build-up in the machine it can result in stains on your clothes or an unpleasant smell in your washer.

If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend

• Using fabric softener sparingly.

• When filling the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.

• Clean dispenser as soon as the cycle is finished.

• Clean your machine regularly. (refer to page 23 or 34)

• Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend a regular WARM or HOT wash e.g. every 5th wash should be at least a warm one.

12 • Fabric softener of thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute to a build-up.

Special Guide for Stain Removal

		WARNING
■ Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach with other household chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust removers, acid or
products containing ammonia. These mixtures can produce dangerous fumes which can cause serious injury or death.
