|
• 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. If bulky |
|
|
||||
|
light weight items are loaded, then it may be necessary to increase the water level manually. |

|
|
|
|
||
|
The washer has the ability to detect the weight of the clothes to determine the appropriate water level, but cannot detect |
||||||
|
the volume of clothes, therefore it will be necessary to increase the water level manually to avoid linting and tangling |
||||||
|
when washing bulky light weight loads. |

|
|
|
|
||||
|
|
|
|
||||
|
• The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and therefore, the cleaning results. |
||||||
|
We recommend temperatures of: |
|
|
|
|
||
|
- HOT 49~60°C |
White items, nappies underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items. |
|||||
|
- WARM 29~40°C |
Most items |
|
|
|
|
- COLD* 18~24°C 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 will not activate laundry additives and may cause linting & soap residue, poor cleaning, etc. In addition, Detergent manufactures and care labels define COLD water as 26~29°C.
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 a water softener or an iron filter may be necessary for severe cases.
Using Dispenser Drawer
Using the Dispenser Drawer
• 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.
NOTE : Do not use bleach in the dispenser drawer. Powdered detergent should only be used in the soap dispenser compartment. 10 For optimum results, it may be necessary to dilute the Liquid Fabric softener before adding it to the softener dispenser.
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 that 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 powdered detergent to the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.
The dispenser drawer MUST ALWAYS be in place before you start your washer
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 the clothes.
11
Use ofWater, Dispenser Drawer, Detergent, Bleach and Softener
Using Liquid Bleach |
|
• Check clothing care label for special instructions and separate the |
Bleach dispenser |
laundry to be bleached |
|
• Dilute liquid chlorine bleach.
• Measure the recommended amount of liquid bleach carefully following instructions on the bottle.
• Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach dispenser. Avoid splashing or overfilling. Powdered bleach should be mixed with water before pouring.
NOTE
Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket. ■ This may cause change of color or damage the laundry.
■ Do not pour powdered 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 22 or 36)
• 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 with a thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute to a build-up.
