Before Washing
Checking before use
For the appliance’s initial operation or after a prolonged period of non-operation, perform the following procedures:
Secure the water supply hose.1.
Turn on the tap.2.
Connect the power supply.3.
Make sure that the water drain hose 4. is positioned towards a drain.
For more details, see page 41.
Before initial use
Before using the appliance for the first time, run the 40 ºC Cotton programme WITHOUT any detergent or clothing to rinse out residue or moisture.
Note
There may be residual water in the appliance due to the factory inspection prior to shipment. This is not a malfunction.
Preparing the laundry
Sorting the laundry
Read clothing care labels to sort the ­laundry into different loads.
Sort the laundry by colour, type of fabric ­and how soiled it is. Doing so will help you choose the correct programme and temperature for each wash.
Clothes that are not colour fast should ­be washed separately. Wash denim separately.
You should put bras with metal wires, ­tights, lace clothing and small items into a laundry net to prevent them or the appliance from being damaged.
Caution
Do NOT wash water-repellent clothing.
There is a possibility of excessive vibration or failure during the spin­drying cycle that may result in an injury, damage to the appliance or a water leak.
Treating stains
Apply stain remover to stained portions. For dirt and solid stains, wash lightly by hand first.
Checking clothing
Check that the pockets on clothing ­do not contain any objects that may damage the clothes or the appliance.
Tie up any loose strings on the clothing ­and close zippers. Turn clothing with raised fabrics and zippers inside out. Otherwise, the clothes may be damaged.
Remove any hair, animal fur, sand and ­other materials with a brush before washing.
Note
Do not wash clothes heavily stained with large quantities of vegetable oil or cosmetic oil (aroma oil, etc.). Failure to observe this may result in the door seal swelling, causing the water to overflow and leading to malfunctions.

Adding Detergent and Other Chemicals
Pull out the detergent drawer and add detergent or softener to the correct compartment. Check the packages for the recommended amounts.
Caution
Do NOT use the appliance when the detergent drawer is removed.
This may result in a water leak.
Detergent compartment
The following detergents and additives may be added to this compartment:
Detergent ­Water softening agent ­Stain remover ­Tub cleaning detergent or bleach -
If you use multiple chemicals in this compartment for washing, add them in the following order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softening agent
3. Stain remover
Detergent
Use only detergents that are recommended for fully-automated washing machines. Please use low suds detergents.
When you use a detergent specifically for slightly lower temperature than 20 °C (as low as 15 °C), the 20 °C Wash programme is recommended.
Caution
If the instructions on the package indicate that detergent should be placed in the drum, do NOT put it into the detergent drawer.
These detergents may not flow well and remain in the detergent drawer.

Adding Detergent and Other Chemicals
Liquid detergent1.
Note
Do NOT use liquid detergent with the ­Prewash function. It may flow away during the prewash.
Add liquid detergent before you start ­washing.
Fit the liquid detergent level plate (included with the accessories) into the detergent compartment and use it as a mark to set the amount of liquid detergent. Make sure to detach the plate before running the programme.
Note
Leaving the liquid detergent level plate in the detergent drawer while the programme is running may result in water leakage, or diminished washing and spinning performance.
For the Wool programme, use mild liquid detergent.
Powdered detergent2.
Detergent reaches the drum only when water flushes through the detergent drawer. Thus, if you have forgotten to add detergent, run the Drain programme.
Then, add detergent and start washing again.
To prevent powdered detergent from remaining in the drawer, perform the following:
Dry the inside of the drawer with a cloth. ­Make sure that the detergent is not -
lumpy when you add it because this may cause a blockage over time.
Amount of Detergent
The amount of detergent you should use depends on the following factors:
How soiled the laundry is ­Amount of the laundry ­Water hardness -
The amount of foam varies according to the amount and type of detergent, how soiled the laundry is, and the hardness and temperature of the water.
Water softening agent
If you live in a hard water area, we recommend using a water softening agent. For more details on water hardness, contact your local water authority.
Use of a water softening agent can help reduce the amount of detergent required for each wash and help prevent the formation of limescale deposits, which may damage the appliance.

Softener compartment
The following additives may be added to this compartment:
Fabric softener ­Laundry starch -
Fabric Softener
To prevent static, add softener before you start washing. It will be automatically added in the final rinse cycle.
Dilute concentrated softeners before you add them. Add up to only 125 ml to the compartment to avoid overflowing.
Rinse out the remaining softener with a splash of water or a damp cloth after washing. If it sticks to the compartment, pull out the drawer and clean it out. (P.30-31)
Note
Follow the directions on the softener packages for the appropriate amounts. If too much softener is added, it may remain in the detergent drawer.
Laundry starch
Simply add laundry starch to the softener compartment. It will be automatically added to the clothing in the final rinsing process. Make sure that you do not fill the compartment over the MAX level.
If it is hard to pour, dilute the starch slightly with water before adding it.

Washing
Press the Start button.6.
The appliance starts supplying water after draining.
Note
Whenever you start washing, the ­process display flashes to show which function is in progress.
Before any programme is started, the ­appliance first drains out any water.
The buzzer will sound and “END” will flash on the display when the programme has finished, and the door will unlock immediately.
Caution
After a high temperature wash, be careful to not burn yourself when handling the laundry or touching the inside of the drum.
Note
If the detergent is not completely ­removed from the laundry by using the basic programme, use the Extra Rinse function.
If the load is big, the laundry may ­stick to the inside of the drum. This is normal.
Leave the appliance door open ­to allow the drum to dry out after removing the laundry.
Remove the laundry and rearrange ­where necessary. Do not leave it in the drum too long after the programme ends to prevent colour transfer.
Required time
Required time depends on the programme and temperature setting.
Actual time may differ slightly from the ­displayed time.
The displayed time includes the time ­needed for the water to fill up and to drain out, thus they vary depending on water pressure, drainage and amount of laundry.
If the laundry in the drum needs to ­be balanced, eg to facilitate smooth spinning, the time will be extended.
Setting the buzzer
To turn on or turn off the buzzer which sounds when the programme has finished, follow these instructions.
Simultaneously press and hold the Temperature and Time buttons for at least 3 seconds.
The buzzer setting will be turned off after a beep is heard. The buzzer setting will be turned on after two beeps are heard.

Tips for washing delicates
Putting laundry in the drum
Pile items one on top of each other.
Detergents
For wool items, use a mild liquid ­detergent. Other detergents may damage the clothes.
With Wool and Hand Wash ­programmes, you may need to use the Extra Rinse function to remove excess detergent from the laundry. (P.28)
Hanging the laundry
Hang out white or light-coloured wool ­and nylon items away from direct heat or sunlight.
After washing, lay out wool and nylon ­clothes, and return them to their normal shape before hanging in the shade. This will help to reduce the ironing time.
Hang wool items with creases smoothed ­out, or spread them out to dry.
Use hangers for shirts, blouses and ­trousers. Wrap a towel around the hanger to approximate the clothing’s shoulder width so that it will retain its shape as it dries.
If clothing shrinks in the wash
Spread the item out to its original size on an ironing board. Use dress pins to hold the size and shape. Then, use an iron to steam it and leave it to dry.

The water supply filter may be clogged. (P.31) -
There is only a small amount of water.
If you have paused the washing and then restart it, the ­appliance may drain out some water. Do NOT pour water in through the door.
Water builds up during the wash process.
This is normal; water is automatically supplied if the ­amount of water has decreased. For heavy loads, the water may fill up repeatedly.
Rinse/Spin
No water flows into the appliance during the rinse process.
Before rinsing, the appliance spins to drain out remaining ­water. The water will fill up after that.
Rinsing begins before the spin process finishes.
After washing, excess foam may remain, so the water is ­drained out and refilled to wash it away. This feature is called foam detection.
During spin-dry, the drum stops and rotates several times.
This is normal; the appliance has detected that the load ­is not balanced and is trying to re-distribute the clothes within the drum to correct it.
Foam and water remain in the door or door seal.
Although some foam and water may remain depending ­upon the state of the laundry and the amount of detergent used, rinse performance is unaffected.
The spin process repeatedly starts and stops.
This is normal; intermittent spinning of the tub helps the ­spin process to operate quietly.
The laundry may be too light. If so, add one or two bath ­towels.
The laundry is still wet after the spin process finishes.
The unit detected an out of balance load but was not able ­to correct it automatically.
If the laundry is too light, add one or two bath towels. -

Leak-proof System
The appliance is installed with a system that is designed to prevent water leaks. The system includes the following components:
1) Aquastop system If a water leak is detected in the water inlet hose, the system stops supplying water automatically. This system is only functions with hoses with water supply valves.
2) Overflow detection If water in the appliance increases to a certain level, this function stops the water supply and activates the drain pump.
Water drain hose
Caution
Do NOT twist, pull out, or bend the ­drain hose.
Do NOT use joints to extend the ­water drain hose.
Draining to a sink or wash-basin
Caution
The water drain hose must be ­removed from the hook on the rear side of the appliance before the appliance is operated.
If the water drain hose is close to the appliance, the hose may come in contact with the appliance and generate noise during the spin cycle because of vibrations.
Secure the water drain hose so ­that it will not come out of the basin.
Do NOT block the drain outlet of ­the basin. Make sure that drainage into the drain is sufficient.
Do NOT let the tip of the ­water drain hose dip into the drained water.
This can cause water to flow back into the appliance.
