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.
Do not overfill with detergent. Failure
to observe this may result in the
detergent blocking the water supply,
causing the water to overflow from
the front of the detergent drawer and
leading to malfunctions.

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.

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.

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 hose may be frozen. (P.32) -
The water supply may be disrupted. -
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. -
If the laundry gets tangled up, untangle it. -

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.
