Laundry Tips

How to dissolve

1. Fill the washing machine tub with water one level below the water level that will be used. (For low water level setting, the same water level will be used.)

2. Add the powdered detergent and let the machine run for about 3 minutes.

3. Put the laundry in and begin washing at the desired level. Set the [Water Level] button.

Dissolving hard-to-dissolve detergent

1. Pour 5 liters of water at about 30°C into a container.

2. Dissolve the detergent by adding it little by little while churning the water.

•

In order to keep it from hardening or sticking, mix it well and dissolve it, then pour it into the washing tub.

How to use powdered detergent

[Warning]

• Powdered detergent is not easily dissolved compared to synthetic detergent, be certain to rinse thoroughly. If it is not rinsed well laundry may be tinged with yellow or smell of detergent. If too much detergent is added, or if it is added directly to cold water, scum and clumps which are not completely

dissolved will stick to the inside of the tub and hose. These may float up and dirty the laundry.

[Note]

• In order to have the Ag ion coating working effectively, the washing machine performs showering even when the Ag Crystal Shower Course is not selected.
