Untitled-6 12 2015-01-02 12:51:36
Step 3 - Connect the water supply hoses
A
CAUTION
• Before installing the water supply hoses, make sure
there are rubber gaskets (A) inside the fittings at both
ends of each new water hose. Installing the water
supply hoses without rubber gaskets may cause water
leakage.
• When installing the washer for the first time, make sure
to use new hoses. Failing to do so may result in a water
leakage or overflow and may cause property damage.
• Do not connect water supply hoses together to
increase the length of the supply hose. Hoses
connected this way may leak resulting in electrical
shock. If a hose is too short, replace the hose with a
longer, high pressure hose.
1. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the hot and
cold water taps.
2. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then
tighten them an additional two-thirds turn with a wrench.
Make sure the hoses are firmly connected by gently pulling
them downwards.
3. Run water into a bucket for a few seconds to clear the water
lines. Close the water taps before continuing.
INSTALLATION
4. Connect the hot-water supply hose to the hot-water supply
intake at the back of the washer. Connect the cold-water
supply hose to the cold-water supply intake at the back of the

water may leak, causing an electric shock.
• After you have connected the water supply hoses to the faucets, ensure that they are
connected correctly by pulling the water supply hoses downwards.
• To ensure the correct water usage, connect both the hot and cold water taps. If either or
both are not connected, a “4E” (no fill) error can occur.
• If not using the hot water supply hose, insert the water intake cap into the hot water
supply intake. In this case, select the Tap Cold option to turn o the Hot indicator.
Use the provided tap connector if connecting the hose to
the kitchen sink tap.
• The tap connector requires an appropriate packing for
the faucet to connect to.
• If using faucets, connect the water supply hose to the
cold water intake.
• If using faucets, make sure only cold water is supplied.
Supplying both hot and cold water simultaneously may
cause the water to flow backward in the drain system.
• For the Super Sanitize, Sanitize, or Self Clean cycles,
cold water supply is recommended. Hot water supply
involves a delay due to the cooling process.
• Make sure to close the faucet(s) when the washer is
not in use.

Position the drain hose
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
Over the edge of a wash basin
Secure the guide to the side of the basin wall with a hook or
to the tap with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose from
moving.
In a standpipe or laundry tub
The standpipe must be no shorter than 39 in (99 cm) and no
longer than 96 in (245 cm).
• Make sure that the connection between the drain hose
and the standpipe is not airtight.
• Connect the hose guide within 4 in (10 cm) of the end
of the drain hose. If the drain hose extends more than
4 in (10 cm) beyond the end of the hose guide, mold
or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the
washer.
• The Drain Hose can be installed up to 96 in (245 cm) above the floor, maximum, but the
draining capability can be reduced at this height. It can cause the washer to have an
odor because of water remaining in the drain system.
• If the drain hose is installed below 39” (99cm), the syphon eect can cause water to flow
back into the washer during a cycle. If this occurs, the washer displays an “4E” error.

Basic operations
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your
appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Laundry guidelines
Carefully read the following instructions to avoid machine problems or damage to clothing.
• Check the care label on clothing before washing.
• Do not overload the tub with laundry. Excessive laundry reduces washing eciency, increases
wear and tear on clothes, and can cause increased creasing and wrinkling.
• When washing big, bulky items add some towels to improve the tumbling and spinning
performance.
• Check if there are any garments that might discolor the rest of the wash. Apply a liquid
detergent to a white towel and a garment, and then rub the garment with the soapy portion of
the towel. If color from the garment comes o on the towel, wash the garment separately or
with other items of a similar color.
• Special care is needed for scarves and imported clothes since they discolor easily. Check for
stains or dirt. For stains, add some detergent to a cloth and rub the stains in one direction. Soil
and dirt may rub against delicate garments, causing damage to the garments.
• For a badly soiled item, first dust it o and then wash it.
• Before washing the laundry, make sure that sleeves, collars, dress hems, and pockets are pretreated by brushing them with detergent. Wrinkle-processed clothing made of wool should be
specially treated by tying them together (using thread) before washing. Remove the thread after
the clothes have dried.
• Metal items on clothing may damage the tub and other laundry. Turn clothing with buttons and
embroidered clothes inside out before washing them. Zip up all zippers. Otherwise, the spin
basket may be damaged.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other items. Make sure to fix the strings
before starting a wash.
• Turn delicate items inside out before washing them.
• Wash black clothing and cotton towels separately. If these are washed together, the towels
may become stained.
• If big, bulky items are not submerged in the tub water, press the Power button to stop
operation and make sure they are submerged. Then, resume operation.
CAUTION
• Check all pockets before washing.
• Hair pins and coins may damage the washer.
• Check all pockets for metal items, and remove them before washing.
BASIC OPERATIONS
English - 21
Untitled-6 21 2015-01-02 12:51:39
Do NOT wash
• Clothing that is easily damaged by water.
• Neckties, brassieres, jackets, suits and coats that are made mostly of rayon and other kinds of
blended fabrics that can be easily damaged (e.g. shrinkage and discoloration).
• Wrinkle-processed, embossed, or resin processed products that are easily damaged when just
soaked in water.
• Easily discolored products made of cotton or wool, wrinkled silk, leather products, leather
accessory, leather ornamented clothes and their accessories.
• Waterproof clothing (e.g. ski wear, diaper covers, and mats/rugs). This may cause the laundry
to be ejected or cause the washer to vibrate abnormally, which may result in personal injury
or damage to the washer, the floor, or the clothing. When the tub rotates, water may become
trapped in the waterproof clothing or fabric and can collect in a corner, causing abnormal
vibrations. In addition, the laundry rises and may be ejected and cause personal injury.
Laundry net
• Use only commercial laundry nets.
• Place delicate clothes in a laundry net.
• Cashmilon garments and garments that are large and lightweight (e.g. lace decorated clothing,
lingerie, nylon stockings, synthetic fabrics, etc.) may rise to the top of the washer and damage
clothing and the washer. Use a laundry net or wash these items separately.
• Place long stringed and lace decorated clothing, baby bed cover sheets, and woolen clothes
into a laundry net before washing them.

Checklist
Sorting & pretreatment
• Sort the laundry according to type, color, and the degree of soiling (heavily soiled, color fast,
delicate clothing, etc.).
• Keep accessories in place and empty the pockets.
• If any of the clothes are damaged, fix them before washing.
• Check if buttons are firmly in place.
• Before washing, pre-treat any stubborn stains.
• If any laundry is caught by the door lid, clothing may tear and cause water leakage. Make sure
no laundry can be caught in the door before closing the door.

Detergent types and usage
• Adding more detergent doesn't increase performance. Rather, too much detergent generates
too many bubbles, reducing the rinse eect and causing environmental pollution.
• Powder detergent residue may be left over in the cleaned laundry, causing bad odors. If using
powder detergent, fully rinse the laundry.
• Bleach is strongly alkaline and can damage the laundry.
• Do not use a soap type of detergent whether it's a solid type or powder type. Using these
types of detergent may cause the following:
• A white residue of the detergent may remain on the cleaned laundry.
• Some amount of the detergent may coagulate, causing bad odors on or discolor the
laundry.
• The tub can be badly contaminated with the detergent residue, which contaminates the
laundry in turn.
• The amount of fabric softener specific to wool or baby clothing diers depending
on the manufacturer of the fabric softener. Make sure you are using the standard or
recommended amount of softener by the manufacturer.
• Reduce the amount of detergent if the washer generates excessive amounts of bubble
while in operation or after washing is complete.
• Using liquid detergent is recommended.
When to add fabric softener
• An alarm sounds for 20 seconds immediately before the last rinse cycle in order to remind
users of adding fabric softener to the tub.
• For the Rinse + Spin cycle, fabric softner must be input in advance.
Handling the secure door

About the sanitizing wash cycle
The sanitizing wash cycle sanitizes clothes and helps remove stains.
How can a sanitizing wash remove stains more eectively?
While the laundry is being sanitized, the laundry’s fibres fold and naturally rub each other to
facilitate the removal of stubborn stains. Also, the high temperature helps soften the material
of the laundry, and enhances the performance of the detergent. Stains on the surface of
the laundry are easily removed by the steam and bubbles that are generated by the high
temperatures of the sanitizing wash cycle.
Sterilization
The sanitizing wash has a sterilization eect. Odors and most of the bacteria that cause skin
allergies are removed by the sanitizing cycle. Keeps your clothes fresh and clean.
Bleaching
Colors become brighter as stubborn stains are removed by the sanitizing cycle.
Washing eect
The higher the water temperature, the better the washing eect.
The eects of a sanitizing wash cycle are 60% better than a normal wash. Even with a half of the
normal amount of detergent, the eects of a sanitizing wash increase up to 20%
Sanitizing wash instructions
• Use caution during a sanitizing wash because the water temperature is very high.
• To drain the water safely, do not select a high water level for a sanitizing wash. Do not put more
than 1.5 kg (3 lb) of laundry into the tub. If you put more than 3 lb. (1.5 kg) of laundry into the
tub, the clothes' fibers can be damaged. (Underwear: 4.5 oz/130 g; short pants: 1.75 oz/50 g;
socks: 1.75 oz/50 g; normal towels: 5.25 oz/150 g; bath towels: 10.5 oz/ 300 g)
• Do not supply hot water through the cold water valve. Operate the washer only after the cold
water valve is closed. For safety reasons, add cold water to cool down the hot water while
draining.
• Time required to run the sanitizing wash cycle depends on the water temperature.
• The washer is designed for a sanitizing wash. Add only cold water to the hot water to cool it
down when the cycle is complete.
• If only hot water is supplied, or the water hoses are connected incorrectly (hot to cold and cold
to hot), the washer won't drain the water. If this occurs, an alarm will sound and the washer will
display an error code.
• The sanitizing wash cycle starts only when the door is closed.
• Once the cycle starts, the water level cannot be changed nor can hot water be added.
