The basics
Prewash (Water Jet & Built-in sink)
CAUTION
• Do not abuse Water Jet. Excessive use of Water Jet increases water consumption.
• When running water to the tub, do that gently. Otherwise, water may overow the tub.
Water Jet and Built-in sink help you hand-
wash before the washing machine starts
operation. Water Jet is available only when
the door is open with the water level set
to less than High. For prewashing, use the
Built-in sink that is designed to facilitate the
hand-wash.
1. With the door open, lower the Built-in
sink, and put clothes to prewash on it.
2. Press Water Jet to supply water to the
Built-in sink, and hand-wash.
3. When done, you can either reuse the
water in the main cycle or simply drain.
• To reuse the water, run the water
down to the tub manually.
• To drain the water, press
Activ Dual Wash button.
NOTE
• If you want to hand-wash while the
machine is operating, press Start/Pause
to stop operation, and then follow steps
1-3 above.
• If you open both the door and the Built-
in sink, lower the Built-in sink manually
for prewashing.
• For the rst-time use, Water Jet supplies
water to the detergent box for 1 second
to extract air from the water hose.
After the rst use, Water Jet stops
automatically after 5 minutes of water
supply.
• Do not use for other than prewashing,
such as washing shoes or animals.

Detergent Box
To add a laundry-specic detergent, follow
these steps:
1. Open the door then the Built-in sink to
reveal the tub.
2. Open the detergent box by pulling in the
direction of the arrow as shown in the
gure and then put the detergent in the
detergent box.
3. Put in one-time amount of detergent
evenly so the detergent may not brim
over the box.
CAUTION
Make sure to use detergent as appropriate.
An excessive amount of detergent may not
dissolve well.

Laundry guidelines
Checkpoints
• Check for stains or dirt. Apply a little detergent to a white towel. Rub the white towel and
the dirty clothes together to transfer the dirt or colour to the white towel.
• Before washing, pre-treat the sleeves, collars, dress hems, and pockets by brushing with
detergent.
• Wrinkle-processed clothes made of wool must be specially treated by tightening them
with threads before washing. Remove the threads after washing and drying is complete.
CAUTION
• Do not place or keep blankets in the tub.
• Do not put candles or a heat source in or on the washing machine.
• Do not wash these clothes:
• Neckties, brassieres, jackets, suits, and coats can be easily deformed by shrinking or
discolouring on the surface. These clothes are mostly made of rayon, polynosic, cuff,
and/or blended fabric.
• Wrinkle-processed, embossed, or resin processed clothes easily deform merely by
soaking in water.
• Clothes that are easily discoloured made from cotton, wool, wrinkled silk, leather wear
and accessories, and leather ornamented clothes and accessories.
• Waterproof sheets, mattresses, or wool quilts, rain covers, shing jackets and trousers,
skiwear, sleeping bags, diaper covers, sweat suits, vehicle covers for automobiles,
bicycles, and motorcycles, bath rugs, and other waterproof items.

Before you start
Before you start
STEP 1 Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
• Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed bres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.
• Colour: Separate whites from colours.
• Size: Mixing different-sized items together in the tub improves the washing performance.
• Sensitivity: Follow the cloth-specic instructions on the care label of delicate items such
as pure, new woollen items, curtains, and silk items.
NOTE
Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before starting
the wash.
STEP 2 Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items, and remove dirt and/or soils from them.
• Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry
items as well as the tub.
• Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out.
• If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the tub may be damaged.
• Zippers should be closed and xed with a string.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the
strings before washing.
STEP 3 Use a laundry net or wash certain items separately
• Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres
may break through and tear other laundry items.
• Cashmilon, large volume garments, and lightweight clothes (lace-decorated clothes,
lingerie, nylon stocking, and synthetic fabrics) may oat on water during washing and
cause problems to the machine. Use the laundry net or wash them separately.
• Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal
vibrations that could move the washing machine and result in injury.
WA4700K-03716C-00_EN.indd 22 2016-08-09 6:23:27
English 23
Before you start
CAUTION
Make sure to soak inatable items (such as blankets, and cotton-lled or microbre quilets) in
water before you run a cycle.
• Inatable items may cause damage to the laundry or the machine during the wash or
drying process.
• Regardless of the size, blankets or quilts are safer and cleaner to wash one item at a time.
Two different-sized blankets in the same load may compromise the drying performance
due to unbalanced loads.
To input a blanket
Fold the blanket as shown, and then put it on the plastic area (A) of the tub before inserting
into the tub.
A
STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)
• To remove stains and dirt on collars, sleeves, hems, and pockets, apply detergent lightly
and brush off.
• Use powder or liquid detergents. Do not use soap, as this may remain on the tub after
washing.
• Prewash white socks, sleeves, and collars with a little detergent and a brush.
CAUTION
Make sure the laundry is inserted completely.
• Any exposed part of the laundry may cause damage to the machine or the laundry itself,
or a water leak.
• Make sure the laundry does not exceed the plastic area (A) in the above gure.
WA4700K-03716C-00_EN.indd 23 2016-08-09 6:23:27
24 English
Before you start
Before you start
STEP 5 Determine the load capacity
Make sure the laundry does not exceed the plastic area (A) in the gure on page 23.
Otherwise, it may cause the washing machine to not wash properly or cause damage to the
machine or the laundry itself, or a water leak.
NOTE
When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin
efciency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended load capacity is
3.5 kg or less.
CAUTION
If the laundry is unbalanced and the Ub information code is displayed, redistribute the load.
Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance and cause damage to the machine
or the laundry itself.
STEP 6 Apply a proper detergent type
The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool),
colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use low suds laundry detergent,
which is designed for automatic washing machines.
CAUTION
• Use an appropriate amount of detergent. Excess amounts of detergent do not produce
much improvement in washing results but cause damage to the laundry due to
deteriorated rinsing performance.
• Bleach is strong alkali in nature, causing damage to or discolouration of the laundry.
• Use a longer or added rinse cycle when using powder detergent that is very likely to
remain on the laundry and cause bad odours after washing is complete.
• If an excessive amount of detergent is used especially in cold water, the detergent doesn’t
dissolve well, ending up with contaminated laundry, hoses, and/or tub.
• In case of timed washing, do not apply detergent directly to laundry or the tub. The
laundry may be discoloured. Use the detergent box.
• When washing wool using the Wool cycle, use only a neutral detergent to avoid
discolouring the laundry.
NOTE
• Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the
laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you are
not sure about the water hardness, contact a local water authority.
• Do not use detergent that tends to be hardened or solidied. This detergent may remain
after the rinse process, blocking the drain outlet.
