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, fishing jackets and trousers, skiwear,
sleeping bags, diaper covers, sweat suits, vehicle covers for automobiles, bicycles, and motorcycles,
bath rugs, and other waterproof items.
Untitled-4 21 2023-10-13 11:35:55
Before you start
English22
STEP 1 Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
• Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, 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-specific 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 fixed with a string.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the strings
before washing.
Untitled-4 22 2023-10-13 11:35:55
English 23
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 float 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.
CAUTION
Make sure to soak inflatable items (such as blankets, and cotton-filled or microfibre quilets) in water before
you run a cycle.
• Inflatable 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
Untitled-4 23 2023-10-13 11:35:55
Before you start
English24
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 figure.
STEP 5 Determine the load capacity
Make sure the laundry does not exceed the plastic area (A) in the figure 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 efficiency 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.
Untitled-4 24 2023-10-13 11:35:55
English 25
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 drawer.
• 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 solidified. This detergent may remain after the rinse
process, blocking the drain outlet.

Cleaning
Keep the washing machine clean to prevent deteriorated performance and to preserve its life cycle.
Exterior
• Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach, or other spills as they occur.
• Clean the control panel with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not

3. Press Cycles repeatedly until ECO TUB CLEAN is selected. You can also use Delay End with ECO TUB
CLEAN.
4. Press Start/Pause.
NOTE
If the washing machine is installed and used in a humid place, bacteria in the air may adhere to the humid
surface of the tub and foster mould growth, which is harmful to your health. To keep your washing machine
tub clean, use the ECO TUB CLEAN cycle once every 1-2 months (or when the ECO TUB CLEAN indicator
turns on) to clean the tub.
CAUTION
• Only run ECO TUB CLEAN when the tub is completely empty. This may cause damage to the laundry or a
problem with the washing machine.
• Depending on the conditions and surroundings in which the washing machine is used, the degree of
contamination in the tub or the result of the ECO TUB CLEAN cycle may vary. When using the ECO TUB
CLEAN cycle, pour 200 ml of chlorine bleach evenly on the bottom of the tub.
- Excessive use of chlorine bleach may cause product malfunction. Do not mix chlorine bleach with
other substances (such as vinegar, citric and oxygen bleach, etc.)
- Mixing chlorine bleach with these substances can generate harmful gas. When using chlorine
bleach, make sure to ventilate the surrounding area. If you have used the washing machine for a
long time without cleaning the tub or if you are cleaning the tub for the first time, some residue may
remain in the tub after the ECO TUB CLEAN cycle.
• Run an additional RINSE+SPIN cycle to completely remove residue. Though stainless tubs do not rust
easily, they may get rusty in the following cases; if rust should occur, wipe them with neutral detergent
on a sponge or soft cloth.
- If any metallic objects (safety pins, hairpins, etc.) that rust easily are left in the tub for a long time.
- If chlorine bleach is left in the tub for a long time.
- If an excessive amount of chlorine bleach is used in the tub.
