which could result in stained clothes. A cup with
a pouring spout will help you avoid spilling.
• The effect of adding fabric softener may vary
according to its viscosity. The sticker fabric
softener makes its effect lower. For a sticky
softener it is recommended that it be diluted
with water, then be manually put during the time
when the washer beeps several times before the
final rinse. This function informing correct time
dispense manually is optionally applied to some
models. Please keep it in mind that fabric
softener has to be diluted with water before
dispensed and poured directly on clothes.
NOTE
• Do not mix with detergent or bleach.
• Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It
may stain them.
• Do not stop the washer during the first spin for
timely dispensing.
• Option washing is not designed to be used with
fabric softener dispenser.

and separate the laundry to be bleached.
• Dilute liquid chlorine bleach with water.
• Measure the recommended amount of liquid
bleach carefully according to instructions on the
bottle.
CAUTION
• Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto
laundry or into the wash basket. This may cause
change of colour or damage to the laundry.
• Do not pour powdered bleach into the bleach
dispenser. Powdered bleach may harden, so it
will block the bleach dispenser.
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or
acids such as vinegar and/or rust remove,
Mixing can release a toxic gas which may cause
death.

for washers.
• In case of using liquid detergent, dissolve it with water (detergent : water = 1:1) and deposit it through
the bleach deposit hole.
• The correct amount of detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes. (Jeans and
work clothes may need more detergent, while bath towels usually need less.)
