Laundry guidelines

STEP 1 Sort

Sort the laundry according to these criteria:

  • Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.
  • Color: Separate whites from colors.
  • Size: Mixing different sized items together in the drum improves the washing performance.
  • Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately. For pure, new woollen items, curtains, and silk items, check the labels for washing instructions.

NOTE: Make sure to check the care label on all clothing, and sort clothing accordingly before starting the wash.

STEP 2 Empty pockets

Empty all the pockets of your laundry items

  • Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as well as the drum.

Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out

  • If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum 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 starting the wash.

STEP 3 Use a laundry net

  • Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.
  • Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become caught around the door. Place them inside a fine laundry net.
  • Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that could move the washer and result in injury.

STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)

Select the Prewash option for the selected cycle if the laundry is heavily soiled. Do not use the Prewash option if you will be adding detergent manually to the drum.

STEP 5 Determine the load capacity

Do not overload the washer. Overloading may cause the washer to wash improperly.

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 maximum spin level is “Low or Medium Spin”, and the load capacity is 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.

STEP 6 Add the correct detergent type

The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), color, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” HE laundry detergent which is designed for automatic washers.

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 cycle, blocking the drain outlet.

CAUTION: When washing wool using the WOOL cycle, use only a neutral liquid detergent. Powder detergent used with the WOOL cycle can remain on the laundry and discolor it.

Use HE detergent only

Your washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.

  • For the best cleaning results, use a high efficiency detergent such as Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High efficiency detergents contain suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the load tumbles more efficiently and cleaning is maximized. (* Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.)

WARNING

Regular detergent is not recommended. Use HE detergents only.

Detergent drawer guidelines

The washer provides a four-compartment dispenser: the front-left compartment for the main wash, the rear-left for pre-wash, the front-right for fabric softeners, and the rear- right for the liquid chlorine bleach.

  • Prewash compartment (A): Add prewash detergent or starch.
  • Main-wash compartment (B): Add main- wash detergent, water softener, soaking detergent, color–safe, non–chlorine bleach, and/or stain removers.
  • Softener compartment (C): Add fabric softener. Do not exceed the max line.
  • Bleach compartment (D): Add liquid chlorine bleach. Do not exceed the max line.

CAUTION

  • Do not open the detergent drawer while the washer is operating.
  • Do not use the following types of detergent:
- Tablet or capsule types
- Ball or net types
  • To prevent the compartment from clogging, concentrated or highly-enriched agents fabric softener or detergent) must be diluted with water before being added.

To add washing agents to the detergent drawer

  • Adding liquid detergent

1. Slide open the detergent drawer.

2. Add the liquid laundry detergent to the liquid detergent container in the mainwash compartment. Make sure that the detergent does not exceed the marked max line (A).

NOTE

  • Do not add powdered laundry de- tergent or other powdered laundry agents to the liquid laundry con-tainer.
  • To use powdered detergent, see page 34.

3. Add fabric softener to the softener compartment. Do not exceed the max line (A).

CAUTION

  • Powdered fabric softener is not recommended. Use liquid fabric softener only.
  • Concentrated fabric softener must be diluted with water before being added.
  • Do not add main-wash detergent to the softener compartment.

4. If you want to prewash, add prewash detergent to the prewash compartment as instructed or recommended by the manufacturer.

NOTE: If you use a high efficiency (HE) detergent, apply 1/3 of the recommended amount to the prewash compartment and 2/3 of the recommended amount to the main- wash compartment.

5. Close the detergent drawer.

To use powdered detergent

First, remove the provided liquid detergent container from the main- wash compartment. Then, add powdered detergent to the main-wash compartment according to the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.

CAUTION: Do not add powdered detergent to the liquid detergent container.

To use the bleach compartment

Add only liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. Do not exceed the max line.

CAUTION: Do not add undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly to the load or to the drum. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the fibers or color loss if not used properly.

To use oxigen boosters or color-safe bleach

Oxygen boosters or color-safe bleach can increase washing performance.

Make sure to add the oxygen booster or color-safe bleach after putting the laundry into the drum.

NOTE: To use both powder detergent and powder oxygen booster or powder color-safe bleach, it is more effective to put them together into the drum before loading the laundry.

  2. Turn out the diaphragm (sealing or gasket of the drum (A)), and check if it is stained. If so, follow the steps below.
  3. Combine 3/4 cups of liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon of warm tap water.
  4. Wearing rubber gloves, use a soft, clean cloth dipped in the water and chlorine solution to clean the diaphragm.
  5. Let stand for 5 minutes, and then wipe up and dry well.

CAUTION: Use bleach carefully and be sure to follow the bleach manufacturer’s use and care instructions.

Recovery from freezing

The washer may freeze when the temperature in its location drops below 0 °C.

  1. Turn off the washer, and then unplug the power cord.
  2. Pour warm water over the faucet to loosen the water hose.
  3. Disconnect the water hose, and soak it in warm water.

Cleaning the exterior

1. Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day’s washing.
This will shut off the water supply to your washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from escaping water. Leave the door open to allow the inside of your washer to dry out.

2. Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach, or other spills as they occur. Clean the following as recommended below:

- Control Panel – Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel.
- Cabinet – Clean with soap and water.

Cleaning the interior

Clean the interior of your washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew, or bacterial residue that may remain in your washer as a result of washing clothes.

CAUTION: Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant conditions, including odors and/or permanent stains on your washer or laundry.

NOTE: Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use a cleaner labeled “Washer safe”.
