2. Hold down Temp. and Delay End simultaneously for 3 seconds to enter Calibration mode. The “Cb” message appears.
3. Press Start/Pause to run the Calibration cycle.
4. The drum will rotate for about 3 minutes. (The direction of the drum rotation may differ depending on the model.)
5. When the cycle is complete, “0” appears on the display and the washing machine will turn off automatically.
6. The washing machine is now ready for use.

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.
• Colour: Separate whites from colours.
• 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 on the 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
• 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 trousers 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 (machine 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 washing machine and result in injury.

STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)

• Select the Prewash option for the selected cycle if the laundry is heavily soiled. When selecting the Prewash option, make sure to put powder-type detergent into the main wash compartment.

STEP 5 Determine the load capacity

• Do not overload the washing machine. Overloading may cause the washing machine to not wash properly. For the load capacity for the type of clothing, see page 35.
• 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 cycle speed is 800 rpm, and the load capacity is 2.0 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 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. Make sure to use the laundry detergent that is designed for automatic washing machines.

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. If used with the WOOL cycle, powder detergent may remain on the laundry and discolour the laundry.

Laundry capsules

To get the best results from using laundry capsules, please follow these instructions

1. Put the capsule in the bottom of the empty drum towards the rear.

2. Put the laundry in the drum on top of the capsule.

Detergent drawer guidelines

The washing machine provides a three-compartment dispenser: the left compartment for the main wash, the front-right for fabric softeners, and the rear-right for the preliminary wash.

1. Prewash compartment: Apply prewash detergent.
2. Main-wash compartment: Apply main-wash detergent, water softener, soaking detergent, bleach, and/or stain removers.
3. Softener compartment: Apply additives such as fabric softener. Do not exceed the max line (A).

To apply washing agents to the detergent drawer

1. Slide open the detergent drawer.
2. Apply laundry detergent to the main-wash compartment as instructed or recommended by the manufacturer. To use liquid detergent, see page 31.

3. Apply fabric softener to the softener compartment. Do not exceed the max line (A). Softener is dispensed into the wash during the final rinse.

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

5. Close the detergent drawer.

To use liquid detergent (applicable models only)

First insert the provided liquid detergent guide in the main-wash compartment. Then, apply liquid detergent to the guide below the marked max line (A).

NOTE

• Insert the liquid detergent guide only after you remove the detergent drawer from the washing machine by pressing release lever (A).
• After a wash, some liquid detergent may remain in the detergent drawer.

CAUTION

• Do not use the Prewash function when you use liquid detergent.
• Remove the liquid detergent guide when you use powder detergent.
