Before Washing

Checking before use

For the appliance's initial operation or
after a prolonged period of non-operation,
perform the following procedures:
1. Secure the water supply hose.
2. Turn on the tap.
3. Connect the power supply.
4. Make sure that the water drain hose
is positioned towards a drain.
For more details, see page 41.

Before initial use

Before using the appliance for the first
time, run the 40 ºC Cotton programme
WITHOUT any detergent or clothing to
rinse out residue or moisture.
Note
There may be residual water in the
appliance due to the factory inspection
prior to shipment. This is not a
malfunction.

Preparing the laundry

Sorting the laundry
- Read clothing care labels to sort the
laundry into different loads.
- Sort the laundry by colour, type of fabric
and how soiled it is. Doing so will help
you choose the correct programme and
temperature for each wash.
- Clothes that are not colour fast should
be washed separately. Wash denim
separately.
- You should put bras with metal wires,
tights, lace clothing and small items into
a laundry net to prevent them or the
appliance from being damaged.

Caution
Do NOT wash water-repellent
clothing.
There is a possibility of excessive
vibration or failure during the spin-
drying cycle that may result in an
injury, damage to the appliance or a
water leak.
Treating stains
Apply stain remover to stained portions.
For dirt and solid stains, wash lightly by
hand first.
Checking clothing
- Check that the pockets on clothing
do not contain any objects that may
damage the clothes or the appliance.
- Tie up any loose strings on the clothing
and close zippers. Turn clothing with
raised fabrics and zippers inside
out. Otherwise, the clothes may be
damaged.
- Remove any hair, animal fur, sand and
other materials with a brush before
washing.
Note
Do not wash clothes heavily stained
with large quantities of vegetable oil or
cosmetic oil (aroma oil, etc.). Failure
to observe this may result in the door
seal swelling, causing the water to
overflow and leading to malfunctions.
