ater Level and Temperature
Water Level
• This machine detects the quantity of laundry automatically,
then sets the water level and proper amount of detergent.
• When you select a wash program, the water level and
amount of detergent (to be used) will be shown on the
control panel.
• When the water level is automatically detected, it may
differ depending on the quantity of laundry even though
the same water level is indicated on the control panel.
Note
• If you do not specify the water level 'L(Large)' will be automatically selected.
Water Temperature
• You can change the water temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP. button.
The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and, therefore, which
results in wash performance. We recommend the water temperature as follows :
HOT 120 - 140˚F : White items, diapers, underclothes, and heavily soiled, colorfast items.
Note
• Temperature below 65˚F (18˚C) will not activate laundry additives and may cause lint, residue, poor
cleaning, etc. In addition, detergent manufactures and care labels define cold water as 80~85˚F
(26.5~29.5˚C).
If the temperature of the water in the tub is cold to your hands, the detergent will not be activated
and clean effectively.
(49 - 60˚C)
WARM 85 - 105˚F : Most items
(29.5 - 40.5˚C)
COLD 65- 75˚F: Lightly soiled items
(18-24˚C)
* When washing in cold water, additional steps may be needed:
- Adjust detergent amount and pre-dissolve detergent in warm water
- Pretreat spots and stains
- Soak heavily soiled items
- Use appropriate bleach
