12-2. TERMINOLOGY 1) ASSY-MAIN PCB (Imbalance Sensor) → To prevent the laundry from gathering on one side of the tube causing noise and vibration, the washing machine uses an imbalance detection device that evenly disentangles the laundry before the hydrating cycle starts. 2) DOOR-LOCK S/W →...
Page 66
9) PRE-WASH → The machine does a preliminary wash of about 10 minutes prior to the main wash. This is particularly effective for cleaning badly stained laundry. 10) WEIGHT SENSOR → The tube automatically rotates when no water is supplied to detect the laundry weight so that the proper wash time can be determined.

12-5. Q & A Q1. The machine does not respond to my keystrokes even while operating. Check if Child Lock is on. To switch it off, see the User Guide. Q2. The hydration time in the Drying course is set to 17 minutes. Can I change the time in any way? We have extended the hydration time for faster drying.
Page 69
Q10. While operating, the time disappears temporarily in the last hydration cycle and returns with another time. Is this an error? The machine detects the laundry weight before the hydration cycle and determines the final drying time. The drying time will then disappear for a moment. The initial drying time is changed to a more accurate drying time before being displayed.
Page 70
Q18. What is the difference between anti-bacteria and sterilization? Sterilization is a process that initially gets rid of up to 35000 different bacteria into asepsis. In the meantime, anti-bacteria is a process that injects a small number of bacteria in the asepsis conditions and checks how many bacteria survived after 18 hours.
