reparation Before Washing
Care Labels
* Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment
and how it should be washed.
Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle, Water Temperature and
spin speed.
Sorting
To get the best results, different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.
• SOIL (Heavy, Normal, Light)
• COLOR (Whites, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
• LINT (Lint producers, Collectors) Separate lint producers and lint collectors.

Lint Collectors
Check before Loading
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Things such as nails, hair clips, matches, pens,
coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.
• Mend any torn garments or loose buttons. Tears or holes may become larger during washing.
• Remove belts, under wires, etc. to prevent damage to the machine or your clothes.
• Pretreat any dirt and stains.
• Make sure the clothes are washable in water.
• Check the washing instructions.
• Remove tissue in pockets.
Caution
Do not wash or spin any item labeled or known to be water-proof or water-resistant, even if the
product care label on the item permits machine washing. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in severe damage to your laundry, your washer and/or property damage as a result of abnormal
vibration of the washer.
- Examples of water-proof or water-resistant items include certain mattress pads, mattress covers, rain
gear, camping gear, skiing apparel , outdoor gear and similar items.
Pretreatment on stains or heavy soil
• Use 'PreWash+Normal' cycle for very soiled clothes. In case of heavily soiled clothes, pretreatment
may require before the cycle.
• Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pre-wash product or liquid Detergent when placing them in the
washer. Before washing treat special stains with bar soaps, liquid Detergent or a paste of water and
granular Detergent.
• Use a pretreat soil and stain remover. Treat stains AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The longer they are left the
harder they are to remove. (For more detail refer to page 13)
Loading
Do not wash
fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
Load Size
The Water Level should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly.
Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub.
To add items after washer has started, press Start button and submerge
additional items. Close the lid and press Start button again to restart.
Light and Large-sized clothing
Clothes like downs and woollens are light weight, large and float easily. Use
a nylon net and wash them in a small amount of water. If the laundry floats
during the wash cycle, it may become damaged. Use dissolved Detergent to
prevent the Detergent from clumping.
Long laundry items
Use nylon nets for long, DELICATE items. For laundry with long strings or long length , a net will
prevent tangling during washing. Fasten zippers, hook, and strings to make sure that these items
don't snag on other clothes.
