Using Water
Amount of WATER LEVEL
• This machine detects the quantity of laundry automatically, then sets the

WATER LEVEL.

• When you select a wash program, the WATER LEVEL will be shown on
the control panel.
• The following table shows the amount of water level.
• 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
[ Minimum water amount]
It depends on laundry load and washer mode. Or manually you can pour a certain amount water into tub directly
to some height. That's because if water level reaches to the some height sensed by washer itself, washer
automatically operates. In other words, it is needed to pour water to the point when washer starts operating.
Water Temperature
• You can change the Inlet Water Temperature by pressing the TEMP. button. (refer to page 14)
(Machine does not have internal heater, water temp. indicates the temp of inlet water feeded to machine)
• The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and therefore, the cleaning results.
We recommend temperatures of:
- HOT 49~60°C... (120-140 F)
- WARM 29~40°C... (85-105 F)
- COLD* 18~24°C... (65-75 F)
• 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
* Temperature below 18°C... (65 F) will not activate laundry additives and may cause lint, residue, poor cleaning, etc.
In addition, Detergent manufactures and care labels define COLD water as 26~29°C... (80-85 F).
If the temperature of the water in the tub is too cold for your hands, the Detergent will not activate and clean effectively.
NOTE
If iron is present in the water the clothes may become an all-over yellow or they may be stained with brown or orange
spots or streaks. Iron is not always visible. Installation of water softener or an iron filter may be necessary for severe cases.
Using Detergent
Detergent
Follow the Detergent package directions. Using too little Detergent is a common cause of laundry problems.
Use more Detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils or lower Water Temperature.
Choosing the right Detergent
We recommend the use of domestic Detergent, (powder, liquid or concentrated). Soap flakes or granulated
soap powders should not be used in your washing machine. When washing woolens, remember to use
Detergent suitable for washing woolens.
