Dispenser I:
Dispenser for detergent, stain remover.
i We recommend HE detergents
because they are particularly
designed to deliver optimum
performance from your
front-loading washer. Not
using HE detergent could cause
problems such as oversudsing,
extended cycle periods, or a
decrease in wash performance.
Dispenser II:
Cleaning additives, e.g. fabric softener,
fabric conditioner. Do not fill over edge
of max line!
Dispenser III:
Dispenser for liquid bleach (chlorine
bleach, color safe bleach).
Do not overfill!
i
Concentrated or thick fabric
softener, conditioner and
powder-bleach must be diluted
with a little water before being
poured into the dispenser
(prevents overflow due to
obstruction).
i Bleach may cause discoloration of
the washer's colored surface.
Therefore, it is important to keep
the bleach away from the colored
surface of your washer. If any
bleach spills on the surface, use a
moist paper towel to thoroughly
clean it immediately.
i Close the flap of the detergent
dispenser. Please ensure the lid
is entirely closed.

Special programs

Delicates/Silks
Delicates/Silks settings are intended for
use with delicate easy care items made
of cotton, satin, synthetic or blended
fabrics and curtains, dresses, skirts
and blouses.
Bulky items, e.g. comforters, can be
washed with this cycle because of
gentle action and additional rinse
(automatically added).
No spinning between rinse cycles.
Hand Wash
Hand Wash settings are intended for
very delicate easy care items that
usually require hand washing.
These cycles have been specifically
designed to provide extremely gentle
treatment of fabrics.
Silk or other items marked with the
Ì
Hand Wash" symbol on the care
label can be safely washed with this
cycle.
Wool
Woolens (machine wash and hand
wash).
Quick Wash 25
For mixed load, e.g. cotton, linen,
synthetic materials or blended fabrics,
lightly soiled.
XXTRA SANITARY
This program was specifically designed
to eliminate most common houshold
bacterium while providing gentle
treatment of fabrics. At the beginning
of the washing phase, hot water is
introduced and then the internal
heating element heats the water to
167ºF-174ºF for a minimum of three
minutes. Clothes will be saturated in
the hot water long enough to kill most
common household bacterium, yet
without causing additional wear and
tear to the clothes.
Used for heavily soiled and/or stained
colorfast fabrics that need to be
sanitized, such as, towels, underware,
socks, bed sheets, table clothes, etc.
During the washing phase, the drum
rotates in opposite directions at 40 rpm
repeatedly. Spin speed reaches 1100
rpm for both intermediate and final spin
to reduce the remaining moisture
content and chemical residues
contained in the loads as well as
optimize the rinsing efficiency.
Additional options can be selected for
this program such as rinse plus",
bleach", and heavy duty". All these
options can be selected individually or
simultaneously.
Selecting rinse plus" will add an
additional rinse to the program to better
remove chemical residue.
