Using Water
Amount of 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 will be shown on the control panel.
• The following table shows the amount of water.
• 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 model. If adding water manually at the beginning of a wash, the water
sensor will then allow the machine to start washing when the minimum amount of water has been added.
Water Temperature
• When washing in COLD water additional steps may be needed:
- Adjust Detergent amount and pre-dissolve Detergent in WARM water and add to the machine by hand.
- Pretreat spots and stains
- Soak heavily soiled items
- Use appropriate bleach
* Temperature below 18°C...(65 ) 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 ).
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 the Dispenser Drawer
The dispenser drawer contains 2 compartments:
• Liquid Fabric Softener
• Liquid or Powder Low-Sudsing, High-Efficiency Detergent
The dispenser automatically dispenses additives at the proper time in the wash cycle.
1.Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling the drawer out until it stops.
2. After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer
too quickly could result in early dispensing of additives.
• Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding laundry products to the dispenser.
Doing so could result in early dispensing of laundry products.
At the end of the cycle, you may see water in the compartments. This is part of the
normal operation of the washer.
NOTE: Do not use bleach in the dispenser drawer.
