5.2 Preparing Laundry for Washing

• Laundry items with metal attachments
such as, underwiring, belt buckles or metal
buttons will damage the product. Remove
the metal pieces or wash such clothes by
putting them in a laundry bag or pillow
case.
• Take out all substances in the pockets
such as coins, pens and paper clips, and
turn pockets inside out and brush. Such
objects may damage the product or cause
noise problem.
• Put small size clothes such as infant's
socks and nylon stockings in a laundry
bag or pillow case.
• Place curtains in without compressing
them. Remove curtain attachment items.
Curtain attachment items may cause
pulling and tearing on the curtain.
• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and
mend rips and tears.
• Wash "Machine washable" or "Hand
washable" labelled products only with an
appropriate programme.
• Do not wash colours and whites together.
New, dark coloured cottons release a lot
of dye. Wash them separately.
• Tough stains must be treated properly be-
fore washing.
• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned
inside out.
• Laundry that are subjected to materials
such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc.
intensely must be shaken off before pla-
cing into the product. Such dusts and
powders on the laundry may build up on
the inner parts of the product in time and
can cause damage.

5.4 Loading the Laundry

a. Open the loading door.
b. Put the laundry items into the product in
a loose manner.
c. Push the loading door to close until you
hear a locking sound. Ensure that no
items are caught in the door. The loading
door is locked while a programme is run-
ning. The door lock will open once the
programme is completed. Then you can
open the loading door. If the door does
not open, apply the solutions provided for
"Loading door cannot be opened" error in
the Troubleshooting section.

5.5 Correct Load Capacity

The maximum load capacity depends on the
type of laundry, the degree of soiling and the
desired washing programme.
The product automatically adjusts the water
amount according to the weight of the laun-
dry put inside it.
