(P. 26, 27)
 Do not use powder soap made from natural fats and
oils.
Such soaps may clog the machine pipeline, resulting
in malfunction or water leakage.
 Do not add excessive amounts of detergent.
Doing so may prolong operation time, reduce the
effectiveness of rinsing and stain removal, darken
laundry, or result in malfunction, water leakage, or
electric shock.
 Do not add clumps of detergent into the detergent
dispenser. Break up the clumps before adding.
Adding clumps of detergent may result in water
leakage.
 If the detergent dispenser is wet, be sure to wipe it
with a dry cloth to prevent the detergent from caking.
 If the detergent is not added before the water is
supplied, the detergent may remain in the dispenser.
 When using liquid detergent and liquid bleach at
the same time, do not add excessive amounts. The
detergent and bleach may drain due to a siphon
effect.
 As liquid detergent and softener are added by injecting
water and creating a siphon effect, water may remain
in the detergent dispenser in some cases. Depending
on the amount of condensation in the machine and
the amount of caked softener, the remaining water
may increase. If this is a concern, empty the water or
wipe it off, or clean the dispenser.
 If you are using a tablet, sheet, or cube type
detergent, dissolve it completely before adding it
directly into the drum. To add it into the drum, press
[PAUSE] after the detergent indicator appears, and
open the door.
