2. FEATURES & TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
2-1. FEATURES
Water Circulation
Spray detergent solution and water over the load over continu.
Clothes are soaked more quickly and thoroughly during wash cycle.
The detergent suds can be removed more easily by the water shower during rinse cycle.
The water circulation system uses both water and detergent more efficiently.
Built-in Heater
Internal heater automatically heats the water to the best temperature on selected cycles.
Child Lock
The Child lock prevents children from pressing any button to change the settings during
operation.

INSTALLATION
The appliance should be installed as follows.

On raised foundations or upper level homes, the vibrations can be caused by the type of flooring.
It may be necessary to move the machine to a different area in the home or have the floor
reinforced to properly support the operation of the unit.

6 Connect Drain Hose.
If the drain hose is not installed properly, the unit will not drain properly.
This allows water to back flow into the unit which can cause odors.
Refer to Owner Manual for proper drain hose installation.
The odor could also be coming from the home’s drain to which the drain hose is attached.
Laundry tub
Max. 100cm
about 105 cm min. 60cm
In this type of drain hose installation, the odor could be coming from the standpipe.
This odor can come up the drain hose and into the unit.
Pour a cup or two of bleach or vinegar down the home drain
and let it sit for 24 hours before running another cycle.
This will help eliminate odor from the home drain.
If a cycle is started too soon after doing this, it will not help the issue.
Connect the power plug to the wall outlet. Avoid connecting several electric devices,
it may be the cause of a fire.

8 Check the horizontality with a level (Gage).
1 Step
If washing machine legs are loose or not screwed, then screw up with the spanner wrench.
Using the level, level the washing machine from front to back and side to side.

2 Step
Using the spanner wrench to adjust leg for horizontality and try for Diagonal test.
Diagonal test How to perform a diagonal test:
Place your right hand on the back, right corner and your left hand on the front,
left corner of the unit, then attempt to rock the unit from corner to corner.
Then, move your right hand to the front, right side and your left hand to the
back, left corner and attempt to rock the unit from corner to corner.
If the unit is level, it will not rock. However, if the unit is not level, it will rock.
If the unit rocks, it will be necessary to adjust the leveling feet of the unit.
Adjust the foot under the hand that is on the front of the machine.

Adjustable bolt
Lower the foot until there is no gap between floor and foot.
And only use adjustment rubber when difference at the leg adjustment is more than 10mm.
3 Step
Perform a Rinse and Spin with some clothing in the machine.
To do this, put 2~3kg of clothing in the unit, power on the unit, press the Rinse and Spin
button, and then start. When the unit reaches the spin cycle, watch for vibrations.
If the unit is vibrating, make small adjustments to the leg until they subside. (Try 2Step again)
4 Step
Tighten the lock nut against the base of the machine to lock the position leg.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING
7-1. BEFORE SVC CHECKING
1 Before servicing ask the customer what the trouble is.
2 Check the adjustments. (Power supply : 240V~, Removal of transit bolts etc..)
3 Check the troubles referring to the troubleshooting.
4 Decide service steps referring to disassembly instructions.
5 Then, service and repair.
6 After servicing, operate the appliance to see whether it works OK or NOT.

If you press the Start/Pause button in error condition, any error except will disappear and the
machine will change into the pause status.
In case of , , if the error is not resolved within 20 sec., and in case of other errors,
if the error is not resolved within 4 min., power will be turned off automatically and the error only will be
blinked. But in the case of , power will not be turned off.

Motor Locked Error (LE)
[Pre Check]
• Gentle wash cycles, such as Perm Press, Delicates, Hand Wash, and Wool/Silk should only be used for smaller loads.
Because these cycles are more gentle in tumbling and spinning, putting too much in the drum can register an issue
with the motor. Remove items, reset unit and test with a Rinse/Spin cycle.
