02 SETTING UP YOUR WASHER

together strongly. Check if the color transferred to the towel.
• Be careful for scarves and imported clothes since they are easily discoloring.
• Check for stains or partial dirt.
• If stains are found, use the towel wet with detergents to rub on in a single direction.
• Before washing, the sleeves, collar, dress hem and pockets are pre-treated by brushing with
detergents.
The wrinkle-processed clothes made of wool are specially treated by fixing them with threads
before washing. The threads shall be removed after the clothes are dried.
Not washable laundry
Clothes those are easily transformable even by soaking in water.
• Even by soaking in water, neckties, brassieres, jackets, suits and coats can be easily
transformed like shrinking and discoloring on the garment surfaces because they are mostly
made of rayon, polynosic, cuff and their blend fabrics.
• The wrinkle-processed, embossed, or resin processed products are easy to transform even
by soaking in water.
• Easily discoloring products made of cotton and wool, wrinkled silk, leather products, leather
accessory, leather ornamented clothes and its accessory.
• Don’t wash those clothes without handling guideline or material indication tag.
About Detergent
• When detergents are not dissolving well, use warm water (about 40 °C) to dissolve the
detergent.
• Use an appropriate amount.
CAUTION • Even if excess amount of detergent is used, there is not much difference in washing
result. It may cause damages to the garments because rinsing is not enough.
• The bleaching agent may cause damages to garments since it is strong alkali.
• Do sufficient rinsing because the powder detergent is easily remained on the garments
causing bad odors.
• If too much detergent is used or cold water is used, it doesn’t dissolve completely and
remain on the garments, hose or spin basket, causing contamination on clothes.
• In case of reserved washing, detergents must be put in the detergent box. If the powder
detergents are spread on laundry directly, it may cause discoloration.

CARING FOR CLOTHES BEFORE WASHING
Take out personal belongings from pockets.
• Caution, Check the pockets! Hairpins and coins cause damages to
clothes and washing machine. They make noise and problems to
the machine. Must check the pocket.
If pants zippers are open while washing, the spin basket may be
damaged. The zipper should be closed and fixed with a string before washing.
• Metal on the clothing may cause damage to the clothes and the tub.
• Turn clothing with buttons and embroidered clothes inside out before
washing them.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes,
and may cause damage to the clothing. Be sure to fix the strings
before washing.
Waterproof clothes (Ski Wear, Diaper Covers, Footboards) are not
allowed for washing.
• This may cause the laundry to be ejected or cause the washing machine to vibrate
abnormally, which may result in personal injury or damage the washing machine, the floor
or the clothing. (Diapers, waterproof clothing, raincoats, umbrella covers, skiwear, car cover
sheets, and sleeping bags, etc.).
• When the tub rotates, water may become trapped in the waterproof clothing or fabric and
can collect in a corner, causing abnormal vibrations. In addition, the laundry rises and may be
ejected and cause personal injury.
• Such abnormal vibrations of the machine may cause physical injury, or damage to the
machine, wall, or floor as well as the laundry itself.
Shake the dirt or soils from clothes.
• Soil and sands may rub delicate garments to cause damages and the washing result may be
unsatisfactory.
Do pre-washing for white socks, sleeves, and collars before the main washing.
• For stains and dirt on collars, sleeves, hems, and pockets, apply some detergent to them
and apply it lightly with a brush before washing.
• Use powdered or liquid detergent. Do not use soap as the tub may become dirty from the
dirt on it.
Turn inside out for those nappy clothes before washing.
• If clothes have too much foreign matter, separate them for washing.
Other clothes may pick up those dirty matters (dirt, thread).
• Wash black colored clothes and cotton towels separately. If they are
washed together, towels may pick up dirty matters. Check before
washing.
Cashmilon and those garments having big volume and lightweight
(eg. Lasedecorated clothes, lingerie, nylon stocking, synthetic
fabrics etc.) may rise and cause damages to the clothes and

HOW TO WASH AUTOMATICALLY DEPENDS ON THE LAUNDRY
Before starting washing, check the following;
• Connect the water supply hose to the water tap. Leave a tap open. Plug the power cord in. Make sure
to lay down the drain hose.

Washing for the first time

Before washing clothes for the first time, you must run a complete cycle without clothes.
To do this:
1. Press the Power button.
2. Open the detergent drawer and insert a little detergent.
3. Turn on the water supply to the washing machine.
4. Press the Start/Pause button.
This will remove any water from the manufacturer’s test run remaining in the machine.

Special notes!
Automatic Sensing Function
• According to the selected program, the amount of laundry is automatically sensed and then
the appropriate water level, wash time, rinse cycle, and spinning time are automatically
selected for the automatic wash.
• After the power is on, a program is selected and Start/Pause button is pressed. Then,
the washing board starts spinning without water. This action senses how much laundry is
in the washing basket, not a machine problem. After this sensing process, water supplies
automatically.
Adding Detergent and Softener
• It senses the amount of laundry and indicates the water level. Then, it starts water supply
right away.
• During the water supply, it is possible to open the detergent box and add detergent.
However, it is better to press Start/Pause button to stop water supply and add detergent.
Close the lid and press Start/Pause button again. This way is much more convenient.
• If the softener is inserted in the softener dispenser, it automatically adds in at the last rinsing
cycle.
Put the laundry into the washer and add detergent, too.
• Be careful not to overload. Use right detergent for the fabrics you are washing.
• If the lid is open while running, the washing machine is stopped automatically for safety.
(Except, water supply continues while the lid is open.)
• When hot water is selected, both cold and hot water are supplied for the first
20 seconds in order to protect the clothes.
• Possible to control the washing time, rinsing cycle, and spinning time at every program
during the washing.

ADDING DETERGENT
1. Open the detergent drawer and then add the powder detergent into the detergent
compartment.
2. Add detergent evenly so that it doesn’t brim over the
edge of the drawer.
• Use a reasonable amount of detergent.
If you use more detergent than the standard
quantity or the water temperature is too low and the
detergent does not dissolve in the water completely
causing it to remain on the laundry and in the hose
and tub, it may cause damage such as dirtying and
discoloring the laundry.
• If you use a powder detergent and it remains on the laundry, it may cause a bad odor.
Rinse the laundry sufficiently in fresh water.
If you spread a powder detergent over the laundry directly, it may result in discoloration.
CAUTION Make sure to insert it into the detergent compartment.
If the water pressure is low, the detergent may remain in the detergent compartment.

To ensure maximum cleaning results, it is recommended that powdered detergent should

be thoroughly dissolved in a small amount of water before adding to the machine.

ADDING FABRIC SOFTENER

1. When the proper amount (one time dose) of fabric softener is stored in the softener inlet, it is
automatically added during the last rinse cycle.
2. Do not add detergent, bleach or starch into the softener inlet.
3. Using too much softener may produce unsatisfactory results.
4. Do not open the lid during the Spin cycle. If added too early, its effectiveness will decrease.
5. Do not leave the softener in the softener dispenser for a long time as it may congeal.
If the water pressure is low, the fabric softener may remain in the softener compartment. In
this case, put the fabric softener into the tub directly.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTOR FILTER

1. Pull out the filter and wash well.

2. Pull in the filter and connect the hose to the inlet water valve
tightly.

3. Check if there is a leakage.

Note to tighten up the connector.
