Using Water
WATER LEVEL
• This machine detects the quantity of laundry automatically , then sets the
WATER LEVEL and also indicates the suggested amount of Detergent for the
detected load weight.
• When you select a wash program, the WATER LEVEL and amount of
Detergent (to be used) will be shown on the control panel.
• The following table shows the amount of water, (refer to page 11)
• 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 ]
Water level depends on laundry load and washer model.The washer detects the required minimum water level and will not start
washing until this water level is reached.The water will fill automatically via the inlet valves, however if water is manually poured
into the tub via a bucket or similar vessel (NOT RECOMENDED), the washer will still detect this water and the wash cycle will
commence once the required water level is reached. NOTE :the cycle will not start until the lid is closed.
Water Temperature
• The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program.
• You can change the Water Temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP, button, (refer to page 14)
• The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and therefore, the cleaning results.
We recommend temperatures of:
- HOT 49~55°C.. .(120-140T) White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.
- WARM 29~40°C ..(85-105 F) Mostitems
- COLD* 18~24°C.. .(65-75°F) Only very bright colors with light soil.
• 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 away from the machine so that the machine’s finish is not damaged
- Soak heavily soiled items
- Use appropriate bleach
• Temperature below 24°C.. ,(65°F) will not fully 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°F).
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.
Water-Detergent
Using the Dispenser Drawer
The dispenser drawer contains 2 compartments:
• Liquid Fabric Softener
• Low sudsing powder, 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 laundiy 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.
