Function Description

The washing machine offers various courses to cater to different laundry needs:

Regular Course: This is the default setting for normal clothes, automatically optimizing water level, water current, and washing time based on the laundry amount. It includes a "Condensed Bubble" feature where water flows at a low level to absorb concentrated detergent, enhancing dirt removal.
Speed Course: Designed for lightly soiled clothes, this course uses a normal water current mode and shorter washing times. It also incorporates the "Condensed Bubble" feature for efficient detergent absorption.
Soak Course: Ideal for seriously dirty clothes or to prevent yellowing, this course has a 1-hour duration and sets rinsing to "Overflow Rinse" by default. The "Condensed Bubble" feature is active to aid in deep cleaning.
Delicate Course: This course is for delicate items like blouses or lingerie, using a very mild water flow. The water level is automatically set to 38L, and the maximum load is 1.5 kg. The "Condensed Bubble" feature is also utilized for gentle yet effective cleaning.
Washing of Blanket: This specialized function allows for washing king-size blankets (228 cm x 254 cm or less) made of 100% synthetic fiber (Mayer, Tuft, Down cloth), with a maximum weight of 2.5 kg. It is crucial to note that all wool blankets and regular electric blankets should never be washed in this machine. The manual provides detailed instructions on how to fold and insert blankets into the washing net for optimal results.
Custom Wash Cycles: The machine allows for customization of wash, rinse, overflow rinse, and spin cycles, providing flexibility for specific laundry requirements.
Super Spin Dry: This feature offers timing-based drying options, allowing users to select either 90 minutes or 30 minutes for the spin-drying process.
Preset Function: Users can preset the start time for all washing processes, except for the delicate course, with options for 9 hours or 6 hours delay.
Tub Cleaning: A dedicated function for cleaning the washing machine tub, ensuring hygiene and longevity of the appliance.

Important Technical Specifications

While specific power consumption and dimensions are not detailed in the general description, the manual indicates the use of a proper power source as specified on the rating label. The machine features a stainless steel tub for durability and hygiene. The pulsator is a "Powerful hybrid pulsator Type," designed for effective washing.

Usage Features

Panel Parts: The control panel includes indicators for "Tub Cleaning," "Preset," "Lid Lock/Child Proof," "Detergent," "Water Level," "Super Spin Dry," "Function," "Process," and "Course."
Water Level Control: The machine automatically detects the laundry amount and sets the water level. Users can also manually select water levels (53L, 38L, 23L, 12L) using the "Water Level" button. The "Detergent" indicator recommends the amount of detergent based on the selected water level, with a guide indicating that one spoonful of compact detergent is suitable for approximately 53L of water.
Lid Lock/Child Proof: The "Lid Lock" indicator lights up when the lid is locked during operation, enhancing safety. The "Child Proof" indicator blinks when this mode is selected, preventing unintended operation by children.
Resume Function (Power Failure Recovery): This feature ensures that the washing cycle resumes from where it left off in case of a power failure, preventing the need to restart the entire process.
Option Mode: The manual mentions an "Option Mode" which likely provides additional settings or customizations beyond the standard courses.
Safety Features: The machine incorporates several safety warnings, including never touching the spin basket until it stops, supervising children, not operating the machine with wet hands, and ensuring proper drainage to prevent electrical shock or fire. The lid lock mechanism stops operation if the lid is opened during a cycle.
Auto Power Off: The machine automatically turns off about 15 seconds after the end of operation or after 10 minutes if the "Start/Hold" button is not pressed after powering on.
Installation: Detailed instructions are provided for installation, including connecting the drainage hose, water supply hose, turning on the water faucet, and connecting the power plug. It emphasizes attaching the bottom cover and ensuring proper grounding.

Maintenance Features

Cassette Filter: The manual advises cleaning the cassette filter at the end of each cycle to maintain optimal performance.
General Cleaning: Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial. The manual warns against using damaged electrical cords or plugs and advises unplugging the power cord before any cleaning or maintenance.
