Laundry guidelines
Carefully read the following instructions to avoid machine problems or damage to clothing.
• Check the care label on clothing before washing.
• Do not overload the tub with laundry. Excessive laundry reduces washing efficiency, increases
wear and tear on clothes, and can cause increased creasing and wrinkling.
• When washing big, bulky items add some towels to improve the tumbling and spinning
performance.
• Check if there are any garments that might discolor the rest of the wash. Apply a liquid
detergent to a white towel and a garment, and then rub the garment with the soapy portion of
the towel. If color from the garment comes off on the towel, wash the garment separately or
with other items of a similar color.
• Special care is needed for scarves and imported clothes since they discolor easily. Check for
stains or dirt. For stains, add some detergent to a cloth and rub the stains in one direction. Soil
and dirt may rub against delicate garments, causing damage to the garments.
• For a badly soiled item, first dust it off and then wash it.
• Before washing the laundry, make sure that sleeves, collars, dress hems, and pockets are pre-
treated by brushing them with detergent. Wrinkle-processed clothing made of wool should be
specially treated by tying them together (using thread) before washing. Remove the thread after
the clothes have dried.
• Metal items on clothing may damage the tub and other laundry. Turn clothing with buttons and
embroidered clothes inside out before washing them. Zip up all zippers. Otherwise, the spin
basket may be damaged.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other items. Make sure to fix the strings
before starting a wash.
• Turn delicate items inside out before washing them.
• Wash black clothing and cotton towels separately. If these are washed together, the towels
may become stained.
• If big, bulky items are not submerged in the tub water, press the Power button to stop
operation and make sure they are submerged. Then, resume operation.
CAUTION
• Check all pockets before washing.
• Hair pins and coins may damage the washer.
• Check all pockets for metal items, and remove them before washing.
