Using Water
Amount of WATER LEVEL
• This machine detects the quantity of laundry automatically, then sets
the WATER LEVEL and proper amount of Detergent.
• 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.
• 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 ]
It depends on laundry load and washer model. Or manually you can pour a certain amount water into tub
directly to some height. That's because if water level reaches to the some height sensed by washer itself, washer
automatically operates. In other words, it is needed to pour water to the point when washer starts operating.
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 49~60°C...(120-140˚F)
- WARM 29~40°C...(85-105˚F)
- COLD* 18~24°C...(65-75˚F)
• When washing in COLD water additional steps may be needed:
- Adjust Detergent amount and pre-dissolve Detergent in WARM water
- Pretreat spots and stains
- Soak heavily soiled items
- Use appropriate bleach
* Temperature below 18°C...(65˚F) will not 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.
Using the Dispenser Drawer
The dispenser drawer contains 2 compartments:
• Liquid Fabric Softener
• Liquid or Powder Low-Sudsing, 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 laundry 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.
White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.
