Inverter Direct Drive system
The advanced Brushless DC motor directly drives the drum without 
belt and pulley.
Low noise speed control system
By sensing the amount of load and balance, it evenly distributes load
to minimize the spinning noise level.
Child Lock
The Child Lock prevents children from pressing any button to change
the settings during operation.
More economical with Intelligent Wash system
Intelligent Wash System detects the size of load and water temperature,
and then determines the optimum water level and washing time to
minimize energy and water consumption.
Built-in heater
Internal heater automatically heats the water to the best temperature
on selected cycles.
Protection against creases
With the alternating rotation of the drum, creasing is minimized.
6 Motion
Washer is able to perform various drum actions or a combination of
different actions depending on the wash program selected. 
Combined with a controlled spin speed and the ability of the drum to
rotate both left and right, the wash performance of the machine is greatly
improved, giving you perfect results every time.

published user-repair instructions that you understand
and have the skills to carry out.
• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances
free of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags,
chemicals, etc.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children
or infirm persons without supervision. Do not allow

fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully follow the
garment manufacturer’s wash and care instructions.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or
explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline,
degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.)
which may ignite or explode. Oil may remain in the tub
after a whole cycle resulting in fire during drying. 
So, do not load oiled clothes.• Do not slam the washer door closed or try to force the
door open when locked. This could result in damage to
the washer.

result in property, personal injury or death.
• Do not push down the door excessively, when washer
door open. This could topple over the washer.

outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch
circuits. Check the specification page of this owners manual to be certain.

extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are
dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in an electric shock or fire. 
Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage
or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced
with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked,
