Level adjustment
1. Adjusting the washing machine level
properly prevents excessive noise and
vibration.
Install the appliance on a solid and level
floor surface, preferably in a corner of
the room.
2. If the floor is uneven, adjust the
adjustable feet as required. (do not
insert pieces of wood etc. under the feet)
Make sure that all four feet are stable
and resting on the floor and then check
that the appliance is perfectly level. (use
a spirit level)
❊ 
Diagonal Check
When pushing down the edges of the
washing machine top plate diagonally, the
machine should not move up and down at
all. (Please, check both of two directions)
If machine rocks when pushing the machine
top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.

1. Care Labels
Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your
garment and how it should be washed.
2. Sorting
To get the best results, Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.
Water temperature and spin speed and different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.
Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint
transfer can occur causing discoloration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily
soiled items with lightly soiled one.
Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
Color (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
Lint (Lint producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors 
separately.
3. Caring before loading
Caring before washing
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more
than half the total wash load.
Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.
 Check all pockets to make sure
that they are empty. Items such as
nails, hair clip, matches, pens,
coins and keys can damage both
your washer and your clothes.
 Close zippers, hooks and strings to
make sure that these items don’t
snag on other clothes.
 Pre treat dirt and stains by brushing
a little detergent dissolved in water
onto stains like collars and cuffs to
help shift dirt.

 Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing
of the fabric softener which could stain
clothes.
 Do not leave the fabric softener in the
detergent drawer for more than 2 days.
(Fabric softener could harden)
 Softener will automatically be added
during the last rinse cycle.
 Do not open the drawer when water is
supplied.
 Solvents(benzene, etc) are not
allowable.
1. The Dispenser Drawer
• The detergent should be used according to the
instruction of the detergent manufacture.
• If too much detergent is used more than the
recommended amount, too many suds can
occur and this will decrease the washing result
or cause heavy load to the motor. (Causing a
malfunction)
• Use powder detergent only for the front
loading washer.
 Detergent usage may need to be adjusted
for water temperature, water hardness,
size and soil level of the load. For best
results, avoid oversudsing.
❋Tips
Full load : according to
manufacturer’s recommendation.
Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount.
Minimum load : 1/2 of full load.
 Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at
the beginning of the cycle.
