cycles.
Child Lock
The Child lock prevents children from pressing any button to change the settings
during operation.
More economical by Intelligent Wash System
Intelligent Wash System detects the amount of load and water temperature, and then
determines the optimum water level and washing time to minimize energy and water
consumption.
Low noise speed control system
By sensing the amount of load and balance, it evenly distributes load to minimize the
spinning noise level.
Safety device (Aqua lock) 
Aqua lock System is designed for detecting water leak during operation to prevent
water from flooding over the floor.  
Steam Washing and Refresh 
Steam Washing features upgraded washing performance with low energy
consumption. Refresh cycle reduces wrinkles from dry clothes.

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
Before the first 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.
• Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and
remove any small articles,if any.
• Check inside of the drum and remove any left
items in it  for next wash cycle.
• Remove any clothing or items on the flexible
gasket to prevent clothing and the gasket
damages.
Select a cycle (COTTON 60°C, add a half load of detergent) allow the unit to wash 
without clothing. This will remove residues and water from the drum that may have been left
during manufacturing.
