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

■Care before washing
3.Caring before loading
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 lift dirt.
• Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and remove any
small articles.
• Check inside of the drum and remove any item from a previous
wash.
• Remove any clothing or items from the flexible gasket to prevent
clothing and gasket damage.
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
discolouration 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.
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.

if you have selected ‘Pre Wash’.
• If too many suds occur, please reduce the detergent amount.
• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and
soil level of the load. For best results, avoid oversudsing.
• A water softener, such as Anti-limescale (e.g.
Calgon) can be used to cut down on the use of
detergent in extremely hard water areas.

• If the call center agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try
again.
• Pressing the Power button during the transmission will shut off the SMARTDIAGNOSIS™.
5. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the call center
