CHECKING BEFORE WASHING AND CARING FOR GARMENTS
Must follow the checkpoints in order to avoid machine problems or damages on garments.
• If the below problems are caused by customer’s faults, separate service fee will be charged.
Checkpoints Before Starting Washing
Check if the clothes are bleaching or not.
• Add liquid detergent to a white towel and the garment where you can’t notice well. Then, rub
together strongly. Check if the color transferred to the towel.
• Be careful for scarves and imported clothes since they are easily discoloring.
• Check for stains or partial dirt.
• If stains are found, use the towel wet with detergents to rub on in a single direction.
• Before washing, the sleeves, collar, dress hem and pockets are pre-treated by brushing with
detergents.
The wrinkle-processed clothes made of wool are specially treated by fi xing them with threads
before washing. The threads shall be removed after the clothes are dried.
Not washable laundry
Clothes those are easily transformable even by soaking in water.
• Even by soaking in water, neckties, brassieres, jackets, suits and coats can be easily
transformed like shrinking and discoloring on the garment surfaces because they are mostly
made of rayon, polynosic, cuff and their blend fabrics.
• The wrinkle-processed, embossed, or resin processed products are easy to transform even
by soaking in water.
• Easily discoloring products made of cotton and wool, wrinkled silk, leather products, leather
accessory, leather ornamented clothes and its accessory.
• Don’t wash those clothes without handling guideline or material indication tag.
About Detergent
• When detergents are not dissolving well, use warm water (about 40 °C) to dissolve the
detergent.
• Use an appropriate amount.
• Even if excess amount of detergent is used, there is not much difference in washing
result. It may cause damages to the garments because rinsing is not enough.
• The bleaching agent may cause damages to garments since it is strong alkali.
• Do suffi cient rinsing because the powder detergent is easily remained on the garments
causing bad odors.
• If too much detergent is used or cold water is used, it doesn’t dissolve completely and
remain on the garments, hose or spin basket, causing contamination on clothes.
• In case of reserved washing, detergents must be put in the detergent box. If the powder
detergents are spread on laundry directly, it may cause discoloration.

detergent into the detergent compartment.
2. Add detergent evenly so that it doesn’t brim over the
edge of the drawer.
• Use a reasonable amount of detergent.
If you use more detergent than the standard
quantity or the water temperature is too low and the
detergent does not dissolve in the water completely
causing it to remain on the laundry and in the hose and tub, it may cause damage such
as dirtying and discoloring the laundry.
• If you use a powder detergent and it remains on the laundry, it may cause a bad odor.
Rinse the laundry suffi ciently in fresh water.
If you spread a powder detergent over the laundry directly, it may result in discoloration.
Make sure to insert it into the detergent compartment.
If the water pressure is low, the detergent may remain in the detergent compartment.
