Installation requirements
Electrical supply and grounding
• AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz fuse or circuit
breaker is required.
• Use an individual branch circuit specic
to the washing machine.
To ensure proper grounding, the washing
machine comes with a power cord
featuring a three-prong grounding plug for
use in a properly installed and grounded
outlet.
Check with a qualied electrician or
service person if you are not sure about
the grounding.
Do not modify the provided plug. If it does
not t the outlet, call a qualied electrician
to install a proper outlet.
WARNING
• Do NOT use an extension cord.
• Use only the power cord that comes
with the washing machine.
• Do NOT connect the ground wire to
plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water
pipes.
• Improperly connected grounding
conductors may cause electric shock.
Water supply
A proper water pressure for this washing
machine is between 50 kPa and 800
kPa. Water pressure less than 50 kPa
may cause the water valve not to close
completely. Or, it may take longer to ll
the drum, causing the washing machine to
turn off. Water taps must be within 120
cm from the rear of the washing machine
so that the provided inlet hoses reach the
washing machine.
To reduce the risk of leaks:
• Make sure water taps are easily
accessible.
• Turn off the taps when the washing
machine is not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water inlet
hose ttings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washing machine for
the rst time, check all connections at the
water valve and taps for any leaks.

Laundry guidelines
STEP 1 Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
• Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed bres, synthetics, silks, wools, and
rayon.
• Colour: Separate whites from colours.
• Size: Mixing different sized items together in the drum improves the washing
performance.
• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately for pure, new woollen items, curtains, and
silk items. Check the labels on the items.
NOTE
Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before
starting the wash.

Before you start
STEP 2 Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items
• Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry
items as well as the drum.
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out
• If trousers or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum may be damaged.
Zippers should be closed and xed with a string.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie
the strings before starting the wash.
STEP 3 Use a laundry net
• Brassieres (machine washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the
brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.
• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become
caught around the door. Place them inside a ne laundry net.
• Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal
vibrations that could move the washing machine and result in injury.
STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)
Select the Prewash option for the selected cycle if the laundry is heavily soiled. When
selecting the Prewash option, make sure to put powder-type detergent into the main wash
compartment
STEP 5 Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the washing machine. Overloading may cause the washing machine to
not wash properly. For the load capacity for the type of clothing, see page 35.
NOTE
When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin
efciency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum
spin cycle speed is 800 rpm, For the recommended maximum load, see page 36.
CAUTION
If the laundry is unbalanced and the “Ub” information code is displayed, redistribute the
load. Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance.

Before you start
STEP 6 Apply a proper detergent type
The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items,
wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Make sure to use the laundry
detergent that is designed for automatic washing machines.
NOTE
• Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the
laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you
are not sure about the water hardness, contact a local water authority.
• Do not use detergent that tends to be hardened or solidied. This detergent may
remain after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.
CAUTION
When washing wool using the WOOL/DELICATES cycle, use only a neutral liquid
detergent. If used with the WOOL/DELICATES cycle, powder detergent may remain on the
laundry and discolour the laundry.
Laundry capsules
To get the best results from using laundry capsules, please follow these instructions.
1. Put the capsule in the bottom of the
empty drum towards the rear.
2. Put the laundry in the drum on top of
the capsule.
Untitled-2 28 2019-05-30 PM 12:32:47
English 29
Before you start
CAUTION
For cycles using cold water or cycles that complete in less than one hour, it is
recommended to use a liquid detergent. Otherwise, the capsule may not dissolve
completely.

Spin extraction is very important when you use a
clothes dryer to dry your clothes. The energy for
drying costs much higher than the energy for washing.
Washing with the high spin saves more energy in
drying your clothes in a clothes dryer.

The COTTON 60 °C and COTTON 40 °C programs are the ‘standard cotton 60 °C program’ and the
‘standard cotton 40 °C program’. They are suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and they are the
most efcient (concerning water and energy consumption) for this type of laundry. In these programs the
actual water temperature may differ from the declared temperature. Please run Calibration Mode after the
installation (refer to the “Run Calibration (recommended)” section on page 26).
Program duration of the standard program
The standard 60 °C cotton programme at full load min 286
