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.

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, and the load capacity is 2.0 kg or less.
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 cycle, use only a neutral liquid detergent. If used
with the WOOL 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.

water taps is not clogged. Periodically clean the mesh lter.
• If the washing machine is not supplied with sufcient power,
the washing machine temporarily will not drain or spin. As
soon as the washing machine regains sufcient power, it will
operate normally.
Fills with the wrong
water temperature.
• Fully open both taps.
• Make sure the temperature selection is correct.
• Make sure the hoses are connected to the correct taps. Flush
water lines.
• Make sure the water heater is set to supply a minimum 120
°F (49 °C) hot water at the tap. Also, check the water heater
capacity and recovery rate.
• Disconnect the hoses and clean the mesh lter. The mesh
lter may be clogged.
• While the washing machine lls, the water temperature may
change as the automatic temperature control feature checks
incoming water temperature. This is normal.
• While the washing machine lls, you may notice just hot and/
or just cold water going through the dispenser when cold or
warm temperatures are selected. This is a normal function
of the automatic temperature control feature as the washing
machine determines the water temperature.
Load is wet at the
end of a cycle.
• Use the High or Extra High spin speed.
• Use high efciency (HE) detergent to reduce oversudsing.
• Load is too small. Small loads (one or two items) may become
unbalanced and not spin completely.
• Make sure the drain hose is not kinked or clogged.
