Liquid detergent and bleachGradually pour in the liquid detergent and bleach.The detergent and bleach are automatically fed into the tub when the water is supplied at the beginning of washing.

Do not use bleach for clothes which may easily discolor.

When using both detergent and bleach, use less bleach so that the total amount of detergent and bleach does not exceed the full level.

For powder type, put it into the synthetic deter-gent powder tray in the soap dispenser.For the amount and use of bleach, follow the instructions put on the bleach container.

Concentrated synthetic powder detergentPut concentrated detergent powder with a spoon based on the indication as reference.

If the soap dispenser is wet, this may cause the detergent to stick. Wipe the dispenser with a dry cloth before adding detergent powder.One full spoon of detergent is approximately 27g or 20g or less.Weigh detergent according to the water level (water amount) indication. The size and standard amount of a spoon may vary depending on the detergent manufacturer or brand.

SoftenerGradually add softener.The softener is automatically fed into the tub at the beginning of the final rinsing.

Since it is not easy to pour concentrated softener (6.6 milli-liters/30 liters of water), add it after diluted it three times with water.For rinsing, soak rinsing is recommended.The softener does not function efficiently if shower rinsing is selected.Do not leave the washer with softener in the tub for an extended period of time, as this may cause the softener to be solidified.

Put the detergent so that its amount does not exceed the full level. If the detergent amount exceeds the full level, all of the detergent may be flown out by the siphon effect.

Cautions for use of detergent dispenserThe detergent and bleach are dissolved in city water and automatically fed into the tub while water is being supplied to the washer.

If washing is started while water remains in the tub, water which usually dissolves the detergent is not sup-plied. In this case, put detergent and bleach directly into the tub.

Put soap powder gradually in an appropriate volume while stirring the water to make up soap liquid.

Put laundry in the tub and start washing according to the kind of laundry.

When the detection of wash load isover, pour soap liquid and proceed with washing.

Since soap powder remains easily on the laundry as compared to synthetic detergent, carry out

sufficient rinsing. Otherwise, it may be the cause of yellowish tinge or soapy smell.

Read the direction for use (how to dissolve treat etc.) of soap powder carefully.

If soap powder is used in an excessive volume or put directly into low-temperature water,

incompletely dissolved powder remains beneath the pulsator and it may come up to soil the

laundry.

Dissolve soap powder sufficiently so that it should not be congested nor granulated.

Prepare lukewarm water of about 30 C in a separate container.

Handling of Drain Hose

Cut the hose askew.(This makes drain water flow smoother.)

Cut off the drain hose.

The hose can be cut

at any point along

its length.

Pull off the power plug from the receptacle without fail before handling the drain hose.

This is for the prevention of such a danger as accidental rotation.

When the drain hose is inserted into the drainpipe,

When the drain hose is short

When the drain hose is long

Make this height shorter than 10 cm.

Connect the drain hose so that it should not rise under the bottom of the washer.If the drained hose rises to thrust up the bottom of the washer, it may eventually come in contact with the mechanical or rotary part to generate an abnormal noise or the hose may be broken, thus resulting in water leakage.

Connect the drain hose to the drain port so that water flows smoothly.If drained water does not flow smoothly, it will take much time to drain out water or the washer stops its operation on

Extend it by connecting a hose of 3 cm or more inner

diameter. The length should be less than 1.5 m.

Drain hose comes in contact.

Do not connect the drain hose to a drain

port right below the washer.

Do not twist the hose outlet (hose clamp (b)) after it has

been fitted into the groove. Doing so may cause the

drain hose to rub against the floor, resulting in

breakage of the hose.

How to change the position of the drain hose

Carefully lay the washer with the front side down.

Remove the drain hose from the hose clamp groove at the right side.

Put the removed drain hose along the left groove and securely fit it into the groove completely so that it does not rub against the floor.

The following are not malfunctions of the washer.

SYMPTOM REASON

SYMPTOM CHECK POINTS

The remaining time sometimes in-creases or decreases.

The operating time is controlled by sensors.

An operating part is warm. This is caused by heat radiated from the electric parts.

Noise can be heard from the city water pipe or water supply valve.

This is caused by high pressure city water. Partly close the water tap to an appropriate level.

Main washing suddenly stops for a while. The washer stops for 10 sec. to supply water and detect the cloth type.

The pulsator slightly vibrates during or at the end of washing or rinsing.

This movement prevents the laundry from piling up on one side to reduce vibration during spin-drying.

The washer intermittently rotates at the beginning of spin-drying (does not rotate at high speed immediately).

This improves water dripping and balance, and ensures good spin-drying.

A snap-snap sound can be heard at the beginning of spin-drying.

This sound can be heard at the beginning of spin-drying depending on the type of laundry and whether it is piled up on one side in the tub. This is caused by spin-dry water tapping the tub and is not a problem.

Even during spin-drying operation, water is supplied and the operation mode changes to rinsing. (The SPIN lamp flashes quickly.)

The safety switch is activated at start of spin-drying. The washer automatically evens out the laundry during this time.Leave the washer as it is and continue washing. If the problem is not recovered, the indication “E4” appears.

When shaking the tub by hand, the sound of water splashing can be heard.

This is the sound of counterbalance water contained in the washer which ensures good balance during spin-drying.

The fluorescent lamp sometimes becomes dark momentarily.

Depending on the outlet circuit used, the power voltage may drop instantaneously when the motor is started. (If this occurs frequently, an outlet circuit specially designed for the washer should be installed.)

Check the following before calling for service.

The washer does not function at all.

Check that the power plug is correctly connected to the outlet.Check whether a power failure has occurred, a fuse has blown orbreaker has tripped.

Noise is produced.

Check whether the washer is inclined or is loose. See page 21.Check whether the laundry is piled up on one side.Check whether there are any foreign objects such as hair-pins or coins in the tub.

Water is not supplied. Water is not supplied if the cover is open. Close the cover completely.

Water leaks from the water tap.

Check whether the water tap joint or fitting is loose. See page 22.Check whether the water tap joint is inclined or is loose.

27
