More economical by Intelligent Wash System

Intelligent Wash System detects the amount of load and water temperature, and then determines the optimum water level and washing time to minimize energy and water consumption.

Direct Drive System

The advanced Brush[ess DC motor rotates the drum directly without belt and pulley.

Child-Lock

The Child-Lock system has been used to prevent children from pressing any button to change the program during operation.

Low noise speed control system

By sensing the amount of load and balance, it evenly distributes load to minimize the spinning noise level.

Auto Restart

If the washing machine is turned off by a power failure, it will restart automatically from the position it stopped at adjusting accordingly.

• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water, These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more, HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes, This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas, As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer,

Watertemperatureand spin speedand differentfabricsneedto be washedin differentways.

Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separatelyas dye and lint transfercan occur causing discolorationof white etc. If possible,do not wash heavily soiled items with lightlysoiled one.

Soil (Heavy, Normal,Light)

Color (White,Lights, Darks)

Lint (Lint Producers,Collectors)

Separate clothesaccordingto amount of soil.

Separatewhite fabrics from coloredfabrics.

Wash lint producersand lint collectors separately.

3. Check

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.

Checkall the pockets to make sure that they are empty. Things such as nails, hair clip, matches,pens, coins, and keys can damageboth your washer and your clothes.

• Closezippers, hooks,and strings

to make sure that these items don't

snag on other clothes.

Dispenser drawer

After a while detergents and fabric softeners leave a deposit in the drawer.

• It should be cleaned from time to time with a jet of running water.

• If necessary it can be removed completely from the machine by pressing the catch downward and by pulling it out.

• To facilitate cleaning, the upper part of the fabric softener compartment can be removed.

The drawer

recess

Detergent can also accumulate insidethe recess which should be cleaned occasionally with an old toothbrush.

• Once you have finished cleaning, replace the drawer and run a rinse cycle without laundry.

The washing drum

• If you live in a hard water area, limescale may continuously build up in places where it cannot be seen and thus not easily removed.

Over time the build up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check these may have to be replaced.

• Although the washing drum is made of Stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused by small metal articles (paper clips, safety pins) which have been left in the drum.

• The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time.
