■ Remove large lumps of lint, mud, sand, hair, and pet hair from laundry.
■ Tie strings and close fasteners.
Sorting the laundry
■ Sort laundry according to the type of fabric and care label symbols (cottons, blended fabrics, synthetics, wool, hand washable items, etc.).
■ Do not wash extremely small loads, such as only a pair of jeans.
The clothes may become off balance and cause abnormal vibration during the spin cycle.
■ Separate colored and white items.
Risk of injury!
Do not wash the following items, through which water does not fl ow easily, because doing so creates abnormal vibration during the spin cycle and could cause injury or malfunction.
– Waterproof items, such as a wet suit, ski suit, shower curtain, etc.
– Items with non-slip rubber backing, such as door mats.
– Cushions, pillows, shoes, etc.
Detergents and additives
■ Use an appropriate amount of detergent according to the water level on the washing machine.
The type and amount of detergent depend on the type of fabric, volume, load size, degree of soiling, and hardness of the water used. Use less detergent if:
– The load is small.
– The laundry is not very dirty.
■ Too much detergent can result in excess foam, which reduces rinse effi ciency or may cause a water leak.
■ Depending on the detergent brand, detergent may not dissolve completely if the water pressure is low or the water is too cold.
■ When using softeners or bleaches, follow the instructions on the package.
■ Detergent remained in drain route may be caused by quality of water or type of detergent. In case of repeatedly using under this condition, it may cause washer trouble.

Troubleshooting

●    There is a power outage.
●    The Delay Timer has been set.
It is wet, even though it is the first time to use it (drain hose, tub, etc.)| ●    There may be moisture or water left in the tub or hoses from the performance test before shipping from the factory.
The remaining time increases during operation| ●    The remaining time is adjusted to compensate for the speed of the incoming water.
Water is added again during the washing process| ●    Water is added automatically up to the set water level if the water level falls because water is absorbed by the laundry.
Wash time is longer than the time that was set manually| ●    If the water pressure is low, the operating time may increase due to a longer water supply time.
The washing machine stops during the spin cycle and starts adding water| ● If the laundry is extremely off balance when the spin cycle starts, the spin cycle stops and the rinse cycle starts to rebalance the laundry. After the load is rebalanced, the spin cycle starts again.
During the spin cycle, the tub spins increasingly faster| ●    This is to more efficiently remove water.
Sound of water is heard when the tub moves| ●    That is the sound of water in the Liquid Load Balancer, which is used for balancing when the tub is spinning.
The lid does not open| ●    When the lid lock indicator is lit, the lid is locked and cannot be opened.
●    The lid is locked and cannot be opened because there was a power outage or the power was turned off while the lid lock indicator was lit. Turn on the power and wait for the lock to be released.
The strength of water flow does not change in spite of changing the indicator| ●    It may not change the strength of water flow according to the process and the load amount. It is not abnormal.

How to Install the Washing Machine

Safety precautions

■ Do not use a damaged power plug, doing so is dangerous. Contact a repair center that is certifi ed by the manufacturer to replace the plug.
■ If the outlet you are using is a 2-pin outlet, use an adapter to change from three pins to two pins. If you do this, be sure to connect an earth wire. There are risk of electric shock, electronic substrate and electronic parts damage if you do not connect an earth wire.
■ Do not connect an earth wire to a gas pipe, telephone wire, water pipe, or lightning rod. Remove the power plug from the electric outlet when you are attaching an earth wire.
■ You do not need to attach an earth wire if the electric outlet is a 3-pin type with earth terminal.
Where to install the washing machine
■ The hoses may be damaged or rupture if they freeze. Do not install the washing machine outside or any other place where there is a risk of freezing.
■ Install the washing machine on a solid level fl oor to avoid excessive vibration and noise.
■ Do not install the washing machine in an extremely humid place, such as a bathroom or a place exposed to rain.
■ Do not install the washing machine in a slippery or unstable location.
Doing so could cause abnormal vibration.
■ Install the washing machine away from walls as shown below to avoid abnormal noise and vibration.

• Should be 9 cm or more for the side with the drain hose.
  Installing the drain hose

  1. Lay the washing machine down on its back.
  2. Install the rat guard between outside lock and inside lock as shown in the illustration.
  3. Attach screws.
  4. Pull the drain hose out of the washing machine.
  5. Insert the narrow part of the drain hose into the clamp on the washing machine.
  6. Stand the washing machine up.
  7. Insert the end of the drain hose into the drain hose outlet.
     ■ Do not allow the drain hose to be bent, twisted, pulled out and damaged, stepped on, or crimped.
     ■ Spread a cloth on the ground before laying the washing machine down on its back to prevent damaging it.
     ■ Use a knife to cut the end of the drain hose at a 45 degree angle because if the drain channel is shallow and the end of the drain hose is blocked, it could cause a malfunction. ■ Keep the top of the drain hose no more than 10 cm above the fl oor if it crosses a door sill or something else. If it is higher than this, the water has diffi culty draining and a “C2” error (water does not drain) may occur.
     ■ Do not extend the drain hose more than 2 meters from the washing machine.

Connecting to the tap

● Water supply hose
■ The optimum water pressure is 0.03 to 0.8 MPa.
■ Use a horizontal tap.

Connect the water supply hose to the water supply inlet on the washing machine.
Check that the rubber seal is in the hose connector.

• Water supply hose for screw type tap is optional (Part No.BD-W80MV 151)
  Securely fasten the water supply hose to the tap and be sure there is no water leakage.

• Water supply hose with one-touch joint

  1. Loosen the top connector. ● If the diameter of the tap is larger than the connector ring, remove the ring.

  2. Press up on the top connector so the rubber seal and the tap are firmly sealed. Next, tighten the 4 screws. ● Rotate the bottom connector so there is no water leakage.
     ● Close the tap so you can remove the water supply hose from the bottom connector. Next, pull off the hose and lower the clasp.
