Laundry guidelines

Checkpoints

Check for stains or dirt. Apply a little detergent to a white towel. Rub the white towel and the dirty clothes together to transfer the dirt or colour to the white towel.
Before washing, pre-treat the sleeves, collars, dress hems, and pockets by brushing with detergent.
Wrinkle-processed clothes made of wool must be specially treated by tightening them with threads before washing. Remove the threads after washing and drying is complete

CAUTION

Do not place or keep blankets n the tub.
Do not put candles or a heat source in or on the washing machine.
Do not wash these clothes:
Neckties, brassieres, jackets, suits, and coats can be easily deformed by shrinking or discolouring on the surface. These clothes are mostly made of rayon, polynosic, cuff, and/or blended fabric.
Wrinkle-processed, embossed, or resin processed clothes easily deform merely by soaking in water.
Clothes that are easily discoloured made from cotton, wool, wrinkled silk, leather wear and accessories, and leather ornamented clothes and accessories.
Waterproof sheets, mattresses, or wool quilt, rain covers, fishing jackets and trousers, skiwear, sleeping bags, diaper covers, sweat suits vehicle covers for automobiles, bicycles, and motorcycles, bath rugs, and other waterproof items.

STEP 1 Sort

Sort the laundry according to these criteria:

Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics silks, wools, and rayon.
Colour: Separate whites from colours.
Size: Mixing different-sized items together in the tub improves the washing performance.
Sensitivity: Follow the cloth-specific instructions on the care label of delicate items such as pure, new woolen items, curtains, and silk items.

NOTE

Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before starting the wash.

STEP 2 Empty pockets

Empty all the pockets of your laundry items, and remove dirt and/or soils from them.

Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as well as the tub.
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out.
If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the tub may be damaged.
Zippers should be closed and fixed with a string.
Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the strings before washing.

STEP 3 Use a laundry net or wash certain items separately

Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.
Cashmilon, large volume garments, and lightweight clothes (lace-decorated clothes, lingerie, nylon stocking, and synthetic fabrics) may float on water during washing and cause problems to the machine. Use the laundry net or wash them separately.
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.

CAUTION

Make sure to soak inflatable items (such as blankets, and cotton-filled or microfibre quilets) in water before you run a cycle.

Inflatable items may cause damage to the laundry or the machine during the wash or drying process.
Regardless of the size, blankets or quilts are safer and cleaner to wash one item at a time. Two different-sized blankets in the same load may compromise the drying performance due to unbalanced loads.

To input a blanket

Fold the blanket as shown, and then put it on the plastic area (A) of the tub before inserting into the tub.

STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)

To remove stains and dirt on collar, sleeves, hems, and pockets, apply detergent lightly and brush off.
Use powder or liquid detergents. Do not use soap, as this may remain on the tub after washing.
Prewash white socks, sleeves, and collars with a it detergent and a brush.

CAUTION

Make sure the laundry is inserted completely.

Any exposed part of the laundry may cause damage to the machine or the laundry itself, or a water leak.
Make sure the laundry does not exceed the plastic area (A) in the above figure.

STEP 5 Determine the load capacity

Make sure the laundry does not exceed the plastic area (A) in the figure on page 25 Otherwise, it may cause the washing machine to not wash properly or cause damage to the machine or the laundry itself, or a water leak.

NOTE

When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efficiency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended load capacity is 3.5 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 and cause damage to the machine or the laundry itself.

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. Always use “low suds’ laundry detergent, which is designed for automatic washing machines.

CAUTION

Use an appropriate amount of detergent. Excess amounts of detergent do not produce much improvement in washing results but cause damage to the laundry due to deteriorated rinsing performance.
Bleach is strong alkali in nature, causing damage to or discolouration of the laundry.
Use a longer or added rinse cycle when using powder detergent that is very likely to remain on the laundry and cause bad odours after washing is complete.
If an excessive amount of detergent is used especially in cold water, the detergent doesn’t dissolve well, ending up with contaminated laundry, hoses, and/or tub.
In case of timed washing, do not apply detergent directly to laundry or the tub. The laundry may be discoloured. Use the detergent drawer.
When washing wool using the Wool cycle, use only a neutral detergent to avoid discolouring the laundry.

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 solidified.
This detergent may remain after the rinse process, blocking the drain outlet.
