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 38.
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 maximum spin cycle speed is 1100 rpm, and the load capacity is 4.0 kg or less.
CAUTION
If the laundry is unbalanced and the “Ub” error code is displayed, redistribute the load. Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance.
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.
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 cycle, blocking the drain outlet.
•Powdered detergent should be thoroughly dissolved in a small amount of warm water before adding to the machine.
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.
