The main features of your front loading washer dryer and
tips for good washing and drying results are described
below. Please read them before using your machine.
z High-speed airflow smoothes out wrinkles. Clothes are dried at lower
temperatures than with previous models, resulting in less shrinking of
delicate clothes.
z Clothes move freely inside the big drum while drying.
z A Jet Fan Motor generates the high-speed airflow, which blows through the
clothes to smooth out wrinkles.

3D Sensor Control Wash
z The 3D vibration sensor maximizes
the beat washing effect by
controlling the drum rotation speed
using a revolution sensor.

Recycled heat from the Jet Fan
In addition to heat from the heater,
compressed heat from the Jet Fan, which
generates high-speed airflow, and heat from
the Jet Fan Motor are used as hot air during
drying.

Recycled heat via the Eco Vent
Air warmed by the main motor and heater
enters the Eco Vent (open-close type inlet),
which is set along the drying pipeline, and is
reused as warm air during drying.

Failure to do so may result in malfunction of the machine or water leakage.
z If any liquid detergent, bleach, or softener remains on the metal parts of the detergent
dispenser, the metal parts of the back side of the door, or any plastic parts on the
exterior of the machine, wipe it off immediately with a soft, damp cloth.
Failure to do so may cause rust and deterioration of the machine parts and result in injuries.
z After a water outage occurs or after you disconnect and reconnect the water supply
hose, turn off the tap, press the <START> button, and ensure that the detergent
indicator lights before turning on the tap slowly.
(Do this after long periods of disuse as well.)
Air may have accumulated in the water supply hose or plumbing fixtures, and the pressurized air may
cause malfunction of the machine, water leakage, or injuries when released.
z Install the machine in the way that you can access the drain outlet for cleaning.
Clogged drain outlets will result in improper drainage and water leakage. If you remove the drain hose
from the drain outlet hole, make sure that it is reinserted securely into the drainage pipe.
z Clean the lint filter and drain outlet regularly (i.e., once a month).
Washing laundry that produces a lot of lint or laundry on which hair or pet fur is attached will clog the
lint filter and drain outlet quickly, and result in improper draining and water leakage.
z Remove the detergent case and clean the case regularly (i.e., once a week).
Accumulation of liquid detergent, softener, or bleach may cause malfunction of the machine and result
in injuries.
z Do not use hot water from a water heater.
Doing so may result in malfunction of the machine, water leakage, or improper drying operation.
z Do not jam laundry when closing the door.
Doing so may result in malfunction of the machine, water leakage, or improper drying operation.
z Do not climb on top of the machine or place heavy objects on it.
Doing so may result in malfunction of the machine or water leakage.
z Do not apply excessive pressure to the door or its hinges.
Doing so may result in malfunction of the machine or water leakage.
z Do not use water that is 50°C (122°F) or higher in temperature.
Doing so may result in malfunction of the machine, water leakage, or improper drying operation.
z Do not use the washing cap (optional) during the [WASH DRY] and [DRY] operations
and the [CLEAN] and [SOFT] programs.
The heat may cause the washing cap to warp and fly out of the drum, resulting in injuries or
malfunction of the machine.
z Do not hang a rag on the door bellows.
Doing so may deform the door bellows, resulting in water leakage.

Treat stains as soon as possible
z Stains become harder to
remove as time passes. Partial
cleaning of the stained area
before wash may help remove
them.
Separate items for which pilling or lint is
a concern, or turn them inside out
z Turn sweaters and other items for
which pilling is a concern inside
out.
z Separate such items from towels,
bath towels, etc.
Tie all strings and close all
fasteners
z This is to prevent the
fasteners from damaging
the laundry and causing
malfunctions in the
machine.
Remove debris, dirt, sand, hair,
and pet fur
z Debris and foreign particles
may clog the drainage pipeline
and drying pipeline, resulting in
malfunction.
Remove all coins, hairpins, and objects
(including from pockets)
z These objects
may damage the
laundry or cause
malfunctions.
Remove
matches,
hairpins,
coins, etc.
Separate items that are likely to
bleed color
z Separate items that bleed
color easily, and wash items
of similar color 2 to 3 pieces
at a time.
(Single pieces of laundry tend to gravitate to one side during the
spin cycle and may not dry sufficiently. Wash them together with
other items for which color transfer is not a concern.)
Separate items for which lint is a concern,
or place them into a mesh laundry bag
z Place corduroy (or other long pile material) or dark
colored clothes, stockings, and other clothes on
which lint may be noticeable in a commercially
available mesh laundry bag with lint protection.

Tips for Good Washing Results
English
z Increase the number of rinse cycles. (P.55)
z Use the Water-Injection Rinse function. (P.55)
z Decrease the amount of detergent. (P.26, 27)
To prevent coarse textures
Items such as towels can feel coarse after
washing due to flattened piles.
z Use a fabric softener.
z Wash using the [SOFT] program.
(P.34)
z For items that feel coarse after drying,
run the [DRY] > [FUZZY] program for an
additional 30 minutes. (P.39)
To rinse thoroughly
z Separate items that are likely to bleed color when washing.
z Use the recommended amounts of detergent and softener.
Ú Insufficient amounts of detergent or excessive amounts softener may result in darkening.
Ú Using liquid detergent can result in darkening. Try using a powder detergent.
To prevent color bleeding and darkening (P.94)
Distribute the laundry evenly and avoid
concentration on one side.
Place the laundry behind the 5-Ply Liquid
Load Balancer.
z Failure to do so may cause the laundry to get
caught between the door and the door bellows,
resulting in damage to the laundry and the door
bellows.
Place smaller items into the back
of the drum first, and then load the
remaining laundry.
z We recommend using the
optional washing cap.
5-Ply Liquid
Load Balancer
When drying a small load of laundry (about
1kg or less), place a dry towel together with
the laundry.
z Small loads of laundry may result in insufficient
drying. Placing a dry towel or similar item together
with the laundry will reduce unevenness in drying.
Do not overload the machine with laundry.
z Overflowing laundry may result in damage to the
laundry, door bellows, and plastic parts.
z It may also prolong drying times or produce uneven
washing and drying results.
Large items (sheets, cotton blankets, etc.), thick items (jeans,
sweatshirts, etc.), small loads, and mats of various types should
be washed together with other laundry.
z Such items tend to gravitate to one side when washed alone, resulting in
excessive vibration and insufficient drying during the spin cycle. (P.79)
Cotton blanket, etc.
Helpful hints
How to load the laundry into the drum

z A rough guide for a 10.5 kg load of laundry is the top of the door bellows.
z A rough guide for an 8 kg load of laundry is halfway between the top of the door bellows and the
screw shown below.
Screw
Guide for about 10.5 kg
Guide for about 8 kg
Door bellows
If laundry concentrates on one side, the machine will automatically even it out, prolonging the
operation time and consuming more water in the process. In addition, excessive vibration may occur
during the spin cycle, forcing the machine to stop during operation. Take note of the following to
prevent this.
z Do not wash thick items (cotton blankets,
jeans, etc.) or items in mesh laundry bags
alone.
z
Wash 2 to 3 thick items or mesh laundry bags at a time, or wash them together with other laundry.
z Place only delicate items (lingerie, brassieres,
stockings, etc.) and small items (socks,
handkerchiefs, etc.) into the mesh laundry bags.
(P.18, 21)
Overstuffed bags may prevent smooth
spinning operation.
z Set the startup operation for spinning to
Smooth Mode. (P.68)
