• When the laundry is unbalanced (“
UE” lights up on the display), redistribute the load.
If the laundry is unbalanced, the spin efficiency may be degraded.
• When washing Bedding or Duvets, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin
efficiency may be degraded.
• For Bedding or Duvets, the recommended load capacity is 1.8(kg) or less.
Make sure to insert brassieres (water washable) into a laundry
net (to be purchased additionally).
• The metal parts of the brassieres may break through the material
and damage the laundry. Therefore make sure to place them inside
a fine laundry net.
• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings and
handkerchiefs may become caught around the door. Place them
inside a fine laundry net.
Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal
vibrations that could move the washing machine and cause an accident resulting in
injury.
