4 2.FEATURES & TECHNICAL EXPLANATION 2-1. FEATURES Direct Drive System The advanced Brushless DC motor directly drives the drum without belt and pulley. Water Circulation The detergent water from the drum is sprayed directly over the load ; this enables the clothes to get soaked more quickly during the cycle. The detergent suds can be removed more easily by the water shower during rinse cycle. The water circulation system uses both water and detergent more efficiently. Built-in Heater Internal heater automatically heats the water to the best temperature on selected cycles. Child Lock The Child lock prevents children from pressing any button to change the settings during operation. More economical by Intelligent Wash System Intelligent Wash System detects the amount of load and water temperature, and then determines the optimum water level and washing time to minimize energy and water consumption. Low noise speed control system By sensing the amount of load and balance, it evenly distributes load to minimize the spinning noise level. Safety device (Aqua lock) Aqua lock System is designed for detecting water leak during operation to prevent water from spilling on the floor. Steam Washing and Refresh Steam Washing features upgraded washing performance with low energy consumption. Refresh cycle reduces wrinkles from dry clothes. Automatic Wash Load Detection Automatically detects the load and optimizes the washing time.

5 2-2. DETERMINE WASHING TIME BY FUZZY LOGIC To get the best washing performance optimal time is determined by sensing of water temperature, selected washing temperature and laundry amount. 2-3. WATER LEVEL CONTROL This model adopts a pressure sensor which can sense the water level in the tub. Water supply is stopped when The water level reaches to the preset level, then washing program proceeds. Spinning does not proceed until the water in the tub reduces to a certain level. water temperature washing time rinse time the best washing performance spin rhythm, time laundry amount FUZZY LOGIC selected washing temperature SENSING EFFECT PROCESSING DETERMINATION 2-4.

7 4.INSTALLATION INSTALLATION The appliance should be installed as follows. Check the conditions of installation area. 1. Check level ground. On raised foundations or upper level homes, the vibrations can be caused by the type of flooring. It may be necessary to move the machine to a different area in the home or have the floor reinforced to properly support the operation of the unit. 2. Check humidity or any foreign objects under the feet. Clean the floor, and there should not be any foreign objects under the feet. If the unit has foreign objects underneath the feet, this will prevent the unit from being leveled properly and will cause vibrations and slipping. Remove any foreign objects, if any from underneath the machine and level unit properly. See below for examples of foreign objects. 1 Open the box and check appliance condition. 2 horizontal Carpet Paper Laminated paper Washer Wrench This leveling (or spanner) wrench must be used to remove the shipping bolts and level the unit. This should be kept for future use. Packing Support Purchased stopper

8 Use spanner to remove transit bolts. 3 Confirm the distance between the appliance and the wall. 4 The tap connection and hose connection must be parallel. 5 Without removal of transit bolts Spin noise and shaking. X 3 EA Transit bolts More than 2cm If the distance is less than 2cm, the water supply hose will kink or fold. Unscrew 1. Unscrew the adapter ring plate and the 4 adapter retaining screws. 2. Push the adapter onto the end of the tap so that the rubber seal forms a watertight connection. Tighten the adapter ring plate and the 4 screws. 3. Push the water supply hose vertically upwards so that the rubber packing within in the hose can adhere completely to the tap and then tighten it by screwing it to the right. • Water supply pressure must be between 100 kPa and 1000 kPa (1.0 ~ 10.0 kgf / cm 2 ) • Do not strip or crossthread when connecting Inlet hose to the valve. • If the water supply pressure is more than 1000 kPa, a decompression device should be installed. • Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary. Type-A : Connecting Screw-type hose to tap with thread • Screw the hose connector onto water supply tap. ■ Connecting water supply hose Step1 : Check rubber seal inlet hose Step2 : Connect hose to water tap • Two rubber seals are supplied with the water inlet hoses. They are used for preventing water leaks. Make sure the connection to taps is sufficiently tight. Upper connector Rubber packing Plate Water supply hose Fixing screw Hose connector Rubber seal Type-B : Connecting Screw-type hose to tap without thread

9 Used the horizontal tap Horizontal tap Extension tap Square tap 1. Unscrew the adapter ring plate and the 4 adapter retaining screws. 2. Remove the guide plate if the tap is too large to fit the adapter. 3. Push the adapter onto the end of the tap so that the rubber seal forms a watertight connection. Tighten the adapter ring plate and the 4 screws. 4. Pull the connector latch plate down, push the inlet hose onto the adapter, and release the connector latch plate. Make sure the adapter locks into place. After completing connection, if water leaks from the hose, repeat the same steps. Use the most conventional type of faucet for water supply. In case the faucet is square or too big, remove the spacing ring before inserting the faucet into the adaptor. Ring plate Guide plate Latch plate Type-C : Connecting one touch type hose to tap without thread Step3: Connect hose to washer • Make sure that there are no kinks in the hose and that they are not crushed. When your washer has two valves. • The Inlet hose which has red connector is for the hot water tap. • If the washer has two valves, the energy is saved by using hot valve. After connecting inlet hose to water tap, turn on the water taps to flush out foreign substances (dirt, sand or sawdust) in the water lines. Let water drain into a bucket, and check the water temperature.

10 Connect Drain Hose. 6 Connect power plug. 7 If the drain hose is not installed properly, the unit will not drain properly. This allows water to back flow into the unit which can cause odors. Refer to Owner Manual for proper drain hose installation. The odor could also be coming from the home’s drain to which the drain hose is attached. In this type of drain hose installation, the odor could be coming from the standpipe. This odor can come up the drain hose and into the unit. Pour a cup or two of bleach or vinegar down the home drain and let it sit for 24 hours before running another cycle. This will help eliminate odor from the home drain. If a cycle is started too soon after doing this, it will not help the issue. Connect the power plug to the wall outlet. Avoid connecting several electric devices, it may be the cause of a fire. about 100 cm about 145 cm about 105 cm Laundry tub Max. 100cm min. 60cm Max. 100cm min. 60cm Retainer Tie strap Hose min. 60 cm max. 100 cm
