Daily Use Guide
Loading Guidelines
Load clothes loosely and evenly around the drum. Do not overload - leave space for clothes to move freely during wash cycle for optimal cleaning results.
Detergent Usage
Use only high-efficiency (HE) detergent. Follow manufacturer's dosage recommendations based on load size and soil level. Place detergent in main wash compartment.
Fabric Softener
Add fabric softener to the designated compartment (usually marked with flower symbol). Do not exceed maximum fill line to prevent overflow.
Stain Treatment
Pre-treat heavy stains before washing. Use appropriate stain removers and follow product instructions for best results.
Temperature Selection
Choose water temperature based on fabric type and soil level. Cold water saves energy, hot water provides better stain removal for whites and heavily soiled items.
Spin Speed Selection
Select appropriate spin speed for fabric type. Lower speeds for delicate fabrics, higher speeds for better water extraction from sturdy fabrics.
