Model: DWF-170M/172M/160M/162M

Full-Auto Electric Washing Machine

➣Your washer is equipped with the

bubble generator that generates a

great deal of air bubble.

➣The air bubbles knock the dirt out

of the clothes during wash and

they push up the heavy dirt to

remove it during rinse.

➣Because the double washing

method using both air bubble &

water current is applied to this

washer, wash efficiency is excellent

in comparison with the original

washer system.

It can cause a fire or an electric shock.

•Flammable fluids (dry-cleaning solvents,

kerosene, gasoline, etc.) should not be

used or stored in or near your washer.

Sorting

Preparing clothes for washing

To obtain the best wahing results, you must operate your washer properly.

This section gives you this important information.

OPERATING YOUR WASHER

•Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid

snagging other items.

Remove pins, buckles, and other hard

objects to avoid scratching the washer

interior.

•Empty pockets and turn them inside out.

• Turn down cuffs and turn synthetic knits

out to avoid pilling.

•Tie strings and sashes so they will not

tangle.

•Treat spots and stains.

(see "Removing stains" on page14)

•Drop items into washer loosely. Items

should move easily through wash water

for best cleaning and wrinkle-free results.

•Load washer properly and select correct

load size setting.

Overloading and selecting a setting too

small for the wash load can:

- cause poor cleaning

- increase wrinkling

- create excessive lint

- wear out items faster (because of pilling)

•Mix large and small items in each load.

Load evenly to maintain washer balance.

An off balance load can make the washer

vibrate during spin.

•Reduce wash time when using a small

load size setting. Loads with only a few

small items need less wash time.

•Use a large load size setting to reduce

wrinkling with permanent press clothes

and some synthetic knits. These items

should have more room to move in the

water than heavy items (towels, jeans)

•Separate heavily soiled items from, lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be

washed together.

•Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from non-colorfast item.
