2. FEATURES & TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
2-1. FEATURES
Inverter Direct Drive system
The advance Brushless DC motor directly drives the drum without belt
and pulley.
6 motion
Washer is able to perform various drum actions or a combination of different actions
depending on the wash program selected.
Combined with a controlled spin speed and the ability of the drum to rotate both
left and right, the wash performance of the machine is greatly improved, givong
you perfect results every time.
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 Buttons to change the settings during
operation.
5
2-2. DETERMINE WASHING TIME BY FUZZY LOGIC
To get the best washing performance optimal time is determined by sensing the water
temperature, selected washing temperature and laundry amount.

4. INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
The appliance should be installed as follows.

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.

Type-C : Connecting one touch type hose to tap without thread
1. Unscrew the adapter ring plate and the 4 adapter retaining
screws.
Ring plate
2. Remove the guide plate if the tap is too large to fit the
adapter.
Guide plate
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.
NOTE
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.
Latch plate
NOTE
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.
10
6 Connect Drain Hose.
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.
Laundry tub
Tie
Max. 100cm strap
max. 100 cm
about 105 cm
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.

8 Check the horizontality with a level (Gage).
Step 1
If washing machine legs are loose or not Screwed in, then tighten with the spanner wrench.
Using the level, level the washing machine from front to back and side to side.

Step 2
Use the spanner wrench to adjust Legs until level and try the Diagonal test.
Diagonal test How to perform a diagonal test:
Place your right hand on the back, right corner and your left hand on the front,
left corner of the unit, then attempt to rock the unit from corner to corner.
Then, move your right hand to the front, right side and your left hand to the
back, left corner and attempt to rock the unit from corner to corner.
If the unit is level, it will not rock. However, if the unit is not level, it will rock.
If the unit rocks, it will be necessary to adjust the leveling feet of the unit.
Adjust the foot under the hand that is on the front of the machine.

Lower the foot until there is no gap between floor and foot.
And only use adjustment rubber when difference at the leg adjustment is more than 10mm.
Step 3
Perform a Rinse and Spin with some clothing in the machine.
To do this, put 2~3kg of clothing in the unit, turn on the unit, Select the Rinse+Spin
and then start. When the unit reaches the spin cycle, watch for vibrations.
If the unit is vibrating, make small adjustments to the leg until they subside. (Repeat step 2)

[Pre Check]
• Gentle wash cycles, such as Perm Press, Delicates, Hand Wash, and Wool/Silk should only be used for smaller loads.
Because these cycles are more gentle in tumbling and spinning, putting too much in the drum can register an issue
with the motor. Remove items, reset unit and test with a Rinse/Spin cycle.

The hall sensor determines the speed and direction of the motor.
It also can read that the load is off balance when the drum speed fluctuates.
If measuring voltage from the Main PCB Assembly to the Hall Sensor, use the
following steps:
1. Unplug power cord.
2. Remove rear washer panel.
3. Locate Hall sensor connector on the stator behind the rotor.
4. Place meter leads on terminals 5 to 4, white to gray.
5. Plug in power cord, close door, and press power button.
DO NOT PRESS START!
6. You should measure 10 to 15 Vdc. If 10 to 15 Vdc is present, control board,
white wire, and gray wire are OK! If not follow testing output voltages on control
board in next section.
