To prevent coarse textures
Items such as towels can feel coarse after
washing due to flattened piles.
 Use a fabric softener.
 Wash using the [SOFT] program.
(P. 34)
 For items that feel coarse after drying,
run the [DRY] > [FUZZY] program for an
additional 30 minutes. (P. 39)
To prevent color bleeding and darkening (P. 94)
 Separate items that are likely to bleed color when washing.

How to load the laundry into the drum
 Distribute the laundry evenly and avoid 
concentration on one side.
 Large items (sheets, cotton blankets, etc.), thick items (jeans, 
sweatshirts, etc.), small loads, and mats of various types should
be washed together with other laundry.
 Such items tend to gravitate to one side when washed alone, resulting in
excessive vibration and insufficient drying during the spin cycle. (P.
 When drying a small load of laundry (about 
1 kg or less), place a dry towel together with
the laundry.
 Small loads of laundry may result in insufficient
drying. Placing a dry towel or similar item together
with the laundry will reduce unevenness in drying.
To rinse thoroughly
 Increase the number of rinse cycles.
 Use the Water-Injection Rinse function.
 Decrease the amount of detergent.
 Place the laundry behind the 5-Ply Liquid 
Load Balancer.
 Failure to do so may cause the laundry to get
caught between the door and the door bellows,
resulting in damage to the laundry and the door
bellows.
Place smaller items into the back
of the drum first, and then load the
remaining laundry.
 We recommend using the
optional washing cap.
Cotton blanket, etc.

 Do not overload the machine with laundry. 
 Overflowing laundry may result in damage to the

washing and drying results.
