What is Mini Washer?

➔ Mini Washer is a washing machine that quickly and efficiently washes children's clothes that need to be washed several times a day, underwear that you wish to wash immediately, and dishcloths that you wish to boil separately with less energy and water.

Since less water is used, it is recommended to observe the prescribed amount of detergent.
Use a detergent specialized for front-load washing machines and add the correct amount of detergent using the provided detergent measuring cup.
When you use more than the correct amount of detergent, undissolved detergent may be accumulated in the washing machine and cause an odor.

How to add detergent according to the detergent type

If laundry is left in the tub for a long period of time, there may be an odor.

➔ After washing is finished, remove laundry immediately, and wipe off water from inside the tub, door gasket and inside the door glass with a dry towel.

It is much better to remove water by opening the door completely and allowing the tub to dry naturally.

Try Tub Clean cycle.

➔ When the door has not been opened for a long period of time so that there is a moldy/musty odor, when using the washing machine for the 31st time after using it 30 times and when TCL blinks on the remaining time display, you can always keep the tub clean by cleaning the tub using the recommended tub cleaner.

(Cleaning is most effective when it is carried out monthly.)
