Using liquid detergent

1. Add the detergent to below the Max line.
If the detergent exceeds the Max line, the detergent will be dispensed early.
Check the recommended amount to use in relation to the quantity of laundry as indicated on the detergent packaging.

2. As washing progresses, water comes out and mixes with the liquid detergent, and the detergent water mix is dispensed into the drum.

Clean the detergent dispenser periodically.

Liquid detergents with high viscosity may not be entirely released into the tub, with some of it remaining in the liquid detergent cup.
Periodically, separate the liquid detergent cup and the liquid detergent cup cap and clean away any remaining detergent.

※ After cleaning, make sure to reassemble the cup before further use.
