Last Update date : Dec 20. 2022

If the clothes are still damp after the drying cycle of the washing machine is finished, it is recommended to follow the important tips outlined below. You can check the amount and type of laundry and increase the drying time with the function to enhance the drying performance.

 

Quick solution for the damp clothes

Refer to the label of drying capacity and be sure to put in the clothes to the lower level than the marked line for the dried clothes of 6.0kg.

1. Open the door, put in the clothes, and close the door again.

2. Press the Power button and then press the Drying button.

The standard course will be selected automatically. Drying is not available for Eco Drum Clean, AIR Wash, and Wool courses.

3. Select Drying button as follows: Drying Programs( Every press of this button will select drying type repeatedly in the following order: Cup Board, Low Temp, Iron, Time Dry (30 min, 1:00 h,1:30 h, 2:00 h, 2:30 h, 3:00 h, 3:30 h, 4:00 h, 4:30 h).

Note:

For Auto Drying programs, this machine automatically displays Drying Time by sensing the weight of clothes before drying, and adjusting appropriately.

• For laundry weighing less than 3.0kg, use the Auto Dry. For laundry that weighs more, please use the Time Dry.

• If both the spin and drying cycles are selected, the spin speed is automatically selected to enhance the drying efficiency.

• When using the drying cycle, check if the water supply valve is opened.

4. Put a suitable amount of detergent and fiber softener in the detergent tray and close it again.

5. Press the Start/Pause button.

It automatically performs an optimal function from washing to drying.

• The selected course can’t be altered after the start of drying.

• If cold water is not supplied, drying will not be performed.

• In case you wish to dry after hand washing, select both Spin and Dry at the same time.

 

 

Add additional time to the dry cycle

·        If the time setting is shorter than the amount of laundry, increase the dry cycle time.

·        All drying cycles can automatically detect the weight of the laundry for more effective drying. 

·        It is recommended to use automatic drying when the amount of laundry is less than 3 kg.

Change the drying course from ironing to strong, If the drying course is set to ironing, the performance is weak, and therefore it is recommended to change the course to strong.

For more effective drying for hand-washed laundry, it is recommended to select the dehydration and drying courses together.


Do not mix different types of textiles

For more efficient drying, clothing must be separated by the type of textile. If you mix thick clothes and light fabric, all light fabrics will be dried after the course is completed. Thick fabrics can be less dried. It is strongly recommended to classify similar fabrics when using the drying course.
If you need to dry just one or two pieces of clothes, add one or more of the same types of laundry. This improves rotational capability and increases drying efficiency.

·        Thick Clothes: Towels, sweatshirts, vests, fleece clothing, etc. 

·        Thin Clothes: T-shirts, lingerie, activewear, socks, etc. 

Please follow the recommended course according to the washing label
Check the washing label and select the appropriate drying course by pressing the button according to the fiber type. Choosing a strong drying course is more effective if you have thick clothing or a high quantity.
 Delicate course: Suitable for lingerie and thin clothes

·        Wool course: Compliant with the specified capacity (1 kg), not fully dried to prevent damage to the clothes

·        Towel course: Recommended to dry alone

·        Jeans: Remove the pockets for even drying

·        Shirt course: Use 3 or fewer shirts

Note: Courses may vary by model.
