Washing takes longer than the specified in the manual.(*)
• Water pressure is low. >>> Machine waits until taking in adequate amount of water to prevent poor washing
quality due to the decreased amount of water. Therefore, the washing time extends.
• Voltage might be low. >>> Washing time is prolonged to avoid poor washing results when the supply voltage is
low.
• Input temperature of water might be low. >>> Required time to heat up the water extends in cold seasons. Also,
washing time can be lengthened to avoid poor washing results.
• Number of rinses and/or amount of rinse water might have increased. >>> Machine increases the amount of rinse
water when good rinsing is needed and adds an extra rinsing step if necessary.
• Excessive foam might have occurred and automatic foam absorption system might have been activated due to too
much detergent usage. >>> Use recommended amount of detergent.
