What do the error codes displayed on the washing machine mean?
The machine displays specific error codes to indicate different faults: water pressure sensing error, overfilling water problem, door not closed, motor overload, water inlet trouble, drainage trouble, imbalance trouble, and water temperature trouble. If any of these error codes appear, you should refer to the troubleshooting guide for the appropriate solution. If the error is not resolved, unplugging the machine and calling for service is recommended.
How do I activate and deactivate the Child Lock feature?
Child Lock is activated by pressing the Wash button and Rinse button simultaneously, which makes all buttons inoperable. To deactivate it, press the Wash and Rinse buttons simultaneously again. When Child Lock is active, the child lock symbol is displayed on the control panel, and it is automatically canceled when operational errors occur or when the cycle ends.
How do I remove and clean the drain pump filter?
Open the lower cover cap using a coin, then turn the drain plug to pull out the hose and allow water to drain into a vessel. Turn the pump filter to the left to open it, remove any foreign material, then turn the pump filter clockwise to close it, reinsert the drain plug, and close the lower cover cap. It is important to unplug the electrical power cord before cleaning the washer interior to avoid electrical shock.
How do I remove the transit bolts before using the washing machine for the first time?
Before operating the washer, you must remove the 4 transit bolts that were installed to prevent internal damage during transport. Unscrew the 4 bolts with the supplied spanner, then take them out along with the rubber bungs by slightly twisting the bung. Close the holes with the supplied caps, and keep the 4 bolts and spanner for future use, as they must be refitted whenever the appliance is transported.

What type of detergent should I use in the WM-1060F(H)D?
You should use powder detergent only for this front loading washer. Do not use more detergent than the recommended amount, as too many suds will decrease washing results or cause heavy load on the motor. Detergent usage may need to be adjusted based on water temperature, water hardness, and size and soil level of the load.
What are the machine's key specifications such as capacity, power, and dimensions?
The WM-1060F(H)D has a wash capacity of 7.0 kg and a maximum power consumption of 2100W. Its dimensions are 600mm (W) x 600mm (D) x 850mm (H), and it weighs 65 kg. The power supply required is 220-240V~, 50Hz, and the permissible water pressure is 0.3-10 kgf/cm² (30-1000 kPa).
How do I use the Time Delay function?
To use Time Delay, first turn on the water tap, load laundry, close the door, and add detergent, then press the Power button, select your program, press the Time Delay button to set the desired time, and press Start/Pause. The minimum delay time is 3 hours and the maximum is 19 hours, with each button press advancing the delay by one hour. To cancel Time Delay, press the Power button.
What should I do if the washing machine vibrates excessively?
Excessive vibration is often caused by the transit bolts not being removed during installation, or the leveling feet not being properly adjusted. Make sure all four feet are stable and resting on the floor, and verify the appliance is perfectly level using a spirit level. An unevenly distributed wash load can also cause vibration, so stop the washer and rearrange the laundry if necessary.
How should I winterize the washing machine if storing it in a freezing environment?
To winterize, turn off the water supply, disconnect and drain the hoses, then add 1 gallon (3.8L) of nontoxic RV antifreeze to the empty drum, close the door, and run a spin cycle for 1 minute to drain out water. Then unplug the power cord, dry the drum interior, remove and dry the dispenser drawer compartments, and store the washer upright. When returning the washer to service, run an empty complete cycle with detergent to remove the antifreeze before adding laundry.
