 Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2011 4:10 pm Post subject: Washer / Dryer with English Instruction Book? |
 |
|
I am in the market for a new washer / dryer.
I can translate the buttons on the units, but I would really like to have an instruction book in English. There's just too many options on these units. On my present washer / dryer if I just push all default and start, it burns holes in everything, so the instructions are rather important. I know I am in Korea and don't expect everything to be translated to English, but still I hope...
I tried matching up units available in Korea with units in America or English (or India). but the Korean units all have entirely different button layouts, and probably entirely different functions.
If anyone has a washer / dryer here with English instructions, please let me know the model. Any other good ideas appreciated.
Thanks, |

If you know this, why did you ask the question? I am not trying to be snide but I see these questions all the time and I wonder about the people who ask them?
Just ask your co-teacher for help in translating or your students. Teaching them how to translate correctly will help them in their English studies. |

No co-teacher and no students.
User manuals are usually rather long and dull to have a friend translate.
Many appliances in many countries have user's manuals in several languages, not an outlandish think to look for. But alas, no luck yet for my washer / dryer. |

You'll just have to have a friend translate the buttons for you. It's not rocket science.
The one other thing you need to be concerned about ... and this goes for all of you reading this forum... is that you are supposed to buy a box of "Say-Tauk-Cho" cleaner and run it through every 4-6 months or so. If you're a single person, then once or twice a year is probably good. If you get a washer from another teacher, then do it right away.... it's probably never been done. It's sold for around 3,000 to 4,000 won a box at about every local grocery store. That will clean out the drum and eat away any calcium deposits.
If you don't use this, your whites will not look very clean.
Basically, for top-fill types, you fill the washer to the max with hot water and then pour in the cleaner (watch out -- it's nasty acidic powerful). Run the machine for a minute to mix it up, then turn the machine off for 3 or 4 hours. Then turn it back on and let it go through it's full cycle.
Directions are different for newer front-load models, and are on the box (in Korean). Can't remember what those are.
FYI-- cheapest place to buy this stuff is Daiso, if you have one close, when they have it in stock. |
