So this isn't about translating the buttons on my washer. That's done. But it seems to have no delicate setting. It does have a wool setting. I've been using that and so far so good but it takes forever and I'm worried because the water is quite warm and the shirts are coloured. Can I use the wool setting to wash my dress shirts and other delicates? Or do I have to do something else? Or maybe I got part of the translation wrong? (although I got it checked by some K teachers I work with and they said it was all good). And does anyone in Incheon have a good desk they can sell me?

doesn't it have a separate button by which you can adjust the temperature? i.e. set it to "wool" (default temperature = warm), then separately adjust the temperature of the water to cold.

if you can't do that, just get a big bucket and handwash your delicates

There are two lights on the panel. One for hot water and one for cold. When I set it to wool the light says the water is cold but the water is actually quite warm. One light can be lit up, or both can. But not when I have it on the wool setting (I assume when both lights are on the water will be warm, then one light on hot, and when it's just the other one on - cold). Can I wash my delicates on the wool setting without having the colours run out? I thought anything delicate including wool had to be cold water.

I wash mine at 30'.

It should be OK.

if your machine is hooked up to two taps (hot and cold) then just twist off the hot tap so only the cold water goes in.

if it only fills with the hot water and not the cold one, then just swap the pipes over to opposite taps when you want to wash delicates and move them back when done.
