4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Unpacking
Remove all packaging materials, including the polystyrene base and any protective films. Inspect the machine for any damage. Keep packaging materials for potential future transport.
4.2 Removing Transit Bolts
Before operating, remove the transit bolts located at the rear of the machine. These bolts secure the drum during transport. Failure to remove them will cause excessive vibration and damage. Use the provided wrench to loosen and remove them, then cover the holes with the plastic caps supplied.
4.3 Leveling the Machine
Adjust the feet at the bottom of the machine until it is perfectly level and stable. Use a spirit level to ensure accuracy. A level machine reduces vibration and noise during operation.
4.4 Water Connection
Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4-inch thread. Ensure the connections are tight to prevent leaks. Do not use old hoses; always use the new hoses supplied with the appliance.
4.5 Drain Hose Connection
Securely attach the drain hose to a standpipe or over the edge of a sink, ensuring it is at a height between 60 cm and 100 cm from the floor. The end of the hose must not be submerged in water to prevent siphoning.
4.6 Electrical Connection
Plug the machine into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage and frequency specified on the rating plate match your local power supply. Do not use extension cords or multi-plugs.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Preparing Laundry
- Sort laundry by fabric type, color, and degree of soiling.
- Check garment care labels for washing instructions.
- Empty pockets and close zippers and hooks to prevent damage.
5.2 Loading Laundry
Open the loading door and place laundry loosely into the drum. Do not overload the machine; leave enough space for clothes to tumble freely. The maximum capacity for this model is 9 kg.
5.3 Adding Detergent and Additives
Pull out the detergent drawer (refer to Figure 3.3). Add detergent to the main wash compartment (II) and fabric softener to the designated compartment (flower symbol). If using pre-wash, add detergent to compartment (I). Follow detergent manufacturer's recommendations for dosage.
5.4 Selecting a Program
Turn the program selection knob (refer to Figure 3.4) to choose the desired wash program. Available programs include:
- SteamTherapy: For refreshing clothes and reducing wrinkles.
- Cottons/Algodoes: For durable cotton items.
- Eco 40-60: Energy-efficient program for normally soiled cottons.
- Synthetics: For synthetic and mixed fabrics.
- Quick 28'/14': Fast wash for lightly soiled items.
- Delicates: For delicate items requiring gentle care.
- Bulky Items: For larger items like blankets or duvets.
- Rinse & Spin: For rinsing and spinning items separately.
- Spin + Drain: For draining water and spinning laundry.
5.5 Adjusting Program Settings
After selecting a program, you can adjust settings such as temperature, spin speed, and add auxiliary functions (e.g., pre-wash, extra rinse, delay start) using the buttons on the control panel. The digital display will show the selected settings and remaining time.
5.6 Starting the Wash Cycle
Press the Start/Pause button to begin the selected wash program. The door will lock, and the machine will start filling with water.
5.7 Ending the Cycle
Once the program is complete, the machine will signal with an audible alert and/or a message on the display. The door will unlock after a short delay. Remove laundry promptly to prevent wrinkles.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
6.1 Cleaning the Detergent Drawer
Periodically remove the detergent drawer and clean it under running water to remove any detergent residue. Use a brush if necessary. Reinsert the drawer once clean and dry.
6.2 Cleaning the Door Seal
Wipe the rubber door seal after each wash to remove lint, dirt, and moisture. This prevents mold growth and unpleasant odors.
6.3 Cleaning the Pump Filter
The pump filter should be cleaned regularly (every few months or if drainage issues occur). Open the small cover at the bottom front of the machine, place a shallow container underneath to catch water, and slowly unscrew the filter. Remove any debris and clean the filter under running water. Reinsert and tighten securely.
6.4 Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters
If water filling is slow, the water inlet filters may be clogged. Close the water tap, disconnect the inlet hose, and clean the filters located at the tap end and the machine end of the hose using a small brush or pliers. Reconnect securely.
6.5 Descaling
In areas with hard water, descaling may be necessary. Use a suitable descaling agent specifically designed for washing machines, following the product's instructions.
6.6 Winter Storage
If the machine is to be stored in an unheated area during winter, drain all remaining water from the machine to prevent freezing and damage. Disconnect water hoses and run a drain cycle if possible.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine does not start | No power; door not closed; Start/Pause not pressed. | Check power supply; ensure door is latched; press Start/Pause. |
| Water not filling | Water tap closed; inlet hose kinked; inlet filter clogged. | Open water tap; straighten hose; clean inlet filters. |
| Water not draining | Drain hose kinked; pump filter clogged. | Straighten drain hose; clean pump filter. |
| Excessive vibration/noise | Transit bolts not removed; machine not level; uneven load. | Remove transit bolts; level the machine; redistribute laundry. |
| Poor wash results | Overloading; incorrect detergent dosage; wrong program. | Reduce load; adjust detergent; select appropriate program. |
If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact authorized service personnel.
