5.2 Lint Filter

The washing machine is equipped with a lint filter. Regularly clean the lint filter to ensure optimal washing performance and prevent lint buildup on clothes.

5.3 Exterior Cleaning

6. Troubleshooting

• Machine not starting: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in and the power button has been pressed. Check if the lid is properly closed.
• Excessive vibration or noise: Verify that the machine is placed on a flat, stable surface. The Auto Unbalance Detection (AUD) system will attempt to redistribute the load. If the issue persists, manually redistribute the laundry inside the tub. The shock-absorbing base and anti-vibration design help provide stability.
• Water not draining: Check if the drain hose is properly positioned and not kinked or blocked. Ensure the built-in drain pump is functioning correctly.
• Water leakage: Ensure all hose connections (inlet and drain) are secure and free from damage. Check the O-ring installation for the inlet hose.
• Error codes on LED display: Refer to the specific error code in the included manual for detailed troubleshooting steps.
