Tips for best results

Before washing:

• Empty all pockets.
• Remove metal parts.
• Close any zips and fasten hooks etc before washing.
• Do not wash anything in the machine that is specified as non-machine washable on the wash care label.

While sorting:

• Separate polyester fabrics from cotton fabrics.
• Try to have a mix of large and small clothes in each wash load.
• Dark clothes should be washed separately and not with whites.

While loading:

• Load large items first, preferably half the wash load.
• Do not wash single items - add one or two similar items.
• Place small items like infants' socks, nylon stockings, handkerchiefs etc in a laundry bag, pillow case or something similar as they may get caught around the door. This will also save your laundry from getting lost.

Water softening:

• In case of hard water, use water softening agents or adjust detergent dosage as recommended by the detergent manufacturer.

Easy tips to remove stains

• Ensure you use warm water for soaking or pre-washing stained laundry.
• Fresh stains are easier to remove.
• Knowing what kind of stain it is, how old it is, what kind of fabric it is and whether the fabric is colour-fast (check the care label) always helps treat a stain better.
• Always start with cold or warm water as hot water can set in stains. Washing and drying can sometimes set in stains.
• When bleach is recommended, always use a fabric safe one.
• Put the stained area face down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to the back of the stain. This forces the stain off the fabric instead of through it.

Maintenance and cleaning of your washing machine

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

• Remove detergent residues regularly.
• Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer.
• Clean the detergent dispenser drawer with warm water.
• Clean the siphon. Remove the siphon from the compartment and wash under running warm water.
• Detergent residues can build up in the water jets on top of the detergent dispenser drawer housing.
• Before fixing the detergent dispenser drawer, use a bottle brush to clean them out.

Cleaning the water hose mesh filter

• Turn OFF taps. Disconnect power supply to the machine.
• Unscrew the inlet hose from the machine and tap.
• Drain water from the hose.
• Remove the filter mesh from the tap end of the inlet hose and clean under running water with a brush.
• Pull the sieve out of the magnetic valve with a pair of flat nosed pliers. Clean the sieve under running water with a brush. Then fit the sieve back into the valve.
• Screw the inlet hose back to the machine and the tap. Ensure that the sieve and filter are in place. Turn ON the water tap to check if the connection is watertight.
• Note: Presence of excess dirt/sediments/sand in water can affect the wash quality as well as the reliability of water inlet valve.

Cleaning the filter

• Filter should be cleaned frequently in order to increase the life of the drain pump.
• Open the detachable bottom door by using a coin or key.
• Place a shallow container near the bottom door. Pull out the drain hose and open the drain plug to drain the water from the machine into the container.
• After draining the water through the drain plug, open the filter by rotating it anti-clockwise and remove foreign objects like coins, pins or hooks, if any.
• Tighten the filter and drain plug to their original positions and close the bottom door.
• Do not open the filter during a program run.

Tub Clean Program

Run this program to eliminate any impurities, scaling, bacteria and unpleasant smell from the washing machine. Before running the Tub Clean program, empty the washing machine drum; there should not be any clothes in the washing machine during the Tub Clean program.
