Illustration showing transit bolts on the back of the washing machine.

• Keep the transit bolts for future transportation. Whenever the machine is transported, the transit bolts must be refitted.

Use Process

Installation place requirement

• A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for a washing machine, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface.
• The machine must be level and securely positioned. The distance between the machine and wall must be more than 10 cm.
• To avoid vibrations during spinning, the machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings.

Diagram illustrating the washing machine placement, showing a 10cm distance requirement from the wall.

Level adjustment

The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect installation may increase electricity and water consumption and may cause the machine to move about.

To do these when the machine is not level:

• Using the spanner, turn locknut in a clockwise direction. Then turn locknuts together with adjust feet to unscrew.
• Use a spirit level to check the machine is standing level.
• Hold adjust feet securely with a pipe wrench. Turn locknut again using the spanner until it sits firmly up against the housing.

Diagram showing adjustable feet and locknuts, with indicators for 'Loose' and 'Locked', and 'High' and 'Low' adjustment.

? Note: Vibration and noise may occur if the locknuts do not sit firmly up against the houses.

Drain hose connection

1. Direct into a sink: If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place. Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink entering the washing machine. If required, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 4 m.

Diagram showing the drain hose connected to a sink trap, with a loop to prevent backflow.

Connected securely to a standpipe

2. Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the "U" piece supplied. Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe. When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the standpipe is no more than 90cm and no less than 60cm above floor level.

Illustration showing the "U" piece supplied for drain hose connection.

How to use washer

Use Process

Note:

The 'Daily' program is for Standard Cotton. Standard Cotton at 60 °C and 40 °C are suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and they are the most efficient programs in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing that type of cotton laundry; in addition, the actual water temperature may differ from the declared cycle temperature. The running time above is for the default programs, which is only for reference, and it may differ because of different laundries, weights and washing temperature. The "00" means the temperature of water is normal. The default options of the programs are in boldface.

Before washing clothes for the first time, you must run a complete cycle without clothes.

To do these:

1. Connect the power and turn on the tap.
2. Turn the knob to position "Daily".
3. Press "Start / pause".

It can remove the water which is left in the tub because of manufacturer's checking out.

Washing preparation

1. Connect the inlet hoses well and turn on the tap.
2. After making sure the power socket is grounded reliably, insert the power plug into the power socket.
3. Place the drain hose well.

Preparation of clothes

1. Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.
2. Make sure all the pockets are empty. Foreign objects (e.g., nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine. (Diagram 1: Illustration of checking pockets for foreign objects.)
3. Close any zips, fasten hooks and eyes etc before washing. (Diagram 2: Illustration of fastening zips and hooks.)
4. Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash whites and coloureds separately.
5. Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should be pre-treated with liquid detergent, stain removers etc.
6. Turn over the clothes which pill easily and is with woolen surface before putting them into the machine. (Diagram 3: Illustration of turning over clothes with woolen surfaces.)

Put clothes into the washer

Unfold the laundry and load loosely in the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning. The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency.

? Note: Make sure that no garments are caught between the door and the seal.

Illustration of the washing machine drum.

Using the detergent drawer

1. Open the drawer and add adequate detergent into main wash compartment marked "\II/" or " II".
2. Add the fabric softener into compartment marked " [softener icon] " or " [softener icon] ". Do not exceed the maximum level mark.
3. Add the detergent into the pre-wash compartment marked " [pre-wash icon] " or " [pre-wash icon] " according to the programme you select.
