Correct use

• To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the washing machine, do not install it in a place where it is damp and where it suffers from rainfall.
• Do not install the washing machine in a place where it suffers from the sun directly, in which plastic or components will be damaged. It will be shortened the life of your washing machine.
• Do not install the washing machine in a place where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below the freezing point.
• Do not shoot the washing machine with water when you clean it.
• Keep the washing machine away from fire or heat sources.
• Before using the washing machine for the first time, make sure that the transit bolts at the rear of the machine have been removed. During spinning, transit bolts that are still in place may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
• Turn off the tap if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.
• Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry. These may damage components of the machine (e.g. drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.
• Do not wash water-repellent things(e.g. raincoats) with a washing machine.
• Only remove laundry from the washing machine once the drum has stopped turning. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous and could result in injury.

To do these when the machine is not level:

• Using the spanner turn locknut in a clockwise direction. Then turn locknuts together with adjustable feet to unscrew.
• Hold adjust feet securely with a pipe wrench. Turn locknut again using the spanner until it sits firmly up against the housing.

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 it with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink from entering the washing machine. If required, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 4 m.
   
2. Connected securely to a standpipe
   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 30mm 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.

Water inlet connection
Connect the inlet hose supplied with the machine to a tap with a 3/4″ thread.
Do not use previously employed hoses.
Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations ‘ requirements.

When there is an inlet valve at the back of the machine, it must be connected to a cold water supply. If there are two inlet valves, one is connected to a cold water supply and the other is connected to a hot water supply. Follow the indication of the picture below to complete the connection.

6. Turn over the clothes that pill easily and is with the woolen surface before putting them into the machine.

Put clothes into the washer
Unfold the laundry and load it 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.

Make sure that no garments are nipped between the door and the seal.

Using the detergent drawer

1. Open the drawer and add adequate detergent into the main wash compartment marked “ ” or “II ”.
2. Add the fabric softener into a compartment marked
   Do not exceed the maximum level mark.
3.  Close the drawer.

The right amount to dispenser will depend on the following:

• The quantity of laundry
• The soiling level of the laundry
  – Lightly soiled
  No visible dirt or stains. Possibly slight body odor.
  – Normally soiled
  Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight stains.
  – Heavily soiled
  Visible dirt and stains and/or dried on soiling.
• The water hardness level.

It is recommended to use low foaming powder for all washing temperature programs.

Washing steps

1. Turn on the water tap, and connect the power.
