NOTES:

• Transport the washer for the prevention of breakage as below:
• The transport bolts are reinstalled.
• The power cord is secured to the back of the washer.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION
Locations the appliance is not to be installed

• In a damp place or where the washer may be exposed to rain, etc.(As this could cause electric shock or fire)
• Locations that are uneven, or unstable (As this could cause vibration and noise).
• In direct sunlight (As this could cause malfunction or deformation)
• Within, or on top of, unstable surfaces, including but not limited to benchtops, timber shelving, or cabinets.

• (a) 3cm or more above
• (b) 5cm or more behind
• (c) 2cm or more on the left side
• (d) 2cm or more on the right side
• (e) 64cm or more

CAUTION: Do not let metallic portions of the washer come into contact with metal sinks or other appliances.

LEVELLING THE WASHER

Importance of levelling the washer
The washer uses high spin speeds to remove water at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that the washer is level and that the washer feet press with equal pressure against the floor. This will help assure the quietest, most vibration-free use of the washer.

Follow these steps:

1. Install the washer on a level and solid surface. Preferably in a corner of a room.
2. If the floor is uneven (or out of level ) adjust the washer feet as required to level the washer. Do not place anything under the washer feet to help level the washer.
3. Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The more the feet are extended, the more vibration the washer will experience. Start with the washer feet turned all the way in and adjust each foot as necessary.
4. Use a bubble level (no supplied) to check the top of the washer to make sure it is level side to side and front to rear.
5. Press down on each corner of the washer top to make sure the washer doesn’t “wobble”. There should be no “give” or movement. All the washer feet should press equally against the floor. This is just as important as the washer being level to prevent vibration.
6. When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock the washer feet in place by tightening the locknuts against the washer bottom. Be sure to do this without changing the height of the foot (hold the foot while tightening the locknut)

Procedure for adjusting the appliance feet:

1. After determining which the washer feet need to be extended, have someone lift up on the washer slightly to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.
2. Turn the washer foot to extend it downward as far as necessary to raise the corner of the washer the correct amount to level the washer.
3. When the height of the foot is correct, use the wrench (supplied) to tighten the locknut against the washer bottom. The locknut should be tightened against the bottom of the washer to lock the foot in place.

CONNECTION THE ELECTRICITY AND WATER SUPPLIES

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect one end of the water inlet hose to a cold water tap and tighten by hand (see figure). Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the water inlet valve on the rear of the appliance and tighten by hand.
3. Turn on the tap slowly and make sure there are no leaks.

• Do not twist, squash, modify or cut the hose.
• Tighten the end of the hose firmly by hand.
• The supply water pressure must be in the
• 0.03—1.0MPa range. If the water pressure exceeds
• this value, please fit a pressure reducing valve.
• If the hose is not long enough, contact a
• specialized shop or an authorized technician.
• Never use second-hand water inlet hose.
• Use the new water inlet hose supplied with the washer.

Connecting the drain hose
Height of drain point
Height difference between the floor and drainage point: min. 60cm(24 in.) and max. 100cm(39 in.).

Types of drainage hook-ups

• Standpipe

Attach the drain hose to the elbow (no supplied, available from our Customer Service Department). Position the elbow on the drain hose 4″ from end of the hose as shown. Insert this section of the drain hose into the drainpipe. Secure the elbow and hose with a nylon tie strap or the equivalent to keep the hose from coming out of the drainpipe during use.

• Sink siphon

Secure the drain hose to the sink siphon using a Ǿ0.9-1.6 in.(20-44mm) hose clip (available from a hardware store). Before connecting the drain hose ensure that any blanks or removable ends have been taken off the spigot.

• Wash Basin

Make sure that:

• There is no stopper in the sink drain.
• The end of the drain hose does touch the discharge water.
• The sink drain is free flowing and not partially clogged.

Attach the drain hose securely to the wash basin.

• Do not twist, pull out or bend the drain hose.
• We advise against the use of hose extensions; in case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150cms in length. Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a standpipe, that the end does not go down more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down too far, this may cause the washer to self-syphon i.e. continuously empty as it is filling.

Electric connection
Before plugging the washer into the mains socket, make sure that:

• The socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law.
• The socket is able to sustain the appliance’s maximum power load indicated on the Technical Date Plate fixed on the machine.

Load balancing system
The washer has an automatic detection system for eccentric load. In the process of spinning, if the clothes are unevenly distributed, the washer will level and adjust the clothes until the clothes are evenly distributed before spinning. If the clothes cannot be evenly distributed within the specified time, the washer will not spin to avoid severe vibration of the machine. At this time, you need to check whether the clothes are knotted or entangled and select the “Spin” program after reorganizing the clothes. When washing less clothes, such as a pair of jeans, a sweater, a bath towel, etc., the machine may not complete the spinning process due to balance protection. Please wash the large and small clothes together as much as possible to make the clothes easier to release evenly and complete the spinning process smoothly.
NOTICE: Due to the different types and materials of the laundry, the automatic adjustment and balance system of the washer may level and adjust the clothes for many times to prolong the spinning time. This is a normal phenomenon, not a machine failure.

Before loading your first load of laundry
Your new washer was tested before leaving the factory. This process involves running various wash cycles. As a result, a small amount of water may remain in the tub and drainage system. Run a Drum Clean cycle with no laundry to clean the system before your first load of laundry.

Care and Maintenance

Your washer is designed to give you years of service. Observe the following instructions to maintain and protect your washer and keep it in top operating condition.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

• To avoid risk of electric shock always disconnect the washer from the power outlet prior to cleaning.
• Never clean the washer with a pressure washer.

Cutting off the water and electricity supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washer and help to prevent leaks.
• Unplug the washer when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the appliance’s exterior
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSION
To avoid risk of explosion never clean the washer with flammable solvents.
Clean the washer’s exterior surface when required as follows:

• Use hot soapy water or a mild (non-abrasive) cleaning agent.
• Rub dry with a soft towel.
• Remove residue immediately.
• Do not use high pressure spray.

Cleaning the drum
Metallic debris left in the drum can product rust spots on the drum. Never use steel wool to try to remove these. Use a chlorine-free cleaning agent and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Descaling the washer
Provided that you use correct amounts of detergent with you wash loads, descaling is not necessary. If descaling the washer drum does become necessary, please follow the descaling product manufacturer’s instructions.
Small amounts of descaling agent can be used to remove white spots on the washer drum caused by lime or mineral deposits, or small amounts of rust caused by metal objects left in the drum.

NOTICE: Descaling agents contain acids which may attack parts of the washer and may discolour the laundry.

Caring for the door and drum of your appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately, during the wash cycle, water pressure is very strong, and a cracked water inlet hose could easily spilt open.

• Never use second-hand water inlet hose.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser
If there is a buildup of residual detergent or additives, or if the softener compartment is not rinsed out well enough, it may be helpful to clean the dispenser.

1. Open the detergent dispenser tray fully. Press down on the drawer catch (1) and pull the the tray (2) from the washer housing.
2. Remove the liquid detergent cover (3) by grasping it and pulling it upwards from the detergent dispenser tray.
3. Clean the liquid detergent cover and the detergent dispenser tray by holding it under runing water. Lightly wipe away any remaining detergent residue.
4. Attach the liquid detergent cover and slide the detergent dispenser tray back in place and close the tray securely.

Tip: Do not operate the washer without the detergent dispenser tray in place. Always keep the tray completely closed.

Cleaning the mesh filter in the water supply hose

1. Close water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose.
2. Clean the mesh filter at the hose’s end carefully with a fine brush.
3. Now unscrew the inlet hose on the back of the washer by hand. Pull out the mesh filter from the valve on the back of the washer with pliers and carefully clean it.
4. Insert the mesh filter again. Connect the inlet hose to the water tap and washer again. Do not use a tool to connect the inlet hose. Open the water tap and check that all connections are tight.

Cleaning the drain pump

WARNING: RISK OF SCALDING
Risk of hot water injury to skin!
Allow the water to cool down prior to actuating the emergency door lock release.
You are responsible for ensuring all safety precautions are followed when draining water from washer and/or manually opening the washer door.
It may be necessary to clean the washer drain pump if the washer fails to drain (sound of the water being pumped from the washer cannot be heard when the washer should be draining and other nearby drains, such as a sink, are draining properly).
The washer pump can become blocked by loose debris (a good reason to check the drum and remove any visible debris after each load). Fabrics that give off large amounts of fluff may also cause blockage.
To access the washer, drain pump, the service cover must first be opened (see steps below). With the service cover opened, proceed as follows:

1. If the washer has not been drained, try to drain it now. Turn the wash cycle selector knob to the Spin cycle, press the SPEED button to set the spin cycle is turned off (all spinning speed value indicator light go out on the display), then press the Start/Pause button. Wait a few moments to let the cycle drain the water from the drum. If the pump is totally blocked, the water will be unable to drain, and the cycle will end.

2. Shut off the tap so that no more water flows in and has to be drained. Switch the appliance off.
   Unplug the power plug.

3. Open the drain filter cover.

4. Use the pull-out drain hose located in the pump access opening to drain the remaining water into a suitable container (up to 20 litres of water may be drained). Pull the sealing cap from the hose and lay the hose over the side of the container and allow the water to finish draining from the drum. When finished, replace the sealing cap into the end of the hose and restore the hose to its storage location.

5. Turn the pump cover counterclockwise to remove it. A small amount of residual water may flow out when the cover is removed. Clean the interior of the pump hosing, removing any debris or foreign objects. Check to be sure the impeller where at the back of the pump housing can now turn freely. Remove any lint, debris, or detergent residue from the threads of the pump cover and the pump cover housing. Replace the pump cover by screwing tightly into position. Handle must be vertically.

6. Close the drain filter cover. Wipe up any spilled water.

Troubleshooting

Your washer could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the service centre, make sure that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list

socket fully, or not enough to make contact.

There is not power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug.

The wash cycle does not start| The door is not closed properly.

The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.

The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into washer.

A delayed start has been set.

The machine does not fill with water or “E02” in the display| The water inlet hose is kinked.

The water inlet hose is not connected to the water supply. The water pressure is too low.

The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.

There is no water supply to the house. The inlet valve filter is blocked.

The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

The machine continuously fills with water and continually drains away, or Water left in the drum or Stuck on wash| The top of the drain hose is too low – It must be fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).

The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to run into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose.

The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the

“U” bracket should be fitted 100mm from the end of the drain hose.

The machine does not drain or spin or “E03” in the display| The pump filter is blocked.

The drain hose is kinked (see “Installation”).

New Installation – The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed if connected under a sink.

The drain hose or sink trap is blocked.

The machine does not

spin

| The spin cycle is turned off (all spinning speed value indicator light go out on

the display).

The program takes too long| Program times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water temperature and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the program times accordingly (see “The machine wont spin properly” next

page).

The machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle| The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock.

New Installation – Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacer, or the Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine. The washer is trapped between cabinets and/or walls.

The load is in a slight out of balance condition and the washer is spinning, but at a lower speed.

ONE TOUCH wash cycle

does not activate

| After switching on the washer, a cycle other than ONE TOUCH wash cycle was activated. Switch the machine off and press the ONE TOUCH button.
The machine is noisy| There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin.
The machine wont spin properly| Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle – If this happens the washer will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the load required before the machine will go into higher spin speeds – This will increase the program time accordingly. This is a safety feature to prevent damage. Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (e.g.,

down, quilt, etc). – Try the programme again using a different load.

---|---
The machine leaks from the dispenser| The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning. The water pressure is too high and requires turning down – turn down the tap on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.

The washer is tilting forwards – It must be level when in its final position.

The machine leaks (other than dispenser)| The inlet hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends .

The inlet hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the inlet hose is missing the rubber washer.

The drain hose is not fixed in properly.

The machine smells| The washer requires a service wash. Run a “Drum Clean” wash cycle with

detergent and no laundry.

The machine door cannot be opened.| The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out shortly after the program has finished.

If there is no power to the machine you need to perform the manual

unlocking procedure.

The water level is too low when the machine

is washing

| The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door
There is too much foam| The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text

“for washing machines” or “hand and machine wash” or the like).

Too much detergent was used – less detergent is required in soft water.

General| Your washer contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash cycle (e.g.: Water level, Temperature, Out of balance loads, Wash time/progress). Normally, if your washer successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to

be anything wrong!

In case of the following faults, the fault state will be detected by the microcomputer system, with the buzzer sounds issued and the following fault codes display:

water supply is cut off? Whether the water inlet hose and the filter of the water inlet valve are blocked? and whether the water inlet hose of the washing machine is frozen? In such case, please contact the service centre for repair.
E03| Abnormal water drainage| Clean the pump filter. Check whether the drain hose is bent, twisted or blocked? If the fault still exists, please contact the service centre for repair.
U4| Door lock malfunction| Close the door again, and then press the START/PAUSE button to restart the program. If the fault still exists, please contact the service centre for repair.
H| The temperature in the drum is high| Press the START/PAUSE button to suspend the washing machine operation and wait for several minutes. When the temperature in the drum drops to a safe range and the fault code on the display is removed, press the START/PAUSE button to continue the rest of the program.
EXX| Other faults| Turn the washing cycle selector knob to the “OFF” position to turn off the power supply, unplug the power cord, and contact the service centre for repair as soon as possible.

Note: Be sure to check the fault cause and eliminate the fault before pressing the START/PAUSE button again. If the fault code is removed, the washer will continue to run, and if the fault code still exists, please unplug the power cord, and call our customer service centre for help as soon as possible.
