04 – Preparation

Things to be done for energy saving

Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy-efficient manner.

• Operate the product to the highest capacity allowed by the programme you have selected, but do not overload; see, “Programme and consumption table”.

• Always follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.

• Wash slightly soiled laundry at low temperatures.

• Use faster programmes for small quantities of lightly soiled laundry.

• Do not use prewash and high temperatures for laundry that is not heavily soiled or stained.

• If you plan to dry your laundry in a dryer, select the highest spin speed recommended during washing process.

• Do not use detergent in excess of the amount recommended on the detergent package.

Sorting the laundry

• Sort laundry according to type of fabric, colour, and degree of soiling and allowable water temperature.

• Always obey the instructions given on the garment tags.

This machine will –

• Wash laundry – up to 8kg

• Dry laundry – up to 5kg

• Wash and dry laundry – up to 5kg

Non machine-washable Do not wash Dry-cleanable Do not dry-clean Dry horizontally Dry on a hanger

Preparing laundry for washing

• Laundry items with metal attachments such as, under-wired bras, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove the metal pieces or wash the clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or pillow case.

• Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn pockets inside out and brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause noise problems.

• Put small size clothes such as infant’s socks and nylon stockings in a laundry bag or pillow case.

• Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove curtain hooks etc.

• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.

• Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labelled products only with an appropriate programme.

• Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.

• Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If unsure, check with a dry cleaner.

• Use only dyes/colour changers and lime scale removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the package.

• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.

• Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This will reduce piling.

• Laundry that is subjected to materials such as fl our, lime dust, milk powder, etc. Must be shaken before placing into the machine. Such dusts and powders on the laundry may build up on the inner parts of the machine in time and can cause damage.

Correct load capacity

The maximum load capacity depends on the type of laundry, the degree of soiling and the washing programme desired.

• The machine automatically adjusts the amount of water according to the weight of the loaded laundry.

Follow the information in the “Programme and consumption table”. When overloaded, machine’s washing performance will drop. Moreover, noise and vibration problems may occur.

1. Left compartment with number “II” (Main wash compartment for powder detergent orpowder bleach/stain remover)

2. Left compartment with number “II ” (Main wash compartment for liquid detergent or liquid stain remover)

3. Middle compartment with number “I” (pre wash compartment for powder detergent, powder stain remover or liquid bleach – liquid bleach must be added either during the pre wash or during the fi rst rinsing step of the washing Programme). Liquid bleach must be added manually while the machine takes in water.

4. Right compartment with “ ” symbol (liquid softener compartment).

(II) Main Wash Compartment

Before starting the washing Programme, put powder detergent into the left compartment with number “II”. Use the detergent manufacturer’s measuring cup and follow the instructions on the package. Powder bleach/stain remover must also be put into this compartment.

Put liquid detergent into the main wash compartment “II ” before starting the washing Programme. Liquid stain remover must also be put into this compartment.

Put the suggested amount of liquid detergent into the left compartment with “II ” symbol and dilute it to the maximum filling level line (max. II ) with warm water.

Particularly concentrated detergents must be diluted with warm water; otherwise, the siphon may

Preparation

get clogged in time.

Do not fi ll the detergent above the maximum fi lling level line; otherwise the excess amount of detergent will reach the laundry without water and may cause stains on the garments. Do not pour the detergent onto the laundry directly since this may cause stains on the garments.

Liquid Softener Compartment

Put the suggested amount of liquid softener into the right compartment with “ ” symbol and dilute it to the maximum fi lling level line (Max. ) With warm water. Particularly the concentrated softeners must be diluted with warm water; otherwise, the siphon may get clogged in time.

Do not fi ll the softener above the maximum fi lling level line; otherwise the excess amount of softener will get mixed with the washing water and you will need to refi ll the compartment. Do not pour the softener onto the laundry directly since this may cause stains on the garments.

Liquid softener will be dispensed automatically at the fi nal rinsing step of the washing Programme.

(I) Pre-wash Compartment

Put the powder pre-wash detergent or powder stain remover into the middle compartment with number “I”.

You can also put liquid bleach into this

compartment while the machine takes in water during pre-wash or fi rst rinsing step. Adding the liquid bleach while the machine takes in water

allows it to be diluted before it is poured onto the laundry.

You must select extra rinsing option if you use liquid bleach in a washing Programme. Bleach must be removed from the laundry with rinsing; otherwise it may cause itching on the skin

Read the dosage instructions and label of your garments carefully before using the liquid bleach.

Starch

• Add liquid starch, powder starch or the dyestuff into the softener compartment as instructed on the package.

• Never use fabric softener and starch together in the same washing cycle.

• Wipe the inside of the drum after using starch.

Bleaches

If you are going to use regular bleach in your machine, it is suggested to select a Programme with pre-wash step and add the bleach at the beginning of the pre-wash without putting detergent into the pre-wash compartment. Alternatively, it is suggested to select a Programme with extra rinsing and add the bleach while the machine takes in water from the detergent drawer in the first rinsing step. Bleach should not be mixed with detergent. Since the bleach may cause irritation on skin, little amounts must be used and rinsed thoroughly. Do not pour bleach directly onto the laundry and do not use it with colour laundry.

When using oxygen based bleach, follow the instructions on the package and select a Programme at low temperature. Oxygen based bleach can be used together with the detergent. However, if it is not the same consistency as the detergent, then it must be added from the compartment number “II” right after the detergent foams with water.

Eliminating limescale formation

• If required, use only appropriate limescale removers developed specifi cally for washing machines and always follow the instructions on the package.

pressure, water hardness and temperature, ambient temperature, type and amount of laundry, selection of auxiliary functions, and changes in supply voltage. Programme duration will be displayed on the screen of your machine according to your selection.

Hints and tips for washing

• Energy effi ciency will be improved by using lower temperature programmes and appropriate detergents.

• Do not use more detergent than recommended (detergent packaging) or necessary. • Only use detergents suitable for automatic washing machines.

• Wash lightly soiled items at lower temperatures.

• Use shorter programmes for smaller quanties for lightly soiled items.

• Do not use prewash and high temperature programmes for laundry that is not heavily soiled/stained.

• Use dedicated stain remover sprays/powders as directed by manufacturers.

• Do not over fill the drum, it should be loosely fi lled.

• Use a washing bag or pillow case etc to wash small/delicate items.

• Avoid washing single towels/heavy cotton items – add smaller items to the load to avoid out of balance spin drying issues.

Information for the testing organisations

Test performance pursuant to EN 50229:2007 standard starts with Cottons Eco 60°C programme. The fi rst load to be dried after washing is tested by selecting Extra Dry option in Cotton Drying programme and second load is tested by selecting 150 drying option in Cottons Dryong programme. Based on capacity of the machine to be tested, separation of the drying capacity, drying sequence and load content are described in the following table.

Drying sequence and the load content for drying tests must be performed as per following table.

Hints and tips for drying

• Always select the correct drying cycle for the fabrics to be dried.

• Do not over fi ll the drum. The machine can only dry approx half the wash load efficiently.

• Do not add any liquids to the machine during the drying cycle.

• If you wash a full load: remove sufficient items to enable successful drying.

• Do not tumble dry woollen items.

• Always remove any loose articles from pockets (coins, tissues etc).

06 – Maintenance and cleaning

General

The use of low temperature wash programmes can lead to a build up of residues and odours. To help avoid this it is recommended to run a hot wash cycle (60°c or 90°c) with no laundry, powder or detergent at least once per month.

Detergent Drawer

Remove any powder residue buildup in the drawer. To do this;

1. Remove the detergent drawer by pulling it towards yourself fi rmly.

If softener and liquid detergent mixture starts to remain in the softener compartment, the siphons X and Y must be cleaned.

2. Wash the drawer and the siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin. Wear protective gloves or use an appropriate brush to avoid touching the residues in the drawer when cleaning.

3. Replace the drawer into its housing after cleaning. Ensure the siphon is in its original location.

The door and the drum

After each wash:

• Check if there are any foreign objects in the drum.

• Open the drain hole in the door gasket with the aid of a toothpick if it is clogged.

Foreign metal substances in your machine may cause rust stains. In such cases:

Clean the drum with a stainless steel cleaning agent. Never use steel or wire wool.

Body and control panel

When necessary:

• Wipe the exterior panels of your machine with damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry it with a soft cloth.

• Use only a soft damp cloth to clean the control panel.

Never use a sponge with pan scrubbing material. These will damage the paint and plastic parts.

Glass door:

Clean the glass door, particularly the lower part from time to time.

30_

Maintenance and Cleaning

Inlet water filters

There is a filter in the end of the water intake valve at the back of the machine and also at the end of the water intake hose where it is connected to the tap. The fi lter prevents foreign substances and dirt in the water from entering into the machine. Filters should be cleaned as they may clog.

Filter

User manual HJA8900

In addition, water may have to be drained off before transporting the machine (e.g. when moving house)

To drain the water from the machine follow this procedure:

1. Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.

Water in the machine can reach temperatures of 90°C . Therefore only clean the fi lter after the machine has had time to cool.

• Close the tap.

• Loosen the nut of the water intake hose to clean the surface of the fi lter with an appropriate brush.

• If the filter is very dirty, you can pull it out by means of pliers and clean it.

• Take out the filter on the flat end of the water intake hose together with the seal and clean thoroughly under running water.

• Replace the seal and filter carefully and tighten the hose nuts by hand.

Draining any remaining water and cleaning the pump filter

A filter system in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibres clogging the pump propeller during the discharge of the washing water.

• If your machine fails to drain the water or spin properly, the pump fi lter may be clogged. You may have to clean it every 6 months or whenever it is blocked. Water must be drained off to clean the pump filter.

• Place a large container in front of the filter to receive water flowing from the filter.

• Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until water starts to flow out of it. Direct the fl owing water into the container you have placed in front of the filter. You can use a cloth to absorb any spilled water.

• When there is no water left, turn the pump fi lter until it is completely loose and remove it.

• Clean any residues from inside the fi lter.

• Never force the fi lter while replacing it into its housing. Fit the fi lter fully into its housing; otherwise, water may leak from the fi lter cap.

2. Close the fi lter cap fully.

07 – Troubleshooting

Error Codes

If an error code is displayed on the machine – please call the service line.

(There are only limited number of errors that may possibly be resolved by the customer / installer) E8 – Water fi ll / drain issue, check hoses for kink / blockages
