Technical safety

  • Please observe the instructions in the “Installation Manual” and “Technical data”.
  • Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.
  • Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
  • Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
  • The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the wiring system of the building tested by a qualified electrician. LAMONA cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
  • Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to the risk of overheating).
  • Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine LAMONA original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can LAMONA guarantee the safety standards of the machine.
  • The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation so that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply if necessary.
  • Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a LAMONA Service Engineer, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
  • If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a LAMONA Service Engineer to protect the user from danger.

  • Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit bolts at the rear of the machine havebeen removed (see “Installation Manual – Removing the transit bolts”). During spinning, a transit bar which is still in place may result in damage to both
    the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.

  • Turn off the stopcock 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.

  • Flooding danger.
    If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check that the water can drain off quickly enough to prevent the sink from overflowing. Make sure the drain hose is secure, so that the force of the water flowing out of the hose does not dislodge it.

  • 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, it’s surroundings and the laundry.

  • Observe maximum load limits for laundry. See the Programme chart for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.

  • Machine cleaning and descale treatments must follow the manufacturer’s instructions. LAMONA cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from these treatments.

  • Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.

  • Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine, in or on this machine, as this may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire and explosion hazard.

  • Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

  • Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in this machine.

  • If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately.
    If swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for reference. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid their skin coming into contact with detergent.

Accessories

  • Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by LAMONA. If other parts are used, warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.

LAMONA cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Before using the washing machine for the first time

LAMONA cannot be held responsible for any incorrect installation of the washing machine.
The separate Installation Instructions must be followed.
This washing machine has undergone a complete functional test at the factory and there may be some water in the drum and detergent drawer.

Running the first programme

• Ensure water supply is switched on.
Run the machine EMPTY with a very small amount of detergent and a 60° cycle quick wash.
• Turn the programme selector to the Cottons position.
Select Temperature 60°C and Quicker Wash.
• Press the Start/Pause button .

The programme will start.

Washing environmentally and economically

Energy and water saving

  • Water consumption and energy usage are determined by the size of the load.
    The most efficient use of the washing machine is by loading maximum dry load for the programme you are using.

  • When smaller amounts of laundry are washed, the automatic load control will reduce the amount of water and energy used.

  • Use the Quick Rapid 30” programme for small, lightly soiled loads.

  • Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures (e.g. 20 °C). The Eco 40-60 programme is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle.

  • Always select the lowest appropriate temperature. The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.

  • To maintain the hygiene of the machine, carry out a hot wash (above 60 °C) at least 1 x per month.

Detergent
WARNING: Do not over fill the detergent drawer with detergent as foaming and leakage will occur.

  • Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.
  • Adjust the dosage to the degree of soiling of the laundry.
  • Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads (approx. 1 3 less than the amount recommended can be used when washing a half load).

WARNING: Leaking from detergent drawer may occur if too much detergent, or in wash treatment additives are used with detergent. Please use as per detergent manufacturer’s instructions and monitor and adjust use accordingly.

Choosing the correct function (Pre-wash and Quicker Wash)
Select:

  • A wash programme together with the Quicker Wash function for light soiling where there are no obvious marks.
  • A wash programme without any functions for normal to heavy soiling with visible marks.
  • The Pre-wash function for laundry with large amounts of soiling (e.g. dust, sand).

When drying with a tumble dryer
Selecting the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme will save energy when drying in a tumble dryer afterwards.
Noise and remaining moisture content are influenced by the wash load, programme selected and the final spin speed. The heavier the load and higher the spin speed; the higher the noise will be.

Detergent

Prepare the laundry

LAMONA LAM8740 Integrated 8Kg 1400rpm White Washing Machine - Prepare the
laundry

  • Empty all pockets, close zips and fasteners.

WARNING: Damage due to foreign objects.
Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.
Check the laundry before washing and remove any foreign objects.

Sort the laundry

  • Sort the laundry by colour and by care label.
    Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.

Tip: 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.

LAMONA LAM8740 Integrated 8Kg 1400rpm White Washing Machine - Sort the
laundry

Pre-treating stains

  • Badly soiled areas and stains should be pretreated using a proprietary stain treatment. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

WARNING: Damage due to solvent-based cleaning agents.
Cleaning agents containing benzine, stain remover, etc., can damage plastic parts.
When pre-treating textiles, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) do not come into contact with cleaning agent.

WARNING: Risk of explosion due to solvent based cleaning agents.
When using solvent-based cleaning agents, an explosive mixture may develop.
Never use solvent-based cleaning agents in the washing machine.

General tips
Place very small items or delicate items inside a dedicated wash bag or pillow case when washing.

  • Curtains: Remove all fixing hooks first.
  • Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar stiffeners, etc. should be removed or sewn in.
  • Close any zips, attach velcro fasteners, fasten hooks and eyes etc. before washing.
  • Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.

Do not wash any items in this washing machine which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label ( symbol).
Do not wash footwear.

Load the washing machine

Open the door

  • Reach behind the door grip and pull the door open.

Check the drum for pets or foreign objects before loading with laundry.
The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this can increase noise, affect wash performance and shorten the machine’s service life.

  • Unfold the laundry and load loosely into the drum.

Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly duringspinning.

  • When washing dark coloured fabrics and quilts it is recommended to use liquid detergent.
  • Modern liquids and detergent liquid tablets work well for low temperature washes.
  • Wash woollens using suggested programme with special detergent for woollens.
  • If odours begin to develop use a 60°C or 90°C wash 1 x per month or perform a Machine Clean cycle.

Adding liquid fabric softener

LAMONA LAM8740 Integrated 8Kg 1400rpm White Washing Machine - Adding liquid
fabric softener

  • Add fabric conditioner (or liquid starch) to the **** compartment.
    Do not exceed the maximum level mark.

  • Concentrated softener should be diluted, especiallyif softener is present in drawer after wash cycle.

It will be automatically dispensed in the final rinse. At the end of the programme a small amount of water remains in the **** compartment.
If starching frequently, thoroughly clean the dispenser compartment regularly.

Tips on detergent usage
Adjust the detergent dosage to the level of soiling of the laundry and the size of the load. Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads (e.g. reduce the amount of detergent by 1/3 when washing a half load).

Too little detergent

  • Results in laundry not being cleaned properly and may cause it to become grey and hard to the touch over time.
  • Can lead to a build-up of mould in the washing machine.
  • Results in grease not being completely removed from the laundry.
  • Can lead to limescale deposits on the heater elements.

Too much detergent

  • Causes poor wash, rinse and spin results.
  • Causes higher water consumption as an extra rinse cycle is automatically activated.
  • Is a greater burden on the environment.

WARNING: Do not over fill the detergent drawer with detergent as foaming and leakage will occur.

Using liquid detergent with a pre-wash
Liquid detergent cannot be used for the main wash if the pre-wash has been selected. Use powder detergent for the main wash.
Using tablets or liquid tabs
Always put detergent tablets or liquid tabs directly in the drum with the laundry.
Follow manufacturer instructions – do not overdose.
Avoid using in wash treatments if machine foams excessively and water leaks from dispenser area.
Using liquid bleach
Liquid bleach must be added manually either during the pre-wash or during the first rinsing step of the wash programme as the machine takes in water.

Detergent and additives

The correct detergent
All detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and dosage recommendations on the packaging.

The correct amount to dispense will depend on the following:
– the soiling level of the load
– the quantity of the laundry
– the water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier if you do not know the hardness level in your area.

Dispensing aids
Use dispensing aids, (e.g. balls) if these are supplied with the detergent, particularly when using liquid detergent.

Refill packs of detergent
When purchasing detergent buy refill packs wherever possible. This helps reduce the amount of waste packaging.

Fabric conditioner and liquid starch
Fabric conditioner makes garments soft to handle and helps prevent static cling when tumble drying.
(Concentrated softener may need to be diluted).
Starch stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.

Limescale prevention
Use proprietary treatments if using hot washes in hard water areas. Follow supplied instructions.

Colour run and dye removers/dyes
WARNING: Damage due to colour run/dye removers. Colour run and dye removers can cause corrosion in the washing machine.
Do not use colour run or dye removers in this washing machine.

Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut down on the use of detergents in areas with water hardness levels medium and hard.
Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener.
You can then use the recommended amount of detergent for water hardness level soft.
