-
farm houses; -by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;
-
bed and breakfasts type environments;
-
areas for communal use in blocks of flats or in launderettes.
For washing machines having ventilation openings on the base, the washing machines cannot be washing on the carpet. -
Before setting the washing machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged washing machine . Before connceting the washing machine, ensure that the connection data on the plate(voltage and current)match the electricity supply. if in any doubt, consult a qualifiled electrician.
-
The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system.
-
Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
-
Unauthorized repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which manufacturer can not accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by an approved service technician. Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after maintenance of repair work has been carried out.
If the connection cable is damaged or broken, it must only be replaced by an approved service technician to protect the user from danger. Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine manufacturer original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted the safety standards of the machine can be guaranteed.
Correct use
- To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the washing machine, do not install it in place where it is damp and where it suffers from rainfall.
- Do not install the washing machine in 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 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 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, check that the transit bolts at the rear of the machine have been removed. During spinning, transit bolts which is 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 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.
Safety with children
Keep children away from the washing machine at all times. To avoid the risk of
injury do not allow children to play on or near it or to play with its
controls. Supervise children whilst you are using it. Older children may only
use the washing machine if its operation has been clearly explained to them
and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse. For
machines with a ‘porthole’ door, remember that the porthole glass will be hot
when washing at very high temperatures. Do not let children touch it.
Parts and Features
Note : Unscrew the drain pump filter to let water run out when the machine is not used for a long time. The drawing of machine in the manual is only used for instruction. It may be vary from the mode you buy.
Installation
Backout packing
- Remove all the packing(including the foam base) or the vibration and noise may occur.
- Dispose all the wrappage safety and keep them out of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation!
- It is normal that water drops appear on the packing plastic bag and the door glass, which are resulted from the water left in the tub for checking out.
Accessories
Make sure that you have received all of the items shown below.
Removing transit bolts
- Remove all the transit bolts at the rear of the machine with tools.
- Plug the holes with the transit bolts caps supplied.
- Keep the transit bolts for future transportation. Whenever the machine is transported, the transit bolts must be refitted.
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 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.
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 anticlockwise 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.
Note : Vibration and noise may occur if the locknuts do not sit firmly up against the houses.
Drain hose connection
-
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.
-
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 fo 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 a inlet valve at the back of the machine, it must be connected
to a cold water supply. If there are two inlet valve, 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.

full load is washed. However, do not overload as this causes creases and
reduces cleaning efficiency. Make sure that no garments are caught between the
door and the seal.
Using the detergent drawer

Reduce the spin speed.
Cotton & temp. 60℃ & spin speed 1200 is the program recommended for a normally soiled cotton load”
The machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin. To protect the machine, it will cut in if the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 15 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistributed the load manually and reselect the spin programme.
Door lock
