PlanetCare DAGGH4DTOYU Washing Machine
HELLO!
Welcome to the PlanetCare filtering community! We are happy to have you on
board to prevent the release of microfibres into our oceans.
PlanetCare 2.0 is a filter that attaches to your washing machine and it
filters microfibers from your laundry.
The filter consists of two main parts: the filter housing and filter
cartridge.
When the filter cartridge is full, you will need to replace it with a clean
one. When you’re up to your last clean cartridge, pack the used cartridges in
the box they were shipped in and send them back to PlanetCare for cleaning and
recycling. The filtering medium of the cartridge with the caught microfibers
is stored for recycling, while the rest of the cartridge is reused and shipped
back to PlanetCare users.
To ensure easy installation and use, please follow the steps described in the
following pages.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
INSTALLATION
ATTACHING THE FILTER HOLDER ON YOUR WASHING MACHINE
PlanetCare 2.0 can be fitted on your washing machine or any other vertical
surface near by, as long as it ensures stability and easy access.
To attach the filter holder, use the double-sided tape on the filter holder.
Do not worry, it is strong enough to hold it in place firmly. You can also
attach the holder with two screws (not included).
HOW TO ATTACH THE HOLDER:
Select a section of the washing machine (or other surface) that is as even as
possible.
Thoroughly clean the surface where you’ll attach the holder (this is best done
with 70% alcohol).
Be careful not to touch the sticky tape after you’ve removed the protection
layer.
Attach the holder to the cleaned surface & press firmly for 5 seconds.
ATTACHING THE FILTER HOLDER ON YOUR PLANETCARE 2.0 MICROFIBER FILTER
You will need to attach the holder on your PlanetCare 2.0 microfiber
filter. The holder does not come pre-installed, because you can install it on
either side of your washing machine.
-
LEFT SIDE PLACEMENT
The holder must be fitted on the right side (hose attachments are in the back). Use the supplied screw. -
RIGHT SIDE PLACEMENT
The holder must be fitted on the left side (hose attachments are in the back). Use the supplied screw. -
LOGO PLACEMENT
Attach the logo on the opposite side.
IMPORTANT DO NOT tighten the screw without the holder.
Tightening the screw without the holder can cause irreparable damage to the
filter.
CONNECT THE HOSES
PlanetCare 2.0 comes equipped with two hoses that are joined together for
easier installation. Water from the washing machine into the filter comes from
the hose marked with “IN”, while water from the filter and into the drain is
marked with “OUT”.
Before using the filter, make sure that you connected the hoses securely.
CONNECT TO THE FILTER
Make sure that you correctly attach the hose to the filter – watch for “IN”
and “OUT” marks on the connectors and hoses.
CONNECT TO THE WASHING MACHINE AND DRAIN
Attach the hose connector to the end of the “IN” hose (the shorter one) and
connect it to the drain hose from your washing machine. Connect the end of the
“OUT” hose to the drain.
ATTACH THE FILTER CARTRIDGE
PlanetCare 2.0 filter cartridges are attached to the filter housing with a
bayonet attachment that securely holds them in place.
Before using the filter, make sure that the cartridge is attached securely.
CONNECT THE CARTRIDGE TO THE FILTER HOUSING
Affix the cartridge to the top of the housing and twist it to the right until
you feel a slight click. That is the indicator that the cartridge is securely
attached.
ATTACH FILTER TO THE HOLDER
Slide the filter onto the filter holder securely. Your PlanetCare 2.0
microfiber filter is now correctly installed and ready to use.
FINE TUNING
BYPASS AND CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT INDICATOR
This filter is equipped with an automatic bypass that activates when the
cartridge reaches full capacity. When the handle is in raised position, it
serves as a visual indicator that it is time to replace the cartridge.
The bypass can also be triggered manually when washing clothes made from
natural materials.
PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT
In some cases your washing machine might indicate an error while pumping water
out of the machine and your clothes might not be drained properly. That is an
indication that the automatic bypass has not been triggered when the cartridge
was full. On the other hand, sometimes it might happen that the automatic
bypass is triggered too soon, before the cartridge is truly filled. Do not
worry, it’s all a matter of a small adjustment.
PlanetCare 2.0 has a setting ring that adjusts the sensitivity of the
automatic bypass.
The setting is factory set to the middle (neutral) position.
FACTORY SETTING IS TOO WEAK
If the bypass indicator turns on before your cartridge is fully used, the
factory setting is too weak. This results in your cartridge enduring fewer
washes than it’s capable of.
HOW TO FIX IT?
Turn the adjustment wheel one line towards the MAX indicator (to the left).
Repeat this until you see an increase in filter cartridge durability. If your
machine begins to have difficulty in pumping water (error message on washing
machine), turn the wheel back one line towards the MIN indicator.
FACTORY SETTING IS TOO STRONG
If the bypass indicator doesn’t activate automatically after the cartridge
is full, the factory setting is too strong. This may lead to wet clothes or
difficulty in pumping water (error message on washing machine).
HOW TO FIX IT?
Adjust the wheel one line towards the MIN indicator (to the right), and repeat
until the bypass starts activating automatically for smooth operation
(properly drained clothes and no error messages on the washing machine).
