WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
These Washing Instructions are of a general nature and you should get good wash results by following them.
However, due to the variables of fabric types, soil levels, detergent types and available program settings you may find some combinations of these which do not always result in the perfect wash.
If for example you see residuals of detergent or soils on some items, please read the section Residues on washed items paragraph.
Over time you will learn what is the best set-up of programs, detergent and load sorting for different load types and soils.
SORT YOUR WASHING INTO SEPARATE WASH LOADS
- Each load of washing should contain clothing which needs the same washing conditions. For example, you should not wash delicate clothes with very dirty work clothes.
- Colour fast and non-colourfast fabrics should be separated. Knowing the type of fabrics you have and how dirty they are will help when you make selections from the wash program options.
- Some fabrics are lint collectors and can pick up lint, dirt and colour from other fabrics which are lint producers. Some examples are listed below:
NOTE: Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint producers.
- Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.
- New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time.
- IMPORTANT! Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
- Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers.
- Tie any belts or long tapes.
- Remove persistent stains before washing.
- Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.
- Treat curtains with special care.
- Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which you can purchase from your supermarket.
Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.
DAILY USE
STARTING YOUR WASHING MACHINE
1. Connect the mains plug to the mains socket.
2. Turn the water tap on.
1. Clothes must be loaded evenly around the agitator
For best result load small items first, followed by large items.
For example, a typical load should be loaded using the following sequence : handkerchiefs, wash cloths, undershorts, pillow cases, T-shirts, business shirts, tablecloths, sheets, bath towels.
2. Clothes must not be wrapped around the agitator.
3. The washing machine must not be overloaded. Clothes must be able to move during wash.
4. The load should contain only three or four large items, for example sheets. The rest of the load should be small items. A mixed load of large and small items will wash cleaner than a load of all large items.
ADD THE DETERGENT
When using the washing machine for the first time,check that the dispenser is set for the type of detergent you will use. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Pull the dispenser drawer forward until it stops.
2. Lift the front of the drawer up and forward to remove it from the runners.
3. Check the position of the flap at the rear of the detergent compartment in the dispenser drawer. (Factory setting is flap up for powder.)
4. Clip the flap down if you intend to use liquid detergent.
5. Refit the dispenser back into its runners. Remember: If you change the type of detergent you use, the position of the flap will need changing. See picture.
6. You are now ready to add detergent. Measure the amount required and pour it into the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.
When using liquid detergent, some may leak out of the dispenser into the wash load earlier than expected through small openings in the back of the dispenser.
The openings are to help flushing out of detergent.
7. If you want to use fabric softener, see “Add fabric softener”.
8. Close the drawer by pushing it backwards into the top panel of the washing machine when you have finished adding detergent.
ADD FABRIC SOFTENER
Before adding softener to the dispenser, make sure the siphon cap is pushed firmly down onto the spigot in the drawer.
The softener will not siphon out if the cap is incorrectly fitted, is missing or blocked with residue. You are now ready to add fabric softener.
Measure the correct amount as recommended on the softener package into a cup and then pour it into the softener compartment of the dispenser drawer.
Caution: Do not overfill the fabric softener dispenser.
Overfilling and then siphoning out too early can cause softener and detergent to mix resulting in staining problems.
The softener dispenser holds 90ml when filled up to the MAX marker. Any level lower than MAX will function correctly.
Caution: Only use the detergent compartment for detergent and the fabric softener compartment for fabric softener.
SETTING A PROGRAM
1. Turn the program selector to the required program.

- Switch off the electricity at the power point.
- Turn off the water taps. This will extend the life of the inlet hoses.
- Leave lid open for a while. This allows time for moisture inside the washing machine to evaporate and for any odours to disperse.
CLEANING THE LINT FILTER
Lint is a collection of threads and fluff which comes off your clothes during washing. Your washing machine collects this lint in the lint fifilter. It is important to clean out this lint fifilter preferably after each wash.
How to clean the lint filter:
(SWT8043, SWT8063E, SWT9043, SWT1043 ,SWT1154LCWA)
1. Remove the Cap Agitator and fifilter column from the centre of the agitator.
2. Unclip the fifilter bag from the column.
3. Turn the bag inside out and remove the lint.
4. Wash the fifilter bag and dispenser cup in hot water.
5. Reassemble the filter to the column and place it back in the centre of the agitator.
CLEANING THE DISPENSER
The dispenser needs to be cleaned regularly, preferably after each wash. Inspect the dispenser after each wash to see if there is any residue of detergent.
To do this proceed as follows:
- Pull the dispenser drawer forward until it stops.
- Lift the front of the drawer up and forward to remove it from the runners.
- Clean the dispenser drawer with hot water and a brush, eg. an old toothbrush.
- Dry the drawer.
- Before replacing the dispenser back in its recess, clean the inside of the drawer with an old toothbrush.
- Put the dispenser back into its runners and close the drawer.
CLEANING YOUR WASHING MACHINE
To clean the inside and outside of your washing machine you should:
1.Wipe the surface with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water.
2.Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
IMPORTANT: Never use solvents, aerosol cleaners, spray pack cleaners, glass, cleaners, metal polishes, caustic materials, scourers or general household cleaners on or near top panel and lid, control panel or other parts of your washing machine.
CLEANING STAINS IN THE WASHBOWL
Stains in the wash bowl can be caused by:
- metal objects such as bobby pins, dressmaking pins and nails;
- salt;
- body oils and grease from very dirty or sweaty clothes being deposited around the top of the washbowl;
- excessive foam during wash if incorrect or too much detergent is used.
IMPORTANT:
- Check all pockets before loading clothes into your washing machine.
- Don’t leave wet clothing (especially swimwear) in the bowl for too long before you wash it.
How To Clean the Stainless Steel Wash Bowl :
- Wipe with a cleaning product which is marked suitable for stainless steel.
- Oily deposits can be removed by wiping surfaces with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water.
IMPORTANT: Never use bleach cleaners or steel wool to clean the stainless steel washbowl.
AVOIDING BUILD UP OF UNDISSOLVED DETERGENTS
If you only wash with cold water, undissolved detergent and body oils will build up in the washing machine. This build-up can cause spotting on your clothes.
To avoid this build-up :
- do not use too much fabric softener with cold water;
- select a hot water wash at least once a month;
- always dissolve the detergent in one litre of warm water.
