06
Maintenance
•
Securely plug the power plug in the socket outlet after completely removing any
moisture and dust.
•
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the appliance. Turning the unit off
into stand by mode from the front panel will not isolate the mains supply from the
appliance.
•
Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cable. Always grip the power
plug rmly and pull straight out from the socket outlet.
•
Do not spray the water inside or outside the appliance to clean it.
Technical Safety for Using the Dryer
•
Do not dry unwashed items in the appliance.
•
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, vegetable oil,
acetone, alcohol, petroleum, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before
being dried in the appliance.
•
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specied by the fabric
softener instructions.
•
Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
•
Never stop this appliance before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are
quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
•
This appliance is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for
cleaning.
•
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber
backed articles and clothes or pillows tted with foam rubber pads should not be
dried in this appliance.
•
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat
sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation
reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can
become hot enough to catch re. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can
prevent heat from escaping and so create a re hazard.
•
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should rst
be washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate,
the hazard.
07
Disposal
•
Before discarding an old appliance, unplug it. Cut off the cable directly behind the
appliance to prevent misuse.
•
Dispose of all packaging materials (such as plastic bags and styrofoam) away from
children. The packaging material can cause suffocatoion.
•
Remove the door before disposing of or discarding this appliance to avoid the
danger of children or small animals getting trapped inside.
•
Before the washing machine is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid
to prevent children from climbing inside.

Sorting laundry.
•
To get the best results, sort clothes into loads
that can be washed with the same wash cycle.
•
Different fabrics need to be washed at varying
temperatures and spin speeds.
•
Always sort dark colours from pale colours and
whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer
can occur causing discolouration of white and
pale garments. If possible, do not wash heavily
soiled items with lightly soiled ones.
– Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) :
Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
– Colour (White, Lights, Darks):
Separate white fabrics from coloured fabrics.
– Lint (Lint producers, Collectors):
Wash lint producers and lint collectors
separately.
3
Caring before loading.
•
Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items rst.
•
Large items should not be more than half the
total wash load. Do not wash single items. This
may cause an unbalanced load. Add one or two
similar items.
•
Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches,
pens, coins and keys can damage both your
washing machine and your clothes.
•
Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure
that these items don’t snag on other clothes.
•
Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a small
amount of detergent dissolved water onto stains
to help lift dirt.
•
Check the folds of the exible gasket (gray) and
remove any small articles.
CAUTION
•
Check inside the drum and remove any items from a
previous wash.
•
Remove any clothing or items from the exible gasket
to prevent clothing and gasket damage.
19
Adding Cleaning Products
Detergent Dosage
•
Detergent should be used according to the instruction
of the detergent manufacturer and selected according
to type, colour, soiling of the fabric and washing
temperature.
•
If too much detergent is used, too many suds can
occur and this will result in poor washing results
or cause heavy load to the motor and cause a
malfunction.
•
If you wish to use liquid detergent, follow the
guidelines provided by the detergent manufacturer.
•
You can pour liquid detergent directly into the
main detergent drawer if you are starting the cycle
immediately.
•
Do not use liquid detergent if you are using Time
Delay, or if you have selected Pre Wash, as the liquid
may harden.
•
If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent amount.
Drum type detergent must only be used in Front
loaders. excessive suds can be caused by using the
wrong type of detergent.
•
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water
temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the
load. For best results, avoid oversudsing.
•
Refer to the label of the clothes, before chooseing the
detergent and water temperature.
•
When using the washing machine, use designated
detergent for each type of clothing only:
– General powdered detergents for all types of fabric
– Powdered detergents for delicate fabric
– Liquid detergents for all types of fabric or
designated detergents only for wool
•
For better washing performance and whitening, use
detergent with the general powdered bleach.
•
Detergent is ushed from the dispenser at the
beginning of the cycle.
NOTE
•
Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may lead to
blockages, poor rinse performance or bad odours.
•
Full load : According to manufacturer’s
recommendation.
•
Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount
•
Minimum load : 1/2 of full load
