The out of balance has 2 level which are low
level and high level.
The high level: Machine will be stopped,
caused by an uneven distribution of clothes in
the wash bowl. To rectify the out of balance
condition, open the lid and redistribute the
clothes evenly in the wash bowl. Closing the
spin stage of the wash.
The low level: The washing machine try to
optimize by reduce spin speed to avoid out of
balance to finish the cycle.
If you have frequent out of balance
interruptions, it may be due to your
washing machine not standing firm and level
on the floor. This can be corrected by adjust
the washing machine legs as described
in the Installation Instructions supplied with
your machines.

ABOUT YOUR WASHING MACHINE
Out of Balance Interruption
Watch the lights on the control panel to see
the effect pressing a touchpad or turning a
program selector knob has, and listen for
“BEEPS”.
When you press a touchpad you will get a
short “BEEP” to acknowledge the entry.
If the option is not available at the time, the
machine will not allow you to select it. After
the machine has started, the entire wash
option touchpad will be disabled and machine
will give three short beeps to indicate the
touchpad is disabled. The Star/Pause To
Pause touchpad is still active but you need
to press and hold the touchpad for
minimum 1.2 seconds to pause machine.
This is to confirm that you really want to pause
the machine.
NOTE: All functions of the washing machine
will stop when the lid is open.
ActiveBoost™
This product features the new ActiveBoost
Wash System that uses less amount of water,
and is more energy efficient,during the washing
process. It achieves this with just the right
amount of water needed, and by a detergent
pre-mixing system that minimizes detergent
residue even during cold wash to give you a
cleaner wash result.
Water at 35 C is combined with detergent
to dissolve and activate it. Depending on
model, this concentrated solution is then
circulated or showered over the clothes in
combination with unique bowl and agitator
rotations to provide wash action at the selected
wash temperature.
After the wash operation is completed, the
bowl is filled with more water. The low profile
agitator or agitator then moves in an energy
efficient mode, generating additional
mechanical actions.

Your washing machine has selectable
“Auto” sensing water level option as well
as allowing you to choose a manual
water level if you wish. We recommend
you to use the Auto water level option to
ensure there is just the right amount of
water for the wash load in the machine.
In other words, it will usually give you the
best wash while also being the most
efficient in terms of water usage.

SAVING WATER AND ENERGY
This washing machine features water and
energy saving options.
Your machine is most water efficient when
Eco Rinse is used as the rinse option.
To save energy, the wash time can be shortened
for a load of less dirty clothes by selecting the
appropriate wash program e.g. Fast Wash.
The washing machine is energy efficient and most
water efficient when used with a full load of clothes
and with Eco Rinse selected. You should use
Eco Rinse (where available) instead of Deep Rinse
to reduce the amount of water used for
rinsing clothes.
Each time you switch on your washing machine the
machine will select most suitable rinse option for
the selected program. You can change rinse option
if you wish. The difference between Deep rinse and
Eco rinse is explained on the page 13.
POWER FAILURE RECOVERY
When there is power failure while
machine is washing or rinsing or
spinning. The machine tries to save
the settings at which stage the
machine is doing and then when
the power returns back the machine
will starts washing from the stage
where it is left off.

RINSE OPTION BUTTON
When Eco rinse is used, rinse water
is sprayed into the washbowl in pulses.
After each pulse the washbowl will spin
to remove detergent laden water from
the clothes.
How does Eco Rinse work ?
There are four rinses to choose from...
Fast rinse, Eco rinse, Deep rinse and
Extra rinse.
Extra : Extra rinse, the
machine fills twice, giving
you two deep rinses.
Deep : Deep rinse the
machine fills once, giving
you one deep rinse.
Eco : Eco rinse is a spray
rinse giving you maximum
water saving.
Fast : Fast rinse uses less
time then Eco rinse by
performing only 3 Eco sprays
but the amount of water in
each spray is increased.
The machine will go through a series of
maximum four pulses spray and short spin
cycles in this manner, depending on
program selection, followed by a final long
spin that removes the water from the clothes
to complete the full wash program.
Compare this with Deep rinse where
much more water is used.
Deep rinse, water enters the machine
filling up to the wash water level selected.
The washer agitates and finally empties
the rinse water through the drain hose.
Extra rinse, this is special option for those
people who suffer from allergies, this extra
rinse will provide two deep rinses to ensure
all detergent residue has been removed.
Eco Rinse and Fast Rinse
Daily program rinse is fixed with
Deep rinse only
Quick20 program rinse is fixed with

CANNOT be
selected with Bedding
program.
We strongly recommend you use Eco
rinse for your washes whenever you can.
There is considerable saving of water
when Eco is used instead of Deep or
Extra to rinse clothes.
Eco and Fast rinse is not designed
to be used with fabric softener.
Select Deep or
Extra rinse if you are
going to use fabric softener.
Deep rinse ensures the fabric
softener is correctly dispensed and
thoroughly removed from your clothes
during rinsing.

4.1
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:
Lint collectors
Lint producers
- Corduroy
- Synthetics
- Permanent
press fabrics
- Towels
- Nappies
- Chenille/
Candlewick
Make sure that you wash lint
collectors separately from lint
producers.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS4.
NOTE:
IMPORTANT!
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.
These Washing Instructions are of a
general nature and you should get good
wash results by following them.
Rub particularly soiled areas with
a special detergent or detergent
paste.
Treat curtains with special care.
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.
Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers.
Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before
washing.
Make sure that no metal objects
are left in the laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins, pins).
4.2
4.3
If you use pre-treatment sprays or
stain removers, apply them to the
clothing well away from your
washing machine.
PRE-TREATMENT SPRAYS
AND STAIN REMOVERS
Pre-treatment sprays and stain
remover can damage plastic
components on your washing
machine.
DETERGENT
Wash bras, pantyhose and other
delicates in a mesh laundry bag,
which you can purchase from
your supermarket.
WARNING!
Don’t use the wrong type of detergent.
You must use a low sudsing detergent
designed for front load washing
machines or high efficiency top
loaders, such as Cold Power for Front
Loaders and High Efficiency Top
Loaders or detergents labelled “Matic”.
Don’t use soap-based products in
your washing machine.
Don’t use too much detergent. This
can result in excessive suds that can
cause low spin speeds, poor rinsing
and overloading the motor during spin
stages of the wash program.
Don’t use too little detergent because
you will get a poor wash. If you think
you need more, increase dosages by
only small amounts to avoid excessive
suds.
Quantity of detergent to be used
Good washing results also depend
on the choice of detergent and use
of the correct quantities to avoid
waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, deter-
gents contain substances which, in
large quantities, can upset the
delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will
depend on the type of fabric
(delicates, cottons, etc.),
the colour, washing temperature
and degree of soiling.
The type and quantity of detergent will
depend on the type of fabric, load size,
degree of soiling and hardness of the
water used.
Information on hardness of the water in
your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or from
your local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’
instructions on quantities to use.
Not enough washing powder causes:
the washload to turn grey, greasy
clothes.
Too much washing powder causes:
sudsing, reduced washing effect,
inadequate rinsing.
Use less detergent if: you are washing
a small load, the laundry is lightly
soiled, large amounts of foam form
during washing.
Water hardness is classified in so-called
“degrees” of hardness.
Remove hooks or tie them up in
a bag or net.

LOAD THE WASHING MACHINE
STARTING YOUR WASHING MACHINE
When loading the clothes into your
washing machine, there are four things
to remember:
Clothes must be loaded evenly around the
agitator.
For best result load small items first, followed
by large items.
1.
1.
Clothes must not be wrapped around
the agitator.
For example, a typical load should be loaded
using the following sequence : handkerchiefs,
wash cloths, undershorts, pillow cases,

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:
Pull the dispenser drawer forward
until it stops.
1.
Lift the front of the drawer up and
forward to
remove it from the runners.
2.
Check the position of the flap at the
rear of the detergent compartment in
the dispenser drawer.
(Factory setting is flap up for powder.)
3.
Clip the flap down if you intend to
use liquid detergent.
Remember: If you change the type
of detergent you use, the position
of the flap will need changing.
See picture.
4.
Refit the dispenser back into its runners.
5.
clip flap down for
liquid

5.4
When using liquid detergent, some may leadk
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.
Using too little detergent will give you a poor
wash result.
Using excessive detergent will create too
much suds and may cause overloading of the
motor during the spin stage of the wash
cycle.
To avoid excessive suds, reduce the amount
of detergent you use. It is best to use
detergent labelled low susing. Good quality,
front load detergent will perforn will in this
machine.
Use soap based products in your washing
machine.
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 recom-
mended on the softener package into a cup
and then pour it into the softener compart-
ment of the dispenser drawer.
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.

HELPFUL HINTS IN DEALING WITH WASHING PROBLEMS
7.
RESIDUES ON WASHED
ITEMS
STAINED CLOTHES - HINTS
FOR REMOVING STAINS
Some detergents have ingredients
which do not fully dissolve and as a
consequence, may leave white
residue or particles evident on the
surface of darker clothes in the
finished wash load. Similarly some
soils may not dissolve fully, resulting
in residue evident on lighter
coloured clothes.
The guide to stain removal on page
30 may assist you in stain removal.
Treat all stains as soon as possible.
The longer you leave a stain the
harder it will be to remove. Try
soakers and stain removers first.
If you use pre-treatment sprays or
stain removers, apply them to the
clothes items in a well ventilated
area away from your washing
machine.
If you are experiencing residue on
some clothes, the following tips will
help:
Check that you are using frontload
type detergent to minimise
over-sudsing. You may find
different brands of detergent give
better results. Liquid detergent
may be better than powder in
your situation.
Avoid the use of hot water on
stains as hot water will set stains.
Use light strokes and don’t rub
the stain remover into the fabric.
If you use a chlorine bleach,
follow the instructions on the
bottle and dilute it before putting
it on clothing.
Test coloured fabrics on an inside
seam for colour fastness before
using any stain removers or
bleaches.
Test synthetic fabric on an inside
seam before using any chemicals
or bleaches.
Pre-mix the detergent thoroughly
in warm or hot water to improve
the dissolving.
Reduce detergent dosage to
between a 1/2 and 2/3 of the
manufacturer’s standard
recommendation to avoid over
concentration (the lower water
usage requires lower detergent
usage.)
Some residue maybe
re-deposited lint, so be careful
not to have lint-producing items
in a load which has darker
clothes.
Select deep rinse and not eco
rinse to help flush more particles
away.
Reduce the clothes load size per
wash to give more freedom for
the clothes to move around in the
wash bowl.
– The Colours Program
– The Heavy Duty Program
Use another program as below,
which has been designed to
minimise residual particles (they
are in order of increasing benefit
and will help you choose the best
program for your wash load.)
NOTE:
Chemicals referred to for stain
removal are available from your
local supermarket, hardware
store or the chemist.
