Leveling the Washing Machine
WARNING: The lock nuts on all four feet must be screwed
tightly against the housing. If the floor is
obviously uneven, your appliance feet need
to be adjusted. If your appliance isn’t level,
it will cause your appliance to vibrate, and
potentially move from its position.
1 Once you’ve positioned your washing machine, press
down from the top in all four corners to ensure that it’s
completely stable (i.e. not rocking in any direction). Also
use a spirit level to ensure that it is completely level in all
directions.
2 Should you need to make adjustments, use a spanner to
turn the appliance legs until it makes contact with the
floor.
Turn the leg using one hand and then fasten the nut up
against the appliance cabinet, to lock the leg in place.
3 After making any adjustments to the appliance legs,
re-check to ensure it is level and no rocking occurring.

WARNING: If you are positioning the outlet hose to drain
into a sink or trough, please ensure that it
is fixed in place and that the sink remains
unblocked at all times. If drain hose is too
long, do not force it into washing machine
as it will cause abnormal noises.

Operating Instructions
Preparation Before Washing Clothes
Please follow these steps carefully to avoid trouble with
your washing machine and damaging your clothing
Washing Considerations
• The working condition of the washer should be
(0-40)°C. If used under 0°C,the inlet valve and draining
system may be damaged. If the machine is placed
under condition of 0°C or less, then it should be
transferred to normal ambient temperature to ensure
the water supply hose and drain hose are not frozen
before use.
• Please check the labels and the explanation of using
detergent before wash. Use non-foaming or less-
foaming detergent suitable for machine washing
properly.
• New clothes in particular, can leach colour onto other
clothing items, particularly whites.
Consider washing these and bright colours separately.
• Stained clothing should be treated with a stain
remover, prior to washing.
• Temperature sensitive clothes should be washed in
accordance with their care direction label. Otherwise
distortion and/or changes in colour could occur.
• Never allow washing to sit in the machine for a long
period of time- particularly when wet. Clothes can
become mouldy and develop an odour.
• Certain clothing cannot be washed in a washing
machine and their care directions may state dry
cleaning or hand washing required.
• Wrinkle style clothes, embossed clothes, resin clothes,
etc may become distorted when immersed in water.
• Avoid washing clothes without care direction labels
within the appliance, to be safe.
• Always remove all items from clothing pockets, as hard
items can cause damage to the appliance.
• Try to wash clothing colours and sizes in like loads,
as this will improve the effectiveness of the washing
and results.
• Close all clothing zips and ensure all buttons are
fastened securely.

clothing prior to washing.
• Baby clothing should be washed separately.

washing machine.
Pay Attention to Detergents
• Only use suitable front load washing machine
detergents with this appliance. Powders and liquid
detergents only.
• Only ever use the recommended quantity of detergent,
as per the manufacturer’s guidelines, as an excessive
quantity can cause excessive bubbles and overflow
to occur.
• It can also result in detergent residue remaining on the
clothing after completion of the wash cycle.
WARNING: Always keep detergents and additives out of
reach from children.
Clothing Classifications
• The symbol types on care labels are typically classified
into the following textiles: Cotton, Blended Fibre,
