Preparation before washing

Positioning your washer

1. Connect the water inlet hose.
2. Select a suitable location for the washer on a hard, even surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources, e.g radiators, cooking appliances etc.
3. The washer must not be placed in an area where the temperature is below freezing point.
   
4. Any floor unevenness may result in unstable working or abnormal noise. Please ensure the machine is level.

Check the following before washing

Cautions

• The rated washing/spinning capacity refers to the largest dry weight of a load that can be washed/spun.
• The thickness, size and type of clothes will influence the actual capacity. Be careful to only load a reasonable amount of laundry.
• Do not select "Maximum" water level for clothes less than 2.4kg, to avoid splashing of water.
• It is suggested not to use high sudsing detergent. Choose a low suds or high efficiency detergent.

Usage of the detergent

How to use whitener

• Fill water to desired level. Dilute the whitener in a container. Pour it slowly into the washing tub.
• Avoid using whitener on laundry with color or pattern as they are prone to lose color.
• The whitener shall not touch the laundry directly.
• Refer to the whitener instructions for the usage and quantity.
• For powder whitener, please dissolve it before using.

Adding the washing powder

Dissolve in the machine:

1. Fill small quantity of water.
2. Add the powder. Run for 30 seconds to dissolve it completely.
3. Put in the laundry. Select a suitable water level.

Instant dissolving of the washing powder:

1. 1.Prepare warm water of 30 C in a container.
2. 2.Add the powder while stirring to fully dissolve it.

Powder is more likely to contaminate the laundry with residue than a liquid detergent. Therefore please use the correct quantity.

Please refer to the washing powder instructions for the correct use and dosage.

Additional spinning

If you want to remove more foam, you can use this function.

2. Spin
   (1) Put the retainer in properly. Please use the retainer even if the clothes quantity is small.
   
   (2) Close the inner and outer cover of the spin tub.
   
   (3) Spin for 1-2 minutes.
3. To remove foam during spinning.
   (1) Open the outer cover of the spin tub.
   (2) Set the water-filling selector control rod to the "SPIN" side. Fill water for about 1 minute.
   If the water flow is too fast, the water may flow out from the wash tub side. You may turn the water tap down to limit the flow of water.

   Set the water level using the water level adjusting lever according to the clothes quantity. Then fill.
3. Rinse
   Adjust the wash timer to a suitable rinse length. Use 9 minutes for a full wash. A partial wash load may only require 5-7 minutes.

Spinning

1. Put the clothes into the spin tub evenly and smoothly. Note that a full wash load will need to be split into two equal loads for spinning.
2. Press the retainer into the tub properly. Close the inner and outer cover of the spin tub.
3. Spin
   Set the "WASH TIMER" at "OFF" and "WASH SELECTOR" at "DRAIN" Spin a full load.

• If you want to fill water during spinning to remove the foam, we recommend spinning the laundry first for about 1 minute, then add water to the spin tub. Otherwise the spinning will stop because of too much water.

Clean the cabinet

• Use only a damp cloth for cleaning the control panel.
• To avoid any kind of damage to cabinet finish, use a small amount of liquid dishwashing detergent with warm water to wipe the washer cabinet as required.
  
• If fabric softener, bleach or detergent is accidently spilt on the cabinet, wipe the cabinet immediately.
• Do not use any abrasive, harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergent, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolour your washer.
• Leave the lid open after completing the wash cycle to allow the inside of the washer to dry out and prevent bad odours from forming.

Transporting or storing your washer

• Drain any water from the inlet hoses.
• Disconnect the power cord from the electrical supply.
• Dry out the inner wash bowl and, if putting the machine into storage or going on holiday, leave the lid open or propped ajar to allow air to circulate.
• If moving the washer, disconnect the drain hose.
• Always transport or store your washer in an upright position only. The washer must be stored at room temperature.

Troubleshooting

If clothes fall to the outer side of the spin tub

• If clothes fall to the outer side of the spin tub, please contact an authorised service agent. Do not repair it yourself.

When the remaining water is frozen

• To prevent freezing drain after using.
• After complete draining, set the "WASH SELECTOR" at "STRONG" or "STANDARD". If it is set at "DRAIN", it will be more difficult for the frozen water to melt.
• When the water is frozen
  Pour warm water below 50C into the wash tub. After several minutes, turn the pulsator on gently. Please ensure the drain is working normally before using again.
  

(Always unplug your washer to avoid an electrical shock before checking) The following problems may not require a service call. Please confirm the fault before calling an Authorised Service Agent. Do not repair it yourself.
