Frequently Asked Questions - PL 151 Philco

How do I install the washing machine?

Place the machine on a level surface. Remove all transit bolts and packing. Connect the inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4 inch thread. Attach the drain hose to a standpipe or sink outlet. Plug into a grounded 220-240 V outlet. Level the machine by adjusting the feet.

What type of detergent should I use?

Use high-efficiency (HE) detergent for front-load washers. For colored clothes, use color-safe detergent. For whites, use bleach-based detergent. Avoid using too much detergent to prevent oversudsing.

How do I clean the filter?

Open the filter cap at the bottom front. Place a towel to catch water. Unscrew the drain filter counterclockwise and remove any lint or debris. Clean it under running water. Screw it back and close the cap. Repeat every 3 months.

The machine is not draining. What should I do?

Check if the drain hose is kinked or blocked. Clean the drain filter as described above. Ensure the standpipe is not clogged. If the problem persists, check the pump for foreign objects or call service.

Why is the machine vibrating during spin?

Common causes: unbalanced load, uneven floor, or transit bolts not removed. Redistribute clothes evenly in the drum. Ensure the floor is level and machine feet are adjusted. Remove all transit bolts if still present.

How do I use the child lock?

Press and hold the Child Lock button for 3 seconds until the indicator lights up. This disables all buttons except the power button. To deactivate, press and hold again for 3 seconds.

What does error code E1 mean?

Error code E1 indicates a water supply issue. Check if the water tap is open, the inlet hose is not kinked, and the water pressure is adequate. Also ensure the filter in the inlet valve is not clogged.

Can I wash delicate fabrics like wool?

Yes, select the Wool or Delicates program. Use a gentle detergent and set the temperature according to the care label. Do not overload the drum for delicate items.

How often should I clean the machine?

Run a cleaning cycle every 2-3 months. Use a washing machine cleaner or add vinegar to the detergent compartment. Also clean the door seal and detergent drawer regularly to prevent mold.

Electrical connection

• Technical specifications of your washing machine: 220-240 V \~ 50 Hz.
• A special grounding plug is attached to the power cord of your washing machine. This plug must be fully inserted into a grounded power socket (with 10 A). The electrical fuse or circuit breaker to which the washing machine is connected should be rated at 10A. If you do not have such sockets and fuses in your home, have them installed by a qualified electrician.
• Our company takes no responsibility for whatever damages caused by using the washing machine without grounding.

Water supply connection

• Your machine has a single water (cold) inlet.
• To prevent from the leakages on the connection joints, 1 seal is included in the hose packing. (Fit this seal on the end of the water inlet hose at the tap side.)
• Connect the end with bracket of the water inlet hose to the water inlet valve at the rear of the machine and the other end to your tap. In case you are not assured, let a qualified plumber make the connection works.
• The water pressure of 0.1 - 1 MPa in your water tap will ensure a more efficient operation of your washing machine (the pressure of 0.1 MPa equates to a flow rate of more than 8 litres of water per minute from a fully open tap).

• After the connections are complete, check that the connections do leak, by fully opening the tap.
- Check that the supply hoses are not bent, broken or cracked.
- Connect the supply hose to a 3/4" threaded water tap.

PART 4: WASHING LAUNDRY

• Connect the washing machine to the power socket.
• Open the water tap.

First wash cycle

There may be some water left over inside the washing machine from the factory tests. We therefore recommend to perform the first wash without laundry so as to drain this water; put half a measure of standard detergent into compartment 2, which is used for washing detergents and select the program for cotton at 90 °C.

Before actually washing

Sorting laundry

• Sort the laundry according to its type (cotton, synthetics, delicates, wool, etc.), washing temperature and the level of dirtiness.
• Never wash whites together with coloured laundry.
• Because your new coloured laundry may release some of its colour, wash it separately.
• Before placing the laundry into the washing machine check pockets for any forgotten items. In this way you will prevent damaging your clothes and the washing machine.
• Do up zips and buttons on the laundry.
• From curtains and drapes remove the plastic or metal hooks or insert the into a wash bag and tie it up.
• Turn clothing such as pants, knitted fabrics, T-shirts and singlets inside out.
• Wash small items such as socks and handkerchiefs in a wash bag.

Washing up to 90 °C Washing up to 60 °C Washing up to 30 °C a washing machine

Do not wash in

Placing clothing inside the washing machine

• Open the door of the washing machine.
• Spread the laundry evenly inside the washing machine.
• Insert one item at a time.
• When closing the door, make sure that no laundry has been caught in the door.
• Firmly close the washing machine door, otherwise the washing machine will not start.

Detergent dosage

The amount of detergent you use in the washing machine depends on the following criteria:

• The consumption of detergent changes with the degree of dirtiness of the laundry. Do not use a prewash for lightly soiled laundry and use a small amount of detergent in compartment 2 for washing detergents.
• For excessively soiled laundry select a program with a prewash, put 14 of a detergent measuring cup into compartment 1 for washing detergents and put the remainder of the measuring cup into compartment 2.
• Use washing detergents specially made for automatic washing machines. The dosage of the detergent is shown on the packaging.
• Increased water hardness necessitates the use of an increased amount of detergent in the wash.

EN - 10

• Increases laundry amounts also necessitate the use of an increased amount of detergent in the wash.
• Pour fabric softeners (conditioners) into the fabric softener compartment in the detergent drawer. Do not go over the MAX mark. Otherwise the fabric softener will flow out the siphon into the water used for washing.
  • If the fabric softener is very thick then dilute it with water before placing it in the compartment. The thick fabric softener could clog up your siphon and so prevent the fabric softener from entering the washing machine.
• You can use liquid detergents for all washing programs without a prewash. For this purpose install into the second detergent compartment in the drawer a measuring cup and pour in the detergent according to the mark shown on the measuring cup.

PART 5: MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• Disconnect the washing machine from the power socket.
• Shut off the water inlet.

The water inlet fi Iters

There are filters connected to the hose ends at the tap end and at the end of the inlet valves, which prevent dirt and foreign materials contained in water entering the washing machine. If the washing machine is not filling up with a sufficient amount of water despite the water inlet being open, clean these filters.

• Disconnect the supply hose.
  • Using tweezers take the fil ters out of the inlet valves and wash them with a brush.
• Using your hand take out the filters on the supply hoses at the end connected to the tap together with the seals and clean them.
  • After cleaning the filters put them back in the same way.

Attention:

The water inlet valves may be blocked by a contaminated water supply or because of inadequate necessary maintenance, or the valves may be damaged, which may cause a water to constantly flow through. For these reasons such types of malfunctions are not covered by the warranty.

The pump fi Iter

The pump filtration system extends the life of the pump, which is used for draining dirty water. It ensures that lint from the laundry does not enter the pump. We recommend you clean the pump filter every 2-3 months. Clean the pump filter as follows:

• Open the cover on the kickplate.
• Before opening the filter cover, place a container in front of it, into which the water remaining in the washing machine will flow.
• Loosen the filter cover by turning it anticlockwise and drain the water.
• Remove all foreign material from the fi Iter.
• Check by hand that the pump rotates.
  • After cleaning the pump, return the filter by turning it clockwise.

EN - 14

• Reattach the kickplate cover.
- Don't forget that if you do not attach it correctly, water will leak from your washing machine.

Siphon plug

Take out the washing detergent drawer. Pull out the siphon plug and thoroughly clean off fabric softener residue. Reinsert the cleaned siphon plug in its place. Check that it is properly inserted.

The washing machine cabinet

Clean the washing machine from the outside using lukewarm water and a gentle cleaning agent, which will not damage the surface coat of the washing machine cabinet. After rinsing with clean water, wipe the washing machine with a soft and dry wiping cloth.

WARNING!

If you have installed the washing machine in a place where the ambient temperature falls below 0^ C and you will not be using it, do the following:

• Connect the washing machine to a power socket.
• Close the water tap and disconnect the supply hose or hoses.
• Insert the end of the drain hose and supply hose into a container on the ground.
• Set to program selector to the drain program.
  • The program indicator light will turn on.
• Start the program by pressing the Start/pause button.
  • After the program has finished (the end indicator light will turn on) disconnect the washing machine from the power socket.

After completing these steps the remaining water in the washing machine will be drained, which will avoid the danger of it freezing inside the washing machine. If you wish to use the washing machine again, ensure that the ambient temperature is above 0^ C.

The Drum

Do not leave any metal items inside the washing machine, such as needles, clips or coins, etc. These items can cause rusty stains to appear on the drum. If you wish to remove these stains, use a cleaning agent not containing chloride and follow the instruct of the cleaning agent's manufacturer. Never use steel wool used for dishes, or any other similar abrasive items to clean the rusty stains.

Removal of scale deposits from the washing machine

We recommend the use of a commonly available scale remover and to follow the instructions printed on the packaging.

WARNING!

Scale removal mixes contain acids and may cause discolouration of your laundry and may have a negative effect on your washing machine.

PART6: PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Alcoholic beverages: First prewash the stain in cold water, then apply glycerine and water and rinse in a solution of water and vinegar.
