Frequently Asked Questions - SWT9043A Simpson

How do I install the washing machine?

Remove all packaging and transport bolts. Level the machine by adjusting the feet. Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with 3/4 inch thread. Insert the drain hose into a standpipe (min. 60 cm height) or hook over a sink. Plug into a properly grounded outlet.

What should I do if the machine does not start?

Check that the door is fully closed, the water supply is on, and the drain hose is not kinked. Ensure the program selector is correctly set and press Start/Pause. If still not working, reset the machine by unplugging for 1 minute.

How do I clean the filter?

Open the filter cover at the bottom front. Unscrew the filter slowly (a small amount of water may spill). Clean the filter under running water and remove any debris. Screw back firmly and close the cover.

Why is my laundry still wet after spinning?

The machine may have an unbalanced load. Redistribute clothes evenly. Also check that the selected spin speed is not too low. For heavy items like towels, use a higher spin speed.

Can I wash delicate fabrics in this machine?

Yes, use the Delicates or Wool program with cold or warm water. Place delicate items in a laundry bag for extra protection. Avoid high spin speeds.

How do I use the steam function?

Select a program that supports steam (e.g., Steam Refresh). The steam function helps reduce wrinkles and odors. Do not overload the drum; add up to 1.5 kg of dry garments only.

What is the Auto Dose feature?

Auto Dose automatically dispenses the correct amount of detergent based on the load size. Fill the detergent compartment with liquid detergent up to the MAX line. The machine will then dose accordingly.

How do I activate the child lock?

Press and hold the Child Lock button (or combination of buttons) for 3 seconds until the indicator lights up. To deactivate, repeat the same step.

What should I do if the machine displays an error code?

Refer to the manual for specific error codes. Common fixes: E01 (door lock) – close door properly; E02 (drain) – clean filter and check hose; E03 (water supply) – check tap and inlet filter. If persists, contact service.

How can I reduce noise and vibration?

Ensure the machine is level on a solid floor. Remove all transport bolts. Avoid overloading and distribute laundry evenly. Use anti-vibration pads if needed.

ABOUT YOUR WASHING MACHINE

• Out of Balance Interruption

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.

- Touchpad Response and Lights Always press touchpads gently.

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™ (Only for SWT1043/SWT9043A/SWT1023A)

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.

- Wash Operation

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.

- Agitation

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.

• Auto Water Level Feature

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.

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.

Your machine is most water efficient when Eco Rinse is used as the rinse option.

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.

3.1 PROGRAM SELECTOR KNOB

Turn the Program Selector knob to choose the wash program you want. The table "Your Program Guide" shown on page 16 will help you in selecting the right program.

The Program Selector knob is not a timer. Once you select a wash program, the Program Selector knob will stay at that position for the whole wash cycle.

3.2 WATER TEMPERATURES BUTTON

For each wash program your washing machine automatically selects a suitable fill water temperature. If you want to use a different wash water temperature, press the Temperature button repeatedly.

The water temp lights will tell you the temperature for each press of the button.

You have four temperatures to choose from Very Hot, Hot, Warm and Cold.

The temperature of warm water will depend on the temperature and pressure of your hot and cold water supplies. The recommended temperature for warm is 35^ C. You can adjust the flow rate of the water supplies to adjust the Warm temperature. All rinse water temperatures are cold.

Always check your label for the washing temperature symbols which the International Care Labelling Code now uses

Cold, Warm, Hot.

NOTE:

If you have a cold water connection ONLY and the hot inlet valve is capped off (refer installation instructions) you must select Cold washes only. To fill detergent, you must follow steps as below:

1. Measure the correct amount of powder detergent by following the recommendations on the package.

2. Mix powder detergent in one litre of hot or warm water.

3. Add the pre-mixed detergent to the wash load.

Water Temperatures

Temp.	Descriptions	Hot & Cold water usage proportion
		Hot valve Cold valve
Very Hot	for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. teaclothes, towels, tableclothes, sheets...).	100 %
Hot	for normally soiled, colourfast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas...) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).	67 % 33 %
Warm	for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and machine washable, non-shrink.	50 % 50 %
Cold		0 % 100 %

IMPORTANT: Components in the washing machine are designed to be used with water no hotter than 70^ C. If your water supply is too hot, you should have a temperature limiting valve fitted by a qualified plumber.

Flood diagnostic is explained on page 32. You should refer to this if you have water pouring onto the floorThe display will show “E30” and you will hear rapid short beep continuously to remind you about this problem.

3.3

WATER LEVEL BUTTON

Choose the water level by pressing Water Level button. Use only the amount of water you need for the wash load.

CHOOSE THE WATER LEVEL

1. Choose the water level by pressing Water Level touchpad.

You can select:

• Auto, Full, Medium and Low

(Auto level: the exact water level required to wash your clothes effectively is determined and set for you automatically, ensuring no water is wasted.)

1. Use only the amount of water you need for the wash load.

3.4

CHOOSE THE SPIN

TOUCH THE OPTIONS BUTTON TO SELECT THE SPIN OPTION.

Regular, Cold, Bedding, Heavy Duty, Rinse+Spin, Spin, Quick 20, Daily 45, Heavy Duty, Denim(*SWT1023A), Hand Wash, Sportswear (*SWT1023A): Can select all spin options Delicates: Can select Medium, Low and No Spin

Note: No spin is effect only to final spin by spin at gentle speed 1 minute only to prevent water drop to floor when moving the clothes out of the drum.

3.5 RINSE OPTION BUTTON

Pressing the "Rinse Option" touchpad allows you to change the rinse type. For most washes the machine automatically selects "Deep Rinse" for you. 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.

How does Eco Rinse work?

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.

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.

NOTE:

• 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 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 and Fabric softener will not be dispensed when Eco or Fast Rinse is selected.

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.

• Daily program rinse is fixed with Deep rinse only
- Quick20 program rinse is fixed with Fast rinse only

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS4.

These Washing Instructions are of a general nature and you should get good wash results by following them.

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.

4.1 SORT YOUR WASHING INTO SEPARATE WASH LOADS

Illustration of a woven basket with fabric, showing three stages of clothing or material processing (no text or symbols)

• 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	- Towels
- Synthetics	- Nappies
- Permanent press fabrics	- Chenille/Candlewick

i NOTE:

Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint producers.

• 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.

• ⚠ IMPORTANT!

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

- Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers.

• Tie any belts or long tapes.
• Remove persistent stains before washing.
• Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.
  • Treat curtains with special care.

- Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which you can purchase from your supermarket.

Line drawing of a container filled with food items, no text or symbols present

- Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.

4.2 PRE-TREATMENT SPRAYS AND STAIN REMOVERS

WARNING!

Pre-treatment sprays and stain remover can damage plastic components on your washing machine.

If you use pre-treatment sprays or stain removers, apply them to the clothing well away from your washing machine.

4.3 DETERGENT

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.

- Don't use the wrong type of detergent. You must use a low subsing 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

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified in so-called "degrees" of hardness.

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.

DAILY USE5.

5.1 STARTING YOUR WASHING MACHINE

1. Connect the mains plug to the mains socket.

2. Turn the water tap on.

5.2 LOAD THE WASHING MACHINE

When loading the clothes into your washing machine, there are four things to remember:

Line drawing of a hand washing clothes inside a washing machine (no text or symbols)

1. Clothes must be loaded evenly around the agitator.

For best result load small items first, followed by large items.

For example, a typical load should be loaded using the following sequence: handkerchiefs, wash cloths, undershorts, pillow cases, T-shirts, business shirts, tablecloths, sheets, bath towels.

1. Clothes must not be wrapped around the agitator.

2. The washing machine must not be overloaded. Clothes must be able to move during wash.

3. The load should contain only three or four large items, for example sheets. The rest of the load should be small items. A mixed load of large and small items will wash cleaner than a load of all large items.

5.3 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:

1. Pull the dispenser drawer forward until it stops.

2. Lift the front of the drawer up and forward to

remove it from the runners.

1. Check the position of the flap at the rear of the detergent compartment in the dispenser drawer.

(Factory setting is flap up for powder.)

1. Clip the flap down if you intend to use liquid detergent.

1. Refit the dispenser back into its runners.

Remember: If you change the type of detergent you use, the position of the flap will need changing. See picture.

1. You are now ready to add detergent. Measure the amount required and pour it into the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.

When using liquid detergent, some may leak 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.

1. If you want to use fabric softener, see "Add fabric softener".
2. Close the drawer by pushing it backwards into the top panel of the washing machine when you have finished adding detergent.

Don't do these things:

• 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 perform will in this machine.

- Use soap based products in your washing machine.

ADD FABRIC SOFTENER

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 recommended on the softener package into a cup and then pour it into the softener compartment of the dispenser drawer.

Caution: Do not overfill the fabric softener dispenser.

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.

5.5 ADDING BLEACH

6.4 CLEANING YOUR WASHING MACHINE

To clean the inside and outside of your washing machine you should:

Wipe the surface with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water.1.

Wipe dry with a soft cloth.2.

IMPORTANT: Never use solvents, aerosol cleaners, spray pack cleaners, glass, cleaners, metal polishes, caustic materials, scourers or general household cleaners on or near top panel and lid, control panel or other parts of your washing machine.

6.5 CLEANING STAINS IN THE WASHBOWL

Stains in the wash bowl can be caused by:

• metal objects such as bobby pins, dressmaking pins and nails;
• salt;
• body oils and grease from very dirty or sweaty clothes being deposited around the top of the washbowl;
• excessive foam during wash if incorrect or too much detergent is used.

IMPORTANT:

Check all pockets before loading clothes into your washing machine.

Don't leave wet clothing (especially swimwear) in the bowl for too long before you wash it.

How To Clean the Stainless Steel Wash Bowl :

1. Wipe with a cleaning product which is marked suitable for stainless steel.
2. Oily deposits can be removed by wiping surfaces with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water.

IMPORTANT:

Never use bleach cleaners or steel wool to clean the stainless steel washbowl.

AVOIDING BUILD UP OF UNDISSOLVED DETERGENTS

If you only wash with cold water, undissolved detergent and body oils will build up in the washing machine. This build-up can cause spotting on your clothes.

To avoid this build-up :

• do not use too much fabric softener with cold water;
- select a hot water wash at least once a month;
• always dissolve the detergent in one litre of warm water.

7. HELPFUL HINTS IN DEALING WITH WASHING PROBLEMS

7.1 RESIDUES ON WASHED ITEMS

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.

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.
• 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.

- 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.)

– The Colours Program
– The Heavy Duty Program

7.2 STAINED CLOTHES - HINTS FOR REMOVING STAINS

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.

• 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.

i NOTE:

Chemicals referred to for stain removal are available from your local supermarket, hardware store or the chemist.

WARNING!

Pre-treatment sprays and stain removers can damage plastic components on your washing machine.

CAUTION!

Do no use dry cleaning fluids or solvents near your washing machine. These fluids will damage your washing machine and may cause an explosion.
