3. How to Install

Choosing the right location

Install your Godrej Washing Machine in an even, stable place. An unstable location:

• can be dangerous since vibrations may cause your machine to move.
• can create noise as your machine may vibrate.

Keep a distance of at least 5 cm between the sides and rear of your machine and the nearest wall. This will reduce noise while operating the machine.

Do not place your machine in an area with high humidity or direct exposure to sunlight or rain. This can:

• result in damaged insulation.
- cause deformation or discoloration of plastic parts.

The washing machine is provided with castors which gives you the flexibility to move the machine to a convenient location. After washing keep your washing machine at a location free from high humidity and direct sunlight.

Step-by-step installation

• Lower the drainage hose to the floor. Make sure that the drainage hose is not kept too high, else it may not drain properly.
• Connect the water supply pipe to the water inlet. Insert the hose connector onto the water inlet till you hear a click.
• Plug in the power cord into the power supply socket. The machine requires a 220 V, 50 Hz 5 AC electrical supply.
• Place your machine on a level ground, if the floor is uneven, place a board underneath and bring it to a level position.
• To check if your machine is on a level ground, use a weight attached to a string. The distance between the string and your machine should be the same from top to bottom.

4. How to Wash

Precaution before washing

• Put your delicate clothes and undergarments in a washing net. This will prevent clothes from getting entangled during wash and protect your clothes. The washing nets are available in the market.
• Strings of aprons, petticoats, pyjamas etc. should be tied as this will prevent clothes from getting entangled.
• Close fasteners/zippers of trousers and jeans as this will prevent scratching of the wash tub.
• Remove articles like match sticks, hair pins etc. from pockets before washing.

Washing

• Shift the selector knob to 'Wash/Rinse' position and the water supply knob to 'Wash Tub' position.
• Adjust the water level selector depending on the wash load. (Refer to page 8 on how to estimate the wash load and select water level.)
• Turn on the water supply and allow water to fill 2-3 cms lower than the water level selected. Add the detergent and mix properly, so that the detergent dissolves fully in water.

Note: If water flows out of the water feed indicator outlet, located in the Wash Tub it indicates that water is flowing at a high speed which could cause water to spill over into the Spin Tub. Reduce the water flow till water stops flowing out of the water feed indicator outlet as shown in the illustration.

- Now put the wash load into the Wash Tub and fill water upto the water level selected.

- Select the cycle required for washing depending on the quantity of clothes to be washed, the type of fabric and the dirt levels of the clothes. Refer to page 8 for guidelines on selecting Wash Cycle.

Choose between Gentle, Normal & Strong by turning the wash selector knob.

• Select the wash time required. The time will vary depending on the number of clothes and type of fabric. (Refer to page 8 for guidelines on setting wash time.)
• Set the wash time by turning the Wash Timer clockwise. The machine starts working immediately on turning the knob.
  • A buzzer will indicate the completion of the wash cycle.
• After washing has stopped, shift the Selector knob to 'Drain' position to drain out the water from the Wash Tub.

5. How to do Intermediate Spinning

After the wash cycle, it is suggested that an Intermediate spin cycle with the Spin Shower facility be carried out. This helps remove the detergent solution from clothes and rinsing becomes more effective.

How to use the Spin Shower

• Remove washed clothes from the Wash Tub and transfer them uniformly into the Spin Tub as shown in Fig A.
• The Spin Cap needs to be placed horizontally above the clothes as shown in Fig A. Even in case of a small lot of clothes, the Spin Cap should be placed above the clothes. This is a safety requirement.

The clothes and the Spin Cap should not be placed as shown in Fig B as this could lead to vibrations and cause a rattling sound during the Spin Cycle.

• Shift the Water Supply Selector knob to 'Spin Tub' and allow the water to flow for about 1 minute.
  • Turn off the water supply, close the Inner Spin Tub lid and the Spin Tub lid.

Note: Spinning will not start till the Spin Tub lid is shut. For safety reasons, the machine is provided with a brake mechanism which gets activated as the spin tub lid is opened. This safe guards against accidental opening of the Spin Tub lid when the tub is in spinning at a high speed.

- Set the Spin timer by turning the knob clockwise. Choose between 1-5 minutes depending upon type and no. of clothes. For details refer to page 7.

6. How to Rinse

After the wash and Intermediate Spin cycle, use the Rinse cycle. This helps remove detergent from the clothes and makes them soap-free. Rinsing can be done in two ways:

I. Overflow Rinse

In this mode, water is continuously supplied to the Wash Tub during rinsing and the dirty water flows out through the overflow hose. In this mode very efficient rinsing can be done since the concentration of detergent in the water is lowered significantly.

• Transfer the washed clothes from the Spin Tub into the Wash Tub after the intermediate Spin cycle.
• Shift the Water Selector knob to 'Wash/Rinse' position.
• Shift the water supply knob to 'Wash Tub' position.
• Adjust the water level. (For guidelines refer to page 8.)
• Start the flow of water, and set the Wash Timer between 6 - 8 minutes and rinse under continuous water flow.
  • For best results repeat the process twice.

Caution

• Adjust the water flow while looking at the water level or water may spill out.
• Cover the Wash Tub with the Wash Tub lid while rinsing using "Overflow Rinse" option as this will prevent water spilling.

2. Rinsing with fixed amount of water

• Transfer the washed clothes from the Spin Tub into the Wash Tub after the Intermediate spin cycle.
• Shift the water selector knob to 'Wash/Rinse' position.
• Adjust the water level to 'High' and fill water upto the level.
  • Set the wash timer to 2 - 3 minutes.
  • After the rinsing cycle is over, shift the Water Selector knob to 'Drain' position. This will drain out the water from the Wash Tub.
  • Transfer the clothes to the Spin Tub for intermediate spinning.
• Repeat this process two to three times for best results.

7. How to Spin

- Remove washed clothes from the Wash Tub and transfer clothes uniformly into the Spin Tub as shown in Fig A.

The Spin Cap needs to be placed horizontally above the clothes as shown in Fig A. Even in case of a small lot of clothes, the Spin Cap should be placed above the clothes. This is a safety requirement.

The clothes and the Spin Cap should not be placed as shown in Fig B as this could lead to vibrations and cause a rattling sound during the Spin cycle.

• Shut the Inner Spin Tub lid and the Spin Tub lid.

Note: The Spinning will not start till the Spin Tub lid is shut. For safety reasons, the machine is provided with a brake mechanism which gets activated as the Spin Tub lid is opened. This safe guards against accidental opening of the Spin Tub lid when the tub is spinning at a high speed.

• Set the Spin time by turning the Spin Timer clockwise. Refer to table on guidelines for setting Spin time.
• Once the set spin time is over, the timer returns to its original position and the spinning activity stops.

Ending the process

• Switch off the main power supply and unplug the power cord.
• Drain the water completely from the drain pipe. Then hang the drainage hose on the hook provided on the side of the machine.
• Shift the water selector knob to 'Wash/Rinse' position.

Caution

• If bleaching powder or starch is used for washing, rinse the Wash Tub and Spin Tub with water and drain. This is required to remove any left over bleach/starch which may otherwise damage the Wash/Spin Tub.
• Remove the water supply joint first and then remove the water supply hose as this prevents water from spilling on to the controls of the machine.

9. Caution

• Never put organic chemicals like benzene, alcohol or thinner, or even clothes stained with such material in the washing machine as this may lead to fire hazards.
  • Never put your hands in the Spin Tub while it is moving.
• The washing machine should be plugged into a separate power socket. Do not take power supply for other appliances from the same source.
  • Do not get the control panel wet as this may lead to an electric shock.
• If the Spin Lid is open and the rotations do not stop completely within 15 seconds, it indicates that the self acting brakes are malfunctioning. Get them repaired immediately by an authorised service personnel.
• Switch off the power supply immediately if the supply voltage drops abnormally. Low voltage power supply may result in overheating of the electrical parts of your machine.
• It is necessary to use the Spin Cap for the spinning operation. The cap holds the clothes in place during spinning and prevents them from flying off.
• Do not rub the control panel with chemicals like benzene, thinner, etc. This may deform the parts or the colour may fade.
• Do not keep lit match sticks, cigarettes or candles near the machine as the plastic parts in your machine may deform or catch fire.
• Do not pour hot water of temperatures above 50°C into the Wash or Spin Tub as this may result in deformation or damage to the plastic parts.
