Frequently Asked Questions - SI 4000 Convair

How do I install the Convair SI 4000 washing machine?

Remove all packaging and transportation bolts. Place the machine on a level, solid floor. Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with 3/4 inch thread. Connect the drain hose to a standpipe or sink. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.

What should I do if the machine doesn't start?

Check that the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the door is fully closed. Verify that the water tap is open. If the problem persists, consult the manual or contact support.

How do I clean the detergent drawer?

Pull out the drawer fully, press the release lever, and remove it. Rinse under warm water to remove residue, clean the compartment with a cloth, and reassemble. Do this every 3 months.

What does the 'Child Lock' do and how to activate it?

Child Lock prevents accidental button presses during a cycle. To activate, press and hold the Child Lock button for 3 seconds until a key symbol appears on the display.

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean the drain pump filter every 2-3 months or when an error code indicates clogging. Unplug the machine, open the cover, unscrew the filter, remove lint, and replace.

Can I use liquid detergent in the Convair SI 4000?

Yes, but pour it into the liquid detergent compartment (compartment II) and do not exceed the max line. For powder detergent, use compartment I (prewash) and II (main wash).

Why is the drum not spinning?

Check if the unbalanced load is causing the machine to redistribute. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked. Verify that the spin speed is set correctly. If the machine still won't spin, check the filter for blockages.

What is the maximum load capacity?

The maximum dry load capacity is 7 kg for cotton programs. For synthetics and delicates, reduce to 3.5 kg and 2 kg respectively to ensure proper cleaning.

How do I run a drum clean cycle?

Select the Drum Clean program from the program dial. Press Start. The machine will heat water to 90°C to remove bacteria and odor. Run monthly with an empty drum.

Where can I find spare parts for the SI 4000?

Spare parts such as belts, bearings, hoses, electronic boards, and door seals can be ordered from Convair authorized service centers. Use the model number SI 4000 when contacting.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Warning: Always disconnect the cooler from the electricity mains power before moving, cleaning or any maintenance.

Regular Maintenance:

Regular maintenance will maximize the efficiency and service life from your cooler. Before starting any maintenance operation, read thoroughly all operating and maintenance instructions observing all cautions and warning.

Whilst the cooler is still operating, turn off the COOL mode and operate the cooler on FAN only, to allow the cooling pads to dry thoroughly.

General Cleaning:

Dampen a clean cloth with water and use it on the exterior of the cooler to remove any dust or dirt. Never use harsh detergents, solvents, corrosive cleaners or any chemicals to clean the cooler. When not in use, drain the water tank and store the cooler in an area where it is dry and out of the sunlight.

Cleaning the Water Tank:

Place the cooler over a drain or other location where water can be safely removed from the tank. Remove the drain plug located at the bottom of the cooler and empty the water (refer Fig. 2, pg 4). Replace the plug, refill the water tank then remove the plug and drain the cooler again. This should be done weekly to reduce water and mineral build up and extend the life of the cooling pads.

Adamp cloth can be used to remove calcium build-up inside and outside of the cooler. The inside of the water tank should be cleaned once or twice in a season to maintain air quality.

Cleaning the Cooling Pads:

The cooler uses honeycomb cooling pads. In areas where the mineral content of the water is high, deposits may build up and restrict air flow. In this case, it is recommended that the pads be deep cleaned every two months.

Caution: Front and Rear Pad assemblies should be removed and serviced one at a time to avoid mixing of components.

Rear Pad Assembly:

Remove the two screws retaining the rear panel (Fig.6). Remove the rear panel assembly. You now have access to the inside of the water tank and honeycomb pad. To remove the pad, undo the four screws holding the pad frame to the rear panel (Fig. 8 & 9).

Once the pad frame is free, gently bend the tabs on each side to release the water spreader pan (Fig.10). Once the water spreader removed, the cooling pad can slide out of the assembly for cleaning (Fig.11).

Front Pad Assembly:

Remove the four screws retaining the front panel (Fig.7). Remove the front panel assembly by lifting the bottom side and unhooking the tabs on top. To remove the pad follow the same instructions as the rear pad assembly.

The pads can be cleaned with a soft stream of water. Do not use high pressure water as this may damage the pad. Remove any large debris by hand. Clean the pad frames, spreader and grilles by using a soft brush or damp cloth to remove mineral buildup and debris.

Once cleaning is finished, the cooler should be allowed to dry out completely before reassembly.

Reassemble the cooler in the reverse order as described above.
