BEFORE USING THE WASHING MACHINE

Removing the packaging and inspection

• After unpacking, ensure that the washing machine is undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the washing machine. Contact After-Sales Service or your local retailer.
• Check that the accessories and supplied parts are all present.
• Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous.

Remove the transport bolts

Important:

• Transport bolts which are not removed can cause damage to the appliance.

• Screw off all transportation bolts for approx. 30mm with wrench following the direction of arrow shown (not fully screw it off).

1. Push four transportation bolts on horizontal direction inward and loose transportation bolt.

1. Pull out transportation bolt together with rubber part and plastic part.

B Product usage

1. To ensure safety and reduce noise, you should install the transportation bolt cover supplied with the unit (see the annex accompanying the unit). Lean and place the transportation bolt into hole and press it following the shown direction until it clicks.

Important: Keep the transport bolts and the wrench for future transporting of the appliance and in this case refit the transport bolts in reverse order.

Adjustment of the feet

The appliance must be installed on a solid and level floor surface (if necessary use a spirit level). If the appliance is to be installed on a wooden floor, distribute the weight by placing it on a 60 × 60 cm sheet of plywood at least 3cm in thickness and secure it to the floor. If the floor is uneven, adjust the 4 leveling feet as required; do not insert pieces of wood etc. under the feet.

1. Slacken the locknut clockwise (see arrow) using the wrench.

1. Lift the machine slightly and adjust the height of the foot by revolving it.

Important: tighten the locknut by turning it anti-clockwise towards the appliance casing.

B Product usage

Install bottom cover

To realize quieter operation, a bottom cover is supplied with the unit (only applies to some of the Hisense washers). After installing the cover at the bottom of the washer, the noise level will be greatly reduced. Please ask for advice from specialists before installing the cover, nevertheless, the machine can be used without the bottom cover.

Noise-reduction bottom plate installation instructions

1. Before installing the noise-reduction bottom plate, align and paste the acoustic absorption wool with and along the right-angle impression on bottom plate (this procedure is unnecessary for some of the models without acoustic absorption wool).

1. Remove surface paper on double sided tape at four sides of the bottom plate.

1. Incline the machine to an angle of 40^ and let the side with right-angle notch face towards front of the washing machine, as shown in the figure. Insert the side with oblique-angle notch between two foot screws at back of the washing machine completely in place. Then, install the bottom plate and ensure that it contacts with bottom of the washing machine closely.

B Product usage

1. Press the double sided tape on four sides manually to secure the noise-reduction palate to the machine body firmly.

Connect the water supply inlet hose

1. If the water inlet hose is not already installed, it must be screwed to the appliance. The blue marked hose is only for cold water.

1. Screw by hand the inlet hose onto the tap, tightening the nut.

Attention:

No kinks in the hose!
- The appliance must not be connected to the mixing tap of an un-pressurized water heater.
- Check water-tightness of connections by turning the tap completely on.
If the hose is too short, replace it with a suitable length of pressure resistant hose (1000 kPa min).
- Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and replace if necessary.
The washing machine can be connected without a non-return valve.

Connect the drain hose

In case the drain hose is installed as shown below:

1. Unhook it only from the right clip (see arrow)

1. Connect the drain hose to the Drain or hook it over the edge of a sink by means of the "U" bend.

Fit the "U" bend E, if not already installed, at the end of the drain hose.

Notes:

• Ensure that there are no kinks in the drain hose.
• Secure the hose so that it cannot fall down. After wash phase, machine will drain out hot water.
  Small hand basins are not suitable.
• To make an extension use a hose of the same type and secure the connections with clips.
  Max. Overall drain hose length: 2.50m

B Product usage

Before the first wash cycle

To remove any residual water used during testing by the manufacturer, we recommend that you carry out a short wash cycle without laundry.

1. Open the tap.
2. Close the door.
3. Pour a little detergent (about 30ml ) into the middle detergent compartment.
4. Select and start a short programme.

Preparation of the washing

1. Sort the laundry according to...
   Type of fabric / care label symbol

Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics, wool, handwash items.
Colour

Separate coloured and white items. Wash new coloured articles separately.
- Loading

Wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve washing efficiency and distribution in the drum.

Delicates

Wash small items (e.g. nylon stockings, belts etc.) and items with hooks (e.g. bras) in a cloth bag or pillow case with zip. Always remove curtain rings or wash curtains with the rings inside a cotton bag.

1. Empty all pockets

Coins, safety pins etc. can damage your laundry as well as the appliance drum and tub.

1. Fasteners

Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied together. Stain removal

Blood, milk, eggs etc. are generally removed by the automatic enzyme phase of the programme.

• To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit stains etc. add a stain remover to the middle detergent compartment.
• Pre-treat heavily-soiled areas with stain remover if necessary.

Dyeing

Only use dyes that are suitable for washing machines.
- Follow the Manufacturer's instructions.
- Plastic and rubber parts of the washing machine can be stained by dyes.

Loading the laundry

1. Open the door.
2. Load the articles one at a time loosely into the drum, without overfilling. Observe the load sizes given in the quick reference guide.

B Product usage

Note: Overloading the machine will result in unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry.

1. Close the door.

Detergents and additives

Always use high efficiency, low foam detergent for a front load machine. The choice of detergent depends on:

Type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics, delicate items, wool).

Note: Use only specific detergents for washing wool.

Colour
The wash temperature
Degree and type of soiling

Remarks:

Any whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble compounds used in modern phosphate-free powder detergents. If this occurs, shake or brush out the fabric or use liquid detergents. Use only detergents and additives specifically produced for domestic washing machines. When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches for the pre-wash, make sure that they are suitable for use in domestic washing machines. Descalers could contain products which could damage your washing machine. Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzine). Do not wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.

Dosage

Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on:

• Degree and type of soiling
  Size of wash

Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions for a full load;

Half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load;

Minimum load (about 1kg ): 1/2 the amount used for a full load;

• Water hardness in your area (ask for information from your water company). Soft water requires less detergent than hard water.

Notes:

Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing efficiency. If the washing machine detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning. Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry in time and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.

Where to put detergent and additives

The detergent drawer has three compartments [fig. "A"]

Detergent compartment

Detergent
- Stain remover
Water softener (water hardness class 4)

Softener compartment

• Fabric softener Pour additives only up to the «MAX» mark.

• When the auto dosing function is cancelled, please place the detergent into this compartment.

A

Notes:

• Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.
• To prevent dispensing problems when using highly concentrated powder and liquid detergents, use the special detergent ball or bag supplied with the detergent and place it directly inside the drum.
• When using descending agents, bleaches or dyes, make sure that they are suitable for washing machines. Descalers could contain compounds that can damage parts of your washing machine.
• Do not use any solvents in the washing machine (e.g. turpentine, benzine).

Depending on the model, your washing machine is equipped with various automatic safety functions. This enables faults to be detected in good time and the safety system can then react appropriately. These faults are frequently so minor that they can be resolved within a few minutes.

Problem	Check whether / Possible cause
The washing machine will not start, no indicator lamps are on.	·The mains plug is inserted into the socket and the power switched ‘ON’. ·The wall socket is functioning correctly (use a table lamp or similar appliance to test it).
The washing machine will not start...	·The door is properly closed; ·The “Start/Pause” button has been pressed; ·The “Water tap closed” indication lights up. Open the water tap and press the “Start/Pause” button.
The appliance stops during the programme (varies depending on model).	·Check if there is too much foam inside, machine enters kill-foam routine. The machine will run again automatically after a period. ·The washing machine’s safety system has been activated (see “Fault description table”).
Residue from detergent and additives left in the detergent drawer at end of wash.	·The cover grid of the softener compartment and the cover grid of the detergent compartment are correctly installed in the detergent dispenser and all parts are clean (see “Care and maintenance”); ·Sufficient water is entering. The mesh filters of the water supply could be blocked (see “Care and maintenance”);
Machine vibrates during spin cycle.	·The washing machine is level and standing firmly on all four feet; ·The transport bolts have been removed. Before using the machine, it is imperative that the transport bolts are removed.
Final spin results are poor.	The washing machine has an imbalance detection and correction system. If individual heavy items are loaded (e.g. bathrobes), this system may reduce the spin speed automatically or even interrupt the spin completely if it detects too great an imbalance even after several spin starts, in order to protect the washing machine. ·If the laundry is still too wet at the end of the cycle, remove some articles of laundry and repeat the spin cycle. ·Excessive foam formation may prevent spinning. Use the correct amount of detergent. ·Check that the spin speed selector has not been set to “0”.
If your washing machine has a time display: the programme time initially displayed is lengthened / shortened by a period of time:	This is a normal capacity of the washing machine to adapt to factors that can have an effect on the wash programme time, e.g.: ·Excess foam formation; ·Load imbalance due to heavy items of laundry; ·Prolonged heating time due to reduced inlet water temperature; Because of influences like these, the time remaining in the programme run is recalculated, and updated if necessary. In addition, during the filling phase, the washing machine determines the load and if necessary adjusts the initial programme time displayed accordingly. During such update periods, an animation appears on the time display.
