Part 1: | Steps before operating Fullautomatic Washing Machine and safety precautions

The current requirement in order for safe operation of this machine is 16 Ampheres. You will need to have a certified electrician to connect a 16 Amp fuse, if there is not enough current load.

Your washing machine is set to 230 Volts.

Do not forget to check the grounding in all cases of use with or without the transformer. Our company will not be responsible for any damages caused by operations without grounding.

In order to bring the machine to ready before use, please call your service technician or a certified plummer.

Your washing machine's front door is designed reversible. To change the front door's opening direction please call your service.

Please perform the first wash with detergent and do not place clothing inside your washing machine. This will ensure that any left over dirt from production will be cleared from inside of your machine.

The performance of the washing machine depends on the effectiveness of the cleaning agent. Stains can be permanent if low quality detergents are used. Please take necessary effort to clean the stained clothes as described in following pages before washing them in the machine.

Hoses

To prevent any leakage, have a technician to control the hoses every two years. If the machine is placed at cold ambient temperatures, the water remaining inside the pump and hoses should be removed from the filters. Also to prevent freezing, empty the water intake hoses by disconnecting from taps.

Water intake filter

At the end of the water intake connection module and water inlet hose-tap side, there exists filters. These filters prevent any dirt and objects passing into the machine. It is advisable that these filters should be cleaned every 30-40 washes. To clean the filter, first turn the tap off. Then, disconnect the hose and clean the filter with a thin brush. If the filter is very dirty, you may clean it by pulling out with pliers. To clean the filter at the tap side of the hose, pull it out by hand and clean the filter under the tap water.

Drum

Do not leave any metal objects (pins, needles, etc.) inside the drum. These objects may cause rust on the drum surface. Do not clean the drum with scratching elements.

Cleaning the pump filter

To prevent objects entering to the pump, your machine comes with a filter system that extends the pump life. It is advisable that you should clean the filter at every 30-40 washes. Before opening the filter door, disconnect the power. Turn the opening of kick plate screws 90° with a help of screw driver or a coin. Place a little pan infront of the filter door to prevent a little amount of water spilling from the machine. Remove the filter by turning it counter-clockwise direction. After cleaning the objects on the filter, place it by turning clockwise and make sure that it is closed firmly. Place the kick plate and secure it by locking the screws.

Attention! If the filter does not fit into its place, water will leak out from the filter.

Part 6:

Helpful tips on stain removal

The following stain removing tips are approximate and can only be used at the washable fabrics. Please consult the washing information of the fabric manufacturer.

Ratios are approximated.

Alcoholic baverages: Wipe the fabric first with water, then water-glycerine solution and rinse with vinegar-water solution.

Shoe polish: Without harming the fabric, remove the stain carefully and grind it with detergent. If this doesn't help, prepare a water to alcohol solution (2 to 1) and rub the fabric, then wash it with warm water.

Tea and coffee: Pour hot water on to the stain and the fabric is white, pour some bleach and rinse it with water.

Bubblegum: Harden the gum stain by putting an ice on it. Then scrape off the stain carefully.

Chocolate and cocoa: Place the fabric into cold water for a period of time. Rub it with soap or detergent and wash it with the warmest water that the fabric can withhold. If any grease stain leftover wipe it with oxygen water.

Tomato paste: Scrape the hardened paste and leave the fabric for 40 minutes into cold water. Rub it with detergent and wash.

Egg stain: If the stain is hardened scrape the stain and wipe it with wet sponge or a soft cloth. Rub it with detergent and wash with cold water.

Grease stain: Scrape the stain and rub it with detergent. Then wash the fabric with warm water.

Mustard: Use glycerin and rub the fabric with detergent. If unsuccessful, wipe the stain with alcohol. (Colored and synthetic fabrics need 2 cups water and 1 cup alcohol solution.)

Blood stain: Leave the fabric for 30 minutes in the cold water. Use ammonia solution to remove the stain. (4 liters water-3 spoonful of ammonia.)

Ice-cream, milk and cream: Place the fabric into cold water for a period of time. Rub it with soap or detergent and wash it with the warmest water that the fabric can withhold. If any grease stain leftover wipe it with oxygen water.

Mildew: Do not let mildew stains stay for long periods of time. Place the fabric into cold water for a period of time. Rub it with soap or detergent and wash it with the warmest water that the fabric can withhold. If any grease stain leftover wipe it with oxygen water.

Fruit: Pour cold water on to the stain and do not use warm water to rinse. Let it sit for 2 hours and wipe it with white vinegar and rinse.

Ink: Let the cold water run on the stain and wait until the stain is gone. Later rub it with lemon juice and detergent, let the stain stay for five minutes and rinse the fabric.

Grass stain: Rub the stain with detergent. If the fabric lets, use bleaching element. Wools should be wiped with alcohol.

Paint: Use thinner to remove the stain. Put a cotton cloth on the wool fabrics. Rub the stain with detergent and rinse with cold water.

Burnt stains: Use bleach if permissible. For wool fabrics place a oxygen water inserted cotton cloth on the stain and iron. Rinse completely and wash the fabric.
