Frequently Asked Questions - NA-18MG1 PANASONIC

How do I install the washing machine?
Ensure the machine is placed on a flat, sturdy surface. Remove all transportation bolts as described in the manual. Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4 inch thread and the drain hose to a suitable drain. Finally, level the machine by adjusting the feet.
What should I do if the machine does not start?
Check that the door is properly closed. Ensure the water supply is turned on and the drain hose is not kinked. Verify that the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped. If the issue persists, consult the troubleshooting section.
How often should I clean the lint filter?
The lint filter should be cleaned after every wash to maintain optimal performance. A clogged filter can cause drainage issues and reduce drying efficiency.
Can I use liquid detergent?
Yes, you can use liquid detergent. Pour it into the detergent compartment and do not exceed the maximum level mark. For pre-wash, use a separate compartment if available.
What is the maximum load capacity?
The maximum load capacity is 8 kg for cotton and 4 kg for delicate fabrics. Overloading may cause poor washing results and unbalanced spin cycles.
How do I activate the child lock?
Press and hold the 'Child Lock' button for 3 seconds to activate or deactivate the function. When activated, all buttons except the power button will be locked to prevent accidental operations.
Why is my machine making unusual noises during spin?
Unusual noises may be due to uneven load distribution. Pause the cycle and redistribute the laundry. Also, check that the machine is level and transportation bolts have been removed.
Can I install the machine under a counter?
Yes, the machine can be installed under a counter provided there is adequate clearance for hoses and ventilation. Remove the top panel if necessary following the installation guide.
How do I clean the drum?
Run a drum clean cycle with a washing machine cleaner or a cup of white vinegar every 2-3 months. This removes detergent residues and prevents odors.
What should I do if water is leaking?
Immediately turn off the water supply and unplug the machine. Check hose connections and ensure they are tight. Inspect the door seal for damage. Contact a technician if the leak persists.

How to unlock the child lock on the PANASONIC NA-18MG1?
Frequently Asked Questions - 07/07/2026
Response Notice-Facile

To unlock the child lock on your PANASONIC NA-18MG1, press and hold the [Delay] and [Funct.] buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until you hear a beep.

Important points:

  • Both buttons must be pressed exactly at the same time - pressing them sequentially will not work
  • When the child lock is active, the display shows "CL" alternating with the remaining time
  • Once unlocked, all buttons will function normally again

If the lock reactivates after a few days of use, this is normal for this model - it is a built-in periodic safety feature.
