AKAI AK-WVDCMB - CAUTION! - 1
WARNING: Risk of fire

This symbol alerts you to take care as oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat, such as in a clothes dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

- Cool down: The final part of a clothes dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that will not damage them.

WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are removed quickly and spread out so the heat is dissipated.

- Door lock: In order to prevent burns, during the final part of the dry cycle the machine will reduce the temperature of the drum. The time on the display will stop reducing during this process. The door will unlock only after the temperature has reduced. Do not stop the machine during this cooling period.

- Flammable, explosive or toxic substances must not be used as washing detergents or for cleaning the machine.

- Capacity: Do not overload this machine; its maximum capacity is 10 kg (for a dry wash load), or 6 kg for the dryer function. See page 23 for more information.

• Water intake: Never refill the water by hand during washing.

- After use: After the program is finished, wait until the drum has stopped spinning and the door lock icon is no longer lit before opening the door. If water is still visible, do not attempt to open the door. Do not add or remove clothes while the drum is spinning.

General Safety Instructions (Cont.)

  • Subsequent cycles: After turning off the power supply to the machine, wait at least two minutes before turning it back on again.
  • Disconnect the water and power supplies after use.

CAUTION: Hot!

  • Parts of the appliance can become hot during use and retain heat for some time after turning off. Do not touch hot surfaces! Keep the power cord away from hot parts. Do not cover the appliance.
  • During a hot wash, or the drying process, the door window may become hot. Do not touch it, and ensure to keep children and pets away from the machine during operation.
  • Be careful of burning when the machine drains hot washing water.

Cleaning and maintenance

  • Disconnect: Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, always unplug the appliance from the power supply.
  • CAUTION! After each wash, clean the door and the door seals and remove any threads, lint or foreign objects. Also check the detergent drawer and clean out detergent residues. Regularly clean the power plug to remove dust and dirt and avoid contact failure. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be carried out by children without supervision. Do not spray the machine with water.
  • CAUTION! Cleaning the inside of your machine regularly is particularly important if you frequently use a cold wash cycle, especially if you also use a fabric softener. Liquid detergents can cause detergent scum to build up around the outside of the drum, which cold water will not remove and which can cause bacteria, unpleasant odours, and eventually soiling of your wash load.
  • Do not open the housing: The washing machine has no user-serviceable parts contained within. Do not attempt to repair or dismantle it.
  • Do not attempt to modify this product in any way. Doing so is dangerous and will void your warranty.
  • Service: Only have the appliance serviced by authorised service personnel. Service or repairs carried out by inexperienced or unqualified persons may cause injury and/or make more serious repairs to the appliance necessary.
  • NOTE: While your washer dryer combo does not have a lint filter to maintain, excess lint can collect in the drain pump. It is important to clean the drain pump every two months to ensure optimal product performance and the longevity of your machine.

CAUTION!

The door will not unlock when the temperature inside the drum is above 53 °C, and/or when the water is above a certain level.

For your safety, do not turn the program dial to the off position [O], open the machine and access the washing while the machine is running, or when the power supply is cut off. The water temperature may be high and it may scald you. The door will automatically unlock at the end of a wash program when the temperature of the drum has cooled down.

Removing the transit bolts

WARNING!

Before installing the washer dryer, you must remove the transit bolts from the back of the housing and cover the holes with the transit hole caps provided.

The bolts hold the drum in place during transport but they must be removed before use so the drum can move during the wash and spin cycles. Leaving the bolts installed will result in strong shock and noise during use, malfunction and serious damage to the machine.

  • Dismantle the four transit bolts from the back of the machine using an appropriate tool (Fig. 2).
  • Keep the bolts in a safe place; you will need them again when moving the appliance, if you move house, for example.
    • Cover the holes with the supplied caps.

Selecting the location

Before installing the appliance, make sure the location meets the following requirements:

  • A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for a washer dryer, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface.
  • The machine must be level and securely positioned. It must be protected from direct sunlight, water and weather.
  • The distance between the machine and wall must be more than 10 cm (Fig. 3).
  • To avoid vibrations during spinning, the machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings. If the appliance must be placed on a carpeted surface, place a plastic mat underneath and ensure any ventilation openings in the base are not obstructed.

WARNING!

Stability is important to prevent the appliance from moving during operation. Make sure that the machine does not stand on the power cord.

Installation (Cont.)

Levelling the machine

WARNING!

It is very important to level the washer dryer carefully, especially if your floor is uneven. Failure to do so may result in the machine shaking and moving during the spin cycle, or out-of-balance problems.

Place the machine on solid, dry and level ground. The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect installation may cause vibrations and noise and may cause the machine to move about.

To determine whether levelling is necessary, place a spirit level on top of the washer dryer and hold it upright against the housing to identify any inclinations. If the machine needs levelling, proceed as follows (Fig. 4):

Fig. 4 Locknuts Loose High Locked Low Adjustable feet

  • Loosen the lock nut with a spanner, turning it anticlockwise to loosen.
  • Adjust the foot by hand until it makes close contact with the floor. Turn it clockwise to lower the foot or anticlockwise to raise it.
  • When the machine is level, use a spanner to turn the lock nut in a clockwise direction to tighten.

WARNING!

The lock nuts on all four feet must be screwed tightly against the housing, otherwise the machine may vibrate noisily during operation.

Installation (Cont.)

Installing the drain hose

WARNING!

Do not kink or protract the drain hose.

Position the drain hose properly in order to prevent water spillage onto the floor and potential damage.

Never immerse the end of the drain hose in water.

The drain hose is installed at the back of the machine. For drainage of the washing water, you can install the other end of the hose two different ways: either directly into a laundry sink or into a standpipe.

Instructions (Cont.)

Before first use

CAUTION!

Make sure the washing machine is properly and securely installed before using it. Before using the washing machine for washing clothes, run a complete washing cycle without clothes, using the drum clean program.

Before using this machine for the first time, please review the following important points and make sure you have completed all preparatory steps.

• All transit bolts are removed.
- The washing machine is stable and level. If necessary, adjust the levelling feet to stabilise the machine (see page 14).
- The water supply hose is properly installed (see page 17) and the water tap is open.
- The power plug is firmly inserted into a nearby power point and power is switched on to the outlet.
- The drain hose is properly installed and secured into the laundry sink or a standpipe (see pages 15–16).
- IMPORTANT! Before using the washing machine for the first time, run a complete drum clean program without laundry items and without any detergent. This will ensure any residual water from factory quality checks is removed from the tub.

Door lock

  • The door of the front load washing machine locks automatically when the machine is working. It cannot be opened without first pausing the wash program. To unlock the door, press the Start/Pause button. Then turn the program dial (knob) to the [O] position: the door will unlock after approximately two minutes.
  • The door will not unlock when the temperature inside the drum is above 53 °C, and/or when the water is above a certain level.
  • At the end of a wash program, the door will unlock after two minutes.
  • Suds may flow out of the open door if it is opened during the wash cycle. Beware of suds escaping from the machine and have a cloth/towel ready for catching spills.

CAUTION!

For your safety, do not turn the program dial to the position [O] position, open the machine and access the washing while the machine is running, or when the power supply is cut off. The water temperature may be high and it may scald you. The door will automatically unlock at the end of a wash program when the temperature of the drum has cooled down.

Do not attempt to open the door forcibly. Doing so is unsafe and will cause damage to the locking mechanism.

Instructions (Cont.)

Detergent recommendations

WARNING!

Do not use flammable and explosive or toxic solvents, petrol, alcohol or other chemicals in the machine.

Keep detergents and clothing care preparations out of reach of children.

  • Only use low-sudsing detergent and clothing care preparations that are suitable for use in a front load washing machine, or in a top and front load machine. Detergents for top load machines are unsuitable because they tend to produce too much suds, which may cause overflowing from the detergent drawer.
  • Use detergent in the amounts recommended on the detergent packaging. Dosage depends on your amount of washing, the degree of soiling, water hardness and the washing performance of your detergent. Using too little detergent will give poor washing results, but too much will affect rinse performance and may cause overflow of suds, which could interfere with machine operation. Do not overfill detergent!
  • Pull open the detergent dispenser drawer and add detergent, as illustrated (Fig. 12) and described below.

Fig. 12 Main wash compartment Fabric softening compartment Pre-wash compartment

II or II The detergent compartment on the left side of the drawer is for low-sudsing detergent for the main wash.
or The detergent compartment on the right side of the drawer is for low-sudsing detergent for the pre-wash.
or ✅The middle compartment is for fabric softener. It will be dispersed through the washing during the last rinse cycle. Concentrated fabric softeners should be diluted as required. Do not exceed the maximum level mark.

Each wash/dry cycle

Before loading the washing machine/clothes dryer:

  • Make sure you have read all safety precautions in this manual and are aware of the items (listed on page 28) that cause a hazard if placed in the washing machine or clothes dryer.
  • Check that no young child or pet has climbed into the drum.
  • Ensure that the water inlet hose and the drain hose are properly connected.
  • Ensure that the drain hose is securely connected into the drain spout or sink.

When loading the machine:

  • Empty all pockets of clothing to be washed. Hard, sharp objects such as coins, safety pins, hair pins, paper clips, bra wires, nails, screws or stones can cause extensive damage to the appliance and block the pump. Any damage or malfunction resulting from foreign objects is not covered by your warranty and may lead to expensive repairs.
  • Remove any combustible objects (such as lighters and matches) or materials from inside pockets.
  • Turn items with zippers inside out, close zippers, hooks and eyelets, fasten buckles and tie fabric belts. This will also help reduce impact noise when the items hit against the turning drum.
  • Ensure all items are marked as suitable for machine washing and/or tumble drying (see page 32).
  • Sort your washing/drying according to fabric type and washing/drying program. Separate dark and light coloured items. Place small or delicate items into a wash bag for protection. (Do not dry underwire bras in the washer dryer.)
  • Brush dirt, sand or pet hair off clothes and turn pockets inside out. Pretreat stains.
  • Turn items that pill easily inside out.
  • Knitted textiles may shrink a little when tumble dried. Please do not over-dry such items. Allow for shrinkage when choosing the size of new purchases.
  • The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying. Easy care items such as shirts should be briefly pre-spun before drying.
  • To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
  • As the dryer heat may permanently set stains, check and ensure your washing is clean and free of stains.

Instructions (Cont.)

  • Do not overload the machine; the maximum dry washing capacity is 10 kg, and the maximum drying capacity is 6 kg (see the table on page 23 for specific information on the capacities of different programs). If you have selected a program that uses both washing and drying functions, load the machine based on its maximum drying capacity.
  • To avoid items getting tangled up in the dryer, which results in uneven drying, shake items out thoroughly before placing them into the dryer one at a time.
  • Put your washing/drying in the machine, loading items uniformly in the drum. For best results, include both larger and smaller items in a wash.
  • When your washing is properly loaded in the machine, close the door and ensure that no items are caught in the door.

When selecting a program:

  • Pull out the detergent dispenser and add detergent as required, then close the dispenser (see page 25 for instructions).
  • Select a wash and/or dry program (see pages 19-20 for more details).
  • Make any desired modifications to this program. Remember, Dry, Quick Dry and Refresh are dry only programs. To add a drying cycle to a wash program, press the relevant button. Now is also the time to add a delayed start, extra rinse cycle, or engage the mute function and/or child lock.
  • Select the Start/Pause button to start the program.

When unloading the machine:

  • Wait for the cycle to finish; a buzzer will sound when the drum has cooled sufficiently and any remaining water has drained. The machine will change into standby mode after 10 minutes of inactivity.
  • Turn the dial back to the [O] position. Unplug the machine from the power supply and close the water tap.
  • Open the door and unload the washer dryer. We recommend you leave the door slightly ajar so the drum can dry properly and to prevent mould and odour development.

Instructions (Cont.)

CAUTION: Do NOT wash the following items in the washing machine:

  • jackets, raincoats, sleeping bags, fishing coats and similar clothes
  • carpets or floor rugs
  • underwire bras—instead, ensure these are placed in a closed garment bag before washing in the machine
  • clothes that have any residues of flammable materials, as this may result in fire or explosion (for example, articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or dabbed with industrial chemicals, or combustible or explosive substances e.g. wax, oil, paint, petrol, alcohol, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.); items containing such substances must be washed by hand or rinsed thoroughly before machine-washing them
  • single items, as this can cause unbalance problems during the wash or spin cycles; we suggest you always add a few more items to the wash to avoid such problems
  • items such as ties, suits, evening attire; silk or fur attire; or anything else labelled unsuitable for machine-washing—always check the garment label (see page 32).

CAUTION: Do NOT dry the following items using the dryer function:

  • woollen clothes, silks, and clothes that contain leather, foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials
  • undergarments that contain metal reinforcements (such as underwire bras), which can come loose during drying and damage the clothes dryer
  • plastic articles such as shower caps or waterproof baby bibs
  • rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber coated tennis shoes
  • fabric softeners or similar products, unless they are specifically recommended by the product manufacturer for use in a clothes dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity
  • clothes that have any residues of flammable materials, as this may result in fire or explosion (for example, articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or dabbed with industrial chemicals, or combustible or explosive substances e.g. vegetable oil, cooking oil, acetone, wax, oil, paint, petrol, alcohol, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, spot-removers, wax-removers, some hair-care products, kerosene, etc.) (see note)
  • single items, as this can cause unbalance problems during the dry or spin cycles; we suggest you always add a few more items to the wash to avoid such problems
  • items such as ties, suits, evening attire, fur attire, or anything else labelled unsuitable for tumble-drying—always check the garment label (see page 32).

NOTE:

  • If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be dried in the machine, they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent. This will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
  • Items that have been soiled with substances such as oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine or wax removers should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

Other Useful Information (Cont.)

Cleaning and care

To prolong the service life of the machine, keep it in good condition and perform regular maintenance.

WARNING!

For any type of cleaning and maintenance, make sure the washer dryer is disconnected from the mains power supply and the water tap is closed.

Cleaning the cabinet (when required)

  • Use a soft cloth to wipe any water or dirt off the washer housing.
  • To remove dirt and stains, use a mild detergent solution and a damp cloth. Squeeze it almost dry to avoid leaving water residues.

WARNING!

Do not use any solvents, alcohol, harsh chemicals, alkaline or abrasive cleaning agents, or sharp objects, to avoid damaging the surface. Do not hose down the appliance or spray water directly onto the housing.

Cleaning the drum (every three months)

  • Make sure all laundry items are removed from the drum, then wipe it clean with a soft dry or damp cloth.
  • If you notice any rust residues left inside the drum from laundry items with metal parts (such as buttons or zippers), wipe the residues off immediately with chlorine-free detergent. Never use steel wool.
  • To remove dirt and/or detergent residues and scum build-up from the inside and outside of the drum, run the Drum Clean program every three months without any clothes or detergent.

CAUTION!

Cleaning the inside of your washer dryer regularly is particularly important if you frequently use a cold wash cycle, especially if you also use a fabric softener. Liquid detergents can cause detergent scum to build up around the outside of the drum, which cold water will not remove and which can cause bacteria, unpleasant odours, and eventually soiling of your wash load.

Other Useful Information (Cont.)

Cleaning the detergent drawer (when required)

Remove detergent residues regularly. The detergent dispenser may be removed for cleaning.

  • Pull open the dispenser drawer until you feel a resistance. Press down the release catch and at the same time pull the drawer right out of the machine (Fig. 14).
  • Remove the siphon from the compartment and clean it.
  • Clean the drawer using a brush and warm water (Fig. 15).
  • Use a bottle brush to remove detergent residues from inside the drawer housing (Fig. 16).
  • Wipe all parts dry with a clean cloth, then reinstall the drawer back into its space.

WARNING!

For any type of cleaning and maintenance, make sure the washer dryer is disconnected from the mains power supply and the water tap is closed.

Do not open the pump filter cover during the course of a wash program.

If you are checking the drain pump after a hot water wash, take particular care as any residual water in the machine may be hot. Wait until the water has cooled down to avoid burns.

Drain pump maintenance (every two months)

NOTE: While your washer dryer combo does not have a lint filter to maintain, excess lint can collect in the drain pump. It is therefore important to clean the drain pump every two months to ensure optimal product performance and the longevity of your machine.

In order to avoid blockages created by excess lint, threads or items such as bobby pins, coins, etc., check the drain pump filter regularly, especially if the machine fails to drain the water or spin properly, or if you notice any unusual noises during the drain or spin cycles. We recommend you clean the filter every two months, or when there is a fault and the error code [E03] is displayed on the screen.

CAUTION: If you are checking the drain pump after a hot water wash, wait until any residual water has cooled to a safe level.

  1. Open the service cover using a screwdriver (Fig. 19).
  2. Place a container underneath the drain pump filter when removing it, and always keep a rag nearby to dry up any water spillage.
  3. Remove the filter plug. Any residual water will drain out (Fig. 20).
  4. Remove any foreign objects. Clean the filter plug carefully with water and a soft brush (Fig. 21).
  5. Screw the filter plug back into position.
  6. Close the service cover and secure it with the screw.
