Accessories

Make sure that you have received all of the items shown below.

Accessories	Name	Qty.	Accessories	Name	Qty.
	Inlet hose	1		“U” piece	1
	Transit bolts caps	4		Manual	1
	Hot water Inlet hose (For TE/TK series)	1

Removing transit bolts

• Remove all the transit bolts at the back of the machine with tools.
• Plug the holes with the transit bolts caps supplied.

Note

Strong vibration, noise or failures may occur if the transit bolts are not removed.

- Keep the transit bolts for future transportation. Whenever the machine is transported, the transit bolts must be refitted.

Place requirement

• A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for a washing machine, 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. The distance between the machine and wall must be more than 10 cm.
• To avoid vibrations during spinning, the machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings.

Level adjustment

The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect installation may increase electricity and water consumption and may cause the machine to move about.

To do these when the machine is not level:

- Using the spanner turn locknut in a clockwise direction. Then turn locknuts together with adjust feet to unscrew.

- Use a spirit level to check the machine is standing level.

- Hold adjust feet securely with a pipe wrench. Turn locknut again using the spanner until it sits firmly up against the housing.

Note

Vibration and noise may occur if the locknuts do not sit firmly up against the houses.

Drain hose connection

1. Direct into a sink

If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink entering the washing machine.

If required, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 4 m.

Connected securely to a standpipe.

2. To connect to a standpipe

Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the "U" piece supplied.

Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.

When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the standpipe is no more than 90cm and no less than 60cm above floor level.

Water inlet connection

Connect the inlet hose supplied with the machine to a tap with a 3/4" thread.

Do not use previously employed hoses.

Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations requirements.

Diagram 3

Put clothes into the washer

Unfold the laundry and load loosely in the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning. The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency.

Make sure that no garments are in between the door and the seal.

Washing programme chart

Programme	Washing symbol	Fabric
Cotton		Cottons, linens or cotton mix fabrics, e.g. table linen, towelling, underwear, T-shirts etc.
Quick		Small loads of items which require freshening up and which can be washed in a Cotton programme.
Rinse+Spin		This programme can be used for rinsing items which can be washed in a Cotton programme. Do not add any detergent.
Spin		Separate spin for cotton and linen items
Intensive		Cottons, linens or cotton mix fabrics, e.g. table linen, towelling, underwear, T-shirts etc.
Synthetic		Synthetic or mixed fabrics, underwear, coloured garments, non-shrink shirts.
Wool		Machine-washable or hand-washable wool or wool blend fabrics. If the care label does not specify a temperature, wash using the cold setting. Also suitable for hand-washable silks. Reduce the spin speed.

The machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin. To protect the machine, it will cut in if the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 15 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistributed the load manually and reselect the spin programme.

Door lock

• When the machine is started, the door lock is locked though you press the "Start/Pause" button. Turn the knob to the position "O", and the door lock is unlocked in two minutes.
• When the temperature inside the drum is above 53°C, the door lock is locked.
• When the water is above a certain level, the door lock is locked.
• When the washing cycle is finished, the door lock is unlocked in two minutes.

Important:

Do not try to open the door when the washing cycle is not finished or power supply is cut off during the washing cycle, because the temperature may be high and you may be scalded.
