Frequently Asked Questions - SC-1000AU10FLIN Seiki

How do I install the washing machine?

Ensure the machine is on a level surface. Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with a 3/4 inch thread, and the drain hose to a standpipe or sink. Plug into a grounded outlet. Remove the transit bolts before first use.

What should I do if the machine does not start?

Check if the door is properly closed, the water supply is turned on, and the machine is plugged in. Make sure the program dial is set correctly and the start button is pressed.

How to clean the detergent drawer?

Remove the drawer by pressing the release lever. Wash it under warm running water using a brush. Ensure the compartment for fabric softener is also cleaned. Wipe dry before reinserting.

Why is the machine not draining?

Check if the drain hose is kinked or clogged. Clean the pump filter located at the bottom front of the machine. Also ensure the drain hose height is not too high.

What does the error code E1 mean?

Error E1 indicates a water supply issue. Make sure the tap is fully open and the inlet hose is not blocked. If the problem persists, contact customer support.

Can I wash a duvet in this machine?

Yes, if the duvet is machine-washable and does not exceed the recommended load capacity (7 kg). Use the delicate or wool program to protect the filling.

How often should I clean the pump filter?

Clean the pump filter every 1-2 months to prevent drainage issues. Also clean it after washing items that may leave lint or debris.

What is the best cycle for heavily soiled clothes?

Use the Cotton program at 60°C or 90°C. For extra stain removal, pre-treat stains or add a pre-wash phase if available.

Is it normal for the machine to shake?

Some vibration during spin cycle is normal, but excessive shaking may be due to uneven load distribution or transit bolts not removed. Ensure the machine is level and load is balanced.

How do I activate the child lock?

Press and hold the 'Child Lock' button for 3 seconds until the indicator lights up. Repeat to deactivate. When activated, all buttons except power are locked.

In this case, redistributed the load manually and reselect the spin programme.
