■ If there is detergent or softener residue in the case:
◆ As fig. a(c) shows, pull the case and press down the limit rod; pull the whole drawer out;
◆ As fig. b(d) shows, open the case (pick it up slowly) and take out syphon plate(lift it up);
◆ Use tap water or brush to wash detergent case and syphon pipe;
◆ Restore case cover and syphon pipe, and push the drawer in.
■ A little detergent will flow into water box when drawing the case, this is normal.

Try not to repeatedly open and close the case of detergent loss;

■ Pay attention to the spillover of detergent that may cause inconvenience when adjusting (like tilting and moving, etc.) the machine (draw out the case before adjusting).

■ Recovery from freezing

The washing machine may freeze when it drops below 0°C.

1. Turn off the washing machine, and unplug the power cord.
2. Pour warm water over the water tap to loosen the water hose.
3. Disconnect the water hose, and soak it in warm water.
4. Pour warm water into the drum and leave it for about 10 minutes.
5. Reconnect the water hose to the water tap.

NOTE

1. When the washing machine is reused, make sure the ambient temperature is above 0^ C.
2. If your washing machine is located in the room where it can get frozen easily, please drain the remaining water inside drain hose and inlet hose thoroughly.
3. Please contact a technician if your washer is frozen.

Troubleshooting

TROUBLES	SOLUTIONS
There is some remaining water in the machine	This is normal and is the result of water tests performed at the factory.
The washer does not run	Check if the power plug is inserted well.Check if the tap is opened.Check if the button “Power” is pressed.Check if the button “Start/Pause” is pressed.Check if the delay feature is activated.
Water leakage	Check and fasten inlet hose.Clean up drain hose and ask a specialized person to repair it when necessary.
Abnormal noise and great vibration	Check if the transit bolts has been removed.Check if the adjustable legs are adjusted level.Check if the washer is installed on the solid and level floor.Check if there are any barrettes or metal articles inside.
Washing efficiency is not satisfied	Select a proper procedure.Add the proper detergent quantity according to the instructions in detergent package.
The machine does not answer after press buttons	Check if the “Child-lock” feature has been activate.Press button “Start/Pause” first then press other buttons.
Actual running time of procedures is not corresponded to the display time	Check if clothes in the drum is dispersive enough.Check if the water is drain out or inflow well.
The washer fills while draining	Check if the max height of the drain hose is lower than 65cm.Check if the drain hose is immersed.

Troubleshooting

DISPLAY		MEANS	SOLUTIONS
		The washer fills over time	Check if the tap is opened.Check if the water pressure is too low.Check if the inlet hose is blocked.
		Water drainage over time	Check if the drain pump is blocked.Contact a technician if necessary.
		Door lock is broken	Close the door well again.Check if the clothes is caught between the door and seal.Contact a technician if necessary.
		Water is overflowed	water automatically until the water level is suitable for wash procedure.Contact a technician if necessary.
		The electrical motor is broken	Please contact a technician.
		The heater does not work	Please contact a technician.
		There is a temperature sensor fault	Please contact a technician.
		Unmatched software/hardware on mainboard and frequency inverting plate	Please contact a technician.
		Communication failures	Please contact a technician.
		Inverter failures	Please contact a technician.
		The procedure running is not corresponded to the cycle that the knob points.	Turn the cycle selector to the cycle corresponded to the procedure working on.

Note:
Please refer to the actually purchased model for fault display here. Different models have different fault displays.

■ Electrical Warning

To avoid fire, electrical shock and other accidents, please remember the following reminding:

-Only the voltage indicated in power label can be used. If you are not clear of the voltage at home, please contact the local power bureau.

-When you are using the heating function, the maximum current through the washing machine will reach 10A. Therefore, please make sure the power supply units(current, voltage and cable) can meet the normal load requirements for the machine.

-Protect the power cord properly. Power cord shall be fixed well so that it will not trip and be damaged. Special attention shall be paid to the plug location.

-Do not make the wall-mounted socket overloaded or cable extended.

Over loading of the wiring may cause fire or electrical shock. Do not pull out power plug with wet hand.

-To ensure your safety, power plug shall be inserted into an earthed socket. Carefully check and ensure that your socket is properly and reliably earthed.

Appendix
