as illustrated below.
CAUTION:
•While the washer is in use, ensure the height of the drain hose is at least 70cm,
otherwise the washer will not work properly or the water may flow out in the course
of washing. Ensure the drain hose is not higher than 1m above ground, otherwise
the washer will not drain water well.
•Never lay down the drain hose, as water will be discharged.
•Be sure the drain hose is properly routed so it will not kink or lift off the sink.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed
•In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of an
electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.
•This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-earthing conductor
and an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
installed and earthed in accordance with all local standards and requirements.
•Do not modify the plug under any circumstances. If the plug does not fit your
outlet, consult a licensed electrician and have the outlet changed.

programs have cold water as a default (water temperature is adjustable).
*** Times and quantities depend on the wash load and water level.

Detergent and load recommendations
•We suggest you use detergent in the following amounts recommended below. Too
little will give poor washing results, but too much will affect rinse performance and
may cause overflow of suds, which could interfere with machine operation.
CAUTION: Do not overfill detergent.
•Add detergent into the detergent box or put it directly into the tub.
•If you are using liquid detergent or bleach, dilute it appropriately and pour it
carefully into the hole on the top plate.
CAUTION: Do not pour bleach directly onto the washing load in the tub.

Customising a program
This washing machine is equipped with a fuzzy logic function that automatically chooses
certain wash cycle processes for the NORMAL and HEAVY-DUTY programs. You do not
have to adjust anything, however, if you want to adjust these values yourself, proceed as
follows:
1. Prepare your washing according to points 1 to 4 as mentioned in Normal Usage.
2. Press the Power ON/OFF button, then press the Program button to select the
washing program, e.g. NORMAL or HEAVY-DUTY.
3. Press the Process button to select the process and time you want to adjust. The
relevant indicator light will illuminate when the option is selected. Then press the
Set button and set the option.
4. Press the Water Levelbutton and choose an appropriate water level.
5. Close the lid and press the Start/Pause button for the washing program to start.
6. At the end of the washing program, a buzzer will sound to alert you that the
program has finished before the power is shut off automatically.
7. Close the water taps and unplug the power plug from the wall outlet.
Note:
If you want to use a customised program on a regular basis, you can program it
to the machine’s memory for easy access the next time you want to use the
same program. See ‘Memory function’, for instructions.

Blanket program
Use this program for washing blankets or other bulky items. It will automatically select the
highest water level (60L), but you can adjust this manually down to 42L according to the size
of your bulky item(s).
1. Press the Power ON/OFF button and open the washer lid.
2. Press the Program button repeatedly until the indicator for the BLANKET program
flashes.
3. Dissolve an appropriate amount of washing detergent with a little lukewarm water,
then pour the detergent solution directly into the tub of the washing machine.
4. Fold up the blanket and put it into the washing tub, as illustrated below.
5. Close the washer lid.
6. Press the Start/Pause button for the washing program to start.
7. At the end of the washing program, a buzzer will sound to alert you that the
program has finished before the power is shut off automatically.
8. Close the water taps and unplug the power plug from the wall outlet.
9. We recommend cleaning the lint filter after washing a blanket.
Selecting a wash cycle process
On occasion you may want to select a single wash cycle process (or two processes) instead
of a complete program. For example, you may want to spin clothes that got wet from rain
while hanging on the line or rinse and spin clothes washed by hand.
•To set a spin cycle only, set the SOAK, WASH and RINSE options to “0” and then
select a SPIN time (from 0-9 minutes). Then proceed as described opposite.
•To set a rinse and spin cycle, set the SOAK and WASH time to “0”, then select a
RINSE option (from 1 to 4) and then the SPIN time (from 0-9 minutes). Then
proceed as described opposite.

press the Start/Pause button again to continue washing.

Preset timer (delayed washing)
This washing machine has a 0-24 hour preset function, which you can set to determine the
time when the washing program will finish. (It is, in effect, similar to a ‘delayed start’ function,
but you set the time period after which you want the wash to finish rather than to start.)
1. Put your washing in the machine, loading items uniformly in the tub.
2. Press the Power ON/OFF button.
3. Select the required Program.
4. Press the Process button until the PRESET indicator light flashes, then press the
Set button to select the desired time period (in hours) for the wash to finish.
5. Select the water level, if necessary.
6. Add any detergents.
7. Close the washer lid and press the Start/Pause button.
8. After setting the preset, the corresponding light will illuminate and all other lights
will be switched off about one minute later. From this time on until the preset time
only the Power ON/OFF and Set buttons will respond when pressed.
9. To check the preset program, press any button (except for the Power ON/OFF
button); the program will be indicated for 5 seconds. During these 5 seconds you
can press the Water Level button and set the water level.
10. To cancel the preset, shut off the power.
11. To change the preset time, first cancel the preset, then set it again.
Note:
This function is not available for the COTTON, DELICATE and QUICK programs.
To avoid water leakage when using this function, ensure the water taps are open,
the drain hose is properly installed and the washing load and detergent are properly
prepared.

Adding detergent to a preset wash
When using the delayed wash, do not add detergent directly to the wash tub.
•Powder detergent: either put powder detergent into the detergent box or, if you
prefer to put it directly into the wash tub, wrap the powder in a small cloth.
•Liquid detergent and bleach: pour liquid detergent or bleach into the hole on the
top plate. Do not pour it directly into the tub as it may cause discolouration of your
washing.
•Close the lid and press the Start/Pause button.
Load sensor (fuzzy control)
For the NORMAL and HEAVY-DUTY programs, the machine automatically detects the
weight of your wash load and selects the appropriate water level, wash and spin time and
rinse type. For the QUICK program, the machine will automatically choose the water level.
You do not have to set these values; however, if you want to adjust them yourself, see
“Preset Timer” for how to customise processes.
Hot / cold / warm water wash
This top load washing machine must be connected to both a cold and a hot water tap. You
can then set it to use either just cold water for a cold-water wash or just hot water for a hot
water wash or both hot and cold water for a warm water wash.
To select the wash temperature, press the Temperature button.
