OPERATION
SORTING OF GARMENTS
qMachine to be used for machine washable fabrics only (Look for
wash symbols given on your garments.)
qWash woollens seperately only if label on garments permits it.
qNon-fast coloured should be washed with like colours only at lower
temperature.
qWash whites seperately from colours.
qNon - fast coloured to be washed at temperatures recommended by
manufacturer.
qCheck the pockets for any loose articles like coins,keys, keychains
etc. Remove these articles as these can damage the drum/tub.
qDo not mix clothes that give lint with clothes that attract lint (e.g lint
givers-woollens, socks, coarse cotton fabrics etc. Lint takers-
synthetic fibres and corduroys).
Cool down cycle
Hot water drained after Main wash cycle can be harmful for people and
environment .Hot water is cooled down by taking additional cold water
automatically, which also reduces concentration of detergent, thus
ensures better rinse quality and eco friendly environment.
Note:
IF THE LOAD OR MACHINE IS VERY MUCH UNBALANCED THE
MACHINE IN THE PROCESS OF BALANCING/DISTRIBUTING THE
LOAD MAY SUDDENLY STOP DURING SPINNING OR MAY SPIN AT
VERY LOW RPM IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF VIBRATION WHICH
MAY OCCUR UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCE.
IN CASE ELECTRICITY/ WATER SUPPLY GOES OFF, THE MACHINE
STOPS AND STARTS AGAIN FROM THE SAME POINT,
AUTOMATICALLY, ON RESUMPTION OF ELECTRICITY / WATER
SUPPLY.
Recommendations for a mixed load:
For washing a varied mix of clothes i.e. cottons, rayon, polyester, etc. if
there is:-
- A predominance of cotton clothes - use the cotton wash programme
- A predominance of polyester/synthetic clothes -use easy care
programme
qThe washing procedure remains the same.
LOADING THE MACHINE
qOpen the front porthole door, place
garments loosely inside drum. For best
results load garments one by one.
qA wash load should preferably be a mix
of large and small clothes.
qTurn knitted garments inside out,
Remove loose hooks, rings and pins
found on curtains etc. If pins/hooks
cannot be removed tie a knot around
them with the garment itself.
qClose door and press till you hear a
‘click’. Ensure that no cloth is jammed
between door and rubber gasket of
frame.
qFor large garments like bed covers and
curtains etc. open out the garments and
hold from the centre to load.
qEnsure that volume of load allows the clothes to tumble freely in the
drum for best wash results.
qOver loading the drum will affect wash quality. It can also damage
the machine and clothes in the long run.
qRunning the machine under loaded may cause excessive vibration,
noise and damage.
