Environmental Protection/ Conservation Issues
Your washing machine uses water, energy and detergent efficiently,
thereby protecting the environment and reducing your household costs.
Using your washing machine in an efficient and environmentally
friendly manner:
Do not exceed recommended load.
Cottons 5.0kg
Easy-care 2.5kg
Delicates and Woollens 1.5kg
Avoid using the Prewash program [ if applicable ] when washing lightly to
normally soiled laundry.
Add detergent according to the degree of soiling, amount of laundry and
water hardness, and observe the dertergent manufacturer ’s
instructions.
Before Using Your Washing Machine For The First
Time
Caution
The washing machine must have been installed and connected properly
(refer page 7)
Your appliance was tested before leaving the factory. To remove any
water left over from testing procedures, the first washing cycle should
be carried out without laundry in the machine.
Do not load any laundry.
1. Turn on water tap.
2. Pull out the detergent dispenser up to the end stop.
3. Pour approx. 1 litre of water into chamber II of the detergent
dispenser.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS
29

AUTOMATIC DETERGENT DISPENSER TRAY
Designed for automatic dispensing of
detergent & additives as required, which
avoids manual filling at each stage.
The Detergent Dispenser Tray should be filled (
with detergent and additives) before the start
of a programme The tray has three chambers.
1. Pre-wash chamber: (Marked-I),to be filled with
detergent in case a pre-wash programme ( A
or G ) has been chosen or heavily soiled
clothes are being washed.
2. Main wash chamber: (Marked-II), requires
detergent for every wash programme. (B/C/D
or H/K or N)
3. Fabric conditioner additives chamber:
(Marked ), to be used for additives only. It
should be filled as per instructions under
‘OPERATION’.
The detergent tray must be pulled out, filled as
required and shut before the machine is
switched on.
SELECTOR BUTTONS

DRUM
Rust Stains
Never leave metal items e.g. paper clips, safety
pins etc. in the drum as it creates superficial rust
marks in drum. If there are any rust stains remove
with a non-chlorine agent. Special non-metal
sponges (never use steel wool ) may also be used.
SIEVES
Cleaning of Water Connection Sieves, filter
1. Turn off Taps. Disconnect Power supply to the
machine. Unscrew inlet hose from machine as
well as from the tap and drain out water from the
hose.
2. Pull the sieve out the magnetic valve with a pair of
flat nosed pliers and clean under running water
with a brush.
3. Fit Sieve back to the valve.
4. Remove the filter mesh from the tap end of the
inlet hose and clean under running water with a
brush.
5. Fit the filter mesh back to inlet hose.
6. Screw inlet hose back to the machine and the tap.
Ensure that both the sieves and Filter are in place.
7. Turn on the tap.
Cleaning of Porthole Door Area:
qAfter every wash clean vapour off porthole door.
qLift the fold in the rubber gasket under porthole
periodically to remove lint and dirt preferably
after every wash.
FROST PROTECTION
If the machine is being operated in very cold temperature, all the
water should be drained out after use.
qRemove Fluff Filter
qLocate the drain hose and drain the water.
qDisconnect inlet hose from the tap and drain.
DRAINING DURING EMERGENCIES
In case of a long power failure during a programme run, the
water can be drained from the drum through the drain hose
qAllow the water in the machine to cool down sufficiently.
qLocate the drain hose and pull out the drain hose to drain water
in a large shallow container.
qBefore restarting machine, ensure that drain plug is fixed on
drain hose properly and fluff filter water line is filled with water by
running the machine without any clothes or detergents.
qSpillage of water can rust the base plate. Draining through drain
hose prevents rusting.

stains are categorised as absorbed stains, built-up stains, and
compound stains.

containing a suitable solvent over the stain from outer edge
towards centre by keeping stained cloth on absorbent fabric.
qBuilt up and compound stains may be removed by first carefully
brushing off stained area. Then rub gently with a pad containing
solvent from the back of fabric.
qIt is advisable to try out the solvent on hidden part of the garment to
verify its effect on cloth.

FABRIC CONDITIONER
qFill in the middle chamber of detergent dispenser tray marked
qConditioner should be in liquid/solution form only (powders to
be mixed in water.)
qFabric softner gives a soft feel and smooth surface to fabrics.
qEnzymes help to remove stains of sweat, blood etc.
qEnzymes , Bleaches and whiteness should not be used on
wool.
qWhitener gives ‘Whiteness to Whites clothes brightness to
coloured clothes.
qChlorine bleach is used for white clothes and oxygen bleach is
used for coloured clothes.
qA strong bleaching agent is not recommended for direct use in
the washing machine.
qExtremely dirty areas in clothes can be preteated with bleach and
then be loaded in the machine for a regular wash.
The best washing results will be achieved by using the correct
dosage of detergent .
Use the detergent as per the instructions on the detergent
packaging, However the dosage need to be adjusted during
usage to avoid effects of inadequate/excess detergent as
mentioned below.
Use liquid detergent dispenser tray ( Optional ) while using liquid
detergent. It is not to be used for powder detergent.
Pour the liquid detergent into the detergent dispenser tray and
place the tray in the main wash chamber (Marked - II) of the
detergent dispenser tray before the start of the program.
The quantity of detergent will depend on
a.Quantity of clothes being washed
b.Degree of soilage of clothes
c. Water hardness
Hard water and heavily soiled clothes require more, while less soiled
clothes requires less then recommended quantity of detergents.
Do not use dry cleaning agents.
Frequent use of insufficient detergent will be noticeable as follows:
a. Washing appears grey or not properly clean
b. Grey/brown stains appear on the clothes
Excess use of detergent will result in
a. Higher environmental pollution
b. Generation of too much foam
c. Building up of scales
d. Poor rinse quality
e. Less drying efficiency
f. Reduction in life of the Components.

A Unique shower system
Scoops on the inner drum pick up water and
shower through perforated fins on the laundry as
the drum rotate. This ensures a thorough soaking
of the laundry, What’s more, the process requires
less water and thus less energy to heat it.
Exclusive spin drying programmes : F and L
Can be used for spin drying hand washed / wet clothes.
qTurn programme selector knob directly to any of the spin
drying points (i.e. just beyond F or L) after loading the
clothes.
qSwitch ON the machine.
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 circumstances.
