ADVANTAGES OF TUMBLE WASH
qMOST EFFECTIVE CLEANING AS THE CLOTHES PASS THROUGH
SOAPY WATER AND ALSO FALL ON SOAP SOLUTION IMPROVING
WETTING OF CLOTHES.
qRESEMBLES THE THUMPING AND RUBBING ACTION OF GENTLE
HAND WASH.
qUSES LESS WATER COMPARED TO TUB TYPE TOP LOADERS.
qLESS WATER MEANS LESS DETERGENT AND ELECTRICITY
CONSUMPTION.
qWASHING IS EFFECTIVE BY DETERGENCY, SOAKING, HEATING,
TUMBLING AND SQUEEZING.
qGIVES BETTER DRYING EFFECT BY SPINNING.
ADVANTAGES OF TUMBLE WASH

AQUA ENERGIE
AQUA ENERGIE series machine deploys a specialized physical treatment
device to improve the quality of water. The effect is more visible in
hard waters areas.
The special device is a part of the water in take system.
It breaks the bi-carbonates in water into miscroscopic crystals and reduces
tendency of the crystals to stick to any surface.
This in turn makes the crystals flow with water and improves the power
of detergents solution. The reduced surface tension of the treated water
facilitates wetting of clothes and improves detergents action.
ADVANTAGES* OF AQUA ENERGIE.
Reduced scaling on components such as Heater & Tub.
Reduction in detergent consumption.
Reduction in detergent traces in washed clothes.
Improvement in wash quality.
*Depend on hardness of water supplied to the machine.

INSTALLATION
1. Make sure there is a 16 amp. 3-pin electrical point preferably with a 16 amp.
fuse, within 1 meter of the machine. Make sure it has proper earthing.
2. Fixed plumbing is recommended for
the machine. The water inlet of the
machine has a collar with3/4”parallel
internal threads. The water supply
point with an external 3/4” parallel
thread should be available within1
meter of the machine’s location.
4. Please inform our service centre for installation and demonstration of the
machine once the points mentioned above have been completed.
3. Two options on the water inlet and drain

3. Allow free flow of water from the outlet pipe.
1. Check that the electrical line can take the required
load.
2. Connect to a 220V, 50 Hz single phase AC supply.
3. Machine must be earthed properly before
operation. This can be done by using a 3 pin plug
and properly earthed socket of 16 ampere rating.

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 has been
chosen or heavily soiled clothes are being washed.
2. Main wash chamber: (Marked-II), requires detergent
for every wash programme.
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
ECO Button
qThis option is for enviromental friendly and
energy saving operation of washing.
qWith Eco button pressed, the mechanical
tumbling action during wash is considerably
increased in such a way that at lower
temperature and power consumption the same
quality of wash is achieved as that with high
temperature and less mechanical tumbling
action. Refer ‘Programme Selection chart’
qIn cotton Wash Programme the Eco button gives
more vigorous wash action when pressed and
gentle wash action when released.
qIn EASY CARE programme the Eco button gives
medium vigorous wash action when pressed
and gentle wash action when released.
qThis button is not effective in woollen
programme.

3.The Wool Programme : ( Woolen)
STAGE I : Wash
qThis programme starts directly with the main wash.
qThe programme has a built-in Gentle wash function.
qDetergent to be filled only in the main wash chamber marked II (extreme
left).
STAGE II : Rinse
qAfter washing, your clothes are rinsed three times.
qIf rinse hold button is pressed, the clothes will remain floating in the
water during last rinse till the button is pressed again in order to continue
the further programme.
qNo spin drying takes place.
qMachine stops after pumping at ‘PUMP’
qSwitch OFF the machine after the water is drained out.
Draining : PUMP
This programme is used to drain water out of the machine at any stage if
required.
qSwitch OFF the machine.
qRe-set the programme selector knob at point ‘PUMP’.
qSwitch ON the machine.
Exclusive spin drying programme:
qCan be used for spin drying hand
washed/wet clothes
qTurn the programme selector knob directly
to LONG SPIN / SHORT SPIN position after
loading the clothes .
qSelect the spin RPM according to the
material of the clothes.(eg.cotton-1100
max, synthetic - 700 max.)
qSwitch ON the machine.
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 ensure a thorough wetting of
the laundry. What’s more, the process requires less water and thus less
energy to heat it.
14

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:-
- Apredominance of cotton clothes - use the cotton wash programme
- A predominance of polyester/synthetic clothes -use easy care
programme
qThe washing procedure remains the same.

PROGRAMME SELECTION CHART
1. To select the right programme for your wash, a tabulated programme Chart is given on the Detergent Dispenser Drawer to indicate fabric type and wash temperature.
2. Additionally, you can refer to the detailed programme Chart given below 30 fully automatic wash programmes available with respect to fabric type, degree of

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).
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.
17

DETERGENT TO BE USED AND QUANTITY
qThe best results will be achieved using correct amount of washing
machine detergent.
qApproximate quantities to be used:
Full load i.e. 6 kgs Detergents to be used as per directions
