Power Failure Recovery
Button Response and Lights
When there is power failure while
machine is washing or rinsing or
spinning. The machine tries to save the
settings at which stage the machine is
doing and then when the power returns
back the machine will starts washing
from the stage where it is left off.
The washing machine can stop during the
spin stage of a wash or spin because of
an out of balance condition. Out of
balance during spin is caused by an
uneven distribution of clothes in the wash
bowl. If the washing machine detects this
problem, it will try to clear itself by
following the steps below:
The agitator & bowl rotates while it is filled
with water to immerse the clothes.
The agitator then rotate to move the
clothes so that the detergent can be
dissolved and activated at the selected
water temperature.
After the wash operation is completed,
the bowl is filled with more water. The
agitator then moves in an energy efficient
mode, generating additional mechanical
actions. If “Eco” rinse option selected, this
function will not operate.
This function will not operate in “Tub
Cleaning” and Drain + Spin” programs.
Stop spinning then starts filling to the
selected water level.
To rectify the out of balance condition,
open the lid and wait until the machine
stops spinning, then redistribute the
clothes evenly in the space between the
agitator and wall of the wash bowl. Close
the lid and press the “Start/Pause” button
to continue the spin stage

3.5
RINSE OPTION BUTTON
When Eco rinse is used, rinse water
is sprayed into the washbowl in
pulses. After each pulse the
washbowl will spin to remove
detergent laden water from the
clothes.
How does Eco Rinse work ?
There are four rinses to choose
from Extra, Deep, Eco and Hold.
Extra rinse, the machine fills
twice, giving you two deep
rinses.
Deep rinse, the machine fills
once, giving you one deep rinse.
Eco rinse, is a spray rinse giving
you maximum water saving.
Hold, by selecting this option the
water of the last rinse is not
emptied out and the drum turns
regularly to prevent the laundry
creases.
After cycle has finished, You
must drain the water from
the washing tub by pressing
“Start/Pause” button to
continue the cycle.
The machine will go through a series
of maximum six pulses spray and
short spin cycles in this manner,
depending on program selection,
followed by a final long spin that
removes the water from the clothes
to complete the full wash program.
Compare this with Deep rinse
where much more water is used.
Deep rinse, water enters the
machine filling up to the wash
water level selected. The washer
agitates and finally empties the
rinse water through the drain
hose.
Extra rinse, this is special option
for those people who suffer from
allergies, this extra rinse will
provide two deep rinses to ensure
all detergent residue has been
removed.
Eco Rinse CANNOT be selected
with Woollens and Bedding
program.
Select Deep rinse if you are going
to use fabric softener.
Extra and Eco rinse is not
designed to be used with fabric
softener.
Deep rinse ensures the fabric
softener is correctly dispensed
and thoroughly removed from
your clothes during rinsing.

SORT YOUR WASHING
INTO SEPARATE WASH
LOADS
Each load of washing should
contain clothing which needs the
same washing conditions. For
example, you should not wash
delicate clothes with very dirty
work clothes.
Colour fast and non-colourfast
fabrics should be separated.
Knowing the type of fabrics you
have and how dirty they are will
help when you make selections
from the wash program options.
Some fabrics are lint collectors
and can pick up lint, dirt and
colour from other fabrics which
are lint producers. Some
examples are listed below:
Lint collectors Lint producers
- Corduroy
- Synthetics
- Permanent
press fabrics
- Towels
- Nappies
- Chenille/
Candlewick
Make sure that you wash lint
collectors separately from lint
producers.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS4.
4.1
NOTE:
IMPORTANT!
However, due to the variables of fabric
types, soil levels, detergent types and
available program settings you may find
some combinations of these which do
not always result in the perfect wash.
If for example you see residuals of
detergent or soils on some items,
please read the section Residues on
washed items paragraph.
Over time you will learn what is the best
set-up of programs, detergent and load
sorting for different load types and soils.
These Washing Instructions are of a
general nature and you should get good
wash results by following them.
Rub particularly soiled areas with
a special detergent or detergent
paste.
Treat curtains with special care.
Never wash whites and coloureds
together. Whites may lose their
“whiteness” in the wash.
New coloured items may run in
the first wash; they should
therefore be washed separately
the first time.
Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers.
Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before
washing.
Make sure that no metal objects
are left in the laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins, pins).

14
If you use pre-treatment sprays or
stain removers, apply them to the
clothing well away from your
washing machine.
PRE-TREATMENT SPRAYS
AND STAIN REMOVERS
Pre-treatment sprays and stain
remover can damage plastic
components on your washing
machine.
4.2
DETERGENT
4.3
Wash bras, pantyhose and other
delicates in a mesh laundry bag,
which you can purchase from
your supermarket.
WARNING!
Don’t use the wrong type of detergent.
You must use a low sudsing detergent
designed for front load washing
machines or high efficiency top
loaders, such as Cold Power for Front
Loaders and High Efficiency Top
Loaders or detergents labelled “Matic”.
Don’t use soap-based products in
your washing machine.
Don’t use too much detergent. This
can result in excessive suds that can
cause low spin speeds, poor rinsing
and overloading the motor during spin
stages of the wash program.
Don’t use too little detergent because
you will get a poor wash. If you think
you need more, increase dosages by
only small amounts to avoid excessive
suds.
Quantity of detergent to be used
Good washing results also depend
on the choice of detergent and use
of the correct quantities to avoid
waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, deter-
gents contain substances which, in
large quantities, can upset the
delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will
depend on the type of fabric
(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.),
the colour, washing temperature
and degree of soiling.
The type and quantity of detergent will
depend on the type of fabric, load size,
degree of soiling and hardness of the
water used.
Information on hardness of the water in
your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or from
your local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’
instructions on quantities to use.
Not enough washing powder causes:
the washload to turn grey, greasy
clothes.
Too much washing powder causes:
sudsing, reduced washing effect,
inadequate rinsing.
Use less detergent if: you are washing
a small load, the laundry is lightly
soiled, large amounts of foam form
during washing.
Water hardness is classified in so-called
“degrees” of hardness.
Remove hooks or tie them up in
a bag or net.

15
LOAD THE WASHING
MACHINE
5.2
STARTING YOUR WASHING
MACHINE
5.1
When loading the clothes into your
washing machine, there are four
things to remember:
Clothes must be loaded evenly
around the agitator. For best
results load small items first,
followed by large items.
1.
1.
Clothes must not be wrapped
around the agitator.
2.
The washing machine must not
be overloaded. Clothes must be
able to move during wash.
3.
The load should contain only
three or four large items, for
example sheets. The rest of the
load should be small items. A
mixed load of large and small
items will wash cleaner than a
load of all large items.
4.
DAILY USE5.
Connect the mains plug to the
mains socket.
2.
Turn the water tap on.
ADD THE DETERGENT
5.3
1. Measure the correct amount of
powder or liquid detergent by
following the recommendations
on the package.
2. Mix detergent in one litre of hot
or warm water.
3. Add the pre-mixed detergent to
the wash load.
move around
agitator
Don’t do these things:
Using too little detergent will
give you a poor wash result.
Use soap based products in
your washing machine.
Using excessive detergent will
create too much suds and may
cause overloading of the motor
during the spin stage of the
wash cycle. To avoid excessive
suds, reduce the amount of
detergent you use. It is best to
use detergent labelled low
sudsing. Good quality, front
load detergent will perform well
in this machine.

16
ADD FABRIC SOFTENER
5.4
Mix softener with an equal
amount of warm water but only
mix enough to fill to the line
marked inside the cup. The
softener cup holds 75ml.
2.
Pour the mixed softener into the
cup in the top of the agitator.
Do not overfill the cup.
3.
Do not spill fabric softener
on the clothes as it may
stain them.
If you are going to use fabric
softener, you must select the
DEEP RINSE option, ie deselect
the ECO RINSEoption.
NOTE: You do not have to use
fabric softener, your washing
machine will wash the clothes
perfectly well without it.
4.
Measure the correct amount of
fabric softener by following the
recommendations on the
package.
1.
ADDING BLEACH
5.5
Press the Start/Pause button to
commence water fill.
2.
Pour the bleach solution down
the hole in the top panel during
fill when there is some water in
the wash bowl.
3.
Turn Program Selector to a
Regular Wash position.
1.
Bleaching of clothes can help to
remove stains, heavy soiling and to
kill bacteria.
This is generally a powder type
bleach. Mix the required quantity
with water and pour down the
bleach hole in the top panel during
the fill when there is some water in
the washbowl.
This type of bleach should not be
mixed with detergent. Mix the
bleach with water as per the
instructions on the container.
