WARNING  
Installation Location  
This appliance must only be used for domestic  
household purposes and should not be used in  
mobile applications.  
This appliance must be installed on firm flooring  
to minimize vibration during the spin cycle.  
Concrete flooring is best, being far less prone to  
vibration during the spin cycle than wooden  
floorboards or a carpeted surface.  
NOTE  
If it is impossible to avoid positioning the  
appliance next to a gas cooker or coal burning  
stove, an insulation (850 X 600 mm) covered with  
aluminum foil on the side facing the cooker or  
stove must be inserted between the two  
appliances.

use rubber cups to reduce excessive vibration and  
unbalance. Timber or suspended type flooring may  
contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance,  
errors and malfunction.  
When installing the appliance, adjust all four feet  
using the transit bolt spanner provided to  
ensure the appliance is stable.  
Floor Installation  
To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet hoses,  
drain hose and airflow, allow minimum clearances  
of at least 20 mm at the sides and 100 mm behind  
the appliance. Be sure to allow for wall, door, or  
floor moldings that may increase the required  
clearances.  
B
To reduce vibration, we recommend placing at  
least 15 mm thickness of rubber cups under  
a
each adjusting foot of the appliance, secured to  
at least two floor beams with screws.  
If possible, install the appliance in one of the  
corners of the room, where the floor is more  
stable.

OPERATION  
Preparing the Wash Load  
Sort the wash load for best washing results, and  
then prepare the clothes according to the symbols  
on their care labels.  
NOTE  
The dashes under the symbol give you  
information about the type of fabric and the  
maximum allowance of mechanical stress.  
Sorting the Clothes  
For best washing results, sort your clothes  
according to the care label stating fabric type  
and washing temperature. Adjust the spin speed  
or spin intensity in accordance with the fabric  
type.  
Checking the Clothes before  
Loading  
To help distribute the load evenly during  
spinning, combine large and small items in a  
load.  
Soil level (Heavy, Normal, Light): Separate  
clothes according to soil level. If possible, do not  
wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled  
ones.  
Do not wash single small items. Add 1-2 similar  
items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance  
load.  
Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Wash dark or dyed  
clothes separately from whites or light colours.  
Mixing dyed clothes with light clothes can result  
in dye transfer or discolouration of lighter  
clothes.  
Check all pockets to make sure that they are  
empty. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches,  
pens, coins and keys can damage both your  
appliance and clothes.  
Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash separately  
lint producing fabrics from lint collecting fabrics.  
Lint producers can result in pilling and linting on  
the lint collectors.  
Checking the Clothes Care Label  
The symbols tell you about the fabric content of  
your garment and how it should be washed.  
Wash delicates (stockings, underwired bras) in a  
wash net.

detergents that are suitable for Drum (front  
load) type washers.  
Minimum load: 1/3 of full load.  
If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent  
amount.  
Using the Dispenser  
To add detergent dosage to the dispenser:  
If too much detergent is used, too many suds  
can occur and this will result in poor washing  
results or cause heavy load to the motor.  
If you wish to use liquid detergent, follow the  
guidelines provided by the detergent  
manufacturer.

2
Open the dispenser drawer.  
Add the detergent and softener into the  
appropriate compartments.  
You can pour liquid detergent directly into the  
main detergent drawer if you are starting the  
wash cycle immediately.  
Do not use liquid detergent if you are using the  
Delay End function, or if you have selected Pre  
Wash option, as the liquid will dispense  
immediately and may harden in the drawer or  
the tub.  
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for  
water temperature, water hardness, size and soil  
level of the load. For best results, avoid  
overdosing the detergent. Failing to do so will  
cause oversudsing.

Refer to the label of the clothes, before adding  
the detergent and choosing the water  
temperature.  
Use only suitable detergents for the respective  
type of clothing:  
-
Liquid detergent is often designed for special  
applications, e.g. for coloured fabric, wool,  
delicate or dark clothes.

Gently close the detergent dispenser drawer  
before starting the cycle.  
Slamming the drawer closed may result in  
the detergent overflowing into another  
compartment or dispensing into the drum  
earlier than programmed.  
-
-
Powdered detergent is suitable for all types of  
fabric.  
For better washing results of white and pale  
garments, use powdered detergent with  
bleach.  
Be careful not to get a hand caught in the  
drawer while closing.  
-
Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the  
beginning of the wash cycle.  
It is normal for a small amount of water to  
remain in the dispenser compartments at  
the end of the cycle.

maximum fill line can cause it to dispense too  
early, which may stain the clothes.  
Adding Water Softener  
A water softener, such as anti-limescale can be  
used to cut down on the use of detergent in areas  
with high water hardness level.  
First add detergent, and then the water softener.  
Dispense according to the amount specified on  
the packaging.  
NOTE  
Do not pour fabric softener directly onto the  
clothes in the wash drum, doing so will cause  
dark staining on the clothes that will be difficult  
to remove.  
Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent  
drawer for more than 1 day. Fabric softener may  
harden. Softener may remain in the dispenser if  
it is too thick. The softener should be diluted if  
the consistency is too thick so that it can flow  
easily.  
Do not open the drawer when water is being  
supplied during the wash.  
Solvents (benzene, etc.) must never be used.  
Adding Detergent Tablets  
Detergent tablets can also be used when washing.  
1
Open the door and put detergent tablets into  
the drum before loading the clothes.  
2
Load the clothes into the drum and close the  
door.  
NOTE  
Do not put tablets into the dispenser.
