Usage Features
The washing machine is designed for user-friendly operation with a clear control panel.
- Loading Laundry: Laundry should be placed loosely in the drum, and the loading door must be securely closed until a locking sound is heard. The door remains locked during operation and can only be opened a few minutes after the cycle ends.
- Detergent and Softener Usage: The detergent drawer has three compartments for prewash, main wash, and softener. Users are advised to follow detergent manufacturers' instructions and avoid exceeding recommended dosages to prevent excessive foam and poor rinsing. Liquid detergents should be used in the main wash compartment, and care should be taken with delayed start functions as liquid detergents can stain clothes.
- Program Selection: Programs are selected via a knob, with recommended temperatures and spin speeds displayed. Users can adjust these settings and select auxiliary functions before starting a wash.
- Changing Settings During Program: Auxiliary functions, temperature, and spin speed can be adjusted during a running program, provided the program stage allows it. If changes are not allowed, an indicator light will flash.
- Cancelling a Program: A program can be cancelled by turning the machine off and on again. If the water level is too high to open the door, the Pump+Spin program can be used to drain the water.
- End of Program: The "Complete" light indicates the program's end. The machine automatically switches to energy-saving mode after 10 minutes of inactivity.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for extending the product's service life and preventing common issues.
- Detergent Drawer Cleaning: The detergent drawer should be cleaned every 4-5 washes to prevent powder detergent accumulation. The siphon piece in the softener compartment also needs regular cleaning.
- Loading Door and Drum Cleaning: After each wash, check the drum for foreign substances. Rust stains can be cleaned with stainless steel cleaning agents. The drum cleaning program should be run every 1-2 months, preferably with a lime-scale remover, and the loading door left ajar to dry the interior.
- Body and Control Panel Cleaning: The machine's body should be wiped with soapy water or mild gel detergents, and the control panel with a soft, damp cloth.
- Water Intake Filter Cleaning: Filters at the end of the water intake valves and hoses should be cleaned when dirty to prevent foreign substances from entering the machine.
- Pump Filter Cleaning and Water Drainage: The pump filter should be cleaned every 3 months or when clogged. Before cleaning, the machine must be unplugged, and the water inside should be allowed to cool down. Water can be drained by loosening the pump filter into a large vessel. The filter and surrounding impeller area should be cleaned of any residues or fibers. This procedure is also necessary before transporting the machine or in freezing conditions.
