The Dawlance DW 9100 C is a single-tub washing machine designed for household use, offering a straightforward and efficient approach to laundry. Its primary function is to wash and rinse clothes, with a focus on simplicity and ease of operation.
The core function of the DW 9100 C is to provide a washing and rinsing cycle for various types of laundry. Users can connect a hose from a water faucet to the water inlet to fill the tub. The wash timer knob allows for setting the desired washing or rinsing time, with a maximum operating time of one hour for washing. A buzzer rings automatically before the completion of the wash timer cycle, alerting the user. The machine is designed to handle different levels of soiling and fabric types, from heavily soiled heavy fabrics to delicate wool and synthetic fibers, by adjusting the wash time accordingly. After the washing cycle, the wash drain selector can be set to "Drain" to remove the water from the tub, allowing users to manually take out the laundry.
Operating the Dawlance DW 9100 C is designed to be user-friendly. Before starting, users are advised to install the washing machine on a sturdy, flat surface, avoiding steamy rooms, direct sunlight, or heating devices, and ensuring the temperature remains above 0°C (32°F) to prevent damage. Electrical connection requires plugging the unit into an adequate power supply as indicated on the rating label, with a properly earthed 3-pin plug.
Preparation for washing involves sorting clothes into groups based on colorfastness, lint production, and fabric type, and mending any worn or torn patches. Pockets should be emptied, and fasteners closed. Pre-treating bad stains is also recommended. Once prepared, the power cord is plugged in and switched on.
The washing process begins by setting the wash timer knob to "0" and selecting the desired wash action. The tub is then filled with water to the indicated level, followed by adding detergent and laundry. Finally, the wash time is set using the wash timer knob.
For rinsing, users select the desired wash action and turn on the water tap. The rinsing continues until the water becomes clear, at which point the tap is turned off. The machine's design encourages manual oversight during the rinsing process to ensure thorough cleaning.
The user manual provides a "Laundry Guide" with a "Washing Time & Wash Action Table" to assist in selecting appropriate wash times for different fabric types and soil levels. For instance, extremely soiled heavy fabrics may require 10-15 minutes, while lightly soiled synthetic fibers or delicate wool may only need 2-5 minutes.
Safety precautions are also highlighted, such as avoiding excessive amounts of bleach or detergent, ensuring the machine is completely drained after use in areas subject to freezing, and placing delicate clothes in a mesh bag to prevent damage. Users are also advised not to wash lint-attracting fabrics with lint producers and to avoid placing a wet load on the control panel. The machine should not be moved in left or right directions as its wheels are undirectional.
Troubleshooting tips are included for common issues. If the washer does not start, users are advised to check if the plug is tightly pushed into the wall outlet, if the electrical line is overloaded, or if the wash timer is set. For rattling or clanking noises, checking for foreign objects in the tub or ensuring belt buckles and metal fasteners are not hitting the tub during the cycle is recommended. Vibrating noise can be addressed by re-leveling the washer, redistributing clothes, or ensuring the machine is on a solid floor. Thumping sounds during heavy wash loads are considered normal but if persistent, redistributing clothes is suggested.
Regular maintenance is crucial for extending the life of the Dawlance DW 9100 C. After every washing cycle, users should switch off the electricity, ensure the timer knob has returned to "0" position, and wipe off any spillage (detergent powder, etc.) and generally clean the tub and base with a dry duster. It is important to disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
The machine includes a lint filter, which requires periodic cleaning. To clean the lint filter, users pull the overflow filter forward, wash off any lint stuck on it, and then re-fix it by inserting the bottom section first and pushing the upper part firmly into the socket. If any residue or deposits accumulate in the net during washing, the filter should be removed by pushing down and pulling it out after washing.
Cleaning dirt underneath the pulsator and on the drain strainer is also a recommended maintenance task, to be performed every four to six washes or as needed. This involves filling the wash tub up to three-quarters with clean lukewarm water, setting the wash action to "STRONG" position, operating the washer for 10 minutes, and then draining out the water. This procedure helps remove accumulated dirt, lint, etc.
The manual also emphasizes that the appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless supervised. Children should also be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
Finally, the product should not be disposed of with other household waste. Users are encouraged to recycle it responsibly to promote sustainable reuse of material resources, either by using the return and collection system or by contacting the retailer where the product was purchased for environmentally safe disposal.
