Usage Features

Installation:

Adjustable Feet: The machine has adjustable feet to ensure it is level, minimizing vibrations and noise.
Inlet Hose: Connects to a cold, fresh water tap. Only the supplied hose-set should be used.
Drain Hose: Must be securely fixed with a bracket, with the outlet height between 80-100 cm, to prevent continuous draining (self-siphoning).
Power Supply: Connect to an earthed socket outlet with adequate power (fuses rated no less than 15A) and correct voltage (220-240V~/50Hz).

Daily Use:

Laundry Preparation: Sort clothes by fabric type and color. Close zippers and hooks, place small items in a wash bag, unfold large items, and turn shirts inside out. Empty pockets to prevent damage.
Loading: Load laundry piece by piece, ensuring not to overload (leave six inches between load and drum top).
Detergent Selection: Use non-foaming detergent suitable for specific fabric types. Do not overuse detergent to avoid excessive foam, longer rinse times, and potential overflow.
Program Selection: Choose the appropriate program based on laundry type and soil level.
Temperature and Spin Speed: Select desired wash temperature and spin speed.
Washing Cycle: Press Start/Pause to begin. The machine stops automatically at the end of the cycle, displaying "End".
After Washing: Turn off water supply, unplug, and leave the door slightly open to prevent odors and moisture.

Safety Tips:

Ensure transport bolts are removed.
Use a separate earthed socket.
Keep the plug accessible and hold the plug, not the cable, when unplugging.
