Maintenance Features:
The manual provides detailed instructions for maintaining the washing machine to ensure longevity and optimal performance.
- Cleaning the Detergent Drawer: Regular cleaning of the detergent distribution drawer is recommended by flushing it with water (page 16).
- Cleaning the Machine: The machine case and rubber components should be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with soap liquid. Organic chemicals or corrosive solvents should be avoided (page 16).
- Cleaning the Filter: The filter should be cleaned monthly. This involves removing the bottom cover, draining excess water via the drain hose, unscrewing the filter counter-clockwise, flushing it with running water, and then reassembling it (page 16). Users are warned to place a container under the filter to collect water and ensure the filter is properly in place to prevent leakage.
- Water Inlet Valve and Inlet Valve Filter: Regular cleaning of these components is advised to prevent blockages from foreign substances (page 17).
- Long Periods of Disuse: If the machine is to be idle for an extended period, users should unplug it, turn off the water supply, and leave the washer door open to prevent moisture and odor buildup (page 17).
- Moving the Machine: Before moving the machine, the transportation bolts (removed during initial installation) should be reinstalled to prevent damage (page 17).
- Troubleshooting Guide: A comprehensive troubleshooting table (page 19) lists common problems, their causes, and corresponding solutions, empowering users to resolve minor issues independently before contacting service.
Safety Instructions:
The manual emphasizes several safety instructions (page 5) to be followed strictly:
- Ensure transport bolts are removed before first use.
- Use a separate earthed socket for power supply.
- Do not touch or use the appliance with wet hands or feet.
- Avoid using flammable detergents or dry cleaning agents.
- Do not allow children or infirm persons to play with the appliance.
