Important Technical Specifications:
While a detailed specifications table is provided on page 16, key parameters include:
- Wash Timer: Models offer wash times ranging from 1 to 40 minutes, with some supporting a "Soak" function for enhanced cleaning. The soak option typically involves a cycle of 1.5 minutes of operation followed by 5 minutes of rest, repeating for the selected soak time.
- Spin Timer: Spin times vary from 1 to 10 minutes, depending on the model and fabric type.
- Water Level: The machine supports different water levels (L, M, H) for various laundry loads, with capacities ranging from 50 Ltr. to 84 Ltr.
- Water Pressure: The machine is designed to operate with water pressure less than 100kPa (1kgf/cm²).
- Dimensions (WxDxH): Dimensions vary by model, with examples including 795 x 470 x 975 mm, 805 x 478 x 975 mm, and 880 x 530 x 1025 mm.
- Net Weight: Net weights range from 24 kg to 35 kg.
- Filter Types: Models may include Lint Filters or Magic Filters, with some featuring Rotation Filter-C.
- Buzzer: Some models are equipped with a buzzer function.
- Power Source: The manual indicates a general power source, but specific voltage and frequency details are typically found on the product label.
- Earth Wire: The machine requires proper grounding, especially for models with a two-pronged plug, to prevent electric shock.
Usage Features:
- Preparation Before Washing: Users are instructed to check clothing labels, empty pockets, and separate oiled or dyed laundry. The drain hose must be positioned correctly, slightly lower than the machine's lowest part, to ensure proper drainage.
- Water Supply: The machine connects to a water tap via an inlet hose. A water selector allows directing water to either the wash tub or for spin shower rinse.
- Detergent Usage: The manual provides guidance on the appropriate amount of detergent based on laundry weight and water level, with specific tables for reference. Some models include a detergent box.
- Wash Selector: Users can choose between "Gentle," "Normal," and "Strong" wash settings based on the type and quantity of laundry. This feature is not available on all models (e.g., P7251N1F, P7254N1F, P7258N1F).
- Drain Selector: A drain selector allows users to switch between "Wash-Rinse" and "Drain" positions to manage water in the tub.
- Rinsing Methods:
- Continuous Water Supply Rinse: This method involves continuously feeding water into the wash tub while the machine is rinsing.
- Interim Spin Rinse: Before regular rinsing, a brief spin cycle helps remove sudsy water, improving rinsing efficiency.
- Spinning: Clothes should be evenly distributed in the spin dryer basket, pressed down lightly, and covered with the safety cover before spinning. The spin timer is set according to the fabric type, with woollens recommended for only 1 minute of spinning for protection.
- Safety Measures: The manual emphasizes several safety precautions, including keeping the machine on a level surface, proper grounding, avoiding water on the switch area, not using volatile materials, and not inserting hands into the spin dryer basket during operation. It also warns against using hot water above 50°C.
- Troubleshooting: A dedicated section helps users identify and resolve common issues such as the motor not operating, the spin dryer basket not working, water not entering the washer, or water not draining.
Maintenance Features:
- General Cleaning: The washing machine can be cleaned with a mild liquid detergent. Abrasive cleaners or chemicals like benzene or thinner should be avoided as they can damage painted surfaces and plastic parts.
- Lint Filter / Magic Filter Cleaning: Instructions are provided for removing, cleaning, and re-inserting the lint filter or magic filter. This involves pulling out the filter, turning the net over, rinsing with water, and pressing it back into position until a click is heard.
- Overflow Filter & Rotation Filter-C Cleaning: For models with these filters, the manual details how to lift the overflow filter, pull out the rotation filter-C, clean them with a brush or by hand to remove lint, and then re-insert them.
- Pulsator Cleaning: If objects get caught in the pulsator, users are guided to remove the pulsator cap, unscrew the central screw, lift the pulsator, remove the object, and then reassemble.
- Detergent Box Cleaning: The detergent box can be pulled out, rotated downwards, and cleaned with water.
