The appliance requires an AC 220 V / 50 Hz power supply and a dedicated fuse or circuit breaker. The drain hose should be positioned at a height of 90-100 cm for optimal drainage.

Usage Features

Installation: The installation process involves several steps:

Selecting a location: Choose a solid, level surface away from direct sunlight, with adequate room for ventilation, and away from heat sources. An Anti-rat panel needs to be inserted into the bottom of the machine to prevent small animals from entering.
Adjusting the levelling feet: Gently slide the washing machine into position and manually adjust the levelling feet to ensure stability.
Connecting the water hose: Connect the water hose to the water tap using the provided adaptor. Ensure the connection is secure to prevent leaks.
Positioning the drain hose: The drain hose can be positioned as a general type (inserted into a drain hose) or a pump type (connected to a standpipe or basin). Ensure the drain hose does not exceed 3 m in total length and does not protrude more than 5 cm from the floor.
Power on: Plug the power cord into a wall socket featuring an AC 220 V / 50 Hz approved electrical outlet protected by a fuse or circuit breaker.

Before you start:

Detergent drawer: To add detergent, open the drawer, locate the detergent drawer, and slide it open. Apply powder detergent as recommended by the manufacturer. Add fabric softener as recommended by the manufacturer, and then close the cover. Avoid excessive amounts of detergent to prevent residue.
Child Lock: Press Power, then hold Function and Monsoon simultaneously for 3 seconds to activate/deactivate. The indicator blinks when active. If the tub contains water, simply restart the machine and hold down two buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to deactivate.
Laundry guidelines: Check for stains, sort clothes by color, pre-treat sleeves, collars, and pockets, and remove threads before washing. Avoid placing or keeping blankets in the tub, or putting candles/heat sources in the machine. Sort clothes by fabric type (cotton, wool, synthetics, delicates) and wash items like waterproof sheets, mattresses, or sleeping bags separately.
Sorting: Sort laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon. Separate whites from colours. Mix different-sized items together in the tub for improved washing performance.
Empty pockets: Remove all objects such as coins, pins, and buckles. Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out. Close zippers and hooks. Tie strings.
Use a laundry net or wash certain items separately: Use a laundry net for brassieres, cashmilon, large volume garments, and lightweight clothes. Do not wash the laundry net by itself.
To input a blanket: Fold the blanket as shown in the manual and place it on the plastic area (A) of the tub.
Prewash (if necessary): To remove stains and dirt on collars, sleeves, hems, and pockets, apply detergent lightly and brush off. Use powder or liquid detergents. Prewash white socks, sleeves, and collars with a little detergent and a brush.
Determine the load capacity: Make sure the laundry does not exceed the plastic area (A) in the figure. Overloading can cause damage to the machine or laundry.
Apply a proper detergent type: The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric, color, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Use "low suds" laundry detergent. Avoid excessive amounts of detergent. Bleach is strong alkali in nature, causing damage to clothes. Use a longer or added rinse cycle when using powder detergent. If an excessive amount of detergent is used, especially in cold water, the detergent doesn't dissolve well. In case of timed washing, do not apply detergent directly to laundry or the tub. When washing wool using the Wool cycle, use only a neutral detergent.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning: Regular cleaning helps prevent deteriorated performance and preserves the machine's life cycle.

Eco Tub Clean reminder: The indicator reminds you to clean the tub when necessary. If you happen to see the indicator blinking after washing is complete, run the Eco Tub Clean cycle. If you ignore this reminder, the reminder remains active for 6 consecutive cycles immediately after each cycle is complete. The reminder is activated once every 1-3 months, depending on the cycle count. To keep the tub clean, it is recommended to run Eco Tub Clean on a regular basis.

Troubleshooting (Checkpoints and Information codes): The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common problems and error codes.

Common problems and actions:
- Does not turn on: Check power cord, fuse/circuit breaker, door closure, water taps, Child Lock activation, and START/PAUSE button.
- Does not start: Check power cord, fuse/circuit breaker, door closure, START/PAUSE button, and if the machine is in a soaking cycle.
- Water is not supplied: Check water taps, filter net, water supply cut off, straightness of water supply hoses, water pressure, and water level sensor.
- Vibrates excessively or makes noise: Check if the machine is on a level floor, if the levelling feet are adjusted, if the machine is contacting any other object, if the laundry is spread evenly, if the space around the machine is free of objects, if humming is normal, and if objects such as coins are causing noise.
- Stops: Check power cord, fuse/circuit breaker, door closure, START/PAUSE button, if the machine is in a soaking cycle, if there is a pause or soak period, if inlet hose screens are clogged, if the screens are periodically cleaned, and if power is low.
- The Eco Tub Clean alarm does not turn off: The machine is diagnosed to be cleaned, the indicator blinks for an hour. This recurs 6 consecutive times until you run the Eco Tub Clean cycle.
- Fills with the wrong temperature water: Check water taps, temperature selection, and if the machine fills with hot/cold water through the dispenser.
- Does not drain and/or spin: Check fuse/circuit breaker, electrical voltage, if the machine is plugged in, if the drain hose is pointed downward, if the drain hose is clogged or kinked, and if the drain hose is straight.
- Load is wet at the end of the cycle: Use high or extra high spin speed, use high efficiency (HE) detergent, and avoid too small or unbalanced loads.
- Leaks water: Check all hose connections, water supply hose's rubber packing, end of drain hose, overloading, water supply hose, water pressure, and if the water tap is leaking.
- Excessive suds: Use high efficiency (HE) detergent, reduce detergent amount, and ensure non-HE detergent is not recommended.
- The spin basket or drain/supply hose is frozen: Use warm water to disconnect the water supply hose and drain hose, soak them in warm water, fill the spin basket with warm water, and put a hot towel on the drain hose connector. Reconnect the water supply hose and drain hose, and check if water is supplied properly.
- Water drains out immediately: Check if the drain hose is not clogged or hung over the drain hose hook, fill the spin basket halfway with water, and try spinning again. Lift the end of the drain hose to prevent water from draining. Fill the spin basket halfway with water, and then run spinning after releasing the drain hose. Make sure the drain hose is installed correctly.
- Stains on clothes: Clean the magic filter.
- Has odours: Excessive suds collect in recesses and can cause foul odours. Run cleaning cycles to sanitize periodically. Dry the washing machine interior after a cycle has finished.
Information codes and actions:
- 1C (WaterLevel Sensor not working properly): Check WaterLevel Sensor wire harness. Contact customer service.
- 3C (Motor problem): Try restarting the cycle. If the problem continues, call for service.
- 4C (Water is not supplied): Check water taps, if they are frozen, if the washing machine is operating with sufficient water pressure, if the cold/hot water tap is properly connected, and clean the mesh filter.
- 5C (Water is not draining): Check if the drain hose is frozen or clogged, if it's positioned correctly, clean the debris filter, and if it's straightened. Contact customer service.
- dC (Operating the washer with the door open): Make sure the door is properly closed. Make sure laundry is not caught in the door.
- LC (Check the drain hose): Make sure the end of the drain hose is placed on the floor. Make sure the drain hose is not clogged. Contact customer service.
- OC (Water is overflowed): Restart after spinning. Contact customer service.
- Ub (Spinning does not work): Make sure laundry is spread out evenly. Make sure the washing machine is on a flat, stable surface. Redistribute the load. If only one item of clothing needs washing, such as a bathrobe or pair of jeans, the final spin result might be unsatisfactory, and an 'Ub' check message will be shown.
