Usage Features
The washing machine features a control panel with several selectors and timers for easy operation:
- Water Selector: Used to select "Wash" during washing and "Spin" during spin rinsing.
- Wash Timer: Sets the wash time from 1 to 15 minutes.
- Wash Selector: Allows selection of various washing methods (Normal, Heavy, Soak).
- Cycle Selector: Used to select "Washing/Rinsing" or "Draining."
- Air Turbo Spin Timer: Sets the spin time from 1 to 10 minutes, with an "Air Turbo" option for extended drying.
The washing process involves connecting the water supply and power, laying down the drain hose, loading clothes, filling water, adding detergent, and setting the appropriate timers and selectors. The machine supports a "Soak" function for heavily soiled clothes, which can be set for up to 35 minutes, including a 15-minute wash cycle followed by repeated turning and resting intervals. For spin-drying, clothes are transferred to the spin basket, covered with a safety cover, and the spin dryer lid is closed before setting the spin timer.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- The appliance must be installed on a sturdy, flat surface to prevent excessive vibration.
- Do not install the washer near water or in humid places to avoid electric shock.
- Avoid direct sunlight or heating devices.
- Ensure the power cord is connected to a grounded outlet.
- Do not use an extension cord.
- The drain hose should be properly placed to prevent water overflow.
- The spin dryer lid must be closed completely during operation.
- In case of an unbalance during spinning, redistribute the laundry evenly.
- For Europe, children under 3 years old should be kept away unless continuously supervised.
- The appliance should not be supplied through an external switching device (e.g., timer) or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
- The new hose-sets supplied with the appliance must be used, and old hose-sets should not be reused.
- For washing machines with ventilation openings in the base, ensure these openings are not obstructed by a carpet.
- This appliance is intended for household use only and not for commercial or communal settings like staff kitchens, farmhouses, hotels, or launderettes.
Maintenance Features
- Cleaning the Lint Filter: The lint filter should be cleaned regularly by pulling it out, removing collected lint, and rinsing it.
- Cleaning the Wash Tub: The wash tub can be cleaned with a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid using benzene, thinners, cleanser, or wax, as these can damage painted surfaces or plastic parts.
- Removing Fallen Clothing: If clothing falls between the spin basket and the tub, the power plug must be disconnected. The spin dryer hatch can be disassembled by removing screws and expanding the concave and convex parts to access and remove the clothing. The hatch should then be securely reattached.
- Drain Filter (with pump models): The drain filter should be checked and cleaned if clogged with scrap.
- Drain Hose: The drain hose should be checked for clogs. If the drain hose is clogged, half-fill the wash tub with water and try to drain again; the water pressure may remove the scrap.
