1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read this user manual carefully.
Your machine is for domestic use only.
Using it for commercial purposes will cause
your warranty to be cancelled.

• Residue may build up on detergent and softeners
exposed to air for a long period of time. Only put
softener or detergent in the drawer at the beginning
of each wash.
• Unplug your Washing Machine and switch off the
water supply if the Washing Machine is left unused
for a long time. We also recommend that you leave
the door open to prevent build up of humidity inside
the Washing Machine.

use out of your machine:
• Do not exceed the maximum load for the washing
programme you have chosen. This will allow your
machine to run in energy saving mode.

Your Washing Machine requires a 220240V, 50Hz mains supply.
•
The mains cord of your washing
machine is equipped with an earthed
plug. This plug should always be
inserted to an earthed socket of 10
amps.
•
The plug should always be inserted to
a grounded socket of 10 amperes. The
fuse rating of the plug should also be 10
amperes.
•
If you do not have a suitable socket and
fuse conforming with this, please ensure
the work is carried out by a qualified
electrician.
We do not take responsibility for
damage that occurs due to the use of

7. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
7.2. Water Inlet Filters
Water inlet filters prevent dirt and foreign
materials from entering your machine. We
recommend that these filters are cleaned
when your machine is unable to receive
sufficient water, although your water supply
is on and the tap is open. We recommend
that you clean your water inlet filters every
2 months.
7.1. Warning
Turn your mains power
supply off and remove
the plug from the socket
before carrying out
maintenance and cleaning
of your machine.
Turn off the water
supply before starting
maintenance and cleaning
of your machine.
CAUTION: Do not
use solvents, abrasive
cleaners, glass cleaners
or all-purpose cleaning
agents to clean your
Washing Machine. They
may damage the plastic
surfaces and other
components with the
chemicals they contain.
•
Unscrew the water inlet hose(s) from
the Washing Machine.
•
To remove the water inlet filter from the
water inlet valve, use a pair of longnosed pliers to gently pull on the plastic
bar in the filter.
•
A second water inlet filter is located in
the tap end of the water inlet hose. To
remove the second water inlet filter, use
a pair of long-nosed pliers to gently pull
on the plastic bar in the filter.
•
Clean the filter thoroughly with a soft
brush and wash with soapy water and
rinse thoroughly. Re-insert the filter by
gently pushing it back into place.
CAUTION: The filters at the water inlet
valve may become clogged due to water
quality or lack of required maintenance and
may break down. This may cause a water
leak. Any such breakdowns are out of the
scope of the warranty.

7.4. Detergent Drawer
The use of detergent may cause residual
build up in the detergent drawer over time.
We recommend that you remove the drawer
every 2 months to clean the accumulated
residue.
The pump filter system in your Washing
Machine prolongs the life of the pump by
preventing lint from entering your machine.
We recommend that you clean the pump
filter every 2 months.
The pump filter is located behind the cover
on the front-lower right corner.
To clean the pump filter:
1. You may use the washing powder spade
(*) supplied with your machine or liquid
detergent level plate to open the pump
cover.
2. Lodge the end of the powder spade
or liquid detergent level plate in the
opening of the cover and gently press
backwards. The cover will open.
• Before opening the filter cover, place a
container under the filter cover to collect
any water left in the machine.
•
Loosen the filter by turning anticlockwise
and remove by pulling. Wait for the
water to drain.
To remove the detergent drawer:
• Pull the drawer forwards until it is fully
extended.
•
Gently press down on the drawer (as
shown below) and pull the drawer from
its housing.
•
Clean the drawer with water and a soft
brush.
•
If there is any residue in the drawer
housing, remove with a soft brush.
Take care to prevent any residue from
dropping into the machine.
•
Dry the drawer thoroughly and slide it
back into the housing.
Do not wash your detergent drawer
in dishwasher.
NOTE: Depending on the amount of
water inside the machine, you may have to
empty the water collection container a few
times.
3. Remove any foreign materials from the
filter with a soft brush.
4. After cleaning, re-fit the filter by inserting
it and turning clockwise.
5. When closing the pump cover, ensure
that the mountings inside the cover

2. Body
Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent,
or soap and water, to clean the external
casing. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
3. Drum
Do not leave metallic objects such as
needles, paper clips, coins etc. in your
machine. These objects lead to the
formation of rust stains in the drum. To
clean such rust stains, use a non-chlorine
cleaning agent and follow the instructions of
manufacturer of the cleaning agent. Never
use wire wool or similar hard objects for
cleaning rust stains.
