FAQs

What is the Autodose system and how does it work?

The Autodose system uses intelligent sensors to automatically dispense the optimal amount of liquid detergent and softener for each wash cycle based on the load size and fabric type, ensuring efficient cleaning and fabric care.

How do I use the steam function?

The steam function is integrated into various programs (like Hygiene/Anti-allergy) or can be selected as an option. It helps to neutralize odors, reduce allergens, and smooth out creases.

What is the maximum spin speed, and what does it mean for drying?

The maximum spin speed is 1400 RPM. A higher spin speed extracts more water from clothes, leading to significantly shorter drying times whether you use a tumble dryer or line dry.

Can I wash wool or delicate items in this machine?

Yes, the machine includes specific programs such as 'Hand/wool 40°C' and 'Cold' suitable for washing woolens and delicate fabrics with care.

How often should I clean the washing machine?

It's recommended to wipe down the exterior and clean the detergent drawer weekly. Running a self-cleaning cycle or a hot empty wash monthly helps maintain drum hygiene. The drain pump filter should be checked and cleaned every few months.

What does the 'Quick 14min' program do?

This program is designed for small, lightly soiled loads. It provides a quick wash in just 14 minutes, ideal for refreshing clothes when you're short on time.

Is this washing machine noisy?

The noise level during the spin cycle is rated at 78 dB, falling into noise emission class C. While it has noise reduction features, it may be audible during high-speed spins.

Troubleshooting

Washing machine does not start.

Ensure the power cord is plugged in and the outlet is working. Check if the door is fully closed and latched. Verify that a program has been selected and the start button has been pressed. Check the delay start timer is not active.

Water is not draining or spinning.

Check if the drain hose is kinked or blocked. Clean the drain pump filter. Ensure the load is not unbalanced, which can prevent spinning.

Excessive foam during the wash cycle.

This may be due to using too much detergent or using a non-HE detergent. Reduce the amount of detergent used. The machine has a foam control system that should manage moderate excess foam.

The machine is making loud noises during operation.

Ensure the machine is level and all transit bolts have been removed. Check that the load is balanced. Foreign objects in the drum or pump could also cause noise.

Clothes are not clean after washing.

Ensure the correct program and temperature have been selected for the type of fabric and soil level. Do not overload the machine. Check that the detergent dispenser is clean and functioning correctly.

  • Autodose feature minimizes detergent waste and ensures optimal cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the washing machine is placed on a level, stable surface. Use the adjustable feet to correct any wobbling.
  2. Connect the water inlet hose securely to a cold water tap.
  3. Connect the drain hose to a suitable drainage point, ensuring it is at the correct height to prevent siphoning.
  4. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The appliance requires 230V and 10A.

Compatibility:

  • Water Supply: Connects to a standard cold water tap.
  • Drainage: Requires a plumbed-in drain or standpipe at a height between 600mm and 1000mm.
  • Electrical: Standard 230V, 50Hz power outlet with a minimum of 10A capacity.

Care:

  • Regular Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Clean the door seal and the detergent drawer regularly to prevent residue buildup.
  • Drum Cleaning: Run the self-cleaning program periodically, or run a hot wash (e.g., Cottons 90°C) with an empty drum to maintain hygiene.
  • Filter Maintenance: Check and clean the drain pump filter located at the bottom of the machine every few months to ensure efficient drainage and prevent blockages.
  • Detergent Drawer: Remove and clean the detergent drawer compartments regularly to prevent blockages from detergent and softener residue.
