FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Full Load 45' cycle?

The Full Load 45' cycle allows you to wash a complete 12 kg load in just 45 minutes, significantly reducing laundry time for large amounts of clothes.

How does the Anti-Stain function work?

It uses specific drum movements and controlled temperatures to effectively tackle up to 24 common household stains without needing pre-treatment.

Is this washing machine suitable for homes with pets?

Yes, the PetHairCare cycle is designed to effectively remove pet hair from laundry with an extra pre-wash and rinse.

Can I use the SteamCare cycle for heavily soiled clothes?

No, the SteamCare cycle is intended for refreshing clothes and reducing creases, not for deep cleaning heavily soiled items.

What is the warranty on the motor?

The Digital Inverter motor comes with a 25-year certified motor lifetime warranty.

Does this machine have a quick wash for small loads?

While it has a fast full load cycle, there isn't a specific dedicated quick wash for very small loads. The SteamCare cycle can refresh items quickly, but it's not a wash cycle for soiled clothing.

How do I prevent odors in the washing machine?

Regularly clean the drum by running an 'Auto Clean' cycle or a hot wash (60°C+) with an empty drum. Also, ensure the door seal and detergent drawer are kept clean.

Troubleshooting

Machine does not start

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. Check that the door is fully closed and the child lock is not engaged. Verify that the water tap is turned on and the delay start timer is not active.

Excessive vibration or noise

Make sure the machine is on a level surface. Check that transit bolts have been removed (if it's a new installation). Ensure the load is balanced within the drum.

Water not draining

Check that the drain hose is not kinked or blocked. Clean the drain pump filter; debris can obstruct drainage.

Poor cleaning performance

Ensure the correct amount of detergent is used. Do not overload the machine. Select an appropriate wash program for the type of fabric and stain.

Machine stops mid-cycle

Check for error codes on the display and consult the user manual. Ensure water supply is adequate and the drain hose is clear. The load might be unbalanced.
