Metallic buckles/zippers All metallic buckles / zippers must be closed before putting clothes into the washing machine. Open buckles / zippers could damage / scratch inner plastic parts and may even damage clothes. Best Performance Good wash performance depends on the right quality and quantity of the detergent used (i.e. minimum 1g/ltr of water and in case of more hardness, use 1.5g/ltr of water concentration) and right voltage availability for the machine to deliver proper function. Similarly the water extraction also depends on right voltage level and type of clothes used (i.e. Cotton Vs Delicate). Lint Separate Whites from colored clothes before washing. Always ensure that Lint-generating clothes (e.g. towels) are separated from Lint-Receivers (e.g. Synthetic fibres, black color garments). Make sure that you add the recommended amount of detergent for each wash load. Tangling Do not stuff clothes or wrap them around the Agitator. Drop them loosely around the Agitator. A mixture of large / small clothes will wash the best. Electrical Always ensure that the household electrical wiring and earthing is proper, and plug points must be intact. Rodents Protect your machine from Rodents / Vermin; as they can damage the wiring, which may leads to short circuits or general nonfuctioning of the machine.

Water tap must be turned on. Check that inlet valve filter has not become clogged. Check for any kinks in inlet hose, which can restrict water flow. Do not use an extension cord. Ensure that there is power to outlet. Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses. NOTE: If problems continues, contact an electrician. Lid must be closed for washer to run. Washer will pause during certain phases of cycle. Do not interrupt the program cycle. Washer spins the load before filling to determine load size. Remove several items, rearrange load evenly in basket. Close the lid and press Start/Pause button. Empty pockets and use garment bags for small items. Programs with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle for your garment. To remove extra water in the load, Select Spin and dry it. Load may need to be rearranged to allow even distribution of the load in the basket. Reduce load size to improve water removal. A tightly packed load may not allow the washer from spinning correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Use only High Compact detergent. To remove extra suds, select Rinse & Spin. Do not add detergent. The high spin speeds combined with air flow during the final spin can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry spots during the final spin. This is normal. 20
