Section B Washing instructions
Follow the instructions in this section for the best washing results.
Sort your washing into separate wash loads
Each load of washing should contain clothing which needs the
same washing conditions. For example, you should not wash
delicate clothes with very dirty work clothes.
Some fabrics are lint collectors and can pick up lint, dirt and colour
from other fabrics, which are lint producers. Some examples are
listed below.
LINT COLLECTORS
LINT PRODUCERS
Corduroy
Towels
Synthetics
Nappies
Permanent press fabrics
Chenille / Candlewick
Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint
producers.
Check your clothes to avoid damage
Empty all pockets.
Close all hooks and zippers to avoid snagging clothes.
Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag
which you can purchase from your supermarket.
Load the washing machine
When loading the clothes into your washing machine, there are
four things to remember:
1.
Clothes must be loaded evenly around the agitator.
2.
Clothes must not be wrapped around the agitator.
3.
The washing machine must not be overloaded. Clothes must
be able to move around during the washing cycle.
4.
The load should contain only two or three large items,
eg sheets. The rest of the load should be small items.
A mixed load of large and small items will wash cleaner than
a load of large items.
10
Add the detergent
When adding detergent to your washing machine, there are five
things to remember:
1.
Think about:
•
the type of dirt in the items to be washed
•
the size of your load
*
the hardness of the water in your local area
2.
Use only good quality detergents and only oxygen bleaches.
3.
Carefully follow the instructions on the detergent or oxygen
bleach bottle or packet.
4.
Mix powder or liquid detergent in one litre of hot or warm
water.
5.
Add the pre-mixed detergent to the wash load.
Don't do these things:
Don't use too little detergent because you will get a poor
wash.
Don't use too much detergent because this may lead to
problems, eg too many suds.
Having a lot of suds in the washing machine does not
necessarily mean that the correct amount of detergent is
being used.
Some detergents do not produce suds at all.
*
Don't use soap based products in your washing machine.
Don't use chlorine bleach with laundry powders or liquid
detergents.
Add fabric conditioner
Fabric conditioners help make clothes softer and fluffier and reduce
static so that clothes do not cling to you when you are wearing them.
When adding fabric conditioner to your washing machine, there are
three things to remember:
1.
Carefully follow the instructions on the fabric conditioner
bottle or packet.
2.
Mix conditioner with an equal amount of warm water but
only mix enough to fill the cup in the top of the agitator.
The fabric conditioner cup holds 90nnl.
3.
Pour the mixed conditioner into the cup in the top of the
agitator. The conditioner will automatically be dispensed
before the deep rinse cycle.
Don't do these things:
Don't spill the conditioner onto the clothes because it may
stain them.
*
Don't overfill the cup in the top of the agitator because the
conditioner may mix with the detergent and stain your
clothes.
*
Don't stop the washing machine during the spray rinse cycle
when using a fabric conditioner.
11
Choose the water level
Water level
Different models of washing machines have different control
panels. Check the control panel layouts in the first section of this
booklet.
When you are choosing the water level, there are three things to
remember:
1.
Choose the water level by turning the water level knob.
You can select:
•
LOW
water level
•
MEDIUM
water level
•
HIGH
water level
or any level in between.
2.
Use only the water you need.
3.
If you want to add more water after the wash cycle has
started you must turn the water level knob to
RESET
and then
turn the knob to the new level that you want. The machine
will stop, fill to the new level and start again.
Choose the water temperature
Different models of washing machines have different control
panels. Check the control panel layouts in the first section of this
booklet.
When you are choosing the temperature, there are four things to
remember.
1.
Choose the water temperature by turning the temperature
knob.
2.
The temperature knob shows the temperature of the water for
wash and rinse cycles.
3.
The WOOL setting will give you a warm wash and a warm
rinse.
4.
The temperature of warm water will depend on the
temperature and the pressure of your water supply. The
recommended temperature for WARM is 40°C. You can adjust
the flow rate of the water supply to adjust the WARM
temperature.
IMPORTANT:
Some hot water supplies are too hot and can damage your washing
machine. Make sure that your hot water supply is not hotter than
70°C. If your water supply is too hot you may need to fit a
temperature limiting valve. This must be fitted by a qualified
plumber.
12
Choose the wash programme
When you are choosing the wash programme, PUSH the knob in,
and then turn it CLOCKWISE.
PULL the knob out to start the washing machine.

Section C Additional features of your washing machine
Some models of washing machine have additional features which are described
in this section.
Jj
Wash & soak or suds save option
With some Models you can save the soapy water and re-use it for
another wash.
JL
On some washing machines this is called WASH & SOAK and on
other washing machines it is called SUDS SAVE.
IMPORTANT:
You cannot save water in the PERMANENT
PRESS cycle because this programme uses extra
water to cool the wash load. This extra water
could flood your laundry.
How to save your wash water.
(For washing machines fitted with one outlet hose)
1.
Set the options control knob or button to SUDS SAVE or
WASH & SOAK.
2.
Put the plug in your laundry tub.
3.
Put the washing machine drain hose into the laundry tub.
4.
Select your wash programme and pull out the knob to start
the washing machine.
5.
When your washing machine stops at the end of the WASH
cycle, reset the options control knob or button to NORMAL.
The washing machine will now pump the water into your
laundry tub.
IMPORTANT:
If your laundry tub is not big enough, your laundry
may be flooded. A standpipe or overflow drain can
be fitted. Standpipes (Part No. 0336-001-726) are
available from your nearest Service Centre.
6.
When all the water has been pumped into your laundry tub,
put the washing machine hose back into the drain outlet so
that the rinse water can be pumped away. The washing
machine will then complete the washing programme.
sh
Normal Drip
0
IMPORTANT:
If you don't put the hose back in the drain outlet,
the water can overflow from your laundry tub or
go back into your washing machine.

Suds Return
How to re-use your wash water (Suds Return)
Single outlet hose
1.
Put the washing machine drain hose into the laundry tub.
2.
Make sure that there are no clothes in the washing machine
and close the lid.
3.
Make sure that the hot and cold taps are turned on.
4.
Turn the programme control knob to SUDS RETURN and pull
out the knob. The washing machine will let some water into
the bowl and will then pump it out to clear any air from the
hose. Then the saved water will be siphoned back into the
washing machine.
5.
Allow time for the water to be siphoned back into the
washing machine because it is a slow process. The water will
continue to siphon until the levels in the tub and the washing
machine are the same.
6.
When the washing machine has stopped siphoning, push the
programme knob in.
7.
Put the washing machine drain hose back in the drain outlet.
8.
Empty the laundry tub.
Rebalance indicator
Some models have a rebalance indicator light. This light tells you
that the washing load has become unbalanced while the washing
machine was spinning.
What to do when the rebalance indicator light comes on
1.
Open the lid.
2.
Redistribute the washing load evenly around the bowl.
3.
Close the lid and the washing machine should restart.
IMPORTANT:
If you open the lid while the machine is
operating, the rebalance indicator light will come
on. This is normal and it does not mean that the
load is unbalanced. When you close the lid, the
washing machine will restart.
Wash & soak option
With Models 540 and 740 you can soak your washing before
completing the wash programme.
How to soak your washing
1.
Set the option control button to WASH & SOAK.
2.
Turn the programme control knob to any wash programme
(except PERMANENT PRESS) and pull out the knob to start
the washing machine.
The washing machine will stop at the end of the wash cycle and
you can soak the load for as long as you like.
3.
Set the options control button to NORMAL. The washing
machine will then complete the wash programme.

Section D Caring for your washing machine
Your washing machine will give you long and trouble-free service, if you follow the
instructions in this section. These instructions show you how to care for your washing
machine.
What to do after each wash
1.
Turn off the electricity at the power point.
2.
Turn off the water taps.
Cleaning the lint filter
Lint is a collection of threads and fluff which comes off your clothes
during washing. Your washing machine collects this lint in the lint
filter. It is important to clean out this lint filter preferably after each
wash.
How to clean the lint filter
1.
Remove the conditioner dispenser cup and filter column from
the centre of the agitator.
2.
Unclip the filter bag from the column.
3.
Turn the bag inside out and remove the lint.
4.
Wash the filter bag and dispenser cup in hot water.
5.
Reassemble the filter to the column and place it back in the
centre of the agitator.
Cleaning your washing machine
To clean the inside and outside of your washing machine you
should:
1.
Wipe the surfaces with a mild dishwashing detergent
and warm water.
2.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
IMPORTANT:
Never use solvents, aerosol cleaners, spray pack
cleaners, metal polishers, caustic materials,
scourers or general household cleaners on the
plastic control panel or other parts of your
washing machine.
Removing your washing machine lid
You can remove the lid of your washing machine for easy cleaning.
How to remove the lid
1.
Hold the lid in a vertical position.
2.
Lift the right hand end and then move the lid to the right.
The hinge will come away from the top panel.
How to replace the lid
1.
Hold the lid in a vertical position.
2.
Put the left hand hinge into the hinge hole of the top panel.
3.
Put the right hand hinge into the hinge slot and close the lid.
IMPORTANT:
If the electrical cord of this appliance is damaged,
it must be replaced by the Manufacturer,
Authorised Service Agent or similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
19
Cleaning stains in the wash bowl
Stains in the wash bowl can be caused by:
metal objects such as bobby pins, dressmaking pins and nails
*
salt
IMPORTANT:
Check all pockets before loading clothes into your
washing machine.
Don't leave wet clothing (especially swimwear) in
the bowl for too long before you wash it.
How to clean the stainless steel washbowl
Wipe with a cleaning product which is marked suitable for
stainless steel.
IMPORTANT:
Never use bleach cleaners or steel wool.
Avoiding build up of undissolved detergents
If you only wash with cold water, undissolved detergent and body
oils will build up in the washing machine. This build-up can cause
spotting on your clothes.
To avoid this build-up:
*
do not use too much fabric softener with cold water
*
select a hot water wash at least once a month.
What to do if there is spotting on your clothes
1.
Put 250 grams of Epsom Salts into the washbowl.
2.
Fill the washing machine with HOT water and agitate for one
minute.
3.
Leave the water in the washing machine for 3 hours.
4.
Agitate for 5 minutes.
5.
Pump the water out.
6.
Rinse the washing machine twice with cold water.
For your safety:
If you have a mains pressure hot water service and it has not been
used for two or three weeks:
Before using the washing machine it is recommended that a hot
water tap close to the washing machine be turned on and the
water allowed to flow for a couple of minutes. This will allow
any gas pressure that has built up over the period of non use to
be discharged.
*
For further details please refer to your hot water service
installation instruction and owners guide.
*
This washing machine is not intended for use by young children
or infirm persons without supervision.
*
Young children shoud be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
