Water Supply Hose

Points to remember

• Follow the instructions in this section to avoid water leaks.

• Don’t connect the hose to a combination tap.

• Don’t twist, squash, modify or cut the hose.

• Optimum water pressure in the main pipe is 0.03 MPa - 1.0 MPa. If the water pressure is set higher

than this, you will need to install a depressurising valve. Ensure the water flow amount and speed

from the tap is sufficient. If you’re unsure, ask a qualified technician to connect the hose.

• This unit must only be connected to cold water mains using the new water inlet hose provided.

Connecting the Water Supply Hose

1. Connect the nut on the inlet hose to the

connector on the water valve.

2. Apply inlet hose to a water tap with cold, fresh

water.

3. Open the tap slowly and check that there are

no leaks around the joint.

INSTALLATION

Water Drain Hose

Points to remember:

• Don’t twist, pull out or bend the drain hose.

• Your washing machine should be no more than 100cm from the drain outlet.

Draining to a sink or wash-basin

• Secure the drain hose in position, so it can’t drop out of the basin.

• Don’t block the basin’s drain outlet, and make sure that the drainage

through it is sufficient.

• Don’t let the tip of the drain hose dip into the drained water, as this can

cause the water to flow back into the washing machine.

• Use the drain hose bracket to keep the end of the drain hose retained

and prevent the outflow of water. Don’t extend the length of the drain

hose; if an extended hose is required, please consult a serviceman.

Connecting to the Mains Supply

For your safety:

• Do not use a mains plug adapter or extension cable.

• If the mains cable or mains plug are damaged, stop using them and call a qualified technician for

assistance.

Installation Check List

By now, you should have installed the washing machine.

Let’s go through the checklist to ensure that the installation has been done correctly!

Questions Checkbox

Anchor bolts - Have you removed them and attached the cover caps properly?

4 levelling feet Are they bolted securely to the washing machine?

Are they standing flat?

Power supply - Is the household dedicated mains socket, fully rated at AC 220V to

240V independently?

Location - Is your washing machine on a flat, stable surface? Does it run without

vibrating?

Water Supply Hose - Is it free from leaks and is the water supply normal?

Water Drain Hose - Is it free from leaks and is it draining normally?

The drain hose should not be submerged in water and should be

securely fixed and leak-free. If the drain hose is placed on the ground

or if the pipe is at a height of less than 80cm, the washing machine

will continuously drain while being filled (self-siphoning).

C510WM12_IB_RC_Final130227.indd 14 27/02/2013 2:42 PM

Preparation

Read the following to understand how best to prepare your laundry for washing.

Organising Laundry

• Read the washing label on each garment to help you sort your washing into different loads.

• Sort the laundry by colour, type of fabric and by how soiled it is.

This will help you choose the correct programme and temperature for each wash.

• Do not exceed maximum load!

• Be careful not to trap any items of clothing.

Preparing Laundry

• Treat stains before washing.

• Some items should to be put into a cleaning net before going

into the washing machine. i.e. bras with metal wires, tights and

lace clothing to prevent damage. Check that pockets do not

contain any objects which may damage your clothes and the

washing machine.

• Tie up any loose strings on laundry, close zippers and reverse

clothing with zips inside out.

• Remove any surplus hair, animal fur, sand, and other materials

with a brush before washing.

• If clothes have raised fabric turn them inside out.

• Clothes that are not colour fast should be washed separately.

• Insert your clothes into the washing machine. Close the washing

machine door. Ensure not to trap any items of clothing between

the loading door and rubber seal.

• When first using the washing machine, let it run unloaded for one

program to prevent the laundry from being tainted by oil or dirty

water from the washing machine. Before washing you should

run the machine without laundry, but with detergent, with 60°C

programme.

Adding Detergent and Softener

• The washing efficiency and the performance is determined by

the quality of detergent used. Special non-foaming detergent

produces good washing results. Use specific detergents for

synthetic and woollen goods. Do not use dry cleaning agents

such as trichloroethylene and similar products.

Main wash

Do not add more detergent than needed. Please follow the

dosage recommendation on the detergent package.

• Slide out the detergent drawer and put the required detergent and softening agent into the

corresponding compartments. Push back the drawer gently. (Refer to the instructions on the drawer)

• Apply softener before you start washing to prevent static.

C510WM12_IB_RC_Final130227.indd 15 27/02/2013 2:42 PM

• Do not use washing machine when the detergent drawer is removed. It may cause a water leak or it

may not work normally.

• If you forget to add detergent, you can drain the washing machine by running a spin only programme.

Then you can add detergent and start the programme again. Detergent only reaches the drum when

water flushes through the detergent drawer.

• To prevent powered detergent staying in the drawer, dry the inside of the drawer with a cloth. Make

sure the powder isn’t lumpy when you add it into the drawer.

• If the rinse cycle isn’t removing all the detergent from your wash, use less detergent.

• Softener should not exceed the MAX level in the compartment.

• Wash out unused softener with a splash of water or a damp cloth after the programme has finished.

• For pre-washing program, detergent should be added to both drawer

and . For other

programs, do not add detergent to drawer

• Use liquid detergent according to the instructions on its package. Do not use liquid detergent if

the pre-wash mode.

• Do not overuse softener; otherwise, it will damage the artificial fibres.

• Dilute viscous fabric softener and fabric conditioner with water. Prevent blockage of the

overflow. Maximum level is 70ml.

• Apply detergent and softener according to the washing amount, the soiling level, the water hardness

in your area and the manufacturer’s instructions of these products.

Important Information

Washing (Wool Programmes)

These programmes rock the drum gently for best results on delicate laundry.

• Delicate laundry loads: 1.5kg or less

• Tips for Wool programme:

Approximate Weights:

- Wool sweater (400g)

- Silk blouse / under garment (200g)

- Trousers (400g)

- For wool items, use a mild liquid detergent.

Other detergents may damage your clothes.

Tips for Hanging Delicate Items to Dry

• Hang white or light colour clothes, wool and nylon

away from direct heat or sunlight.

• After washing, smooth creases and folds out of wool

and nylon clothes and return them to their normal

shape before hanging in the shade.

• Use a hanger for shirts, blouses and trousers. You can

wrap a towel around the hanger to fit the shoulder

width of your clothes, so they retain their shape as

they dry.

• Spread woollen items such as sweaters out to dry.

If Clothing Shrinks in the Wash...

• You can spread the item out to its original size on an

ironing board, and use dress pins to hold the size and

shape. Then use an iron to steam the item and leave

it to dry.

After using starch, clean the detergent drawer, especially the softener cover. Then remove any

excess starch in the drum, run a “Quick Wash” programme without detergent.

How to Use Laundry Starch

Laundry starch makes your clothes crisp in texture.

Synthetic laundry starch is a stiffening agent.

• To use laundry starch, simply add it to the softener compartment, next to where you add detergent. It

will automatically be applied to your clothes as part of the final rinsing cycle.

• If it’s hard to pour, you can dilute the starch slightly with water before adding it to the softener

compartment. Make sure you don’t fill the compartment over the MAX level.

C510WM12_IB_RC_Final130227.indd 19 27/02/2013 2:42 PM
