This function will be ineffective: When the first two water levels (15L or 20L) are selected. When the DELICATE or BLANKET program is selected. When SOAK is selected, after the soaking process.

21 FAQs and Troubleshooting 21 Not all unusual incidents you may encounter with your washing machine are faults, or cause for concern. Check in the list below what issues may arise and why. Also check in the table on the following page for solutions to other common problems. The drain hose is leaking water during the first use. Does this indicate there is a problem? No, this is normal; it is residual water from the performance test in the factory and no cause for concern. Why is there still some water intake during the wash or rinse cycle? When the water level is low, the washing machine will automatically refill during the washing or rinsing process. This is no cause for concern. At the beginning of the spin cycle, why is the tub turning first and then stopping? This is intermittent spinning and it results in better spinning performance. During the spin cycle, why is the machine spinning and then stopping suddenly and taking in water again? If the washing is piled up at one side of the tub during the spin cycle, the washing machine automatically takes in more water to redistribute the load. Once the load is balanced again, the spin cycle will continue. Why is there a sound like water flowing after spinning? This is the sound of the balancing liquid in the balance ring. This helps reduce vibration during spinning. Why is the control panel still warm after the power is switched off? This is caused by the memory circuitry still working. The washer does not work at all. What could I have done wrong? Check and ensure that the washer is connected properly to the power supply and power is switched on at the outlet. If both are OK, first press the POWER ON/OFF button, then press the START/ PAUSE button. If the machine still does not start the set program, check elsewhere in your home whether there has been a power failure, or whether the fuse or circuit breaker has been activated. If none of the solutions offered above and on the following page help you solve the problem, contact our after sales support line for advice.

22 22 FAQs and Troubleshooting (Cont.) Error messages When the following problems occur, the microcomputer inside the washer will detect the abnormal condition.

23 Other Useful Information 23 Cleaning and care To prolong the service life of the washing machine, keep it in good condition and perform regular maintenance. For any type of cleaning and maintenance, make sure the washing machine is disconnected from the mains power supply. Cleaning the washing machine (when required) Use a soft cloth to wipe any water or dirt off the washer lid and housing. If using a damp cloth, squeeze it almost dry to avoid leaving water residues. Do not use any chemical, alkaline or abrasive cleaning agents to avoid damaging the surface. Do not spray water directly onto the washer housing. Cleaning the lint filter (suggested interval: every week) Take out the lint filter as illustrated below. Open the filter and rinse it clean under running water, taking care not the damage any parts. Reinstall the filter, making sure it fits securely behind the cover clasp and latches and locks securely into place. Cleaning the water inlet valve (suggested interval: every 6 months) To avoid blockage of the mesh filter at the water inlet after long time use, detach the water inlet hose, making sure you have turned off the water supply at the taps beforehand. Take the mesh filter out of the water inlet valve and clean the filter with a soft brush. Then assemble the mesh filter back into the valve and reconnect the water inlet hose. Cleaning the hose filter (suggested interval: every 6 months) To avoid blockage of the hose filter after long time use, detach the water inlet hose, making sure you have turned off the water supply at the taps beforehand. Turn the nut anticlockwise to take off the hose, clean the filter under running water or with a soft brush, then reconnect the hose.

24 24 Other Useful Information (Cont.) IMPORTANT! If you frequently use a COLD wash cycle, you will need to clean the inside of your washing machine regularly (every three months), especially if you use a fabric softener. Liquid detergents can cause detergent scum to build up around the outside of the inner tub, which cold water will not remove and which can cause bacteria, unpleasant odours, and eventually soiling of your wash load. To remove scum build-up from the inside of a washing machine, run a cleaning cycle without clothes using the HEAVY DUTY program and HOT water. As a cleaning agent, use a commercially available washing machine cleaning product according to the instructions on the product), or use a mix of bicarbonate of soda (½ cup) and white household vinegar (2 cups).

25 Other Useful Information (Cont.) 25 Drain pump maintenance We recommend that you clean the drain pump filter regularly (at least once a month) to avoid blockages created by bobby pins, coins and excess lint. Proceed as follows: 1. Disconnect the washer from the power source. 2. If necessary, wait until the water has cooled down. 3. Place a container underneath the pump opening to collect any spillage (see below, left). 4. Turn the filter cap anticlockwise to take it out gently (see below, right). Always keep a rag nearby to dry up water spillage when removing the pump filter. 5. To remove any objects from the filter, wash it thoroughly in a basin or under running water (see below, left). 6. Put the cap back and place the filter back in its seat (see below, right). Filter
