2Sorting laundry.
•To get the best results, sort clothes into
loads that can be washed with the same
wash cycle.
•Different fabrics need to be washed at
varying temperatures and spin speeds.
•Always sort dark colours from pale colours
and whites. Wash separately as dye and
lint transfer can occur causing
discolouration of white and pale garments.
If possible, do not wash heavily soiled
items with lightly soiled ones.
−Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) :
Separate clothes according to amount of
soil.
−Colour (White, Lights, Darks):

are empty. Items such as nails, hair clips,
matches, pens, coins and keys can
damage both your washing machine and
your clothes.
•Close zippers, hooks and strings to make
sure that these items don’t snag on other
clothes.
•Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a
small amount of detergent dissolved water
onto stains to help lift dirt.
•Check the folds of the flexible gasket
(gray) and remove any small articles.
CAUTION
•Check inside the drum and remove any items
from a previous wash.
•Remove any clothing or items from the flexible
gasket to prevent clothing and gasket
damage.
Adding Cleaning Products
Detergent Dosage
•Detergent should be used according to the
instruction of the detergent manufacturer and
selected according to type, colour, soiling of
the fabric and washing temperature.
•If too much detergent is used, too many suds
can occur and this will result in poor washing
results or cause heavy load to the motor.
•If you wish to use liquid detergent follow the
guidelines provided by the detergent
manufacturer.
•You can pour liquid detergent directly into the
main detergent drawer if you are starting the
cycle immediately.
•Do not use liquid detergent if you are using
Time delay, or if you have selected Pre Wash,
as the liquid may harden.
•If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent
amount.
•Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for
water temperature, water hardness, size and
soil level of the load. For best results, avoid
oversudsing.
•Refer to the label of the clothes, before
choosing the detergent and water
temperature.
•When using the washing machine, use
designated detergent for each type of clothing
only:
−General powdered detergents for all types of
fabric
−Powdered detergents for delicate fabric
−Liquid detergents for all types of fabric or
designated detergents only for wool
•For better washing performance and
whitening, use detergent with the general
powdered bleach.
•Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the
beginning of the cycle.
21
EN
NOTE
•Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may
lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or
odour.
•Full load : According to manufacturer’s
recommendation.
•Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount
•Minimum load : 1/2 of full load

TROUBLESHOOTING EN
•Your washing machine is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and
diagnose problems at an early stage. If your washing machine does not function properly or does
not function at all, check the following before you call for service:
Diagnosing Problems
Symptoms Reason Solution
Rattling and
clanking noise
Foreign objects such as coins or
safety pins may be in drum or
pump.
•Check all pockets to make sure that
they are empty. Items such as clips,
matches, pens, coins, and keys can
damage both your washer and your
clothes.
•Close zippers, hooks, and
drawstrings to prevent these items
from snagging or tangling on other
clothes.
Thumping sound
Heavy wash loads may produce a
thumping sound. This is usually
normal.
•If sound continues, washing machine
is probably out of balance. Stop and
redistribute wash load.
Vibrating noise
Have all the transit bolts and tub
support been removed?
•If not removed during installation,
refer to Installation guide for
removing transit bolts.
Are all the feet resting firmly on the
ground?
•Make sure the washing machine is
level and tighten the lock nuts up
towards the base of the appliance.
Water leaks
Supply hoses or drain hose are
loose at tap or washing machine. •Check and tighten hose connections.
House drain pipes are clogged. •Unclog drain pipe. Contact plumber
if necessary.
Oversudsing
Too much detergent or unsuitable
detergent may cause excessive
foaming which may result in water
leaks.
•Make sure that the suggested
amount of detergent is used per the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Water does not
enter washing
machine or it
enters slowly
Water supply is not adequate in
that location. •Check another tap in the house.
Water supply tap is not completely
open. •Fully open tap.
Water supply hose(s) are kinked. •Straighten hose.
The filter of the supply hose(s)
clogged. •Check the filter of the supply hose.

Door does not
open
Once washing machine has started,
the door cannot be opened for
safety reasons.
•Check if the ‘Door Lock’ icon is
illuminated. You can safely open the
door after the ‘Door Lock’ icon turns
off.

seal area are not cleaned regularly,
odors can occur from mold or
foreign substances.
•Be sure to clean the gasket and door
seal regularly and check under the
door seal for small items when
unloading the washer.
Odors can occur if foreign
substances are left in the drainage
pump filter.
•Be sure to clean the drainage pump
filter regularly.
Odors can occur if the drainage
hose is not properly installed,
causing siphoning (water flowing
back inside the washing machine).
•When installing the drainage hose,
be sure that it doesn’t become
kinked or blocked.
Using the dry function, odors can
occur from lint and other laundry
matter sticking to the heater. (Dryer
