SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Do not reach inside the tub while the machine is working.
Wait until all motion stops.

• Before washing, check all clothes for loose buttons and tears.
Check pockets for coins, pins or other small articles.
Close zips and fasteners.
Wash small articles inside a pillow slip.

• Do not wash clothes soaked in petrol, thinners, vegetable oil or any other flammable
liquids. Nor should any of these liquids be added to the wash water as they constitute
a fire hazard.

• Only use the machine for washing fabrics. Do not attempt to wash plastic leather or
fibreglass. Sort and separate clothes by fabric, colour and degree of dirt.

• Avoid spraying water on to the control panel and back of the machine.

• Do not use detergents which are not specifically designed for top loading automatic

washing machines.

• Do not allow children to play with or crawl inside the machine.
Supervise them closely when the washer is in use.

• Always unplug the machine from the wall socket when it requires cleaning or service.
Only permit qualified persons to repair or install parts in the washer.

• Do not use water which is hotter than 65 degrees Celsius as this may deform plastic
parts of the machine.

INSTALLATION

UNPACKING

• Remove all packaging and dispose of it in a responsible manner.

• Open the wash-tub lid and remove all the accessories stored in the drum.

• Do not attempt to operate the machine while any of the packaging is still in place.

POSITIONING

• The machine should be installed in a well

ventilated place, away from direct sunlight.

• Hot and cold water taps should be located

within 1 metre of the inlet valves.

• Position the machine on a flat and stable

uncarpeted floor capable of supporting the fully

loaded washer.
Adjustable levelling feet are located at the front of
the machine and may be turned in or out to achieve
stability. An unstable machine will vibrate and
generate excessive noise.

DRAIN HOSE

• Connect the drain hose to the drain outlet at the

rear of the machine and secure it with the hose
clamp supplied.

• Hook the outlet end of the drain hose over the

lip of a sink or outlet pipe.
