OWNER’S MANUAL

Thank you for choosing Defy
You are now the proud owner of one of the finest and most
modern washing machines that today’s technology can produce. You and your Automaid are going to make a great team
together. But first it will pay if you really get to know each
other. This book will tell you all you need to know about your
machine, what it will do and how to do it. Please read all the
instructions carefully before operating the machine.
Packaging
All packaging must be removed from the machine and disposed of in a responsible
manner. Plastic bags and “Bubble wrap” sheets should be torn open to prevent
children playing with them and accidentally suffocating.
Transport fittings
The wash drum is secured during transport to prevent damage.
Before using the machine, remove the transport fittings as follows:
Installation
1. Using a suitable spanner, loosen the three transport bolts ( C ) by turning them in
an anti-clockwise direction until the bolts can be partially withdrawn.
2. Remove the bolts and the rubber bushes by pulling outwards. An up and down action together with a little dishwashing liquid will ease the removal.
3. Insert the three plastic plugs ( P ) supplied with the machine into the holes vacated
by the transport fittings.
Note:
To prevent damage, the machine should not be transported without the transport fittings securely in place.
Note:
Never place the machine on a carpet. This could prevent
air circulation and cause electrical components in the
machine to overheat

Levelling
1. The machine must stand firmly on the floor. Any instability will negatively affect
its performance.
2. The machine has two adjustable feet at the front.
3. To level the machine, loosen the plastic lock nuts on the adjustable feet.
4. Rotate the feet until the machine stands firm and level.
5. Tighten the lock nuts firmly.
6. Caution : Never remove the lock nuts and feet from the machine.

Connecting to the cold water supply
1. The water supply should deliver 8 to 80 litres per minute.
2. Sealing washers are supplied and these should be fitted at either end of the inlet hose
3. Secure the angled end of the inlet hose to the water inlet at
the rear of the machine and the straight end to a 3/4 inch
BSP cold water tap.
4. Tighten both connections, open the tap and check for leaks.
5. We recommend that the tap be closed when the machine is
not in use.
Water drainage
Draining into a dedicated outlet pipe (A)
1. The outlet pipe must have an inside diameter of at
B
least 40 mm.
2. The end of the pipe must be positioned between
400 mm. and 1000 mm. above floor level.
3. Secure the hooked end of the drain hose into the
A
outlet pipe.
A
Draining into a sink or bath (B)
1. The drain hose may be hooked over the edge of a
sink or bath in such a way that the end can not be
immersed in the collected waste water.
2. The outlet end of the hose must be between 40 cm. and 100 cm. above floor level.
3. Please note: The outlet hose must be kept free of kinks or restrictions as these will
hinder the operation of the machine

Electrical connection
1. The power cord must b e connected to a 1 5 am p ea rthed wall socket
2. Do not connect the machine through a double adaptor. It requires a
dedicated power point
3. If the power cord should ever need replacing, use only a genuine
cord ( Type ‘X’) available from the nearest Defy Service Centre.
The appliance must be earthed and the manufacturer and seller do not accept
responsibility for any damage due to incorrect electrical connection.
The detergent dispenser
1. Open the dispenser
2. Place detergent / softener in the appropriate compartment of the dispenser, in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions
3. Detergent and additives will automatically be released at the appropriate time during the wash.
