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.
Installation
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:
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loosen the three transport bolts ( C ) by turning them in an anti-clockwise direction until the bolts can be partially withdrawn.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.

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 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 outlet pipe.

Electrical connection
1. The power cord must be connected to a 15 amp earthed 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.
