Thank you for choosing Defy
Congratulations, you have purchased one of the finest and most modern washing machines that today’s technology can produce. You and your machine are going to make a great team together. But
first it will pay if you really get to know each other. This manual 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.
Some of its features are:
• Advanced electronics: Sensors determine the optimum water level and wash duration.
• Direct drive motor: Ensures an exceptionally smooth and quiet operation.
• Nano silver sterilization technology: Applying the attributes of silver (anti-bacteria) and carbon
(deodorization) nano particles, the wash compartment is selectively coated, ensuring a bacteria
free wash.
• Air bubble washing: Millions of generated air bubbles completely dissolve detergents thereby
improving both the wash and rinsing performance.
• Safety lock: Prevents accidental changing of pre-set programmes.
• Inclined drum: Ensures a better wash action and diminishes vibrations.
• Infrared drying technology: Kombomaid -washer dryer only
Installation
UNPACKING
• Carefully remove all packaging from the machine and accessories.
• Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner.
• Plastic bags should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally suffocating.
• If the appliance is damaged in any way, do not use it. Report the damage to your dealer, who will
take the necessary corrective action.
TRANSPORT FITTINGS
• The wash drum is secured by four bolts to prevent damage during transport .
• If these bolts and associated rubber sleeves are not removed before use, it will result in excessive
vibration, noise and possible malfunction.
• To remove the transport fittings proceed as follows:
• Unscrew the 4 bolts at the back of the machine, with the spanner
supplied.
• Remove the bolts and rubber grommets.
• Keep the transport fittings and spanner for future use.
• To prevent damage, the machine should be transported with the
transport fittings securely in place.
• Insert the four plastic
plugs, supplied with
the machine, into the
holes vacated by the
transport fittings.

POSITIONING THE MACHINE
• The machine must stand firmly on the floor. Any instability
will negatively effect its performance.
• To level the machine, loosen the plastic lock nuts on the ad-
justable feet using the spanner supplied. Rotate the feet until
the machine stands firm and level. Tighten the lock nuts
firmly. Never remove the lock nuts and feet from the machine.
• Do not place the washing machine in an area where the
temperature could drop to 0°C. Residual water in the pipes
could freeze and damage the machine.
• Ventilation openings should not be obstructed. Leave a space
of 20mm to the left and right of the machine and 100mm at the
back. Never place the machine on a carpet. This could prevent
air circulation and cause electrical components in the machine
to overheat.
• Do not place or store anything on top of the machine.
CONNECTING TO THE COLD WATER SUPPLY
• The water supply should deliver 8 to 80 litres per minute.
• Sealing washers are supplied and these should be fitted at
either end of the inlet hose.
• 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.
• Tighten both connections. Open the tap and check for leaks.
• We recommend that the tap be closed when the machine is not
in use.
CONNECTING TO THE DRAIN HOSE
Draining into a dedicated outlet pipe
• The outlet pipe must have an inside diameter of at least
40 mm.
• The end of the pipe must be positioned between 600 mm. and
1000 mm. above floor level.
• Secure the hooked end of the drain hose into the outlet pipe.
Draining into a sink or bath
• 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.
• The outlet end of the hose must be between 600 mm. and
1000 mm. above floor level.
• Please note: The outlet hose must be kept free of kinks or
restrictions as these will hinder the operation of the machine.
