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 Maximaid 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.
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loosen the four transport bolts ( C ) by turning them in an anti-clockwise direction until the bolts can be partially withdrawn.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 plastic plugs ( P ) supplied with the machine into the holes vacated by the transport fittings.
Note:
To prevent damage, the machine should be transported with 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.

FLOOR
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
B
1000
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
A
400
the 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 400 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.
Page 3
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.

1. Open the drawer.
2. Place detergent and softener in the appropriate compartment of the dispenser drawer, in accor­dance with the instructions on the manufac­turer’s pack
3. Detergent and additives will automatically be released at the appropriate time during the wash cycle.

Features
Quick Wash button
Selecting this feature will shorten the wash time for lightly soiled fabrics. Quick wash
may be used for cotton and synthetic programmes at temperatures below 60°C.
Rinse Plus
Selecting this feature will adds an extra rinse to the was cycle. This is particularly use-
ful for removing any residual detergent from absorbent fabrics.
Anti Creasing
Fewer articles of clothing should be loaded when selecting this function. Which en­ables special wash and spinning profiles to minimise creasing and wrinkles. This sig­nificantly reduces the amount of ironing required afterwards.
Spin speed selection
The desired spin speed may be selected up to a maximum of 1200 rpm. If you do not require any spinning, select the NO SPIN option.
Rinse and Hold
Selecting this feature will stop the machine during the final rinse cycle with water in the tub. This prevents drip-dry, permanent press and wool articles from creasing caused by waiting in a ‘dry’ machine before being removed. To complete the pro­gramme, press the START / PAUSE / CANCEL button, select the desired spin speed and press the START / PAUSE / CANCEL button once more.
Detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser has 3 compartments.( see page 4).
Use only low foam detergents specifically designed for front loading automatic wash­ing machines. Dose as per the manufacturer’s recommendations on the detergent pack.
Dosage may vary according to wash load, dirt and water hardness.
Wash programme selector.
Turn the knob to select the desired programme.
Door
Open the door by pushing the DOOR OPEN button. Close the door by pushing firmly until it clicks
into place.
Note: The door locks during the wash cycle. Switch the machine off and allow 1 to 2 minutes for the safety lock to disengage. Thereafter the door may be opened.

Helpful hints
Sort washing by material type.
Adhere to garment label washing instructions.
Fasten zips to prevent them snagging other articles.
Mend loose seams and tears before washing.
Secure all loose buttons.
Empty all pockets of coins and loose objects.
Secure or remove brassiere wires.
Wash small articles such as socks, handkerchiefs and delicate underwear in a wash
bag or pillow slip. This will prevent tangling.
Treat any stains before washing.
Test fabrics for colourfastness before washing.
Wash new denim separately as colours may run.
Wash new bulky articles such as quilts and sleeping bags individually. For best re-
sults use the WOOL programme.
Do not wash articles which have been soaked in paint, petrol, thinners, or other
flammable liquids.
Do not wash rubberised articles such as rain coats and training shoes.

Care and maintenance
Detergent Dispenser
To remove residual detergent, pull the dispenser drawer outward, press on the marked area of the siphon, and pull the drawer free. Wash the dispenser and the housing in water before re-inserting the dispenser.
Siphon
To prevent clogging, the siphon ( the coloured component in the dispenser ) should
be cleaned after every 30—40 washes. Grasp the edges and pull the siphon free. Clean away any residual softener and carefully re-fit the siphon.
Cleaning the pump filter
A filter prevents foreign objects from entering and damag-
ing the pump. This filter should be cleaned after every 30­40 washes.
First disconnect the machine from the power supply.
Press on the marked area of the filter cover to open it.
Remove the small coloured plug from the drain hose and
empty the drain water into a suitable receptacle placed on the floor below the hose. When all the drain water has dis­charged, replace the plug.
Unscrew and remove the filter. Some residual water may
leak onto the filter cover.
Remove any debris and clean the filter before replacing it
Mop up any spillage and close the filter cover.

General Cleaning
On no account use benzene or other solvents to clean
the cabinet, door or rubber of the machine. A damp cloth will normally suffice. If desired, a good wax polish may be used on the
painted parts of the cabinet.
