Stain Wand - Operating Instructions

This system was especially developed to assist in the day-to-day work of removing stains from your clothing. It works with ultrasound technology combined with water that emits vibrations that help loosen the stains from fabric, turning their removal easier when washing.

To use Stain Wand, make sure both power and water is turned ON in your machine.

1.Before using Stain Wand, first verify the fabric colour integrity by running the preliminary test below:

1.1Spray a small amount of water in a hidden area of the fabric;

1.2Pour a small amount of colourless liquid detergent;

1.3Apply Stain Wand (according to the instructions below) on this area;

1.4Wait until the fabric dries out and look for any signs of fading. If the colour didn’t change you may use the Stain Wand.

2.With the washing machine lid closed,

push “ ” and “Delay End” buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until “WATER” and “ON” buttons are lit.

The Stain Wand is ready for use.

3.The cable has a locking position when completely pulled out. Remove the Stain

Wand from its housing

and pull out cable completely and release so that it goes back and

locks at its intended locking position.

4.Remove any residue left over the stain by using a small brush. Place an absorbing paper or a clean cloth under the stain (this paper or cloth will absorb the dirt). Since the washing machine lid is closed, it may be used as working area.

5.Pour two drops of colourless liquid detergent on the stain.

Add more detergent if necessary (in case of persistent stains).

6.Push the button “WATER” and direct the water spray on the stain. Push the button “WATER” as many times as necessary to wet the stain. Repeat this procedure every time the stain dries out.

Stain Wand Tip

Water Spray

For better removal stain must always

remain wet when using the device.

7.Place the tip on the stain. While pressing and holding button “ON”, gently drag the tip on the stain in circular or “zig-zag” movements.

Place the tip on the stain

Fabric containing stain

Absorbing paper

or a clean cloth

You may hear a peculiar sound emitted when the ultrasound is working, this is normal. For best results the Stain Wand should work vertically.

8.As the stain goes “softer”, remove any excess dirt and water that eventually remains on the fabric by using an absorbing paper or a clean cloth. Change the paper/cloth under the stain every time it is too wet.

9.Repeat steps 5 to 7 if necessary.

Please Note: Some stains can not be removed 100%.

10.After use, return the Stain Wand on its housing by pulling the cable gently until it unlocks. As the cable retracts, place the Stain Wand back in its housing.

You can turn it off by pressing “ ” and “Delay End” buttons simultaneously.

7

ATTENTION

Do not use Stain Wand continuously for more than 5 minutes to avoid excessive heat and always keep the stain wet by spraying water during Stain Wand usage which also helps to cool down Stain Wand tip. For your safety, Stain Wand will switch off after 5 minutes of continuous use, but you can switch on again by pressing “ON” button.

Use colourless liquid detergent only.

Do not use coloured detergents or softeners. The colour of detergent or softener may stain your fabrics even more.

Clothes that carry symbols:

(do not wash at all), (do not bleach), do not iron) and (dry cleaning),

are not suitable for Stain Wand pretreatment.

NOTE

Depending on water supply pressure, you may need to press button “WATER” several times to inject water to make the stain wet enough.

To test the Stain Wand, please spray some water on lid by pressing button “WATER” and then operate Stain Wand tip on it by pressing button “ON”. If water splashes that means Stain Wand is functioning fine. If not, please contact Customer Service.

Out of Balance Interruption

The washing machine can stop during the spin stage of a wash because of an out of balance condition. The display will show “ ” and you will hear a short beep every minute.

Out of balance during spin is caused by an uneven distribution of clothes in the wash bowl.

To rectify the out of balance condition, open the lid and redistribute the clothes evenly in the space between the agitator and wall of the wash bowl. Closing the lid will start the machine and continue the spin stage of the wash.

If you have frequent out of balance interruptions, it may be due to your washing machine not standing firm and level on the floor. This can be corrected by adjusting the washing machine legs as described in the Installation Instructions supplied with your machine.

Power failure recovery

When there is power failure while machine is washing or rinsing or spinning. The machine tries to save the settings at which stage the machine is doing and then when the power returns back the machine shows “ ” on the digital display.

If the Program or any other setting is not changed within 5 seconds then the machine starts washing from the stage where it is left off.

Button Response and Lights

Always press buttons gently. Watch the lights on the control panel to see the effect pressing a button or turning a program selector knob has, and listen for ‘BEEPS’.

When you press a button you will get a short ‘BEEP’ to acknowledge the entry. If the option is not available at the time, the machine will not allow you to select it, and you will here the long ‘BEEP’ to remind you the option is not available.

After the machine has started, the entire wash option button will be disabled and machine will show “ ” on the display with three short beeps to indicate the button is disabled. The start button is still active but you need to press and hold the button for 1.2 seconds to pause machine.

8

This is to confirm that you really want to pause the machine. When in pause mode, all options will be able to be changed again.

All functions of the washing machine will stop when the lid is open.

Enabling/Disabling End-of-Wash Beeping Mode

This mode permits you to either enable or disable the beeping (4 beeps every 4 minutes) at the end of the wash. As an example, you might wish to disable this beeping when you start a wash when going to bed, so that when the wash finished approximately 1 hour later, it will not disturb you through the night.

NOTE: All error beeping is not disabled by this feature, such as a critical fault, or lid open during fill/agitate/spin, or out of balance during spinning.

To change the “beeping” selection:

1.When the washing machine in STAND-BY-MODE or PAUSE MODE, press and hold “Start/Hold To Pause” button for about 3 seconds to enter Enabling/Disabling End-Of-Wash Beeping mode.

The digital display will show “ ” when the end of wash beeping is enabled (this is the default factory setting).

The digital display will show “” when the end of wash beeping is disabled.

2.Press the “Modify Option ( , )” button to change the selection, then press the Start/Hold To Pause button to store the new selection.

NOTE: If you do not press a button within 5 seconds the washing machine will return to the previous setting. To reprogram, simply repeat the above process.

USE

Follow the instructions in this section for best washing results.

Sort Your Washing Into

Separate Wash Loads

Check your clothes to avoid damage

Empty all pockets. Close all hooks and zippers to avoid snagging clothes.

Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which you can purchase from your supermarket.

Each load of washing should contain clothing which needs the same washing conditions. For example, you should not wash delicate clothes with very dirty work clothes.

Colour fast and non-colourfast fabrics should be separated. Knowing the type of fabrics you have and how dirty they are will help when you make selections from the wash program options.

Some fabrics are lint collectors and can pick up lint, dirt and colour from other fabrics which are lint producers. Some examples are listed below:

Lint collectors	Lint producers
Corduroy	Towels
Synthetics	Nappies
Permanent press	Chenille/
fabrics	Candlewick

Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint producers.

Pre-treatment sprays and stain removers

Pre-treatment sprays and stain remover can damage plastic components on your washing machine.

If you use pre-treatment sprays or stain removers, apply them to the clothing well away from your washing machine.

Load the washing machine

When loading the clothes into your washing machine, there are four things to remember:

10

Clothes must be loaded evenly around the agitator. For best results load small items first, followed by large items.

Clothes must not be wrapped a round the agitator.

The washing machine must not be overloaded. Clothes must be able to move around during washing.

The load should contain only three or four large items, for example, sheets. The rest of the load should be small items. A mixed load of large and small items will wash cleaner than a load of all large items.

Add the detergent

When using the washing machine for the first time, check that the dispenser is set for the type of detergent you will use. To do this, proceed as follows:

1.Pull the dispenser drawer forward until it stops.

2.Lift the front of the drawer up and forward to remove it from the runners.

3.Check the position of the flap at the rear of the detergent compartment in the dispenser drawer. (Factory setting is flap up for powder.)

Detergent and fabric softener use

Don’t use the wrong type of detergent. You must use a low sudsing detergent designed for washing machines.

Don’t use soap-based products in your washing machine.

Measure the correct amount of powder or liquid detergent by following the recommendations on the package.

It is best to use detergent labelled low sudsing. Good quality, front load detergent will perform well in this machine.

Don’t use too much detergent. This will give you too many suds causing low spin speeds, poor rinsing and overloading the motor during spin stages of the wash program.

Do not spill fabric softener on the clothes as it may stain them.

Clip flap up for powder

4.Clip the flap down if you are going to use liquid detergent.

Clip flap down for liquid

5.Refit the dispenser back into its runners.

Remember: If you change the type of detergent you use, the position of the flap will need changing.

6.You are now ready to add detergent. Measure the amount you will use and pour it into the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.

11

When using liquid detergent, some may leak out of the dispenser into the wash load earlier than expected through small openings in the back of the dispenser. These openings are to help the flushing out of detergent.

7.If you want to use fabric softener, see “Add fabric softener”.

8.Close the drawer by pushing it backwards into the top panel of the washing machine when you have finished adding detergent.

Add Fabric Softener

1.Measure the correct amount of fabric softener by following the recommendations on the package.

2.If you are going to use intensive fabric softener, mix softener with an equal amount of warm water but only mix enough to fill to the line marked inside the cup. The softener cup holds 75ml.

3.Pour the mixed softener into the cup in the top of the agitator.

Do not overfill the cup.

4.Do not spill fabric softener on the clothes as it may stain them.

IMPORTANT: If you are going to use fabric softener, you must select the DEEP rinse option, i.e deselect the EXTRA or ECO or FAST rinse option. Also if softener is used frequently the machine must be flushed out regularly.

NOTE: You do not have to use fabric softener, your washing machine will wash the clothes perfectly well without it.

12

Adding Bleach

Bleaching of clothes can help to remove stains, heavy soiling and to kill bacteria.

Oxygen type - This is generally a powder type bleach. Mix the required quantity with water and pour down the hole in the top panel during the fill when there is some water in the wash bowl. Refer to the instructions on the bleach container.

Chlorine type - This type of bleach should not be mixed with detergent. Mix the bleach with water as per the instructions on the container.

To do this, proceed as follows:

1.Select the program “Regular Wash ” position.

2.Press the “Start/Hold To Pause” button to commence water fill.

3.Pour the bleach solution down the hole in the top panel during fill when there is some water in the wash bowl.

4.Allow the machine to agitate for a few minutes, then let it stand for the required time by press and hold the

“Start/Hold To Pause” button for 1.2 seconds to pause machine.

6.You can now wash the clothes load using detergent and your selected wash program.

NOTE: Bleach should not be used on silk, wool, rayon or drip dry clothes.

When you select the DRAIN+SPIN program, there will be a delay of at least 2 minute before the washing machine starts to spin.

This delay is a pump out (DRAIN) period to ensure the bowl is empty of water, which is necessary before spin commences.

Even though you may have only put wet clothes into an empty bowl, the delay before spin will still occur to be safe and to protect your washing machine.

Program Option Buttons

For most washes the machine automatically selects “Deep” rinse for you.

There are four rinses to choose from Fast rinse, Eco rinse, Deep rinse and Extra rinse.

Extra rinse, the machine fills twice, giving you two deep rinses.

Deep rinse the machine fills once, giving you one deep rinse.

Eco rinse is a spray rinse giving you maximum water saving.

Fast rinse uses less time then Eco rinse by performing only 3 Eco sprays but the amount of water in each spray is increased.

How does Eco Rinse work ?

When Eco rinse is used, rinse water is sprayed into the washbowl in pulses. After each pulse the washbowl will spin to remove detergent laden water from the clothes.

16

The machine will go through a series of maximum six pulse spray and short spin cycles in this manner, depending on program selection, followed by a final long spin that removes the water from the clothes to complete the full wash program.

Compare this with Deep rinse where much more water is used.

Deep rinse, water enters the machine filling up to the wash water level selected. The washer agitates and finally empties the rinse water through the drain hose.

Extra rinse, this is special option for those people who suffer from allergies, this extra rinse will provide two deep rinses to ensure all detergent residue has been removed.

Eco Rinse and Fast Rinse CANNOT be selected with Woollens and Bedding program.

Extra/Eco/Fast rinse is not designed to be used with fabric softener.

Select Deep rinse if you are going to use fabric softener.

Deep rinse ensures the fabric softener is correctly dispensed and thoroughly removed from your clothes during rinsing.

WASHING HINTS

Sorting The Laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions.

Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Before Loading The Laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.

New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers.

Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing.

Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care.

Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.

Removing Stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing.

Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing product used cold. Be careful with rust stains which are not recent since the cellulose structure will already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only).

Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only).

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone (*) as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics with bleach.

Tips For Stain Wand

Tomato Extract / Soy Sauce / Mud:

Warm up a small amount of water to approximately 40°C, wet the stain, pour two or more drops of liquid detergent, spread it over the stain and let it soak for approximately 5 minutes. After this time, apply Stain Wand according to the operating instructions and continue to pour warm water as needed.

Ketchup / Tomato Extract / Beans Broth: Prepare a solution of two measures of white vinegar with one measure of water. For example: for each tablespoon of water add two tablespoons of vinegar. Mix the solution and wet the entire stain. Apply Stain Wand according to operating instructions and keep wetting the stain with the solution as needed.

Red Wine: Wet the entire stain with cold water; pour two or more drops of liquid detergent; spread it over the stain and let it soak for approximately 5 minutes. After this time, apply Stain Wand according to operating instruction.

Best results are achieved on:

Fresh stains that are not completely settled;

Stains that were previously washed but not dried in a dryer nor ironed;

Small stains, localized in a small area of the garment.

Examples: drops and spills of drinks and/ or food; small stains caused by laying the garment on a dirty surface, etc.

Less efficient on:

Very concentrated or very old stains;

Stains that were previously washed and dried in a dryer or ironed;

Large stains, spread on a large area of the garment.

Detergents and Additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment.

Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.

Quantity Of Detergent To Be Used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:

you are washing a small load;

the laundry is lightly soiled;

large amounts of foam form during washing.

Cleaning Your Washing

Machine

To clean the inside and outside of your washing machine you should:

Wipe the surface with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water.

Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Never use solvents, aerosol cleaners, spray pack cleaners, glass cleaners, metal polishes, caustic materials, scourers or general household cleaners on or near the top panel and lid, control panel or other parts of your washing machine.

Cleaning Stains In The

Washbowl

Stains and residue in the washbowl can be caused by:

Metal objects such as bobby pins, dress making pins and nails.

Salt.

Body oils and grease from very dirty or sweaty clothes being deposited around the top of the washbowl.

Excessive foam during wash if incorrect or too much detergent is used.

Check all pockets before loading clothes into your washing machine.

Don’t leave wet clothing (especially swimwear) in the bowl for too long before you wash it.

How to clean the washbowl:

Wipe with a cleaning product which is suitable for stainless steel.

Oily deposits can be removed by wiping surfaces with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water.

Never use bleach cleaners or steel wool to clean the stainless steel washbowl.

HELPFUL HINTS IN DEALING WITH WASHING PROBLEMS

Residues On Washed Items

If you are experiencing residue on some clothes, the following tips will help:

Pre-mix the detergent thoroughly in warm water to improve the dissolving.

Reduce detergent dosage to between a 1/2 and 2/3 of the manufacturer’s standard recommendation to avoid over concentration (the lower water usage requires lower detergent usage).

Some residue may be re-deposited lint, so be careful to not have lint producing items in a load which has darker clothes.

Select Deep rinse or Extra rinse and NOT Eco and Fast rinse to help flush more particles away.

Some detergents have ingredients which do not fully dissolve and as a consequence, may leave white residue or particles evident on the surface of darker clothes in the finished wash load.

Similarly, some soils may not dissolve fully, resulting in residue evident on lighter coloured clothes.

Stained Clothes

Treat all stains as soon as possible. The longer you leave a stain the harder it will be to remove. Try soakers and stain removers first.

If you use pre-treatment sprays or stain removers, apply them to the clothes items in a well ventilated area away from your washing machine.

Use light strokes and don’t rub the stain remover into the fabric.

If you use a chlorine bleach, follow the instructions on the bottle and dilute it before putting it on clothing.

Test coloured fabrics on an inside seam for colour fastness before using any stain removers or bleaches.

Test synthetic fabric on an inside seam before using any chemicals or bleaches.

NOTE: Chemicals referred to for stain removal are available from your local supermarket, hardware store or the chemist.

Pre-treatment sprays and stain removers can damage plastic components on your washing machine.

Do no use dry cleaning fluids or solvents near your washing machine. These fluids will damage your washing machine and may cause an explosion.
