ADVANTAGES OF TUMBLE WASH

q MOST EFFECTIVE CLEANING AS THE CLOTHES PASS THROUGH

SOAPY WATER AND ALSO FALL ON SOAP SOLUTION IMPROVING
WETTING OF CLOTHES.

q RESEMBLES THE THUMPING AND RUBBING ACTION OF GENTLE

HAND WASH.

q USES LESS WATER COMPARED TO TUB TYPE TOP LOADERS.
q LESS WATER MEANS LESS DETERGENT AND ELECTRICITY

CONSUMPTION.

q WASHING IS EFFECTIVE BY DETERGENCY, SOAKING, HEATING,

TUMBLING AND SQUEEZING.

q GIVES BETTER DRYING EFFECT BY SPINNING.

ADVANTAGES OF TUMBLE WASH

AQUA ENERGIE

AQUA ENERGIE series machine deploys a specialized physical treatment
device to improve the quality of water. The effect is more visible in
hard waters areas.
The special device is a part of the water in take system.
It breaks the bi-carbonates in water into miscroscopic crystals and reduces
tendency of the crystals to stick to any surface.
This in turn makes the crystals flow with water and improves the power
of detergents solution. The reduced surface tension of the treated water
facilitates wetting of clothes and improves detergents action.

ADVANTAGES* OF AQUA ENERGIE.
Reduced scaling on components such as Heater & Tub.
Reduction in detergent consumption.
Reduction in detergent traces in washed clothes.
Improvement in wash quality.

*Depend on hardness of water supplied to the machine.

9. PLEASE DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE TILL TRANSIT BOLTS HAVE BEEN
REMOVED.

INSTALLATION

1. Make sure there is a 16 amp. 3-pin electrical point preferably with a 16 amp.

fuse, within 1 meter of the machine. Make sure it has proper earthing.

2. Fixed plumbing is recommended for

the machine. The water inlet of the
machine has a collar with3/4”parallel
internal threads. The water supply
point with an external 3/4” parallel
thread should be available within1
meter of the machine’s location.

4. Please inform our service centre for installation and demonstration of the

machine once the points mentioned above have been completed.

3. Two options on the water inlet and drain

pipe connection are shown. In case these
possibilities do not exist for the drain pipe,
please arrange an additional length of pipe.

1. MAKE SURE THAT THE MACHINE RESTS ON ALL
FOUR FEET ON A LEVEL SURFACE.Adjustable
screws are provided at the bottom to allow
levelling.

2. Loosen securing nut. Adjust the screw to change
level. Tighten securing nut to ensure that screw is
locked into place.

3. MACHINE SHOULD BE LEVELLED AGAIN IN CASE
IT IS MOVED TO A NEW SITE.

1. A drain pump is provided in the machine to pump out
used water.

2. The end of the outlet should be placed near a drain. If
necessary, it can be placed over the edge of a sink
at a maximum height of 1 mt. from the floor level.

3. Allow free flow of water from the outlet pipe.

1. Check that the electrical line can take the required
load.

2. Connect to a 220V, 50 Hz single phase AC supply.

3. Machine must be earthed properly before
operation. This can be done by using a 3 pin plug
and properly earthed socket of 16 ampere rating.

4. Ensure that there is a firm connection between the 3
pin plug and socket, else it may result in sparking and
subsequent failure of 3 pin plug.

5. Use of extension cord not recommended.

AUTOMATIC DETERGENT DISPENSER TRAY

Designed for automatic dispensing of detergent &
additives as required,which avoids manual filling at each
stage. The Detergent Dispenser Tray should be filled (with
detergent and additives) before the start of a programme.
The tray has three chambers.

1. Pre-wash chamber:(Marked-I), to be filled with

detergent in case a pre-wash programme has been
chosen or heavily soiled clothes are being washed.

2. Main wash chamber: (Marked-II), requires detergent

for every wash programme.

3. Fabric conditioner additives chamber: (Marked ),

to be used for additives only. It should be filled as per
instructions under “Operation”. The detergent tray
must be pulled out, filled as required and shut
before the machine is switched on.

SELECTOR BUTTONS
ECO Button

q This option is for enviromental friendly and

energy saving operation of washing.

q With Eco button pressed, the mechanical

tumbling action during wash is considerably
increased in such a way that at lower
temperature and power consumption the same
quality of wash is achieved as that with high
temperature and less mechanical tumbling
action. Refer ‘Programme Selection chart’

q In cotton Wash Programme the Eco button gives

more vigorous wash action when pressed and
gentle wash action when released.

q In EASY CARE programme the Eco button gives

medium vigorous wash action when pressed
and gentle wash action when released.

q This button is not effective in woollen

programme.
