What error codes can appear on the display and what do they mean?
The washer displays several error codes: water pressure sensing error, problem of overfilling water, door not closed, overload in motor (two separate codes), water inlet trouble, drainage trouble, unbalanced load, and water temperature trouble. If any of these error codes appear, you should refer to the troubleshooting guide for guidance on resolving the issue. (Page 19)
2
How do I remove the transit bolts before using the washing machine for the first time?
Before operating the washer, you must remove 4 transit bolts along with their rubber bungs by unscrewing them with the supplied spanner and slightly twisting the bungs. After removal, close the holes with the caps supplied, and keep the 4 bolts and spanner for future use in case the machine needs to be transported again. Failure to remove the transit bolts may cause heavy vibration, noise, and malfunction. (Page 5)
3
What type of detergent should I use in this front loading washing machine?
You should use powder detergent only for this front loading washer. Do not use solvents such as benzene, and do not exceed the maximum fill line in the detergent drawer. Using too much detergent can cause excessive suds, which decreases washing results and may cause heavy load on the motor leading to malfunction. Adjust detergent usage based on water temperature, water hardness, and load size. (Page 12)
4
How does the Time Delay function work and how do I set it?
The Time Delay function allows you to set the machine to finish washing at a later time, with a minimum delay of 3 hours and a maximum of 19 hours. To set it, press the Power button, select your program, press the Time Delay button to set the desired time (each press advances by one hour), then press Start/Pause. To cancel the Time Delay, press the Power button. Note that according to water supply conditions and temperature, the delayed time and actual washing time may vary. (Page 17)
5
What should I do to prepare the washing machine if it will be stored in freezing temperatures?
Turn off the water supply tap, disconnect hoses from the water supply, and drain the water from the hoses. Add 1 gallon (3.8L) of non-toxic recreational vehicle (RV) antifreeze into an empty wash drum, then run a spin cycle for 1 minute to drain out the water. Unplug the power cord, dry the drum interior, remove and dry the dispenser drawer, and store the washer upright. When resuming use after storage, run an empty wash cycle with detergent to remove the antifreeze. (Page 22)
6
Why won't the door open immediately after the wash cycle ends or when paused?
The door will not open for 1 to 2 minutes after pausing or at the end of the wash cycle, as the electric locking mechanism needs time to release. Once the Start/Pause button is pressed and the cycle starts, the door cannot be opened for safety reasons. If you need to pause the cycle, press the Start/Pause button and wait 1 to 2 minutes before the door can be opened. Note that if the washer is in pause mode, power will automatically turn off after 4 minutes. (Pages 16, 24)

Dispenser drawer After a while detergents and fabric softeners leave a deposit in the drawer. ? It should be cleaned from time to time with a jet of running water. ? If necessary it can be removed completely from the machine by pressing the catch downward and by pulling it out. ? To facilitate cleaning, the upper part of the fabric softener compartment can be removed. The drawer recess Detergent can also accumulate inside the recess which should be cleaned occasionally with an old toothbrush. ? Once you have finished cleaning, replace the drawer and run a rinse cycle without laundry. The washing drum ? If you live in a hard water area, limescale may continuously build up in places where it cannot be seen and thus not easily removed. Over time the build up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check these may have to be replaced. ? Although the washing drum is made of Stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused by small metal articles (paper clips, safety pins) which have been left in the drum. ? The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time. ? If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for washing machine use. Descaler may contain chemicals that may damage part of your washing machine. Remove any spots with a stainless steel cleaning agent. Never use steel wool. max max Page 22
