Safety precautions

Before washing, check all clothes for loose buttons and tears.

Check pockets for coins, pins or other small articles.

Close zips and fasteners.

Wash small articles inside a pillow slip.

Do not wash clothes soaked in petrol, thinners, vegetable oil or any

other flammable liquids. Nor should any of these liquids be added to

the wash water as they constitute a fire hazard.

Only use the machine for washing fabrics. Do not attempt to wash

plastic, leather, chamois or fibreglass. Sort and separate clothes by fab-

ric, colour and degree of dirt.

Avoid spraying water on to the control panel and back of the machine.

Do not use detergents which are not specifically designed for top load-

ing automatic washing machines.

Do not allow children to play with or crawl inside the machine.

Supervise them closely when the washer is in use.

Always unplug the machine from the wall socket when it requires

cleaning or service. Only permit qualified persons to repair or install

parts in the washer.

Do not reach inside the tub while the machine is working.

Wait until all motion stops.

Do not use water which is hotter than 65 degrees Celsius as this may

deform plastic parts of the machine.

UNPACKING

• Do not attempt to operate the machine while any of the

packaging is still in place.

• Remove all packaging and dispose of it in a responsible

manner.

• Open the wash-tub lid and remove all the accessories

stored in the drum.

POSITIONING

• The machine should be installed in a well ventilated

place, away from direct sunlight.

• Hot and cold water taps should be located within 1 metre

of the inlet valves at the rear of the machine.

• Positioned the machine on a flat and stable uncarpeted

floor capable of supporting the fully loaded washer.

• An adjustable levelling foot is located at the right, lower

front of the machine and may be turned in or out to

achieve stability. An unstable machine will vibrate and

generate excessive noise.

• A plastic noise reduction panel is attached to the rear of

the machine. Remove this panel, tilt the machine for-

wards and slide the panel it into the retaining slots on

the base as per the directions engraved on the panel.

CONNECTING THE WATER INLET HOSES

• Connect the inlet hoses to threaded hot and cold water taps

and to the machine’s inlet fittings. Take care not to confuse

the hot and cold water inlets. The hot water inlet is col-

oured pink and the cold water inlet is coloured blue.

• If only one water tap is available, connect the inlet hose to

the blue, cold water coupling.

• Open the taps and check for leaks. Re-tighten couplings if

necessary.

ELECTRICALINSTALLATION

• The washing machine is designed to operate on a 230 Volt,

50 Hz, 15 Amp,AC power supply.

• The machine should be connected to an earthed 3 pin

wall socket.

• If the power-cord should ever need replacing, use only a

genuine cord available from the nearest Defy Service

Centre.

Installation

The appliance must be

earthed

and the manufacturer

and seller

do not accept respon-

sibility for

any damage due to in-

correct

electrical connection.

DRAIN HOSE

• Connect the drain hose to the drain outlet at the rear of

the machine and secure it with the hose clamp supplied.

• Fit the flexible hose guide.

• Hook the outlet end of the drain hose over the lip of a

sink or outlet pipe.

SINK OR LAUNDRY TUB DRAIN

• The top lip of the sink must be at least 860mm (A)

above floor level and not higher than 1300mm.

PIPE DRAIN

• The minimum inside diameter of the pipe drain should

be 30mm and the pipe should be able to drain 30 litres

per minute.

• The top lip of the pipe should be at least 860mm (B)

above floor level and not higher than 1300mm.

NOTES

• The Highest point of the drain hose should be be-

tween 1.0 and 1.3 metres above floor level. If it is not,

the machine will malfunction.

• The drain hose must pass through the hose guide

and not protrude more than 55mm from the end of

the guide. If necessary the drain hose may be

trimmed to suit.

Loading the machine

PREPARATION

• Close all zippers, snaps and hooks to prevent them from snagging other articles.

• Remove pins and other hard items to prevent them from scratching the machine.

• Empty all pockets and turn them inside out.

• Turn down cuffs and turn synthetic knits inside out.

• Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

• Treat spots and stains before washing.

SORTING

• Mix large and small items in each load.

• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones.

• Separate dark colours from light colours.

• Separate colourfast items from non-colourfast ones.

• Separate robust fabrics from delicate.

• Separate whites from colours

• Lift and fold the lid.

• Arrange the articles to be washed loosely round the pe-

rimeter of the tub.

• It is advisable to mix large and small items in each load.

• Load evenly as an off balance load may cause unnecessary vibrations.

• Select the appropriate load setting.

• Reduce wash time when washing a small load.

• Use a large load programme when washing permanent press garments. These items

need more space to move than heavy items such as jeans and towels.

• Do not overload the machine as this will result in poor cleaning, excessive creasing

and lint transfer from one garment to another..
