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:

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.

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anti-clockwise direction until the bolts can be partially withdrawn.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 ac-

tion 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.

Installation

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 pro-

duce. 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.

Page 3

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.

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

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

the outlet pipe.

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.

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.

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 en-

ables special wash and spinning profiles to minimise creasing and wrinkles. This sig-

nificantly 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 pro-

gramme, 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 wash-

ing 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.

Operating the machine

Sorting the laundry

Sort the laundry in one of the following groups:

1. White cotton and linen as well as robust colourfast fabrics.

2. Synthetics and synthetic blends as well as non colourfast fabrics.

3. Delicate fabrics such as silks and rayon.

4. Wool.

Loading the machine

• It is important not to overload the machine as this will prevent it from washing prop-

erly. You should be able to fit a hand between the top of the drum and the wash load
