SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

Wait until all motion stops.

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 or fibreglass. Sort and separate

clothes by fabric, 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 loading 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 use water which is hotter than 65 degrees Celsius

as this may deform plastic parts of the machine.

INSTALLATION

UNPACKING

• 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.

• Do not attempt to operate the machine while any of the packaging is still in place.

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.

• 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

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

achieve stability. An unstable machine will vibrate

and generate excessive noise.

DRAIN HOSE

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

of the machine and secure it with the hose clamp

supplied.

• 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.

CONVENTIONAL TAPS

Pull down the collar of the

inlet valve to separate it

from the water tap adaptor.

Loosen the four screws

in the water tap adaptor.

Fit the tap adaptor to the

tap so that the rubber seal

fits snugly. Then tighten

the four screws evenly.

WASHER

Open the water taps and check for any leaks. Tighten fittings if necessary.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

• 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.

The appliance must be earthed and the manufacturer and seller do not

accept responsibility for any damage due to incorrect electrical connection.

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 perimeter of the tub.

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

• 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, increased creasing

and excessive lint formation.
