FAQs
What is the maximum spin speed and what does it mean for drying?
The maximum spin speed is 1400RPM. A higher spin speed removes more water from your clothes, which significantly reduces the time needed for drying, whether you air dry or use a tumble dryer.
How do I choose the right wash programme?
The machine offers 15 programmes. Use the 'Cotton' programme for robust fabrics like towels and jeans, 'Synthetics' for blended fabrics, 'Delicates' for items like lingerie and silk, and 'Quick Wash' for lightly soiled items when time is short. Always check garment care labels.
Can I use this washing machine in a small utility room?
Yes, its compact dimensions (H:85cm x W:60cm x D:55cm) are designed to fit standard washing machine spaces. Ensure there is adequate ventilation.
How often should I clean the washing machine?
It is recommended to wipe the door seal and detergent drawer after each wash. A drum clean cycle should be run monthly, and the drain pump filter should be checked and cleaned monthly as well.
What does the 'Delay Start' timer do?
The delay start timer allows you to set the machine to begin its wash cycle at a later time, up to several hours in advance. This is useful for taking advantage of off-peak electricity tariffs or having laundry ready for unloading at a specific time.
Is the 76dB noise level considered loud?
A noise level of 76dB is moderate for a washing machine during its spin cycle. While noticeable, it is within typical operating ranges for many appliances. Placing the machine on a solid, level surface can help minimize vibration noise.
What is covered under the 2-year warranty?
The 2-year warranty typically covers manufacturing defects and faults that occur during normal domestic use. It's advisable to check the specific warranty terms and conditions provided by the manufacturer for detailed coverage information.
Troubleshooting
Washing machine does not start
Check if the power cord is plugged in securely. Ensure the door is fully closed. Verify that the delay start timer is not activated. Check your home's circuit breaker.
Excessive vibration or noise during spin cycle
Ensure the machine is level. Check that the transit bolts have been removed (if newly installed). Make sure the load is balanced within the drum. Avoid overloading.
Water not draining from the drum
Check if the drain hose is kinked or blocked. Clean the drain pump filter. Ensure the drain hose is at the correct height.
Washing machine is not filling with water
Ensure the water tap is turned on. Check that the water inlet hose is not kinked or blocked. Verify the water pressure is adequate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the washing machine is placed on a level, stable surface to prevent vibration.

- Attach the drain hose to a standpipe or plughole, ensuring it is at the correct height (usually between 60-90cm).
- Plug the appliance into a grounded electrical socket.
- Before the first use, run a drum clean cycle with a small amount of detergent to flush out any manufacturing residues.
Compatibility:
- This washing machine requires a standard cold water supply and a functional household drain.
- It needs a grounded electrical outlet (230V).
- Ensure you have adequate ventilation space around the machine, especially at the back.
Care:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Clean the detergent drawer regularly by removing and rinsing it under warm water.
- Drum Cleaning: Periodically run a hot wash cycle (e.g., 90°C Cotton program) with no laundry, using a washing machine cleaner or a cup of white vinegar, to prevent odor buildup and limescale.
- Filter Maintenance: The drain pump filter, located at the bottom front of the machine, should be checked and cleaned monthly to remove lint, coins, or other debris. Ensure the machine is unplugged and have a towel ready for residual water.
- Door Seal: Wipe the rubber door seal after each wash to remove moisture and prevent mold growth.
