A 9KG capacity is ideal for medium to large households (e.g., families of 3-5 people). It can comfortably handle a full load of bedding, towels, or a week's worth of clothes for a smaller family.
The Steam Wash introduces steam into the drum, which penetrates fabrics to loosen dirt, sanitize by killing 99.9% of bacteria, and reduce allergens. Use it for heavily soiled items, baby clothes, delicates needing sanitization, or to refresh clothes without a full wash.
A Class B rating signifies excellent energy efficiency, meaning the machine consumes less electricity during operation. This translates to lower utility bills and a reduced environmental footprint, saving approximately 25-30% more energy than a Class D appliance.
It is recommended to use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent specifically designed for modern washing machines. HE detergents produce fewer suds, which is crucial for machines with low water usage, preventing excessive sudsing that can affect performance and residue buildup.
For optimal performance and hygiene, we recommend a deep clean (maintenance wash) once a month. The detergent drawer and door seal should be wiped clean after every few washes, and the pump filter checked every 2-3 months or as needed.
> Info needed: Specific dimensions (width, depth, height) of the washing machine for accurate planning.
The 1400 RPM (revolutions per minute) spin speed is considered high, meaning it extracts more water from your clothes during the spin cycle. This results in significantly reduced drying times, whether air-drying or using a tumble dryer, saving energy and time.
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Verify water supply taps are open.
Ensure the machine is perfectly level by adjusting its feet. Confirm that all transport bolts have been removed. Avoid overloading or underloading the machine; redistribute the laundry inside the drum.
Check if the drain hose is kinked or blocked. Clean the pump filter, often located at the bottom front of the machine, as it might be clogged with lint or foreign objects. Ensure the drain hose is not inserted too far into the standpipe.
Ensure you are using the correct amount of detergent for your load size and water hardness. Avoid overloading the machine, allowing clothes to move freely. Clean the detergent dispenser drawer to remove any blockages. Consider using the Steam Wash for stubborn residues.
Run a hot maintenance wash with a washing machine cleaner or a cup of white vinegar. Always leave the door slightly ajar after a wash cycle to allow the drum to air dry and prevent mold growth in the drum and door seal. Clean the detergent drawer and door seal regularly.
> Important: For best results and safety, professional installation is recommended.
This washing machine is designed to be compatible with standard household water and electrical supplies. Its ultra-thin design is particularly beneficial for homes with limited space in laundry rooms, kitchens, or bathrooms.
