FAQs

What is the KG Detector and how does it work?

The KG Detector is an intelligent sensor that weighs your laundry load at the beginning of the cycle. It then automatically adjusts the water, time, and energy consumption to match the load size, ensuring optimal results and resource efficiency.

How does the Steam Cycle help with laundry?

The Steam Cycle injects steam into the drum to relax fabric fibers, significantly reducing creases and wrinkles in your clothes. This helps to make garments smoother and can minimize the need for ironing.

Can I wash and dry a full 9kg load in one go?

You can wash a full 9kg load, but the drying capacity is 6kg. For optimal drying results and to prevent overloading the dryer, you may need to remove some items from a very large 9kg wash load before starting the drying cycle.

How do I use the Smart Cycles with the hOn app?

Download the hOn app on your smartphone, connect it to your washer dryer via Wi-Fi, and then you can browse and download additional specialized wash programs directly to your appliance. This allows for customized care for various fabric types and laundry needs.

Is this washer dryer energy efficient?

For washing only, the appliance is A-rated for energy efficiency. However, for combined wash and dry cycles, it is D-rated. This means that while washing is efficient, the drying function consumes more energy compared to dedicated A-rated dryers.

What kind of detergent should I use?

Always use high-efficiency (HE) detergent, as recommended for most modern washing machines. Using too much or the wrong type of detergent can lead to excessive suds, poor cleaning, or machine malfunction. Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions for dosage.

How often should I clean the drain pump filter?

It is recommended to check and clean the drain pump filter every few months, or more frequently if you notice drainage issues. This prevents blockages from lint, coins, and other small items, ensuring efficient operation.

Troubleshooting

Washer dryer won't turn on or start a cycle

Ensure the appliance is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check your home's circuit breaker or fuse box. Make sure the door is fully closed and latched. Press the start/pause button firmly after selecting a program.

Clothes are not washing or drying properly

For washing, check if you're using the correct amount and type of detergent. Do not overload the machine beyond its 9kg wash capacity. For drying, do not overload beyond the 6kg dry capacity. Ensure the lint filter is clean and that the drain hose is not blocked or kinked. Select an appropriate drying program for the fabric type.

Excessive noise or vibration during operation

Check that the washer dryer is perfectly level using a spirit level and adjust the feet if necessary. Ensure all transit bolts were removed during installation. Avoid overloading the drum, especially with heavy items, as uneven distribution can cause imbalance. Ensure the appliance is not touching any other objects or walls.

Water not draining

Check the drain pump filter for blockages (coins, lint, etc.) and clean it. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked, obstructed, or installed too high. Confirm the water outlet is clear.

Error code displayed on the screen

Refer to your product manual for specific error code definitions and troubleshooting steps. Many error codes indicate specific issues like water supply, drainage, or door lock problems. If the manual doesn't help, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Automatic load sensing (KG Detector) for efficiency
  • Steam cycle reduces creases and ironing time
  • Expandable wash programs via hOn app for versatility
  • Convenient all-in-one wash and dry solution
  • Generous 9kg wash capacity

Cons

  • 6kg drying capacity is smaller than wash capacity, requiring potential splitting of larger wash loads for drying
  • Reliance on app for advanced 'Smart Cycles' may not appeal to all users

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and transit bolts from the rear of the machine. Retain transit bolts for future transportation.
  2. Placement: Position the washer dryer on a firm, level surface. Ensure there's adequate space around the appliance for ventilation and access. Adjust the feet to ensure it is stable and level.
  3. Water Connection: Connect the water inlet hose(s) to a cold water tap. For models with hot water inlet, connect accordingly. Ensure connections are secure to prevent leaks.
  4. Drainage: Securely connect the drain hose to a suitable drain pipe or standpipe, ensuring it's not kinked or obstructed.
  5. Power: Plug the appliance into a grounded electrical outlet.
  6. First Use: Before the first laundry load, run an empty wash cycle (e.g., a short rinse cycle) without detergent to clean the drum and remove any manufacturing residues.

Compatibility

This appliance requires a standard electrical outlet and plumbing connections for cold water and drainage. For app connectivity, a smartphone with the hOn app installed and a stable Wi-Fi connection are needed.

Care and Maintenance

  • Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Clean the detergent dispenser drawer regularly to prevent residue buildup.
  • Drum Maintenance: Occasionally run a hot maintenance wash cycle (e.g., a "Drum Clean" program if available, or a hot empty wash) to prevent odors and buildup.
  • Filter Cleaning: Check and clean the drain pump filter regularly, typically every few months, to remove lint and small objects.
  • Door Seal: Wipe the door seal after each use to prevent mold and mildew growth. Leave the door slightly ajar when not in use to allow air circulation.
  • Descaling: In hard water areas, consider using a descaling product periodically as recommended by the manufacturer to prevent limescale buildup.
