Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is SpaceMax technology?
SpaceMax technology allows the washing machine to have a larger internal drum capacity (11 kg in this case) without increasing its external dimensions, meaning you can wash more laundry in a single load while maintaining a standard machine size.
How does ecobubble technology save energy?
ecobubble technology mixes air, water, and detergent to create a rich, bubbly foam that penetrates fabrics faster than conventional washes. This allows for effective cleaning at lower temperatures (e.g., 20°C), significantly reducing energy consumption compared to hot water washes.
How often do I need to refill the AutoDose dispenser?
With the `AutoDose` system, you typically need to fill the dispenser once, and it will automatically add the correct amount of detergent for up to 16 loads. For an average household, this could mean refilling approximately once a month, depending on your washing habits.
Can I use powder detergent with the AutoDose feature?
The `AutoDose` system is designed for liquid detergent and fabric softener. If you wish to use powder detergent, you will need to add it manually to the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer for each cycle.
What is the SmartThings AI Energy Mode?
The `SmartThings AI Energy Mode` is a smart feature that helps you monitor and reduce your washing machine's energy consumption. By connecting to the SmartThings app, it can optimize wash cycles and provide insights to help you save up to 70 percent on energy usage.
How long does a Super Speed cycle take?
The `Super Speed` cycle is designed for quick washing, completing a full load of laundry in just 39 minutes, making it ideal when you need clean clothes fast.
Is this washing machine suitable for people with allergies?
Yes, the `Hygiene Steam Wash` cycle is highly beneficial for allergy sufferers. It uses steam to remove up to 99.9 percent of bacteria and allergens from your clothes, ensuring a deeper and more hygienic clean.
Troubleshooting
Washing machine won't turn on or start a cycle
Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Verify that the water supply taps are open. Check for any error codes displayed on the control panel.
Excessive vibration or noise during spin cycle
Make sure the machine is perfectly level; adjust the leveling feet if necessary. Check that all transit bolts have been removed. Ensure the laundry load is balanced and not overloaded.
Water not draining or clothes are still wet after cycle
Inspect the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the drain pump filter, usually located at the bottom front of the machine. Ensure the 'No Spin' option hasn't been accidentally selected.
Detergent residue left on clothes or in the dispenser
Use the recommended amount of detergent; `AutoDose` helps prevent overuse. Ensure water pressure is adequate for rinsing. Clean the detergent drawer regularly to prevent blockages. For `ecobubble`, ensure you're using a low-foaming detergent if bubbles are excessive.
Unpleasant odor from the drum
Run a `Drum Clean` cycle or a hot wash with white vinegar once a month. Wipe down the door seal after each wash and leave the door ajar between uses to allow ventilation. Ensure the drain pump filter is clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and transit bolts from the rear of the machine. Keep the transit bolts in case you need to move the machine in the future.
Placement: Position the washing machine on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the machine for ventilation and connections.
Connections:
Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap.
Securely attach the drain hose to a standpipe or sink drain.
Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
Leveling: Use a spirit level to ensure the machine is perfectly level by adjusting the feet at the bottom. This prevents excessive vibration and noise during operation.
Initial Run: Before the first load of laundry, run an empty wash cycle (e.g., a "Drum Clean" or hot water cycle) to flush out any manufacturing residue.
AutoDose Setup: Fill the `AutoDose` dispenser with your preferred liquid detergent and fabric softener. Refer to the manual for maximum fill lines.
WiFi Connection: Download the `SmartThings` app on your smartphone. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your washing machine to your home WiFi network for remote control and `AI Energy Mode` features.
Compatibility
Power: Ensure your home electrical supply matches the machine's requirements (check the rating label, typically 220-240V).
Water Pressure: The machine requires standard domestic water pressure.
Detergent: Compatible with both liquid and powder detergents. For `AutoDose`, only liquid detergent and fabric softener are recommended.
Care & Maintenance
Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth regularly. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Drum: Run a `Drum Clean` cycle (if available) or a hot wash with no laundry and a cup of white vinegar monthly to prevent mold and odors.
Detergent Drawer: Periodically remove and clean the detergent drawer to prevent residue buildup, which can cause blockages or dispense issues.
Drain Pump Filter: Clean the drain pump filter every few months. This is typically located at the bottom front of the machine and traps small items like coins or lint.
Door Seal: Wipe the rubber door seal after each wash to prevent mold and mildew growth. Leave the door slightly ajar between washes to allow air circulation.
AutoDose System: If using `AutoDose`, ensure to use compatible liquid detergents. Clean the dispenser periodically as per the user manual instructions.
Safety Information
Always unplug the machine before cleaning or maintenance.
Do not allow children or pets near the machine during operation.
Do not wash items contaminated with flammable substances.
