FAQs
How do I register for the 5-year warranty?
You typically need to register your product online via the Teknix website within a specified period after purchase. Please check the warranty card included with your appliance or the manufacturer's website for exact details and timelines.
What is the benefit of the Inverter Motor?
The Inverter Motor is designed for greater durability, quieter operation, and improved energy efficiency compared to traditional motors. It also offers better control over the machine's movements.
Can I wash wool or delicate items in this machine?
This model features 15 versatile programs. While specific cycles for wool or delicates are not explicitly detailed in the product description, it's advisable to consult the user manual to determine if any of the existing programs are suitable or if hand-washing is recommended for such items.
How often should I clean the drum and filter?
It is recommended to run a drum cleaning cycle or a high-temperature wash monthly to maintain hygiene. The drain pump filter should be checked and cleaned every 1-2 months, or more frequently if you wash items that produce a lot of lint.
What is the maximum spin speed, and what does it mean?
The maximum spin speed is 1400 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). A higher RPM means the drum spins faster, extracting more water from your clothes, which leads to shorter drying times.
Does this washing machine have a child lock feature?
Yes, this model includes a Child Lock feature for safety, preventing unintended program changes or activation by children.
What are the physical dimensions of the machine?
The physical dimensions are 59.5cm (Width) x 66.0cm (Depth) x 84.5cm (Height).
Troubleshooting
Washing machine will not start
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the door is fully closed and the program is correctly selected. Verify that the water tap is open.
Excessive vibration or noise during spin cycle
Ensure all transit bolts have been removed. Check that the machine is on a level surface. Do not overload or underload the drum; distribute laundry evenly.
Water not draining from the drum
Check if the drain hose is kinked or blocked. Clean the drain pump filter for lint and debris. Ensure the drain hose is at the correct height (usually between 60-100 cm from the floor).
Washing machine is leaking water
Check that the inlet and drain hoses are securely connected and not damaged. Ensure the door seal is clean and intact. Verify the drain pump filter is correctly fitted.
Clothes are still too wet after spin cycle
Ensure the load is not too large for the selected program. Check that the spin speed selected is appropriate. Verify the drain hose is not blocked, preventing effective water extraction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
Requires a standard 220-240V, 50Hz power supply.
Standard cold water tap connection.
Requires adequate ventilation around the machine to prevent overheating.
Care:
Regular Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Clean the detergent drawer regularly to prevent build-up. Run a drum cleaning cycle (if available, or a high-temperature cotton cycle with no laundry) monthly to keep the drum fresh.
Filter Maintenance: Clean the drain pump filter periodically (usually located at the bottom front of the machine) to remove lint and debris that could cause blockages. Consult your user manual for specific instructions.
Load Balancing: Avoid overloading or underloading the machine, as this can cause excessive vibration and uneven spinning. Distribute laundry evenly within the drum.
Door Seal: Wipe the door seal after each wash to prevent mold and mildew growth.
