FAQs
What is the difference between the wash capacity and the dry capacity?
The wash capacity is 9kg, meaning it can wash up to 9kg of dry laundry. The dry capacity is 6kg, meaning it can effectively dry up to 6kg of laundry after washing. It's recommended not to exceed the dry capacity when using wash and dry combined cycles.
How does the Anti-Stain technology work?
Anti-Stain technology uses specific drum movements, water temperatures, and spin speeds tailored to tackle up to 24 common household stains without needing pre-treatment. It optimizes the washing process for effective stain removal.
Is this washer dryer suitable for small spaces?
Yes, it's an ideal space-saving solution as it combines both washing and drying functions into a single appliance, eliminating the need for a separate dryer.
What is the energy rating for this appliance?
The energy efficiency rating for washing only is 'A'. For combined wash and dry cycles, the rating is 'D'. For maximum energy efficiency, consider washing and drying separately or air-drying where possible.
How often should I clean the filters?
The fluff filter should be cleaned after every drying cycle. The drain pump filter should be checked and cleaned periodically (e.g., every few months) as per the instruction manual to ensure proper drainage and prevent issues.
Can I wash and dry a full 9kg load at once?
While you can wash a full 9kg load, the drying capacity is 6kg. For combined wash and dry cycles, it is best to reduce the load to 6kg to ensure optimal drying performance and efficiency.
What does the 'Full Load 45'' cycle do?
This cycle allows you to wash and dry a full 9kg load of laundry in approximately 45 minutes, providing a very fast solution for large laundry needs.
Troubleshooting
Appliance will not start.
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the socket is live. Ensure the door is fully closed and the start button has been pressed. Check if a delay start timer is activated.
Water is not draining.
Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or blocked. Clean the drain pump filter located at the bottom front of the machine.
Excessive vibration or noise during spin cycle.
Verify that the machine is level using the adjustable feet. Ensure transit bolts have been removed if this is a new installation. Check that the load is balanced within the drum.
Clothes are still too wet after spin.
Check that the selected spin speed is appropriate for the fabric type. Ensure the load is not too large for the selected cycle. Clean the fluff filter if drying performance is also affected.
Drying function not working effectively.
Ensure the drying load does not exceed the 6kg capacity. Clean the fluff filter and condenser unit (if applicable and accessible) as per the manual. Select an appropriate drying program.
