FAQs
What is the energy efficiency rating of this machine?
The Teknix TK2W814HW has an energy rating of D on the new European energy label scale.
How do I use the Time Delay function?
Select your desired wash program, then press the Time Delay button repeatedly to set the number of hours you want to delay the start of the cycle. Finally, press the Start/Pause button.
Can I add clothes mid-cycle?
This model does not feature an 'add garment' function once the cycle has started and the door is locked. For small items, it is best to wait until the next wash or use the quick wash option.
What is the purpose of the steam function?
The steam function helps to sanitize clothes, reduce allergens, and minimize wrinkles, making garments feel fresher and reducing the need for ironing. It can often be selected as an additional option on certain wash programs.
How often should I clean the drum?
It is recommended to run an empty hot wash cycle (e.g., 90°C Cotton program) with a washing machine cleaner or white vinegar once a month to keep the drum clean and prevent odors.
What are the dimensions of the washing machine?
The approximate dimensions are 850 mm in height, 595 mm in width, and 580 mm in depth.
Is this machine suitable for very large families?
With its 8 kg capacity, it is well-suited for medium to large households. For extremely large families or very frequent heavy laundry, a larger capacity machine might be considered, but this model offers a good balance for most family needs.
Troubleshooting
Washing machine does not start
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the door is fully closed. Verify that the water tap is turned on. Check if a program has been selected and the start button pressed. Look for any error codes on the LED display.
Excessive vibration or noise
Ensure the machine is level by adjusting the feet. Remove any transit bolts (if recently installed). Check that the load is balanced; redistribute items if necessary. Avoid overloading the drum.
Water not draining
Check that the drain hose is not kinked or blocked. Ensure the drain hose is at the correct height. Clean the pump filter at the bottom front of the machine; small items can get trapped here.
Door will not open
Wait for the cycle to complete and the door lock to disengage (usually indicated by an icon or after a short delay). Do not force the door. If the machine has a 'drain' or 'spin only' cycle, ensure it has finished. Check for residual water in the drum, as the door may not open if the water level is too high.
Poor washing performance
Ensure you are using the correct amount and type of detergent. Check that the load size is appropriate for the selected program; do not overload. Make sure the water tap is fully open and water pressure is adequate. Select a more intensive wash program if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Placement: Ensure the washing machine is placed on a firm, level surface to prevent vibration and noise. Check that the dimensions (H 850 x W 595 x D 580 mm) are suitable for your space.
Water Connection: Connect the inlet hose securely to a cold water tap and the machine's water inlet valve.
Drainage: Position the drain hose so it can discharge water freely into a standpipe or sink trap, ensuring it's at the correct height (typically between 60-100 cm).
Levelling: Adjust the machine's feet to ensure it is perfectly level. This is crucial for stable operation.
Power Connection: Plug the 3-pin UK plug into a suitable, earthed electrical socket. The machine operates on 220-240V, 50Hz.
Compatibility:
This is a freestanding front-loading washing machine.
Operates on standard UK domestic power supply (220-240V, 50Hz).
Requires a standard cold water tap connection.
Care:
Drum Cleaning: Run an empty hot wash cycle (e.g., Cotton 90°C) periodically (monthly) with a washing machine cleaner or a cup of white vinegar to remove residue and prevent odors.
Door Seal: Wipe the rubber door seal with a damp cloth after each wash to remove any lint or debris and prevent mold growth.
Detergent Drawer: Clean the detergent drawer regularly to prevent blockages and ensure proper dispensing of detergents and softeners.
Filter: Clean the pump filter (located at the bottom front of the machine) every few months to remove trapped items like coins or buttons that could impede drainage.
Exterior: Wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
