FAQs

Can I wash and dry 9kg of laundry at once?

No, the machine has a 9kg wash capacity but a 6kg drying capacity. For full auto-cycles, the load must not exceed 6kg.

How do I maintain the anti-bacterial properties?

Simply keep the soap drawer and gasket clean by wiping them after use; no special chemicals are required as the material is already treated.

Does this machine feature a delay start timer?

Yes, you can delay the start of your cycle for up to 24 hours.

Is the spin speed adjustable?

Yes, the machine features a variable spin speed to suit different fabric types.

What is the warranty period for this unit?

The unit comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty, with spare parts retention guaranteed for 10 years.

Troubleshooting

Machine fails to start

Ensure the door is firmly latched, the child lock is deactivated, and the plug is secure in a working outlet.

Excessive vibration during spin

Check that all transit bolts have been removed and the unit is perfectly level on the floor.

Clothes remain damp after drying

Ensure you have not exceeded the 6kg drying capacity and verify that the correct drying program was selected.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High wash capacity of 9kg accommodates large family loads
Extensive variety of 16 programs including multiple quick options
Energy efficient A-rating for washing cycles
Anti-bacteria protection maintains a hygienic environment
Quiet operation at 70dB across all functions

Cons

Drying capacity (6kg) is lower than the washing capacity (9kg)
Requires careful planning for full wash-and-dry cycles to avoid overloading
Limited to front-load freestanding installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: As a freestanding unit, ensure you have a level surface and appropriate proximity to water inlets and a drain. The unit measures 850mm (H) x 595mm (W) x 548mm (D).
Maintenance: Periodically run the dedicated Drum Clean cycle to remove detergent residue. Wipe down the door gasket and soap drawer regularly, as these are treated with anti-bacterial protection but still benefit from manual wiping.
Care: Use the Soft Drum feature to your advantage by avoiding overfilling, which allows clothes to move freely and prevents the wear often caused by overcrowding.
Compatibility: Ensure your electrical outlet is a standard 220-240V, Type G connection.
