To start a wash cycle, first load your laundry into the drum. Add detergent to the dispenser. Close the door securely and select the desired wash program using the program selector dial. Press the start/pause button to begin the wash cycle.
If the washing machine does not start, ensure it is plugged in and switched on at the power outlet. Check that the door is closed properly. Also, ensure the water supply is turned on. If the problem persists, check the fuse or circuit breaker.
To clean the detergent dispenser, remove it from the washing machine by pulling it out gently. Wash it under warm water to remove any residual detergent or fabric softener. Use a soft brush to clean hard-to-reach areas, then dry it thoroughly before reinserting it.
Ensure the washing machine is level on the floor by adjusting the feet. Check if the load is balanced; redistribute the clothes evenly in the drum. Avoid overloading the machine. If the issue persists, inspect the transit bolts and ensure they are removed if the machine is new.
It is recommended to clean the washing machine filter every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage. This helps prevent blockages and maintain efficient operation.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the detergent dispenser, checking and cleaning the filter, inspecting hoses for leaks or cracks, and running a drum cleaning cycle once a month using a washing machine cleaner.
To reduce energy consumption, use cold water wash cycles whenever possible, only run full loads, and choose eco-friendly wash programs. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning filters and checking hoses, also helps maintain energy efficiency.
Run an empty cycle with hot water and a cup of white vinegar or a washing machine cleaner to eliminate odors. Ensure the drum is dry after each use by leaving the door open for ventilation. Regular cleaning of the detergent drawer and drum also helps prevent odors.
To prevent mold and mildew, leave the door and detergent drawer open after each wash to allow the interior to dry. Regularly clean the rubber door seal and run a monthly cleaning cycle with an appropriate cleaner.
Error codes indicate specific issues with the washing machine. Refer to the user manual to identify the meaning of the code and follow the recommended troubleshooting steps.
