To start a wash cycle, load your laundry into the drum, add detergent to the dispenser, select your desired wash program using the control panel, and press the start button.
Ensure that the appliance is properly plugged in and the door is closed securely. Check the fuse or circuit breaker and ensure that the water supply is turned on.
Remove the detergent drawer by pulling it out gently. Rinse it under warm water to remove any residue. Use a soft brush for stubborn deposits before reinserting it into the machine.
Regularly clean the detergent drawer, door seal, and filter. Run a maintenance wash with a drum cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and baking soda monthly. Ensure the machine is level to prevent excessive vibration.
Check if the machine is level and adjust the feet if necessary. Ensure the laundry load is balanced and not overloaded. Consider redistributing the clothes evenly inside the drum.
Inspect the door seal for damage or debris. Check hoses for leaks or loose connections. Ensure the detergent drawer is not overfilled, causing overflow.
Noises may be caused by foreign objects in the drum or pump. Check for loose items. Ensure the machine is level, and inspect the drum for signs of wear or damage.
Check the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the pump filter if it's clogged. Ensure the drain hose is installed at the correct height and not submerged in water.
Refer to the user manual for program descriptions. Select a gentle cycle for delicate fabrics, a normal cycle for regular cottons, and a heavy-duty cycle for heavily soiled items.
Common error codes include F01 (electrical fault), F05 (drainage issue), and F08 (heater fault). Refer to the user manual for a full list of codes and troubleshooting steps.
