Thank you for choosing Defy

Congratulations, you have purchased one of the finest and most modern washing machines that today’s technology can produce. This manual will tell you all you need to know about your machine, what it will do and how to do it.

Please read all the instructions carefully before operating the machine.

Your machine is fitted with a smart drive directly driven motor the advantages of which are:

∙ High torque at low rpm.

∙ Increased efficiency: The power is not wasted in friction (from a drive belt or gearbox.)

∙ Reduced noise: Being a simpler device, a directly-driven mechanism has fewer parts which could vibrate, and the overall noise emission of the system is consequentially lower.

∙ Longer life: Having fewer moving parts also means having fewer parts prone to failure.

Other features are:

∙ “A” Energy rated.

∙ Advanced electronics: Sensors determine the optimum water level and wash duration.

∙ Perforated drum paddles: “Rain” action completely dissolve detergents thereby improving both the wash and rinsing performance.

∙ Safety lock: Prevents unintentional opening of the machine

Installation

UNPACKING

∙ Carefully remove all packaging from the machine and accessories.

∙ Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner.

∙ Plastic bags should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally suffocating.

∙ If the appliance is damaged in any way, do not use it. Report the damage to your dealer, who will take the necessary corrective action.

TRANSPORT FITTINGS

The wash drum is secured by three bolts to prevent damage during transport .

If these bolts and associated rubber sleeves are not removed before use, it will result in excessive vi- bration, noise and possible malfunction.

To remove the transport fittings proceed as follows:

Unscrew the 3 bolts at the back of the machine using a spanner. Remove the bolts and rubber grommets.

Keep the transport fittings for future use.

To prevent damage, the machine should be transported with the transport fittings securely in place.

∙ Insert the 3 plastic plugs, supplied with the machine, into the holes vacated by the transport fittings.
