ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION • The washing machine is designed to operate on a 230 Volt, 50 Hz, 15 Amp, AC power
supply.
• The machine should be connected to an earthed 3 pin wall socket.
• If the power-cord should ever need replacing, use only a genuine cord available from
the nearest Defy Service Centre.
The appliance must be earthed and the manufacturer and seller do not
accept responsibility for any damage due to incorrect electrical connection.
PREPARATION
• Close all zippers, snaps and hooks to prevent them from snagging other articles.
• Remove pins, and other hard items to prevent them from scratching the machine.
• Empty all pockets and turn them inside out.
• Turn down cuffs and turn synthetic knits inside out.
• Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.
• Treat spots and stains before washing.
SORTING
• Mix large and small items in each load.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones.
• Separate dark colours from light colours.
• Separate colourfast items from non-colourfast ones.
• Separate robust fabrics from delicate.
• Separate whites from colours.
LOADING
• Lift and fold the lid.
• Arrange the articles to be washed loosely round the perimeter of the tub.
• Load evenly as an off balance load may cause unnecessary vibrations.
• Use a large load programme when washing permanent press garments. These items
need more space to move than heavy items such as jeans and towels.
• Do not overload the machine as this will result in poor cleaning, increased creasing
and excessive lint formation.
