OPERATING THE MACHINE
Loading the machine
It is important not to overload the machine as this will prevent it from washing properly.
You should be able to fit a hand between the top of the drum and the washload in the
drum.
The maximum recommended load of dry clothing that may be washed at one time in your
Automaid is 5kg.
Washing
1. Plug the machine in and switch on at the wall socket.
2. Open the water tap.
3. Check that the drain hose is in position and free of kinks.
4. Open the door.
5. Load washing into the machine, distributing it evenly and loosely in the drum.
6. Close the door.
7. Add detergents and additives to the relevant compartments in the detergent drawer
and close the drawer.
8. Rotate the programme selector knob in a clockwise direction to the desired
programme. Do not attempt to turn the knob back if the programme is inadvertently
bypassed, rather continue around the dial once more.
9. If desired, select a temperature cooler than the one specified for the selected
programme by turning the temperature control knob to the required setting. (See
variable temperature control on page 5.)
10. Select any of the desired option buttons as detailed in the wash guide.
11. Push the power ‘ON’ button
12. The indicator light will glow and the machine will commence with the selected wash
cycle.
NOTE:
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WASH LOAD AS DETAILED IN THE
WASH GUIDE
Unloading the machine
1. The machine will stop automatically at the end of the selected cycle.
2. Approximately 2 minutes after the completion of the cycle, the indicator light will
switch off. A few seconds thereafter the door lock will deactivate allowing the door to
be opened.
3. Open the door and remove the wash load.
4. Gently rotate the drum by hand to check if all the laundry has been removed
5. Leave the door slightly ajar to assist with drying and to prevent unpleasant odours
from forming
