To preclude the possibility of resultant personal injury, it is important that safe servicing practices be
observed. The following are examples, but without limitation, of such safe practices.
Before servicing, always disconnect the product from its electrical power source by removing the
product’s electrical plug from the wall receptacle or by removing the fuse (or tripping the circuit
breaker to OFF) in the branch serving the product.
Note: If a specific diagnostic check require electrical power be applied (e.g. a voltage or amperage
measurement, etc), reconnect electrical power only for the time required for such a check and
disconnect.
All electrical harness leads are properly dressed and secured away from sharp edges, high temperature
components (e.g. resistors, heater, etc) and moving parts.
Any non insulated current-carrying metal parts are secure and adequately spaced from all
non-current-carrying parts.
All electrical ground – both internal and external to the product are correctly and securely connected.
All water connections are properly tightened on appliance. All panels and covers are properly and
securely re-assembled.
WASHING PROCESS:
The degree of cleaning achieved in washing process is result of several interacting factors, which
provide energy to remove soil.
An optimum balance of these energies provide acceptable cleaning performance. If any one of this is
decreased, the other factors must be increased to maintain the same cleaning results.
MECHANICAL ACTION
Mechanical action like thumping helps in dislodging the dirt from fabric.
Mechanical action helps to expose more surface for wetting and detergent action.
Mechanical action improves distribution of clothes inside the drum.
Mechanical action in Front Loading Machine allows to use lesser water for effective wetting of
clothes.
TIME
DETERGENT
TEMPERATURE
At 40 – 50oC of water, active oxygen gets released from dissolved oxygen. This active oxygen
helps in pushing dirt particles from fabric.
Warmer water enhances detergent effectiveness. As the temperature of the water increases,
chemical reactions proceed at a greater speed.
Granular detergents are better dissolved in warm water.
The bacteria is killed at water temperature above 60oC resulting in hygiene washing
(disinfectant).
The temperature also expand, the mesh of fabric and loosens the grip over dirt particle embedded
within.

2. Water plus
“Water Plus” provides option for using 15-30% additional water during wash cycle. This option
is suitable for load more than 3 kg of light and medium soiled clothes, which are normally not
washed daily or having highly water obsorbing fabrics which are washed after relatively longer
duration of use like curtains, bed sheets, jeans etc.
3. Soak
Soaking facilitates action of detergent to dislodge the dirt particles from the clothes for better
wash quality. Upon pressing this button, the clothes remain stationary (soaked) in soapy water.
This option is used when the cotton/ synthetic clothes being washed are highly soiled or stained.
Soaking option is inbuit in woolen program.
4. Rinse hold
Rinse hold option gives flexibilities for delays in taking the clothes out sfter the end of
programme and minimizing formation of wrinkles, Rinse hold option holds water in tub at the
end of additive rinse cycle. Before taking the clothes, the button to be released for spin drying
operation.
5. Pre wash
The clothes are given a preliminary wash before main wash. At the end of the pre wash, the dirty
water is pumped out automatically. This option can be used when the cotton/ synthetic clothes
being washed are highly soiled, long wearing for e.g. outdoor sport wear, kitchen wear, jean etc.
6. Quick wash
With this option, the total duration of washing cycle is reduced by 20 to 35 mins approximately
depending on the program chosen. Also one rinse is skipped. Cotton & synthetic clothes which
are lightly soiled, once worn, undergarments, shirts, blouses, guest towels or less quality of
clothes (max 3 kg) are suited to be washed with this option.
7. Intensive wash
On pressing this button, the mechanical tumbling action during washing is increased to give more
vigorous action on clothes in cotton program. This option is suitable when the cotton/ synthetic
clothes being washed are highly soiled and long garments washed after long duration of use for
e.g. bed sheets, pillow covers.
8. Additional rinse
On pressing this button, an additional rinse is executed by the program to wash out any left over
detergent to give a better feel to the fabric. This option can be used in places of soft water or for
highly soiled clothes or rinsing delicate fabric, net curtains.
9. Time delay
Time delay indicates the time after which the program will start. This option is used when
delayed washing is preferred at your convenient time. The delay time can be set from 30 mins to
24 hrs. After time delay is over, the washing machine will automatically start the chosen program
and time required for completing the chosen program would be displayed.
Also to prevent any untoward incidents to you, additional protection is provided in which the
door can not be opened even if paused when the water temperature in drum is above 50oC or if
the washing machine is in rinse mode or if the washing machine is in spinning operation.
The spin cycle (intermediate and final spin starts with distribution of clothes. During distribution
the drum rpm is 80 – 90 due to which the clothes are facilitated to get aligned evenly in the
segment of drum.
The extent of imbalance is detected by the speed control unit through pulses generated by
tachogenerator. The spin speed is selected as per preset speeds for a detected imbalance load. In
case of heavy imbalance, the machine rotates at preset lower spin speed.
This type of control avoids adverse effect of imbalance load during spinning like over stressing
of bearings, excessive vibration, noise, premature wear/ tear of moving parts.
