THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING DEFY

You are now the proud owner of one of the finest and most modern washing machines

that today’s technology can produce. You and your Automaid are going to make a great

team together. But first it will pay if you really get to know each other. This book 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.

INSTALLATION

Packaging

All packaging must be removed from the machine

This includes the base packaging which incorporates a polystyrene motor support.

Failure to do so will hamper the removal of the transport brackets.

Transport fittings

The wash drum is secured during transport to prevent damage. Before using the machine,

the transport fittings must be removed as follows.

1. Turn each of the three fittings a quarter turn to the left (90 degrees –anticlockwise) to

loosen them. If difficulty is experienced, a screw driver may be inserted through the

hole in the fitting handle to improve leverage.

2. Do not attempt to remove the fittings until all three have been loosened in the manner

described above.

3. Once all the fittings have been loosened, remove them by pulling them away from the

rear panel.

4. Store the fittings for future use should the machine require relocation..

5. Insert the three plastic plugs supplied with the machine into the holes to cover them.

TRANSPORT FITTINGS

STEPS 1 AND 2

STEP 3

REAR OF MACHINE

Note: The machine should not be transported without the transport fittings securely

in place. To achieve this, remove the lid to gain access to the locating keyways.

Insert and turn the transport fittings a half turn clockwise to secure them and

replace the lid.

Levelling

1. The machine must stand firmly on the floor. Any instability will negatively affect its

performance when in use.

2. The machine has two fixed feet at the rear and two adjustable feet at the front.

3. To level the machine, loosen the lock nuts on the adjustable feet using a 17 mm

spanner.

4. Rotate the feet until the machine stands firm and level.

5. Then tighten the lock nuts firmly.

6. Caution: Never remove the lock nuts and feet from the machine.

Connecting to the water supply

1. Connect the inlet hose to a 3/4 inch BSP cold water tap.

2. Do not over tighten as you may damage the seal

Water drainage

Draining into a dedicated outlet pipe

1. The outlet pipe must have an inside diameter of at least 40 mm.

2. The end of the pipe should be positioned no less than 500 mm. And no more than

1000 mm. above floor level.

3. Securely hook the end of the drain hose into the outlet pipe.

Draining into a sink or bath

1. The drain hose may be

hooked over the edge of a

sink or bath in such a way

that the end cannot be

immersed in the collected

waste water.

2. The outlet end of the hose

must not be less than 500

mm and not more than 1000

mm. above floor level.

then set the control to 40ºC.

NOTE:

IF THE MACHINE IS TO BE OPERATED AT THE RECOMMENDED WASH

GUIDE TEMPERATURES, SET THE TEMPERATURE SELECTOR KNOB AT

85°C.

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

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Switch off the power at the wall socket. Do not touch the plug with wet hands

2. Close the water tap after the completion of the wash cycle.

3. Wipe the inside of the wash drum and rubber door seal with a soft dry cloth after

completion of the wash.

4. Should the cabinet need cleaning, wipe it with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive

powders, solvents or scouring pads.

5. Traces of old detergent in the detergent dispenser should be removed periodically as

these could obstruct the flow of water into the machine.

The detergent drawer may be removed to

facilitate cleaning and rinsed under a stream

of hot tap water.

Remove the drawer as follows:

1. Pull the drawer out until it stops against

the built in lip at the back of the drawer.

2. A firm action is required to push the bottom of the drawer upwards far enough for the

lip to clear the frame whilst simultaneously pulling the drawer free from the machine.

3. After rinsing, replace the drawer by first locating the lip behind the frame and then

sliding the drawer into the guide channels on either side until it is closed.

ON NO ACCOUNT USE BENZENE OR OTHER SOLVENTS TO CLEAN THE

CABINET, DOOR OR RUBBER OF THE MACHINE. A DAMP CLOTH WILL

NORMALLY SUFFICE OR IF DESIRED A GOOD WAX POLISH MAY BE

USED ON THE METAL PARTS OF THE CABINET
