Getting Started With Your Machine

Installing your machine & safety guidelines

Select the right spot

Unpack and place the new washing machine in proximity to both water and electrical connections. Ensure that the floor is properly levelled.

Removing the transit bolts

Use a spanner to remove the transit bolts.
Insert plastic caps provided.
Keep the transit bolts carefully as they will be required in case you need to shift the machine again.
Please do not operate the machine until the transit bolts have been removed.

Leveling

Level the machine by using the adjustable screws provided at the bottom for levelling.
Make sure that the machine rests on all four feet on a level surface.

Connection to the water supply

The water inlet of the machine has a collar with parallel internal threads.
The water supply point with an external thread/parallel thread should be available within 1 metre of the machine location.
Do not stretch the water supply hose.

Connection to the drain hose

The machine drains via a drain pump.
Direct the end of drain hose into a sink or a basin.
The drain hose should not be placed higher than 1 00 cm and not lower than 60 cm above the floor.

Electrical connection

It is mandatory to have a 16 Amp, 3 pin 220-240 V AC, 50 Hz electrical point with a 16 Amp MCB or automatic short circuit protection device within 1 metre of the machine.
Make sure your home has proper earthing and there is a firm connection between the plug and the socket. IFB recommends a separate MCB on the socket of the washing machine.
Proper earthing of the power socket is critical to reliable performance.

Tips for best results

Before washing

Empty all pockets.
Remove metals parts.
Close any zips and fasten hooks etc before washing.
Do not wash anything in the machine that is specified as non-machine washable on the wash care label.

While sorting

Separate polyester fabrics from cotton fabrics.
Try to have a mix of large and small clothes in each wash load.
Dark clothes should be washed separately and not with whites.

While loading

Load large items first, preferably half the total wash load.
Do not wash single items-add one or two similar items.
Place small items such as infants' socks, nylon stockings, handkerchiefs etc in a laundry bag, pillow case or something similar, as they may get caught around the door. This will also save your laundry from getting lost.

Water softening

Use water softening agents or adjust detergent dosage as recommended by the detergent manufacturer in case of hard water.

Easy tips to remove stains

Ensure you use warm water for soaking or pre washing stained laundry.
Fresh stains are easier to remove.
Knowing what kind of stain it is, how old it is, what kind of fabric it is, and whether the fabric is color fast (check the care label) always helps treat a stain better.
Always start with cold or warm water as hot water can set in stains. Washing and drying can sometimes set in stains.
When bleach is recommended, always use a fabric-safe one. Put the stained area face down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to the back of the stain. This forces the stain off the fabric instead of through it.
