Thank you for choosing Defy 

Congratulations, you have purchased one of the finest and most modern washing machines that to-
day’s technology can produce. You and your machine are going to make a great team together. But 
first it will pay if you really get to know each other. This manual 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. 

 
Some of its features are: 

• 

Advanced electronics: 

Sensors determine the optimum water level and wash duration. 

• 

Direct drive motor: 

Ensures an exceptionally smooth and quiet operation. 

• 

Nano silver sterilization technology: 

Applying the attributes of silver (anti-bacteria) and carbon 

(deodorization) nano particles, the wash compartment is selectively coated, ensuring a bacteria 
free wash.  

• 

Air bubble washing: 

Millions of generated air bubbles completely dissolve detergents thereby 

improving both the wash and rinsing  performance. 

• 

Safety lock: 

Prevents accidental changing of pre-set programmes. 

• 

Inclined drum: 

Ensures a better wash action and diminishes vibrations. 

• 

Infrared drying technology: 

Kombomaid -washer dryer only 

 

Installation 

UNPACKING 

• 

Carefully remove all packaging from the machine and accessories. 

• 

Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner.  

• 

Plastic bags  should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally suffocating. 

• 

If the appliance is damaged in any way, do not use it. Report the damage to your dealer, who will 
take the necessary corrective action. 

 

TRANSPORT FITTINGS 

• 

The wash drum is secured by four bolts to prevent damage during transport . 

• 

If these bolts and associated rubber sleeves are not removed before use, it will result in excessive 
vibration, noise and possible malfunction.  

• 

To remove the transport fittings proceed as follows: 

• 

Unscrew  the 4 bolts at the back of the machine, with the spanner 
supplied. 

• 

Remove the bolts and rubber grommets. 

• 

Keep the transport fittings and spanner for future use. 

• 

To prevent damage, the machine should be transported with the 
transport  fittings securely in place.  

• 

Insert the four plastic 
plugs, supplied with 
the machine, into the  
holes vacated by the 
transport fittings.
