WASHER FEATURES
ON-OFF Button
After the clothes have been loaded and the desired water
temperature and cycle selected, pressing the ON-OFF
button causes the cycle to begin.
Medium/High Spin Button
When the button is pressed, the spin speed will be
reduced from high to low during the regular cycle.
High/Heat Half/Heat Button
When this button is pressed, the half heat drying
temperature is obtained. Release for maximum heat. Half
heat should only be used with delicate fabrics.
Wash Timer
Enables the operator to select the wash program required
according to the type of fabric and degree of soiling.
Refer to the program chart on page 10 & 11.
Water Cycle Selector
Allows operator to select the temperature of the wash/
rinse water.
Drying Timer
This control allows you to preset the drying time you
want according to your requirements which may be
"damp dry", "ready for ironing" or "dry" ready for
putting away. The drying time depends largely on the
type of material (some fibers absorb more water than
others), the dampness of the articles when the drying is
started and the amount of laundry. Table napkins, towels,
and similar (rather thick) articles will take a longer time
to dry. After all the controls have been correctly set, the
dryer will start to operate as soon as you close the door.
During operation the Drying Timer will gradually return
to the "Stop" position "O". The final 12 minutes of the
drying cycle is the cooling phase. At the end of this
cooling phase it will automatically switch itself off.
Cool Drying Period
Towards the end of the tumble-drying cycle there is a
cool drying period which lasts about 12 minutes.
The heater is off during this period, while the machine
continues to tumble.
When setting a wash/dry cycle the dryer pre-heats the
drum during the final spin on all cycles.
The cooling feature helps minimize creasing, and is
particularly important with synthetic fabrics. It is also
important to cool snaps, zippers, buttons and the machine
interior. Practice will soon tell you just how much drying
time to allow to get the effect you want.
Drain Screen
The removable drain screen which protects the pump
from lint and foreign matter needs to be cleaned periodi-
cally. How often will depend on your wash load, e.g.
cotton towels cause more lint to collect than nylon loads.
Open the service door by pressing on the left hand side.
Turn drain screen counter-clockwise and pull the drain
screen out. Have a cloth or shallow tray under the drain
screen housing, as a small quantity of water may run out.
You may find it helpful to first set the machine to spin,
allow the unit to start, then remove the drain screen once
unit starts. This procedure reduces the amount of water
released.
Clean the screen under running water to help remove any
lint. Replace the screen by sliding back into the housing
within 3 minutes. Lastly turn clockwise to secure.
Under no circumstances should the drain screen be
removed while the machine is full of water.
Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser is designed so detergent,
additives and bleach will flush automatically into your
machine.
Use only 1 to 2 tablespoons of powder detergent or liquid
equivalent.
For Models WDB1043M-LWD1054M-WDC1025-
WDC1025M
It is divided into 4 compartments, for cold wash, hot
wash, detergents, additives (i.e. fabric softeners) and
bleach.
For Models WDS1043M-SWD1054M-WDC1024-
WDC1024M
It is divided into 3 compartments , for cold wash, hot
wash, detergents, additives (i.e. fabric softeners).
At the end of the wash program, any remaining liquids
will be automatically siphoned out leaving the dispenser
ready for the next wash.
A small amount of water may remain in compartment
"C" and/or "D" at the end of the wash program. This can
easily be removed by pouring a small additional amount
of water into this compartment, which allows the siphon
to operate and draw all the water into the machine.
Note: The detergent dispenser drawer and housing
should be cleaned to prevent a build up of detergent and
fabric softener. This dispenser drawer is easily removed
by pulling out. Rinse it under the tap, dry and replace.
On Models WDS1043M-SWD1054M-WDC1024-
WDC1024M the locking mechanism on the center
divider must be released.
