If so, adjust the adjustable leg (at the front right side of the machine), as illustrated in the below image.
Page 9
Connecting the Water Inlet Hoses Install the water inlet hoses to your hot and cold-water taps. Check and ensure that the sealing washers are firmly in place. Attach the straight end of the hose to your water taps. Make sure to attach the hot water supply hose (with Red markings) to the hot water tap and the cold-water supply hose (with Blue markings) to the cold-water tap.
Page 10
Ensure to use only the new (supplied) hoses with your new appliance. Do not use a hose from an existing machine or one that has been used previously. • If the hoses are too short for your set-up, contact Kogan.com to purchase a longer hose.
Page 11
Installing the Drain Hose The drain hose and drain pump filter are located at the back of the machine as shown in the image. Pinching the two bands of the clamp on the drain hose, connect it to the drain hose connection at the back of the washer.

Detergent and Load Recommendations • We suggest you use detergent in the amounts recommended below. Too little will give poor washing results, but too much will affect rinse performance and may cause overflow of suds, which could interfere with machine operation. Caution: Do not overfill detergent.
Page 19
Customising a Program This washing machine is equipped with a fuzzy logic function that automatically chooses certain wash cycle processes for the Normal, Heavy Duty, Custom and Wool programs. You do not have to adjust them yourself, however, if you want to adjust these values, follow the below instructions: Prepare your washing according to steps 1 to 4 of the Normal Usage section.
Page 20
Blanket Program Use this program for washing blankets or other bulky items. It will automatically select the highest water level (90L), but you can adjust this manually down to 62L according to the size of your items. Press the Power button and open the washer lid. Press the Program button repeatedly until the indicator for the Blanket program flashes.
Page 21
Preset Timer (Delayed Washing) This washing machine has a 0-24 hour preset function, which you can set to determine the time when the washing program will finish. It is, in effect, like a ‘delayed start’ function, but you set the time period when you want the washing process to finish rather than to start. Notes: •...
Page 22
Adding Detergent to a Preset Wash When using the preset wash, we recommend you use powder detergent. Do not add detergent directly to the wash tub ahead of the wash time. Follow the instructions below: • Washing detergent: Either put detergent into the detergent box or if you prefer to put it directly into the wash tub, wrap the powder in a small cloth.
Page 23
Water Power The water power affects the pause time of the pulsator and hence the intensity of the wash. It is automatically selected for the wash and rinse process; however, you can also adjust it yourself (except for the Delicate and Blanket programs). To adjust the water power level: Press the Start/Pause button, then press the Soak/Variable Wash button.
Page 24
Ultrasonic Function • This top load washing machine is equipped with an ultrasonic pump, which generates thousands of vibrations per second into the wash tub. These vibrations help remove stains and dirt without chemical stain removers, thus reducing the required detergent amount and wash time. •...
