This guide provides essential information for operating your Crown ALW 100T washing machine. Before first use, ensure all transit bolts are removed to prevent damage. The machine has a maximum capacity of 5kg and a spin speed of 1000 RPM.
Installation
Proper installation is critical for the machine's longevity and performance.
- Transit Bolts: You must remove the 4 transit bolts and rubber spacers from the rear of the machine before operation. Failure to do so will cause heavy vibration and potential malfunction.
- Leveling: Install the machine on a firm, flat surface. Use the adjustable feet to level the machine; tighten the locking nuts once level. Do not use cardboard or wood to level the machine.
- Water Connection: Connect the water inlet hose to a 3/4" threaded tap. Ensure the hose is not kinked or crushed.
- Electrical: Connect to a 220-240V, 50Hz earthed socket. Do not use extension leads.
Control Panel
The control panel allows you to select programs and adjust settings.
- Program Dial: Turn to select the desired wash cycle (e.g., Cotton, Eco 40-60, Fast 60').
- Electronic Display: Shows remaining time, temperature, and spin speed.
- Buttons: Use these to adjust water temperature, spin speed, and set a delayed start.
Using Your Washing Machine
Follow these steps for a standard wash:
- Sort laundry by type and dirtiness.
- Open the door and spread laundry evenly in the drum.
- Add detergent to the appropriate compartment in the drawer (Compartment II for main wash).
- Select the program using the dial.
- Adjust temperature or spin speed if necessary.
- Press the Start/Pause button.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance.
- Water Inlet Filters: Clean every 2 months. Unscrew the hose and use pliers to pull out the filter for cleaning.
- Pump Filter: Located behind the cover on the front-lower right. Clean every 2 months to remove lint and foreign objects. Place a container under the cover before opening to catch residual water.
- Detergent Drawer: Remove and clean every 2 months to prevent residue buildup.
Troubleshooting
If your machine displays a fault code, refer to the following:
- Er 01: Door not shut properly. Close until it clicks.
- Er 02: Water pressure or level low. Check tap and water supply.
- Er 03: Pump faulty or filter clogged. Clean the pump filter.
- Er 04: Excessive water. The machine will discharge water automatically; unplug and contact service if it persists.
