Main wash section

This compartment should have detergent placed in it (you should also put a water softening agent in this section, if you use one). The detergent will be added to the drum at the start of the main wash program.

Conditioner section

This compartment should be used for liquid conditioners (fabric softener, starch). They will be added to the wash load during the final rinse.

Pre wash section

This compartment should have detergent placed in it, if you are going to select a pre-wash before the main wash cycle.

Preparing the wash cycle

Preparing your garments for washing

- Your washing should be sorted out, according to the fabric type and the wash care symbol that is printed on the garment's wash care label (see separate section on wash care symbols).

- Your washing should also be sorted out according to the degree of soiling.

Prewash Wash Wash

- Check all pockets on a garment to make sure that they are empty and do not contain coins, clips or similar items as these can damage clothing and the washing machine.

Illustration of a hand holding a small object, possibly a device or tool, with no visible text or symbols.

- Remove any detachable metal items (badges, paperclips, safety pins, etc).

- Zips should be closed, duvet covers and pillow cases should be buttoned up and any loose straps should be tied up. This will help to prevent other garments from getting damaged during the wash.

- Woollens and knitted coloured fabrics should be turned inside out before being washed in the appliance.

o Small delicate items (tights, baby socks, etc) should be placed in either a washing bag or a zipped pillow case.

- Curtains should be handled with particular care. All plastic hooks or metal strips must be removed before being washed in the appliance.

- Coloured items and whites should be washed in separate wash cycles.

30 40 60 90 Cold

- New garments often contain an excess of dye, therefore it is advisable to wash them separately for their first wash.

o Garments should be unfolded and shook out before being placed inside the machine.

- The wash care symbols should be used to help you to select the most suitable wash program. They will also help you to sort your laundry into different loads, depending on the fabric type and the highest temperature which the garment can be washed at.

Detergents and conditioners

IMPORTANT: Only detergents suitable for use in front load washing machines should be used.

The amount of detergent that you need to use in your appliance, will depend on

• The degree of soiling. Lightly soiled garments in general require less detergent.
• The size of the wash load. A smaller wash load will require a reduction in the amount of detergent.
• The hardness of your tap water. The harder your water is, then the more detergent you will need to use. The detergent manufacturers normally give guidance as to how much extra detergent should be used, depending on the hardness of the water.

Liquid detergent

If you are using liquid detergent then all instructions on the detergent packaging should be followed.

Low temperatures

• The enzymes in biological washing detergents work best at low temperatures to provide excellent cleaning and stain removal results, but not as low as 20°C.
• Liquid or gel detergents are particularly suitable for low temperature washing as they dissolve easier and quicker than powders or tablets.

Water softening agents

If your tap water is hard, then it may be prudent to utilise a water softening agent. This will help to ensure that the appliance does not become clogged with hard water deposits. You may also find that it will allow you to lessen the amount of detergent that you are using.

When using any detergent or water softening agent, the recommendations of the manufacturer should be followed.

○ A wash program option can only be selected if the program table advises that it is possible with the wash cycle you have selected.
○ Important: You should make sure that the selected spin speed is appropriate for the garments that you are washing.
o Important: Before opening the door of the appliance, you MUST spin the clothes and drain the water. See the section called "Spin only".
- The active phases will appear at the top of the LED display, as the wash program progresses.
- The LED display shows an approximate time for the selected wash cycle. Please note that factors external to the machine, e.g. the temperature of your water supply, your water pressure etc. can affect the time it takes for a wash cycle to complete.

Selecting a wash program

Setting a wash program

• Use the washing program selection dial (1) to select the required program.
• You can set the water level (3), temperature (4) and spin speed (5) by pressing the relevant buttons on the control panel.

• Turn off the water tap and rotate the program selection dial (1) to the OFF position.
• Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.

Pausing a wash program

• If you want to pause a wash program temporarily, you should press the start/pause button (2).
• When you want to restart the wash cycle, press the start/pause (2) button again.

Delay start feature

Your appliance has a delay start feature, which allows you to delay the start of a wash cycle until a later time.

When the delay start function is in use, the LED display only shows the delay start time. The "Delay" indicator will light. When the programmed time is reached, the indicator light will go off. The LED display will then show the remaining time of the wash cycle.

- The delay start time on the display informs you in how many hours the wash program will begin.

1) Use the program selection dial (1) to select the desired cycle.
2) You can adjust the water level (3), temperature (4) and spin speed (5) by pressing the appropriate buttons. You can also add a pre-wash and an extra rinse by pressing the function button (8).

4) Press the start / pause button (2) and the machine will enter standby mode. The cycle will automatically begin when the delay start time is reached.

Setting a single wash

- You can choose from the following single cycles: "Wash", "Drain", "Drain and Spin" and "Rinse and Spin".

1) Use the program selection dial (1) to choose one of these cycles. Set the required spin speed or "No-Spin" option accordingly.
2) Press the start / pause button (2) to begin the program.

Manual soaking

1) Load the laundry into the washing machine drum
2) Put the detergent into the drawer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3) Use the program selection dial (1) to select the required wash cycle. Press the start / pause button (2) to begin the cycle.
4) After approximately 10 minutes have passed, press the start / pause button (2) again to pause the cycle. The clothes are then able to soak in the water for your chosen length of time. Press the start / pause button (2) to continue the wash cycle.

High temperature self-clean

The self-clean cycle is specially designed to clean the drum and internal components automatically and improves machine hygiene. By selecting this program it applies a 95°C high temperature wash to ensure the machine does not accumulate any residues that remain after completing several wash cycles over a period of time.
- When this procedure is performed, clothes or other washing cannot be placed in the drum.
1) To set this cycle, use the program selection dial (1) to choose the "Self-clean" option.
2) Press the start / pause button (2) to begin the program.

Active enzyme

The active-enzyme program activates enzymes contained in the detergent powder by setting a temperature of 40^ C during the pre-wash and 60^ C in the main wash. This is suitable for clothes which are difficult to wash due to heavy soiling such as protein based stains.

1) Use the program selection dial (1) to choose the "Active enzyme" cycle. The other options will be set by default.
2) Press the start / pause button (2) to begin the wash cycle.

Extra rinse

• The extra rinse option should be selected to provide users who suffer from sensitive skin. The garments will undergo an additional rinse to remove more residues of detergent allowing garments to be free from detergent.
  1) To program an extra rinse, press the function button (8) to choose the correct option before starting the wash cycle.

Child lock

Your appliance has a child lock option, if this is set, it will mean that nobody can alter the operation of the wash program once it has started.

- When the appliance is in use, press and hold the child lock buttons (5) & (7) for a few seconds to activate the child lock. No buttons on the control panel will be operable.

To deactivate the child lock, press the child lock buttons again. The buttons on the control panel will then be operable again.

Add garment

- This option will only work near the beginning of the washing cycle. It will not work when there is a high volume of water in the drum, or the temperature of the water in the drum is very hot, rendering the function unsafe to use.

Once the add garment button has been pressed, you will need to wait for the drum to stop rotating and for the door to unlock.

- When the machine is unlocked, add the garments you want to the wash load and close the door. Press the Start/Pause button to resume the washing cycle.

Power off memory

- If the power supply to the machine is cut off in the middle of a cycle, the machine will automatically maintain the cycle sequence. You will not be required to restart the cycle once the power has been turned on.

IMPORTANT: Please do not open the door by force when the power is off. Please call the Customer Care Department if you have to open the door.

Maintenance and cleaning

In daily use

Once a wash cycle has completed, you should pull out the detergent drawer slightly, so it can dry out.
Leave the porthole door ajar for a short while after a wash cycle has completed. This should help to prevent stagnant smells and to protect the door seal.
- After each washing program has finished, wipe up the remaining water on the rubber seal ring and seal fold to prevent any mildew and rot appearing.
- Close the water tap.
- We suggest that you disconnect the appliance from your mains supply, when it is not in use.

Control panel and washing machine cabinet.

IMPORTANT: Do not use any abrasive cleaner or household polish on either the control panel or operating parts.

• Wipe over the control panel and the external surface of the machine using a brand new damp cloth with warm water.
• If you ever spill any liquid detergent or conditioner from the detergent drawer onto the washing machine cabinet, then these should be cleaned up immediately as they could be corrosive.

Detergent drawer

Occasionally the detergent drawer should be cleaned, to remove any detergent residue that has built up.

1 Press 2 Pull out at the same time

- Press the detergent drawer limit part and pull out the drawer at the same time to remove from the machine.

3 Clean

Detergent can also accumulate inside the detergent drawer recess, so you should also clean this out using warm soapy water and a soft cloth.

Once you have finished cleaning the detergent drawer and recess, you should slide the drawer back into its original position.

The washing machine drum

The drum of your washing machine is constructed from stainless steel. However if metal objects that can rust are placed inside the drum or have been left in the drum for an extended period of time, then it is possible for the drum to become stained/rust.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a descaling agent, iron/steel wool, a metal brush, or any other scouring agents to clean the drum of your appliance.

- Remove any rust stains on the drum surface with an appropriate stainless steel cleaning agent. Only use a sponge or a soft cloth during this process.

Door

- You should regularly check to see if any deposits have formed, or there are any foreign bodies inside or underneath the rubber door seal. This sits inside the opening of the porthole door.

Emergency drainage

IMPORTANT: Switch off your washing machine and disconnect the plug from your mains supply.

IMPORTANT: If you are draining water from the bail hose and drain pump filter in an emergency, you should take care as the water coming from the machine mid-cycle could be hot, especially if the water is being drained in the middle of one of the hotter wash cycles.

Cleaning the drain pump filter

IMPORTANT: Switch off your washing machine and disconnect the plug from your mains supply.

You should clean out the filter approximately every ten washes. If the drain pump filter is not cleaned regularly, then your appliance may find it difficult to pump out water efficiently.

Removing stains

Garments that are covered in stains, grease or are heavily soiled may need to be pre-washed or soaked before being placed inside of the washing machine.

• Soaking helps to remove protein-type stains, like milk or grass.
  o Pre-washing helps to loosen soil before the main wash.

Stain removal rules

• Use warm water for soaking or pre-washing stained laundry. Hot water can set stains.
  o Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh.
  Before treating any stain try to establish; what kind of stain it is, how old the stain is, what the fabric type is and whether the fabric is colourfast (check the care label to find this out).
• Washing and drying can fix some stains.
• When bleach is recommended, use mild fabric bleach that is safe for the fabric.
• If you need to use a stain remover, 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.
• When using chemicals to treat stains please take caution to ensure that all safety directions are followed in accordance with product packaging.

Stain removal guide

	Stain	Removal	Method
	Alcoholic beverages	The stain should be first washed with cold water, then wiped with glycerine and water and rinsed with water mixed with vinegar.
	Shoe polish	The stain should be rubbed with detergent and rinsed softly without ruining the material, If the stain is not removed, rub with 1 unit of pure alcohol (96 %) mixed in 2 units of water and then washed with lukewarm water.
	Tea and coffee	Place and stretch the stained area of material on the top of a container and pour water as hot as the material can endure on it. If the type of material is suitable, wash it with caustic soda.
	Chocolate and cocoa	Leave your clothes in cold water and rub with soap or detergent, wash it in the highest temperature that the material type can endure. If there is still a stain of oil left, wipe with oxygenated water (in proportion of 3%).
	Tomato paste	Remove the dried pieces without ruining the material, then leave in cold water for about 30 minutes and wash by rubbing with detergent.
	Meat broth/egg	Eliminate the dried stain residues and wipe with a sponge or soft cloth wetted in cold water. Rub with detergent and wash with diluted caustic soda.
	Grease and oil stains	First wipe the residues. Rub the stain with detergent and then wash with luke warm soapy water.
	Mustard First apply glycerine to the stained area. Rub with detergent and then wash. If the stain still does not disappear, wipe with alcohol (on synthetic and coloured cloth, a mixture of 1 unit alcohol, 2 units water should be used).

Poor wash results

My garments are looking grey and there are limescale deposits present in the drum of my washing machine.

- There is not enough detergent being added.

- The incorrect detergent is being used.

- Stains are not being pre-treated.

o The correct wash program or wash temperature was not selected.

I have followed the advice given above, but my garments are still coming out with grey stains on them.

- The garments are soiled with oils, ointments or grease and were washed without enough detergent.

- The wash temperature selected was too low.

Fabric conditioner has come into contact with the garments. If this happens try to wash out these stains as quickly as you can and try to avoid getting conditioner on the garments in future.

he final rinse, I can still see suds.

- Modern detergents can leave results with suds appearing in the final rinse, this does not mean that the washing is not being rinsed properly.

There is white residue on my garments when I remove them from the appliance.

- Modern detergents can contain insoluble contents; white residue after a wash cycle is not necessarily a sign of the garments being insufficiently rinsed by the washing machine.

- You should shake out the garment or brush it off. In future possibly turn the garment inside out before it is washed. You may wish to move from a powder detergent and switch to a liquid detergent instead.

General troubleshooting

Problem	Possible solutions
The washing machine does not work.	○ Close the washing machine's door.○ Confirm and press the start button.
Water leakage.	○ Correctly connect the inlet water pipe.
The spin of the clothes is abnormal.	○ Reload and distribute the laundry evenly in the drum.
There is a peculiar smell in the washing machine.	○ Run a self-clean cycle without any clothes.
No water is visible in the drum.	○ No fault. The water is under the visible area.
There is remaining water in the softener compartment.	○ No fault. The effect of the softener will not be affected.
The remaining detergent is left on the clothes.	○ The water-fast component of the non-phosphorus detergent left on the clothes will cause lime scale. Select the rinse and spin program or brush away the detergent when the clothes are dried.
The washing machine does not fill.	○ Open the water tap.○ Check the selection of the program.○ Check the water pressure to see if the water pressure is insufficient.○ Put through the feed-water.○ Close the machine's door.○ Check if the inlet water pipe is bent or clocked.
Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin.	○ The imbalance control system has activated because the laundry is unevenly distributed in the drum,○ The appliance will redistribute the laundry by reversing the drum rotation. This may take several attempts before the laundry is evenly distributed and normal spinning can resume.○ If the laundry is still not evenly distributed after 10 minutes, the machine will not spin. In the event of this, redistribute the load manually and select the program again.
The washing machine fills and empties at the same time.	○ Make sure the end of the drainage pipe is higher than the water level in the machine.○ Check if the drainage pipe have been sealed. If they have been, there will be poor ventilation which causes siphoning.
No drainage of the washing machine.	○ Check if the drainage pump is blocked.○ Check if the drainage pipe is bent or blocked.○ Check the height of the drainage nozzle and make sure it is 0.6 - 1 meter from the bottom of the washing machine.
Vibration of the washing machine.	○ Level the appliance.○ Fasten the footing.○ Check the transportation bolts have been removed.
The bubbles spill from the detergent drawer.	○ Check if the detergent use is excessive.○ Put one scoop of softener mixed with 1/2 litre of water into detergent compartment II.○ Reduce the usage amount of detergent in the next wash.
The machine stops when the program has not finished.	○ Power failure or water supply cut-off.
The drainage pump makes a noise during operation when the water has just been drained.	○ The inner barrel water of the washing machine has been drained but there is still a small amount of water in the drainage pump and pipe. The drainage pump continuously operates and takes in the air, and at this time there is noise which is normal.
Machine stops for some time during a cycle.	○ The machine adds water automatically.○ There are too many bubbles in the tube so the machine is cleaning the tube.
