- Check all pockets on a garment to make sure that they are empty.

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

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

- 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) should be placed in either a washing net 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.

- 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

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 in the majority of cases the liquid should be placed inside the dosing device supplied by the detergent manufacturer and placed inside the drum. All instructions on the detergent packaging should be followed.

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 manufacturers should be followed.

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.
- 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.

- Pull the detergent drawer out as far as it will go, press down the catch in the middle section of the drawer and then pull the drawer out.

- Wash the detergent drawer in warm, soapy water. For ease of cleaning, you can remove the upper part of the fabric softener compartment.

- Detergent can also accumulate inside the detergent drawer recess, so you should also clean this out using a brush

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

The washing machine drum

The drum of your washing machine is constructed from stainless steel. However if there are objects that can rust placed inside the drum, then it is possible for the drum to become stained.

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

- Remove any rust stains on the drum with an appropriate stainless steel cleaning agent.

Door

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

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.

• You should regularly check to see if any deposits have formed, or there are any foreign bodies in the drain pump filter.
  ○ Locate the drain pump filter flap that is on the base of the appliance in the front right hand corner.

- Use a coin to open the drain pump filter flap.

o Pull out the bail tube that is to the left of the drain pump filter. Place the end of the tube into an adequately sized bowl and then remove the cap from the end of it.

• When water no longer runs out of the bail tube, you can turn the drain pump filter cover anti-clockwise. This will allow you to remove the drain pump filter from its housing.
• Remove any debris from the drain pump filter by running it under a tap.
• After cleaning, reinsert the drain pump filter into its housing. Tighten the drain pump filter by turning it clockwise, you should keep tightening it until you cannot turn it any further.

- Reinsert the cap into the end of the bail hose, making sure that it is securely in place. Slide the bail hose back into its original position and then close the drain pump filter flap.

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.

Winter storage

• You should install your appliance in a location where it will not be subjected to freezing temperatures.
• If you are going to store your appliance in a location where the temperature will drop below freezing in winter, then you should follow the table below.

To winterize washer	To use washer again
Disconnect from mains water supply.Disconnect and drain the water inlet hose.Run the washing machine on a drain or spin setting for 1 minute.Unplug the power supply cord.	Flush water pipes and hoses.Reconnect water inlet hose.Reconnect to water supply.Reconnect power supply cord.Reconnect water outlet hose.

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 blood, 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 a 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.

Poor wash results

Illustration of a kitchen appliance with a washing machine, shower unit, and cleaning tools (no text or symbols)

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.
• 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.

the final rinse, I can still see foam.

- Modern detergents can result in there still being foam 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

Water under the washing machine

• Tighten the drain pump filter.
• Check the drain and inlet hose and make sure that they are fully tightened.

Washing machine vibrates during the spin cycle

- Check that the transport locking devices have been removed (see installation instructions).

○ Make sure that the washing machine is installed on a flat and level floor.

- Ensure that all four feet are resting firmly on the floor, by pressing down on each corner and making sure that the appliance is stable. If it is unstable then follow the "Locating your washing machine" and "Leveling the appliance" sections.

Poor spin results

- Clean the drain pump (see "Cleaning the drain pump filter" section).

Water in the detergent drawer

Although there will be some water residue left in the detergent drawer after a wash cycle has completed. If the drawer is full of water then you may need to clean the detergent drawer.

IMPORTANT: Your appliance has an unbalance control system. If this system detects that the washload is unevenly distributed inside the drum. Your washing machine will try to redistribute the load before spinning. If after several attempts it is unable to redistribute the washload, then the appliance will either spin at a slower speed or skip the spin cycle and proceed to the drain section of the wash cycle.

Uneven load distribution can be caused by too large a wash load or too small a wash load. It can also occur if a single item if washed inside the appliance.
