⚠️ Safety instructions

i Hints and tips

Environmental information

i Your New Washing Machine

Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.

• Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60^ C before draining, with the 90^ C programme. This reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.
• The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
• The anti-unbalance device ensures that the washing machine remains stable when spinning.

Ecological hints

To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.

In the interest of the environment

● Materials marked with the symbol recyclable.
- Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance.
- When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power supply cable and make the door lock device unusable to prevent young children from being trapped inside.
- Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.

How do we help to protect the environment? We use recycled paper!

Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.

If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed “Something Not Working”.

10. How to change a programme during its cycle

Before you make any change, you must pause the washing machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button.

It is possible to change any phase before the programme carries it out.

Changing the type of fabric or temperature is possible, obviously, only during the washing phase. When you make a change in these two parameters, the washing machine will resume the cycle from the beginning.

If it is necessary to drain the water in order to change the programme in progress, proceed as follows:

• PAUSE the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button;
• press the SKIP/RESET button repeatedly, until only the DRAIN light remains lit;
• press the START/PAUSE button again.

When the water has been drained, a new programme can be selected. Press the START/PAUSE button to start it.

II. How to cancel a programme during its cycle

To cancel a programme that is being carried out, first pause the washing machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button, then press the SKIP/RESET button repeatedly, until all lights go out.

12. How to open the door during the cycle of a programme

You can open the door, after having set the washing machine to PAUSE, provided the following conditions exist:

• the washing machine is not in the heating phase beyond 40^ ;
  • the level of the water is not high;
  • the drum is not turning.

If these requirements are met, when you pause the washing machine, the DOOR LOCKED light goes out and the door can be opened.

Should it not be possible to open the door, and should it be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine off by pressing the ON/OFF button.

After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door.

Pay attention to the level and temperature of the water in the washing machine!

When you close the door and press the ON/OFF button again, the washing machine will resume the programme from the point where it had been interrupted.

13. End of programme

At the end of the programme, the washing machine stops automatically and gives an audible signal.

If you had selected the RINSE HOLD option, the START/PAUSE button light flashes and the light☐ remains lit to indicate that the water must be drained.

When the programme has been completed, the light remains lit and the audible signal is given.

The DOOR LOCKED light goes out at once.

Press the SKIP/RESET button repeatedly to erase the programme that has just been carried out. If you omit to do this, the next time you switch the washing machine on, you will hear the audible signal.

Note: when you switch the machine on, if you must erase the previously performed programme, it is also sufficient to press the FABRIC button and select a new programme.

Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off. The relevant light will go out.

Remove the laundry from the washing machine.

Check whether the drum is completely empty, by rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to prevent any items of laundry from remaining accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour into another load of laundry.

We advise you to close the water supply tap and disconnect the plug from the socket.

Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine.

i Washing Hints

Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the first few times you use the appliance.

The average weights of the most common items are listed below as a guide:

1000g = 1 kg

Sheet	700-1000
Pillow case 100-200 g
Tablecloth	400-500
Serviette	50-100
Tea towel 70-120 g
Linen hand towel 100-150 g
Towelling hand towel 150-250 g
Towelling bath towel 700-1000 g
Bath robe 1000-1500 g
Man's shirt 200-300 g
Apron	150-200

• Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with small ones.
• Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric, colour-fastness and how dirty it is.
• Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may unravel.
• Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws etc). as these could damage the drain pump.
• When washing curtains, remove the hooks.
• Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.
• It is essential to wash new coloured items separately when washing for the first time.
• When washing fabrics requiring different wash temperatures together, always select the lowest temperature.
• White items should not be washed with coloured items.
• Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc) should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.
• Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic washing machines.

• Use the correct quantities of detergent.

• For wool, use gentle detergent only in small quantities.

• Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care and kept out of reach of children.
• Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are difficult to remove and should be treated before washing with specific products, which can be found in most household shops. In some cases it may help to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-soak product or biological detergent.
• Only wool marked “Pure New Wool - washable, preshrunk” can be washed in the machine using the wool programme; other types of wool should be washed by hand or dry cleaned.
• If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.
• Once you have finished using the machine, you are advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap.

Which detergent?....

To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended for use in automatic machines.

To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.

WHITES

We recommend the Ariel product range which is biological and designed to provide excellent cleaning and stain removal even at low temperatures.

NON BIOLOGICAL

If you prefer to use a non biological detergent, which does not contain enzymes we recommend Fairy. Fairy provides good cleaning and stain removal.

COLOUREDS

For coloured items you should use a detergent which is designed to clean while maintaining the original colour. Ariel Color does not contain bleach and therefore helps to preserve colours.

DELICATE ITEMS

When washing delicates such as woollens, you should use a product which is specially designed to care for fine fabrics.

Dreft Automatic is suitable for woollens and other delicates.

LAUNDRY BLEACH

For additional stain removal you may wish to use a product such as Ace Gentle Bleach which is used in addition to your chosen detergent. Ace is suitable for all washable fabrics including silks, woollens and coloureds.

And in which form?

Not only are there different types of detergent, but they are also available in different forms. Whether you chose a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is your own personal choice.

TRADITIONAL POWDERS

Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.

TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS

Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer marked with the symbol L.lstart the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in the dispenser drawer.

Alternatively the detergent is measured into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum.

COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS

Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also known) are available in liquid or powder form, and generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure the most economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum.

* If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer, please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed before carrying out a drying programme.

FABRIC CONDITIONERS

These are ideal for improving ‘softness’, and also reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing easier. They are available in two types:

For example Lenor liquid fabric softener, for use in the washing machine/washer dryer. The liquid fabric softener should be poured into the compartment marked with the symbol 🌿 Follow the manufacturer's dosage instructions and never exceed the MAX level.

Bounce conditioning sheets for use in a tumble dryer. We recommend the conditioning sheets are pinned (using a safety pin) to an article of laundry and placed in the tumble dryer.

Wash Care Symbols

Wash care labels inside garments recommend how to launder your clothes with the best results. The care labelling code is in line with care labelling used in the rest of Europe. The symbols used make it easy to select the correct programme on your washing machine.

Important Notes

For best results, always use the dispenser drawer for dispensing detergents and liquid additives.

Once the dispenser has been filled, close it by pushing it in gently. This is particularly important if you are using

fabric conditioner to avoid the conditioner entering the machine prematurely.

When using liquid detergent and a prewash programme, place the detergent into the correct compartment in the dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished.

The “coloured cotton programme” at 60^ C with a wash load of 5 kg is the reference programme for the data entered in the energy label, in compliance with EEC 92/75 standards.

* This data is given purely as an indication: the consumption values may vary in relation to the quantity and type of laundry, the temperature of the water supply and the ambient temperature. The data refers to the highest temperature provided for each programme.

The machine is capable of washing up to 6 kg, however, to achieve optimum wash results it is recommended that the above wash load are adhered to.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply.

Descaling

The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.

After each wash

Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door seal.

Maintenance Wash

With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum.

We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis.

To run a maintenance wash:

• The drum should be empty of laundry.
- Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
- Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder (such as Ariel Futur).

External cleaning

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

From time to time the washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned.

Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder.

To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed.

Cleaning the filter

The water drain filter

A clean filter is important for the correct operating of the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every washing programme.

Open the filter door and place a container underneath to catch any spillage. If the filter is blocked and the machine is unable to drain you will need to drain the water manually from the machine at this stage. To do this, unhook the drain hose from the standpipe or sink and hold the end of the hose over a bowl on the floor. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, hook the hose back up and empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out.

Warning

When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can be hot water in the filter. Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it.

The water inlet filter

If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.

It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.

Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.

Tighten up the inlet hose.

The dangers of freezing

If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0^ C, certain precautions should be taken.

• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
• Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position the end of this hose and that of the inlet hoses in a bowl. Run the draining programme.

To do this:

• Switch the machine on
• Select a washing programme
• Press the SKIP/RESET button three times

• Press START/PAUSE button

• Disconnect the appliance.
  ● Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose.

• When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0^ C.

Something Not Working

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Force Centre, please carry out the checks listed below.

IMPORTANT: if you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.

During machine operation it is possible that one of the following lights on programme phase indicator comes on and the START/PAUSE light and the END light—flash indicating a fault in machine operation:

• : problem with the water supply
• : problem with water draining
• : door open

Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Force Centre.

Symptom	Possible causes
The machine does not start	The door has not been closed.The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.There is no supply at the socket.The main fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown.The START/PAUSE button has not been depressed.
The machine does not fill	The water tap is closed.The filter in the inlet hose is blocked.The inlet hose may be squashed or kinked.The door has not been closed.
The machine fills then empties immediately	The end of the drain hose is too low.The end of the drain hose is submerged in water.There is no vent in the end of the drain hose.
The machine does not empty and/or does not spin	The drain hose may be squashed or kinked.The RINSE HOLD option has been selected.The drain filter may be blocked.The drain hose extension, if fitted, is not correct. Follow the instructions for connecting to the waste.The drainage system pipes are blocked.The wash load is unbalanced: redistribute the clothes inside the drum to allow the machine to spin.
There is water on the floor	Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates too much foam).Check whether there are any leaks from the inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp.The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.The detergent dispenser drawer or recess is clogged.The drainage system pipes are blocked.
Unsatisfactory washing results	Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and causes lime scale to form Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washingThe correct wash programme/temperature has not been selected.Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.
The machine vibrates when spinning	● The internal packing has not been removed.● The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.● The machine is not level and stable (check diagonally).● The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.● Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
The door will not open	● The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.● The machine is heating the water.● The drum is turning.The door can only be opened when the relevant light has gone out.
Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin	● The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 15 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme.
The machine makes an unusual noise	● The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.
No water is visible in the drum	● Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very little water without affecting performance.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.

Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units.

Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

Your new washing machine has been designed to be permanently plumbed in to your home's water supply and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it may be connected to a suitable existing tap with the drain hose discharging into a sink.

The appliance has an inlet hose, with female 3/4” BSP thread connector. If this connection is not compatible with the plumbing of the existing installation, a variety of connectors are available from good hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suit most domestic plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plumbing must be carried out by a competent person, or qualified plumber.

Installation on a Suspended Floor

Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

Water inlet

Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread.

Illustration of a hand holding a tool near a faucet, with no visible text or symbols

Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations' requirements.

The appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.

A minimum water pressure of 50 kPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe operation of the appliance.

If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appliance from your cold water storage system.

There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (161/2 ft) between the appliance's inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.

Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

Water drainage

This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's water supply and drainage system.

3 pin P1039 Max. 90 cm.(35.4") Min.60 cm. (23.6')

The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece” supplied.

The standpipe should have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.

38 mm.(1½") diameter standpipe Min. 30 cm.(12") P1040

When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the curve in the hose end is no more than 90cm (35.4") and no less than 60cm (23.6") above floor level. The upright standpipe should have a minimum length of 30cm (12") from the bottom of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see diagram).

Make sure that it is designed in such a way, that the end of the drain hose cannot be covered with water. The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres.

An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local Service Force Centre. The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18mm.

If you intend the drain hose to empty into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and the plug hole is not blocked. Use the plastic “U-Piece” supplied.

Important

Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.

Levelling

Level the washing machine by raising or lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and stable (check diagonally).

Diagram of a mechanical assembly with directional arrows indicating motion (no text or symbols)

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displacement of the machine during operation.

Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a wooden floor.

Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible, always place the machine on a solid floor.

Special conditions

If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or displacement. The base should protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges of the machine.

Warning

The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile carpeting.

Note

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

In the interest of the environment

Washing machines and dishwashers should be connected to the FOUL drainage system, the water will then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before being discharged safely into a river.

It is essential that these appliances are not connected to the surface water drainage system as this water is discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause pollution.

If you require any further advice please contact your local water authority.
