Important: Ensure that the transit bolts have been removed prior to using the machine (see page 32).

Recommendations

• Residues of detergent or softener left in the detergent drawer for long periods will dry and stick to the detergent drawer. To prevent this put the detergent and softener into the detergent drawer just before washing.
- It is recommended that the pre-wash programme should only be used for very dirty clothes.
- Do not exceed the maximum loading capacity.
- When the machine is not in use, keep the water tap closed.
- The appliance is not intended for use by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods of time, unplug the appliance, close the water tap and leave the door ajar to keep the inside of the machine dry and to prevent unpleasant odours from developing.
• As a result of the quality control procedures during production, a certain amount of water may remain in the appliance. This is normal and does not signify a fault.
- Do not remove the rating plate. The information on it is important.
- This appliance should not be installed in locations where the ambient temperature may fall below 0°C. Use in ambient temperatures below 0°C may damage the machine.

Before first use

When your washing machine has been correctly installed, we recommend that you pre-clean the machine.

This is to check that the installation, the connections and the drainage are all correct, and to thoroughly clean the inside of the washing machine before any wash programmes are run.

Prior to pre-cleaning you should ensure the transit bolts have been removed.

• Select the Cotton 90°C programme and add a normal dose of detergent into the detergent dispenser.
• Press the "Start / Pause" button.

Preparing garments for washing

• Wash lightly soiled garments using a short programme.
• Use a programme without prewash for medium-soiled garments.
• Wash heavily soiled garments using a long programme with prewash.
• Wash white and coloured loads separately.
  • We recommend that small garments are placed in a wash bag.
  • We recommend using the delicate programmes for sensitive fabrics.
• Separate clothes according to their types (cotton, synthetic, sensitive, woollen, etc.), required washing temperatures and level of dirtiness.
• Since new coloured clothes may shed dye on the first wash, wash them separately.

• Remove any metal pieces found on the items to be washed, for example curtain hooks.

• Fasten all zips and buttons.

• Turn garments, such as knitted fabrics, inside out.
• Before placing the clothes in the drum, make sure all the pockets are empty. Any small objects may block the drain pump.
  • We recommend loading the washing machine to its full capacity for best water and energy efficiency.
• Whenever possible, we recommend that you wash garments of different sizes within the same wash programme. This improves the washing action and also aids the correct distribution of the garments in the drum when spin-drying, and the washing machine will therefore be quieter.

Detergents and additives

Your washing machine's detergent dispenser has three sections as shown in figure 1.

Add the required amount of detergent and fabric softener into the specific sections of the detergent dispenser before starting the wash programme.

Note: Compartment 1 (Prewash) is only used with the “Intensive +” programme.

The detergent dispenser is designed to allow the use of liquid detergents rather than adding them to the drum. You should only insert liquid detergent into the main wash detergent compartment and ensure that concentrated liquid detergent is diluted with an equal quantity of water before use.

• Liquid detergent should not be used on programmes with a prewash stage or when using the delay timer.
• For wash loads that require pre-washing, add 14 of the required powder detergent into the prewash section, and the remainder to the main detergent section.
• Do not exceed the “MAX” level in the fabric softener section and ensure that concentrated fabric softeners are diluted before use for best washing results.
• Remember that the amount of detergent to be used will always

depend on:

• The amount of clothes to be washed.
• How heavily the clothes are soiled.
- The hardness of the water (Information on water hardness in your area can be obtained from your local water board).

We recommend the use of a decalcifying product if the water hardness is high in your area.

Eco note

The use of more detergent than necessary will not improve your washing results. Many brands of detergent (and fabric softener/conditioner) contain phosphates which escape sewage treatment and can cause excessive algae growth in waterways. This in turn can pollute drinking water and cause marine life ‘dead zones’ which are underwater environments deprived of oxygen that are subsequently unable to support life. Please consider the environment and try to source an environmentally friendly brand.

Loading the washing machine

• Open the door.
• Add the items to be washed separately, ensuring they are loaded evenly.
• When closing the door, ensure that no item is trapped between the door and the door seal.
• Close the door securely, otherwise the programme will not start.

Care and maintenance

Before beginning any care or maintenance you should always disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, and also turn off the water supply.

If a programme has been run recently, wait for the water in the appliance to cool down to prevent risk of scalding.

Water inlet filters

There are filters on the tap side of the water inlet hose and at the end of the water inlet valve. These filters prevent ingress of dirt or foreign objects into the machine through the water supply. These filters should be cleaned approximately once a year to ensure there is no interruption in the water supply to the machine.

Illustration of a hand using a tool to adjust a toothbrush on a mechanical component (no text or symbols)

• Remove the water inlet hose.
• Remove the filter on the water inlet valve using pliers.
• Remove the filter on the tap end of the water inlet hose manually, as well as the seal.
• Clean the filters thoroughly using a brush.
• Replace the filters and seals carefully, in the same way as they were removed.

Pump filter

The pump filter system helps to prevent the ingress of lint or foreign objects into the drain pump, reducing the risk of damage. The pump filter should be cleaned regularly, every two to three months at least.

To avoid injury, do not carry out this operation when the wash water is at a temperature over 30^ . Disconnect the appliance

from the power supply first.

To clean the filter:

• Unplug the appliance.
- Open the kickplate cover by undoing the single screw then sliding the cover to the left to release it from its clips.
- Release the drain hose and let it swing forward.
- Place a container under the drain hose to collect the flow of remaining water from the machine.
- Pull the bung from the end of the drain hose and let it drain. It may be necessary to reseal this hose and empty the container to prevent the container from overflowing.
- Replace the bung.

(Continued on page 23)

Detergent drawer

Detergents may cause residue build up in the detergent drawer and the drawer housing over time. The drawer should be cleaned regularly to remove these residues.

To remove the drawer:

• Pull the drawer out gently until it stops.
• To remove the drawer, press down on the blue syphon lid inside the drawer and remove from the housing, as shown in figure 4.
• Wash the drawer and syphon lid using warm water and a brush, ensuring all compartments are clean.
• Dry the drawer thoroughly and replace the syphon lid properly.
• Remove the residues from the drawer housing without letting them fall into the machine.
• Replace the detergent drawer inside the housing, reversing the steps above.

Please note - A dirty syphon will prevent the detergents from being taken in and leave water inside the detergent drawer compartments at the end of the wash.

Cleaning the washing machine exterior

The exterior of the washing machine should be cleaned with warm soapy water or a gentle cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaning products or solvents.

It should then be dried thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Please note - wipe any detergent spills immediately to minimise the risk of damage to the washing machine exterior.

The drum

Do not leave metal objects such as coins inside the drum, as these can cause the formation of rust stains.

To remove rust stains, use a chlorine free cleaner and follow the manufacturer's warnings for the cleaner.

Never use abrasive products, such as scourers, to remove rust stains.

Limescale removal

If proprietary limescale removers are required, follow the manufacturer's warnings for the limescale remover.

Please note - Limescale removers contain acids which may affect the colour in clothes, as well as damaging the appliance.

Practical information

Alcoholic beverages: The stain should first be washed with cold water, then wiped with glycerine and water and be rinsed with water mixed with vinegar.

Shoe Polish: The stain should be slightly scratched without ruining the cloth, rubbed with detergent and rinsed. In case it is not eliminated, it should be rubbed with 1 part of pure alcohol (96 degrees) mixed in 2 parts of water and then washed with lukewarm water.

Tea and coffee: Stretch the stained area of your cloth on the top of a container and pour through water as hot as the type of cloth can endure. If the type of cloth is suitable, wash it with lye.

Chocolate and cocoa: Soak the item in cold water and rub with soap or detergent, wash it in the highest temperature that the type of cloth can endure. If there is still a stain left, wipe with oxygenated water (in proportion of 3%).

Tomato paste: After scraping the dried pieces without ruining the cloth, leave in cold water for about 30 minutes and wash by rubbing with detergent.

Meat/soup/egg: Eliminate the dried stain residues and wipe with a sponge or soft cloth dampened with cold water. Rub with detergent and wash with diluted lye.

Grease and oil stains: First wipe the residues. Rub the stain with detergent and then wash with lukewarm 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 part alcohol, 2 parts water should be used).

Blood stain: Soak the item in cold water for 30 minutes. If the stain still does not disappear, soak in a mixture of water and ammonia (3

table-spoons of ammonia in 4 litres of water) for 30 minutes.

Cream, ice-cream and milk: Soak the item in cold water and rub the stained area with detergent. If the stain has still not disappeared, apply diluted lye on the fabric. (Do not use lye on coloured clothes.)

Mould: Mould stains should be cleaned as soon as possible. The stain should be washed with detergent, and if it does not disappear, it should be wiped with oxygenated water (in proportion of 3%).

Ink: Hold the stained area under cold water and wait until the inky water completely runs off. Then rub with lemon juice and detergent diluted in water, wash after waiting for 5 minutes.

Fruit: Stretch the stained area of the item on the top of a container and pour cold water on it. Do not pour hot water on the stain. Wipe with cold water and apply glycerine. Wait for 1-2 hours and rinse after wiping with a few drops of white vinegar.

Grass stain: Rub the stained part with detergent. If the type of fabric is suitable for use of lye, wash it with lye. Rub your woollen items with alcohol. (For colour, use a mixture of 1 part pure alcohol and 2 parts of water).

Oil Paint: The stain should be eliminated before it dries by applying thinner on it. Then it should be rubbed with detergent and washed.

Burnt stain: If your cloth is suitable for use of lye, you can add lye into your washing water. For woollens, a cloth damped in oxygenated water should be covered on the stain and it should be ironed with a dry cloth on it. It should be washed after rinsing well.

Opening the door in an emergency

In the unlikely event that the machine stops mid cycle (for example during a power cut) the door may be opened manually, after first draining out the water in the drum.

To avoid injury, do not carry out this operation when the wash water is at a temperature over 30^ C

To drain the water (diagrams on pages 22-23):

• Switch off the machine then disconnect the power supply (unplug it from the socket).
• Open the kickplate cover by undoing the single screw then sliding the cover to the left to release it from its clips.
• Release the drain hose and let it swing forward.
• Place a container under the drain hose to collect the flow of remaining water from the machine.
• Pull the bung from the end of the drain hose and let it drain. It may be necessary to reseal this hose and empty the container to prevent the container from overflowing.

To open the door (after draining the water):

• You will see a plastic strap hanging down in front of the filter cover (A). Pulling this strap downward releases the door catch.
• Replace the kickplate cover by reversing the procedure above.

Installation

Transit bolts, located at the rear of the appliance, must be removed prior to using the appliance to prevent damage.

• Remove the back cover from the machine.
• Loosen the transit bolts (T1, T2, T3 & T4 in fig. 7) using a suitable spanner by turning them anti-clockwise and then remove them.
• Remove the lower bar and plastic spacers that were retained by the transit bolts.
• Replace the back cover onto the machine.
• Cover the bolt holes with the plastic plugs supplied.

Do not throw the transit bolts or plastic spacers away. If you need to move the washing machine after installation you should first replace the transit bolts and spacers.

Do not install your machine on rugs or similar surfaces.

For your machine to work quietly and

without any vibration, it should be installed on a flat, non-slippery and solid surface.

The machine must be positioned on a solid support, such as the bare floor or a well-fitting riser, ensuring the machine is unable to fall when subjected to the typical vibrations generated by a washing machine.

Levelling

To reduce the noise from the washing machine and to prevent unnecessary movement during use, ensure the washing machine is level, using the adjustable feet.

First, fix and level the rear feet. When they are properly fixed, secure the metal locknut tightly against the underside of the washing machine.

- Put the washing machine into its required position.

- Then level the front feet in the same way as the rear feet.

Please note: Raising the washing machine too high can affect the stability of the appliance.

Do not use wooden blocks, packaging or any similar means to stabilise the appliance. Use only a flat, solid surface and the appliance's feet.

Fitting the furniture door

The machine is supplied with a fitting template that aligns with the top of the fascia door and has arrows cut out of it that point toward the door top.

NOTE: If this template is aligned with the top of the décor door, the resultant position will align the décor door top with the top of the machine fascia.

The required height of the door top edge above the fascia panel, and hence the gap between décor door and worktop, can only be determined by the fitter after the final height adjustment of the machine has been determined. The final positioning of the template is therefore at the discretion of the fitter. The furniture door should be fitted to the casing of the washing machine using the hinges supplied.

Fix the magnetic catch assembly to the front of the washing machine and to the furniture door.

Connecting to the mains water supply

• Fit the seal included in the hose packing at the end of the water inlet hose on the tap side.
• Connect the water inlet hose to a 3/4” BSP water tap. Then securely tighten the connecting nut by hand.
• After connections are completed, check there are no leaks from the connection joints by turning on your tap completely.

For your washing machine to work properly, the mains water pressure must be between 0.05 and 1MPa (0.1 - 10 bar).

Drainage connection

• It is recommended that you have a fixed drainage outlet 80 to 100 cm from the floor.
• Avoid the drain hose being too tight, kinked or restricted.
• The water outlet can either be connected to a water drain or to a sink outlet spigot (ensure the spigot is cut/opened). This connection should be a minimum of 80cm and a maximum of 100cm from the floor. The drain hose should be no longer than 4m in length to ensure good performance from the washing machine.
• After connecting the water supply, check to ensure there are no leaks.

The drain hose must be securely fastened to the outlet to prevent any risk of the drain hose becoming detached and causing flooding.

Once the appliance is connected to the water supply and the drain connection, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not folded, twisted, crushed or elongated by stretching when moving the appliance into position.
