Your New Washing MachineiYour new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundrywith low water, energy and detergent consumption.

n Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°Cbefore draining, with the 95°C programme. Thisreduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to preventcreasing.

n The special wool programmewith its new delicatewash system treats your woollens with extreme care.

Ecological hintsTo save water and energy and help protect theenvironment, we recommend that you follow thesehints:n Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the

hardness of your water supply, the amount oflaundry and the degree of soiling.

n A programme without prewash is sufficient fornormally soiled laundry.

In the interest of the environment

n Materials marked with the symbol arerecyclable.

n Check with your local Council or EnvironmentalHealth Office to see if there are facilities in your areafor re-cycling this appliance.

n When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off thepower supply cable and make the door lock deviceunusable to prevent young children from beingtrapped inside.

n Help to keep your country tidy - use authoriseddisposal sites for your old appliance.

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

ImportantYour 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 evenlydistributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute thewash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "SomethingNot Working".

2 On/Off button By depressing this button the machine starts operating.When depressed again, the machine stops.

3 Heavy soil button By pressing the heavy soil button, the machine will takein cold water only on programmes with a water temperature of 50°-60°-95°C (programmes B-C and H).These would normally be hot or hot and cold.The water is then gradually heated to the required temperature. The effect is to improve the overall washperformance, particularly on biological stains such asegg, blood and grass stains, and heavily soiled fabrics,since the longer «cool-soak» phase as the water heats upprovides the right conditions for the powder and thewater temperature to interact, and achieve the bestpossible results.

4 Rinse Hold Plus buttonPress this button to make the machine stop with water inthe drum after the cotton, synthetic or delicate washcycles.This prevents any creasing which may occur if theclothes are left damp in the drum. When it is convenientfor you to empty the machine, simply press this buttonagain so that the machine can proceed to drain and spin,or turn the dial to the drain programme “P”.If this button is not activated, the washing programmeswill end with a spin.Do not press this button for woollens: wool items shouldbe gently spun.

n Load the laundry loosely alternating large items withsmall ones.

n Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,colour-fastness and how dirty it is.

n Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they mayunravel.

n Before washing, empty all pockets of small objectswhich may have been left inside (coins, keys, screwsetc). as these could damage the drain pump.

n When washing curtains, remove the hooks.n Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.n It is essential to wash new coloured items separately

when washing for the first time.n When washing fabrics requiring different wash

temperatures together, always select the lowesttemperature.

n White items should not be washed with coloureditems.

n Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.

n Use a good quality detergent suitable for automaticwashing machines.

n Use the correct quantities of detergent.n For wool, use gentle detergent only in small

quantities.

n Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with careand kept out of reach of children.

n Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. aredifficult to remove and should be treated beforewashing with specific products, which can be foundin most household shops. In some cases it may helpto soak the stain before washing with a special pre-soak product or biological detergent.

n Only wool marked “Pure New Wool - washable,preshrunk” can be washed in the machine using thewool programme; other types of wool should bewashed by hand or dry cleaned.

n If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spinonly non-colour fast garments, there may be dye leftin the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is notcontaminated with the dye, select and carry out arinse and spin programme, without any garments, toensure that any dye is removed from the sump.

n Once you have finished using the machine, you areadvised to unplug it and turn off the water taps.

And in which form?Not only are there different types of detergent, but theyare also available in different forms. Whether you chosea powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is toown personal choice.

TRADITIONAL POWDERSPour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Donot sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.

TRADITIONAL LIQUIDSLiquid can be placed in the main wash compartment ofthe detergent drawer marked with the symbol , startthe machine immediately upon placing the detergent inthe dispenser drawer.Alternatively the detergent is measured into thespecially designed dosing device* which should beplaced on top of the laundry, and at the back of themachine drum.

COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDSCompact detergents (or concentrates as they are alsoknown) are available in liquid or powder form, andgenerally require a smaller dosage. Follow themanufacturer’s instructions to ensure the mosteconomical usage. Pour the detergent directly into thedispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergentinto the specially designed dosing device* which shouldbe placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of themachine drum.

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

FABRIC CONDITIONERSThese are ideal for improving ‘softness’, and alsoreduce static cling on synthetics and make ironingeasier. They are available in two types:

For example Lenor liquid fabric softener, for use in the washingmachine/washer dryer. Theliquid fabric softener should bepoured into the compartmentmarked with the symbol .Follow the manufacturer’s dosageinstructions and never exceed theMAX level.

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

Which detergent?....To ensure you obtain the best wash results from yourappliance, it is important to use the right detergent inyour everyday wash, and only detergents recommendedfor use in automatic machines.To maintain the appearance of your clothes andhousehold textiles and to make them last longer youshould use different types of detergent for differentwashes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.

WHITESWe recommend the Ariel productrange which is biological anddesigned to provide excellentcleaning and stain removal evenat low temperatures.

NON BIOLOGICALIf you prefer to use a nonbiological detergent, which doesnot contain enzymes werecommend Fairy. Fairy providesgood cleaning and stain removal.

COLOUREDSFor coloured items you should use adetergent which is designed to cleanwhile maintaining the original colour.Ariel Color does not contain bleach and therefore helps to preservecolours.

DELICATE ITEMSWhen washing delicates such aswoollens, you should use a productwhich is specially designed to care forfine fabrics.Dreft Automatic is suitable forwoollens and other delicates.

LAUNDRY BLEACHFor additional stain removal you maywish to use a product such as AceGentle Bleach which is used in additionto your chosen detergent. Ace issuitable for all washable fabricsincluding silks, woollens and coloureds.

Maintenance and CleaningBefore any maintenance or cleaning is carried out youmust DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricitysupply.

DescalingThe water we use normally contains lime. It is a goodidea to periodically use a water softening powder in themachine. Do this separately from any laundry washing,and according to the softening powder manufacturer'sinstructions. This will help to prevent the formation oflime deposits.

After each washLeave the door open for a while. This helps to preventmould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance.Keeping the door open after a wash will also help topreserve the door seal.

External cleaningClean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soapand water only, and then dry thoroughly.

Cleaning the dispenser drawerFrom time to time the washing powder and additivedispenser drawer should be cleaned.Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwardsand by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to removeany traces of accumulated powder.

Cleaning the drawer recessHaving removed the drawer, use a small brush to cleanthe recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue isremoved from the upper and lower part of the recess.Replace the drawer and run the rinse programmewithout any clothes in the drum.

Cleaning the filterThe water drain filterA clean filter is important for the correct functioning ofthe machine, and should therefore be cleaned after everywashing programme.

Open the filter door and place a container underneath tocatch any spillage. If the filter is blocked and themachine is unable to drain you will need to drain thewater manually from the machine at this stage. To dothis, unhook the drain hose from the standpipe or sinkand hold the end of the hose over a bowl on the floor.The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. Whenthe bowl is full, hook the hose back up and empty thebowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowingout.

Unscrew and remove the filter.

Clean carefully under a fast running tap.

WarningWhen the appliance is in use and depending on theprogramme selected there can be hot water in the filter.Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, alwayswait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and isempty. When replacing the filter, ensure it is securelyretightened so as to stop leaks and young children beingable to remove it.

The water inlet filtersIf your water is very hard or contains traces of limedeposit, the water inlet filters may become clogged.

It is therefore a good idea to clean them from time totime.

Turn off the water taps. Unscrew the water inlet hoses.Remove and clean the filters using a hard bristle brush.Replace the filters and tighten up the inlet hoses.

The dangers of freezingIf the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,certain precautions should be taken.n Turn off the water taps.n Unscrew the inlet hoses.n Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and

position the end of this hose and that of the inlethoses in a bowl. Run the draining programme.

n Disconnect the appliance.n Screw the inlet hoses and reposition the drain hose.n When you intend to start the machine up again,

make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.

Something Not WorkingCertain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling outan 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 orinstallation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.

SymptomThe machine does not start

Possible causesn The door has not been closed.n The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.n There is no current at the socketn The main fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown.n The selector dial is not correctly positioned.n The ON/OFF button has not been depressed.

The machine does not fill n Ensure the water taps are open. n The filters in the inlet hoses are blocked. n The inlet hoses may be squashed or kinked. n The door has not been closed.

The machine fills then emptiesimmediately

n The end of the drain hose is too low. n The end of the drain hose is submerged in water.n There is no vent in the end of the drain hose.

The machine does not empty and/ordoes not spin

n The drain hose may be squashed or kinked.n The RINSE HOLD option has been selected.n The drain filter may be blocked.n The drain hose extension is not correct. Follow the instructions for

connecting to the waste.n The drainage system pipes are blocked.n The wash load is unbalanced: redistribute the clothes inside the drum to

allow the machine to spin.

There is water on the floor n Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates toomuch foam).

n Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose(s) fittings.It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; checkto see if it is damp.

n The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.n The detergent dispenser drawer or recess is clogged.n The drainage system pipes are blocked.

Unsatisfactory washing results n Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. Aninsufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey andcauses lime scale to form.

n Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washingn The correct wash programme has not been selected.n Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.

The machine vibrates when spinning n The internal packing has not been removed.n The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.n The machine is not level.n The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.n Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

19

Symptom

The door will not open

Possible causes

n The programme is still running.n The door lock has not yet released (the door locked pilot light is still on).n Water in the tub: the door cannot be opened if water is present in the

tub.

Spinning starts late or the machinedoes not spin

n The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because thelaundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry isredistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen severaltimes before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume.If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in thedrum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the loadmanually and reselect the spin programme.

The machine makes an unusualnoise

n The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusualnoise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures asofter start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum whenspinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.

No water is visible in the drum n Machines based on modern technology operate very economicallyusing very little water without affecting performance.

Your new washing machine has been designed to bepermanently plumbed in to your home’s water supplyand drainage system. However, if this is not possible, itmay be connected to suitable existing taps with the drainhose discharging into a sink.

The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold, withfemale 3/4” BSP thread connectors. If this connection isnot compatible with the plumbing of the existinginstallation, a variety of connectors are available fromgood hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suitmost domestic plumbing. Any alteration to your existingplumbing must be carried out by a competent person, orqualified plumber.

Water inletThe inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded,blue for cold and red for hot.

Before connecting the hoses be sure to fit the meshfilters «A» supplied as per diagram.

If only a cold water supply is available, connect the twohoses to a cold water outlet by means of a «Y»connection piece.

Installation should comply with local water authorityand building regulations’ requirements.

The appliance must be given a separate cold watersupply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a singleoutlet water heater or a booster pump. A minimumwater pressure of 0.48 bar is required for safe operationof the appliance.

If you cannot make the cold water connection directfrom the rising mains, you may be able to operate theappliance 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 bottomof the water storage tank.

There will be sufficient pressure for the hot watersupply, providing there is a minimun height of 2.74metres (9 ft) between the bottom of the cold waterstorage tank and the bottom of the hot water cylinder.

Set the hoses correctly by loosening the ring nuts. Afterpositioning the inlet hoses, be sure to tighten the ringnuts again to prevent leaks.

Water drainageThis appliance is designed to be permanently plumbedinto your home's water supply and drainage system.

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 ofapproximately 38mm (see diagram) thus ensuring thereis an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.

When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top ofthe curve in the hose end is no more than 90cm (35.4'')and no less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level. Theupright standpipe should have a minimum length of30cm (12'') from the bottom of the elbow to the top ofthe pipe (see diagram).Make sure that it is designed in such a way, that the endof the drain hose cannot be covered with water.
