Do not leave the damp laundry load in a heap too
long before drying.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy
items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.

If you overdry the laundry, besides wasting energy,
any subsequent ironing may become more difficult
because the fabric could be heavily crumpled.
I
I
Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished
drying.
I
Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with
small ones.
To avoid a static charge when drying is completed,
use either a fabric softener when you are washing the
laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for
tumble dryers.
I
I
I
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.
I
Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains,
woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon
stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks,
bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not
be machine dried.
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.
I
I
I
When washing curtains, remove the hooks.
Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.
I
I
Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials
similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried;
they represent a fire hazard.
It is essential to wash new coloured items separately
when washing for the first time.
I
Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions or
hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must
not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation
of harmful vapours.
When washing fabrics requiring different wash
temperatures together, always select the lowest
temperature.
I
I
I
White items should not be washed with coloured
items.
I
For drying, follow the indications given on the
manufacturer’s labels.
Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)
should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.
Drying at high temperature
Drying at reduced temperature
Do not tumble dry
Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic
washing machines.
I
I
Use the correct quantities of detergent.
Important:
For wool, use gentle detergent only in small
quantities.
As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation
principle.
I
Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care
and kept out of reach of children.
Therefore, the water taps must be open and the
drain hose must drain water into a sink or into
the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.

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 to
your personal choice.
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.
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

placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the
machine drum.
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.
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.
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.
* If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer,
please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed
before carrying out a drying programme.
DELICATE ITEMS
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:
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.
For example Lenor liquid fabric
softener, for use in the washing
machine/washer dryer. The
liquid fabric softener should be
poured into the compartment
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.
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.

Important Notes
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.
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

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.
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.
C0023
C0027
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean
the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is
removed from the upper and lower part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme for a
few minutes without any clothes in the drum.

Cleaning the filter
The water drain filter
A clean filter is important for the correct functioning 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.
P0132
P0011
Unscrew and remove the filter.
Clean carefully under a fast running tap.
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.
P0133
P0040
The water inlet filters
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filters may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean them from time to
time.
Turn off the water taps. Unscrew the water inlet hoses.
Clean the filters in the hoses using a hard bristle brush.
Tighten up the inlet hoses.
The dangers of freezing
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.

Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold, with
female 3/4” BSP thread connectors. 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.
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 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 suitable existing taps with the drain hose
discharging into a sink.
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
The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded,
blue for cold and red for hot.
If only a cold water supply is available, connect the two
hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a «Y»
connection piece.
Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations’ requirements.
P1088
P0021
The appliance must be given a separate cold water
supply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single
outlet water heater or a booster pump. A minimum
water pressure of 0.48 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
(16 1/2 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom
of the water storage tank.
There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water
supply, providing there is a minimun height of 2.74
metres (9 ft) between the bottom of the cold water
storage tank and the bottom of the hot water cylinder.
Set the hoses correctly by loosening the ring nuts. After
positioning the inlet hoses, be sure to tighten the ring
nuts again to prevent leaks.
Water drainage
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed
into your home's water supply and drainage system.
The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe
with an internal diameter of approximately 38mm
(see diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break
between the drain hose and standpipe.
3 pin
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).
P1039
Make sure that it is designed in such a way, that the end
of the drain hose cannot be covered with water.

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 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.
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.
P1051
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 drainage department.
