The special wool programme with its new delicate
wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
The ECO VALVE allows total use of detergent and
reduces water consumption so saving energy.
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.

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

laundry and the degree of soiling.
G
A programme without prewash is sufficient for
normally soiled laundry.
G
The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.
G
With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature, so saving energy.
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".

Washing Hints

Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the
first few times you use the appliance.
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.
The average weights of the most common items are
listed below as a guide:
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.

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.

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.

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

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,
C0073
C0072
and according to the softening powder manufacturer's
instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of
lime deposits.
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
without any clothes in the drum.
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.
P0038
To run a maintenance wash:
G
The drum should be empty of laundry.
Cleaning the pump
G
Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly
G
Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a
powder (such as Ariel Futur).
if
• the machine does not empty and/or spin
• the machine makes an unusual noise during draining
due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking
the pump.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with a
solution of mild washing up liquid and water only, and
then dry thoroughly.
Proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the appliance.
• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
• Open the pump door.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer
should be cleaned regularly.
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.
P1114
• Place a container close to the pump to collect any
spillage.
• Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in the
container and remove its cap.

• When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump
cover and remove it. Always keep a cloth nearby to
dry up spillage of water when removing the cover.
Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.
Tighten up the inlet hose.
P1090
P1115
The dangers of freezing
• Remove any objects from the pump impeller by
rotating it.
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
G
Turn off the water tap.
G
Unscrew the inlet hose.
G
Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and
that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor
and let water drain out.
G
Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition
the emergency emptying hose after having put the
cap on again.
• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and
place the latter back in its seat.
G
When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
Important!
Every time you drain the water through the emergency
emptying hose you must pour 2 litres of water into the
main wash compartment of the detergent drawer and
then run the drain programme. This will activate the
ECO valve avoiding that part of the detergent remains
unused at next washing.
P1117
• Screw the pump cover fully in.
• Close the pump door.
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:
Warning
• pull out the plug from the power socket;
• close the water tap;
When the appliance is in use and depending on the
programme selected there can be hot water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle,
always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle,
and is empty. When replacing the cover, ensure it is
securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young
children being able to remove it.
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
• open the pump door;
• place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the
emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove its
cap. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl.
When the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose.
Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water
stops flowing out;
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.
• clean the pump if necessary as previously described;
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose.
• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after
having plugged it;
• screw the pump cover again and close the door.

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.
During machine operation it is possible that the “end” light flashes to indicate that the machine is not working.
• 4 flashes = door open
• 2 flashes = the water is not drained
• 1 flash = there is no water filling
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 Centre.

reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the
unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 10
minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the
machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and
reselect the spin programme.
G
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.
