Your New Washer-Dryer  
This new machine, meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low  
water, energy and detergent consumption.

are  
Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C  
before draining, with the 95°C programme. This  
reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent  
creasing.  
Check with your local Council or Environmental  
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area  
for re-cycling this appliance.  
The two drying programmes will give your wash  
that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.  
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.  
The ECO VALVE allows total use of detergent and  
reduces water consumption so saving energy.  
Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised  
disposal sites for your old appliance.  
Ecological hints  
To save water and energy and help protect the  
environment, we recommend that you follow these  
hints:  
The symbol  
on the product or on its packaging  
indicates that this product may not be treated as  
household waste. Instead it should be taken to the  
appropriate collection point for the recycling of  
electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this  
product is disposed of correctly, you will help  
prevent potential negative consequences for the  
environment and human health, which could  
otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling  
of this product. For more detailed information about  
recycling of this product, please contact your local  
council, your household waste disposal service or the  
shop where you purchased the product.  
Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the  
hardness of your water supply, the amount of  
laundry and the degree of soiling.  
Select the “Quick” wash option for lightly soiled  
laundry.  
A programme without prewash is sufficient for  
normally soiled laundry.  
Try to load the maximum drying capacity of the  
machine as small loads are uneconomical.  
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin  
speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the  
shorter the drying times.  
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, it is 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".

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.  
The average weights of the most common items are  
listed below as a guide:  
1000g = 1 kg  
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.

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.  
Man’s shirt  
Apron  
Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished  
drying.  
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.  
Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with  
small ones.  
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.  
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.  
Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials  
similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried;  
they represent a fire hazard.  
When washing curtains, remove the hooks.  
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.  
Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.  
It is essential to wash new coloured items separately  
when washing for the first time.  
For drying, follow the indications given on the  
manufacturer’s labels.  
When washing fabrics requiring different wash  
temperatures together, always select the lowest  
temperature.  
May be tumble dried  
White items should not be washed with coloured  
items.  
Drying at high temperature  
Drying at reduced temperature  
Do not tumble dry  
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.  
Important:  
As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation  
principle.  
Use the correct quantities of detergent.  
For wool, use gentle detergent only in small  
quantities.  
Therefore, the water tap must be open and the  
drain hose must drain water into a sink or into  
the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.  
Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care  
and kept out of reach of children.

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

Maintenance and Cleaning  
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you  
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity  
supply.  
Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of  
accumulated powder.  
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.  
C0067  
C0066  
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment  
should be removed.  
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.  
C0068  
P1086  
Cleaning the drawer recess  
To run a maintenance wash:  
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.  
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 a  
solution of mild washing up liquid and water and then  
dry thoroughly.  
Cleaning the dispenser drawer  
P0038  
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer  
should be cleaned regularly.  
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards  
and by pulling it out.

• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and  
place the latter back in its seat.  
Cleaning the pump  
The pump should be inspected 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.  
Proceed as follows:  
• Disconnect the appliance.  
• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.  
• Open the pump door.  
P1117  
• Screw the pump cover fully in.  
• Close the pump door.  
Warning  
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.  
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 rag nearby to dry  
up spillage of water when removing the cover.  
Cleaning 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.  
P1115  
Remove any objects from the pump impeller by  
rotating it.

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.  
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.  
Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition  
the emergency emptying hose after having put the  
cap on again.  
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.  
Emergency emptying out  
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to  
empty out the machine:  
• pull out the plug from the power socket;  
• close the water tap;  
• 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;  
• clean the pump if necessary as previously described;  
• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after  
having plugged it;  
• screw the pump cover again and close the door.

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.  
The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not been replaced after

reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the  
unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after a few  
minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the  
machine will spin at a lower spin or 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.

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.

Installation should comply with local water authority  
and building regulations’ requirements.  
The appliance must be connected to a cold water  
supply only.  
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar) is  
required for safe operation of the appliance.  
P1200  
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.  
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of  
the standpipe is no more than 90cm (35.4'') and no less  
than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level.  
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.

2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.  
If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove  
any blanking plug that may be in place.  
P1051  
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.  
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and  
displacement of the machine during operation.  
P1197  
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a  
wooden floor.  
Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a  
clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain  
hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink  
entering the washing machine.  
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.  
Loop  
P1198
