with low water, energy and detergent consum ption.
●
Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C
In t he int erest

reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent
creasing.

●
●
The special wool programme with its new delicate
wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
●
●
Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area
for re-cycling this appliance.
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.
Eco logical hint s
To save water and energy and help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
hints:
●
Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.
●
Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the
hardness of your water supply, the amount of
laundry and the degree of soiling.
How do we help to protect the environm ent?
We use recycled paper!
●
A programme without prewash is sufficient for
normally soiled laundry.
●
The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.
●
With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature, so saving energy.
Im p o r t ant
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".

And in w hich fo r m ?
Which d et ergent ?....
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.
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
When washing delicates such as
woollens, you should use a product
which is specially designed to care for
fine fabrics.
These are ideal for improving ‘softness’, and also
reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing
easier. They are available in two types:
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.

Follow the manufacturer’s dosage

Important!
●
Some programmes when selected may start with a short drain. This is quite normal and not a fault with the
appliance.
When a programme is selected, the selector dial will advance to the water filling position. E.g. Programme B is
selected, there is a short drain. The appliance takes in water and the selector will appear to move to the C position.
The appliance will have memorised the programme selected, in this case B, and will run the correct programme
even though the selector dial appears to be at position C.
●
We recommend you not to switch the appliance off and on during its operation. This would modify the memorised
programme in progress with unsatisfactory washing results.

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
C0073
C0072
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.
Cleaning t he d rawer 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.
Aft er 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.
Maint enance 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.

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.
●
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.

• Screw the pump cover fully in.
• Close the pump door.
Em ergency em p t ying o u t
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:
Warning
When the appliance is in use and depending on the
programme selected there can be hot water in the pump
circuit. Never remove the pump cover during a wash
cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the
cycle, and is empty. When replacing the pump cover,
after a cleaning inspection, ensure it is securely
retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being
able to remove it.
• 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;
Cleaning t he wat er inlet filt er s
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
• clean the pump if necessary as previously described;
deposit, the water inlet filters may become clogged.
• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after
having plugged it;
• screw the pump cover again and close the door.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.
Turn off the water taps. Unscrew the water inlet hoses.

The machine does not fill
Ensure the water taps are open.
The filters in the inlet hoses are blocked.
The inlet hoses may be squashed or kinked.
The door has not been closed.
●
●
●
●
The machine fills then empties
immediately
The end of the drain hose is too low.
The end of the drain hose is submerged in water.
There is no vent in the end of the drain hose.
●
●
●
The machine does not empty and/or
does not spin
The drain hose may be squashed or kinked.
The drain pump may be blocked.
The drain hose extension, if fitted, is not correct. Follow the
●
●
instructions for connecting to the waste.
The drainage system pipes are blocked.
●
The wash load is unbalanced: redistribute the clothes inside the drum to
allow the machine to spin.
A programme which ends with water in tub has been selected.
●
●
There is water on the floor
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates too
much foam).
●
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; 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.
●
●
●
●
Unsatisfactory washing results
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An
insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and
causes lime scale to form.
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing
The correct wash programme has not been selected.
Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.
●
●
●
●
The machine vibrates when spinning
The internal packing has not been removed.
The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.
The machine is not stable and level (check diagonally).
The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.
●
●
●
●
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the
Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin
laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is
redistributed by 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.
●
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.
Before calling out an engineer, please ensure you have
read the details under the heading “Something Not
Working”.
