Washing Hints  
i
Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the  
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.

The average weights of the most common items are  
listed below as a guide:  
1000g = 1 kg  
Only wool marked “Pure New Wool - washable,  
preshrunk” can be washed in the machine using the  
wool programme; other types of wool should be  
washed by hand or dry cleaned.

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.

Man’s shirt  
Apron  
Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with  
small ones.  
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.  
When washing curtains, remove the hooks.  
Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.  
It is essential to wash new coloured items separately  
when washing for the first time.  
When washing fabrics requiring different wash  
temperatures together, always select the lowest  
temperature.  
White items should not be washed with coloured  
items.  
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.  
Use the correct quantities of detergent.  
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.

«BIG BOX» OR COMPACT  
Which d et ergent t o u se?....  
Compared to their traditional «Big Box»equivalents,  
compacts (or concentrates as they are also known) have  
an improved performance and environmental profile, as  
well as requiring a smaller dosage level.  
For most clothes and household textiles,  
CONVENTIONAL DETERGENTS will give good  
washing results. Conventional detergents are available in  
either a biological, such as Ariel, or a non-biological  
form, such as Fairy, and are particularly suitable for  
whites. Biological detergents provide improved stain  
removal, especially at lower temperatures.  
For coloured clothes and household textiles, you should  
use COLOUR DETERGENTS, like Ariel Color,  
which are designed to maintain the original colour of  
these items, as well as providing excellent cleaning  
performance. These are all biological detergents. They  
are particularly suitable for matching and co-ordinated  
sets of lingerie, bedding or towels.  
FABRIC CONDITIONERS  
These are ideal for improving ‘softness’. They also  
reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing  
easier. Fabric Conditioners come in three forms:  
Liquids (regular or concentrated) which work in the  
final rinse.  
Sheets for use in the tumble dryer, and  
Combined Detergent and Fabric Softener  
For washing wool and silk, COLOUR  
DETERGENTS ARE NOT SUITABLE.  
For wool items, you should use a GENTLE/FINE  
WASH DETERGENT, such as Dreft, which has been  
tested and approved by the International Wool  
Secretariat and carries the ‘Woolmark’. A similar  
detergent should also be used for silk.  
Use o f d et ergent and add it ives  
Choosing the Right Detergent  
Always use a low lather powder or liquid. This is  
important as too much lather prevents the articles from  
being properly cleansed and may damage the machine.  
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.  
Although this may require buying two or three different  
products, you do not need to use any more powder, or  
liquid, than if you were buying just one.  
Use of Powder Detergent  
The washing powder should be placed in the appropriate  
compartments in the detergent dispenser drawer before  
starting the programme.  
Use of Liquid Detergent  
A liquid detergent can be used in the middle  
compartment of the dispenser drawer. Start the machine  
immediately upon placing the liquid in the dispenser  
drawer.  
And in w hich fo r m ?  
Not only are there different types of detergent, but they  
are also available in different forms.  
POWDERS OR LIQUIDS  
Use of Fabric Conditioners  
Powders and their liquid equivalent provide similar  
cleaning properties, although liquids dissolve faster  
when hand washing and at lower temperature washes.  
Any liquid additives for softening or dressing the  
laundry must be poured into the appropriate  
compartment of the detergent dispenser drawer before  
starting the programme.  
BIOLOGICAL OR NON-BIOLOGICAL  
All Biological detergents contain enzymes.  
Different types of enzymes assist with the removal of  
protein, starch and fat-based stains, such as blood, egg,  
chocolate and gravy. However, some people prefer non-  
biological detergents which do not contain enzymes.  
The compartment with the symbol  
and dressing agents; never exceed the MAX. Ievel.  
is for softeners  
When using super concentrated fabric conditioners,  
please follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.  
LOW SUDS  
In a front loading automatic washing machine, you  
should only use a low suds detergent. The majority of  
detergents are now low suds products.

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.  
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.  
Ex t er nal cleaning  
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap  
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.  
Cleaning t he d isp enser d rawer  
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.  
Cleaning t he d rawer recess  
Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean  
C0002

Cleaning t he filt er  
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.  
Remove and clean the filters using a hard bristle brush.  
Replace the filters and tighten up the inlet hoses.  
P0041  
The d anger s o f freezing  
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,  
certain precautions should be taken.  
Turn off the water taps.  
Unscrew the inlet hoses.  
Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and  
position the end of this hose and that of the inlet  
hoses in a bowl. Run the draining programme.  
Disconnect the appliance.  
Screw the inlet hoses and reposition the drain hose.  
When you intend to start the machine up again,  
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.

Som ething 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.  
Sym ptom  
Possible causes  
The machine does not start  
The door has not been closed.  
The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.  
There is no current at the socket  
The main fuse has blown.  
The selector dial is not correctly positioned and pulled out.  
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 RINSE HOLD option has been selected.  
The drain filter may be blocked.  
The drain hose extension 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.  
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 level.  
The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.  
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

Sym ptom  
Possible causes  
The door will not open  
The programme is still running.  
The door lock has not yet released (door pilot light on).  
Water in the tub: the door cannot be opened if water is present in the  
tub.  
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.  
If after all these checks, the problem persists, contact  
your local Service Force Centre, quoting the model and  
serial number. This information can be found on the  
rating plate (see picture).

Po sit io ning  
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 suitable existing taps with the drain  
hose discharging into a sink.  
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.

If only a cold water supply is available, connect the two  
hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a «Y»  
connection piece.  
P0003  
P0021  
Installation should comply with local water authority  
and building regulations’ requirements.  
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  
(161/2 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.  
Wat er d rainage  
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.  
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).

Im portant  
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 washing 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.  
P0850  
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to  
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,  
always place the machine on a solid floor.  
Sp ecial co nd it io ns  
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.
