Washing Hints  
Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the  
first few times you use the appliance.  
Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)  
should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.  
G
Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic  
washing machines.  
The average weights of the most common items are  
listed below as a guide:  
G
G
Use the correct quantities of detergent.  
1000g = 1 kg  
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.  
Pillow case  
Tablecloth  
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.

wool programme; other types of wool should be  
washed in HANDWASH programme.  
Man’s shirt  
Apron  
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.  
G
Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with  
small ones.  
G
G
G
Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,  
colour-fastness and how dirty it is.  
G
Once you have finished using the machine, you are  
advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap.  
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.

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  
The pump should be inspected if  
G
Select the hottest cotton wash programme.  
G
Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a  
powder (such as Ariel Futur).  
• 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 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.

• 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.  
IMPORTANT: if you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or  
installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.

Symptom  
Possible causes  
G
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.  
The machine vibrates when spinning  
G
G
G
G
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.  
G
The programme is still running.  
Water in the tub: the door cannot be opened if water is present in the tub.  
The door will not open  
G
G
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 20 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.  
G
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”.

Important !  
You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in  
case the machine is to be transported again.  
P0287  
In case of moving out the same precautions as per  
paragraph “The dangers of freezing” must be taken i.e.  
the residual water in the hoses must be pumped out.  
I
Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure  
that the hoses are not squashed.  
We suggest a polystyrene angle bracket from the  
packing is placed on the floor before tilting it back  
to avoid the hoses being squashed.  
Positioning  
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.  
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.  
I
Carefully remove the polyethylene bags located at  
the base of the machine by pulling them toward the  
centre 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 suitable existing tap with the drain  
hose discharging into a sink.

The appliance has one 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.  
AL009  
P0018  
I
Place the machine in an upright position and  
remove the three plastic spacers.  
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.

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.  
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a  
wooden floor.  
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to  
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,  
always place the machine on a solid floor.  
P1197  
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.  
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  
Warning  
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4  
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is  
available from your local Service Force Centre.  
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of  
18mm.  
The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile  
carpeting.  
Note  
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is

Before connecting 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.  
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.  
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 and stable.  
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.
