access for turning on and off.
For your machine to operate correctly it requires water pressures in the range of 6-150 psi
(100 - 1000KPa). Most water supplies will be in this range.
Connect the hoses to the water supply pipes at the rear of the appliance
and onto the water supply taps (Red end fitting to the hot water supply
and adjacent to ‘H’ on the rear of the appliance and White end fitting to
the cold water supply and adjacent to ‘C’ on the rear of the appliance).
Remember to insert a sealing washer (A) to ensure each connection is
watertight.
Fit securely and turn on the water supply to check for leaks.
If there is a leak, turn off the water supply, remove the connector
and check that the sealing washer is in place. Refit the connector
and tighten it. Turn on the water supply.
Note: Do not over tighten the water supply pipe connection. Hand
tight should be sufficient.
We recommend you use the new hoses provided with your appliance to ensure correct
connections and prevent leaks.
If the fill hoses are too short:
Longer fill hoses are available from our Genuine Parts and
Accessories Mail Order Hotline
UK on 08709 077 077
(or in the Republic of Ireland on (01) 842 6836).

iv. Connect to a Drainage System...
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Connect up the drain hose, after fitting the hooked end support supplied in the machine.
Ensure the drainage hose is not obstructed, trapped or kinked.
Any extension of the drainage pipe must be no longer than 1 metre, it must have the same
inner diameter and must have no constrictions of any nature.
ꢀ
Do not position standpipe near an electrical outlet.
We recommend one of the following drainage methods:-
Standpipe
Note: Ensure the standpipe has a minimum diameter of 38mm.
ꢀ
The standpipe should be installed away from the
rear of the appliance.
1. Ensure hooked end of drain hose is positioned between 100
and 60cm above the bottom of the machine.
2. Untie the end of the GREY drainage hose from the rear of the
appliance and place approximately 100mm into the standpipe or
sink trap spigot.
ꢀ
Ensure the drain hose is firmly in position, to prevent it coming
away while the machine is in use and causing a flood.
Sink Waste System
Note: Ensure the sink outlet pipe has a minimum diameter of 32 mm.
1. Untie the end of the GREY drainage hose from the
rear of the appliance.
2. Reposition ‘hooked end’ support as required along the GREY
drainage hose.
3. If fitting an under sink waste disposal unit cut out the
membrane, bung or blanking plug.
4. Attach the GREY drainage hose to the under sink waste
disposal unit securely, using a suitable hose clip.
5. Raise the hose to a minimum height of between
90 and 65cm to avoid syphoning.

v. Fitting the Door Panel...
The packaging is designed to
make it possible to mount the
wooden panel onto the appliance
without removing it completely.
ꢀ
The wooden panel that
covers the face of the machine
must not be less than 18mm
in thickness and can be
hinged on either side.
For practical reasons, it is
advisable to maintain the
same opening direction as the
appliance door itself (hinges
applied to the left hand side).
DOOR MOUNTING ACCESSORIES:
6 x type A self threading screws 1=13mm
2 x type B metric countersunk screws 1=25mm, for fastening
the magnet plate to the cabinet
4 x type C metric screws 1=15mm, for mounting the hinge
supports to the cabinet
4 x type D metric screws 1=7mm, for mounting the hinges on
the supports

Fitting the Door Panel and Plinth...
Mounting parts onto the face of the appliance:
-
Mount the hinge supports onto the face of the machine, positioning the hole indicated by
the arrow, in Fig.1, towards the inside of the face and using the type C screws.
-
-
Mount the magnetic plate on the opposite side, at the top, using the two type B screws.
Place the spacer illustrated in Fig 4/B between the machine front and the magnet receiver.
Using the drilling template:-
Proceed as follows when applying the panel to the appliance:
-
To trace the positions of the holes on the left hand side of the panel, align the drilling
template to the top left side of the panel, using the lines traced on the extremities as a
reference.
-
-
To trace the positions of the holes on the right hand side of the panel, align the drilling
template to the top right side of the panel.
Use an appropriately sized router to mill the holes for the two hinges, the rubber plug and
the magnet.
Mounting the parts onto the wooden door panel:-
-
Insert the hinges into the holes (NB. the movable part of the hinge must be positioned
facing away from the panel) and fasten them with the 4 type A screws.
-
Insert the magnet into the top hole on the opposite side of the hinges and fasten it with
the 2 type B screws.
-
-
Insert the rubber plug into the bottom hole.
The panel is now ready to be mounted onto the machine.
Mounting the panel onto the machine:-
-
Insert the nib of the hinge (indicated by the arrow in Fig.2) into the hole for the hinge and
push the panel towards the front of the machine. Fasten the two hinges with the type D
screws.
Fastening the plinth guide:-
If the machine is installed at the end of a set of modular cabinets, mount either one or both of
the guides for the base moulding (as shown, Fig.6).
Adjust them for depth, based on the position of the base moulding and if necessary fasten the
base to the guides (Fig.7).
This is how to assemble the plinth guide (Fig.6).
-
Fasten angle P using screw R, insert plinth guide Q into the special slot and once it is in the
desired position, lock it in place using angle P and screw R.

Regulate the adjustable feet to raise the machine to the appropriate height.
To adjust the position of the wooden panel in both the vertical and horizontal directions,
use the C and D screws, as shown in Fig.9.
Important: Close the lower part of the appliance front by ensuring that the plinth rests against the
floor.
Fig. 8
Fig. 9
Move the appliance into position, care must be taken that the Water Supply pipes and the
Drainage hose are not kinked or trapped.
Direct the mains cable towards the electrical socket to be used but DO NOT plug in at this
stage.
There must be at least 2mm clearance at the sides and top of the appliance. The back of
the appliance must also remain some distance away from the back wall. If the recessing cavity
is higher than 820mm, the opening between the floor and sides of the appliance (when
installed at the end of a line of furniture) must be completely closed in.

vii. Levelling...
Adjust the feet until all four feet are in firm contact with the floor ensuring the
appliance stands level in every direction. You can check this using a spirit level.
We recommend you level the appliance to prevent vibration being transmitted to
the surrounding furniture, check that the sides and the top of the appliance are
unable to touch the furniture.
Accessories provided for height adjustment
The following can be found inside the polystyrene lid (Fig.10):
2 x crossbars (G)
1 x strip (M)
The following can be found inside the appliance drum:
4 x adjustable feet (H)
4 x screws (I)
4 x screws (R)
4 x nuts (L)
2 x plinth guides (Q)
Adjusting the appliance height
The height can be adjusted (from 815mm to 835mm), by turning the 4 feet.
Should you require the appliance be placed higher than the above height you
need the following accessories to raise it up to 870mm:
- the 2 x crossbars (G)
- the 4 x adjustable feet (H)
- the 4 x screws (I)
- the 4 x nuts (L)
Then carry out the following steps (Fig.11):
Remove the 4 original feet, place a crossbar G at the front of the machine, fasten
it in place using screws I (screwing them in where the original feet were) then
insert the new feet H.
Repeat at the back of the appliance.
Now adjust the feet H to raise or lower the appliance from 835mm to 870mm.
Once you have reached the desired height lock the nuts L onto the crossbar G.
To adjust the appliance to a height between 870mm and 900mm you need to
mount strip M, adjusting feet H to the required height.
Insert strip M as follows: Loosen the three screws N situated at the front of the
top cover of the appliance, insert strip M as shown in Fig.12, then fasten screws

SPECIAL PROGRAMMES: ‘A’Wash Performance - This machine has a special programme which allows you to obtain optimum results even at low temperatures. By setting
programme 4 at a temperature of 40˚C, you will get the same results as you would normally obtain at 60˚C, thanks to the machines action and the length of the wash cycle.

NB. Choose ‘low suds’ automatic powder,

as excessive suds occur.
The dispenser drawer is opened by rotating outwards.
Adding Detergent
ꢀ
(1) Pre-wash tray (powder) and (2) Main wash detergent tray (powder or liquid)
To obtain the desired wash results and optimum detergent consumption, determine the
amount of detergent in relation to the water hardness in your area, the type and quantity of
laundry and its degree of soiling. Detergent packages indicate the amount, according to four
levels of hardness and for normal soiled loads from 4 - 5 kg. Contact your local water board for
information concerning the degree of water hardness in your area.
Follow all detergent manufacturers dosage recommendations.
For normal soiling, choose a programme without pre-washing, add detergent to compartment
2. For heavily soiled loads choose a programme with pre-washing, add detergent to
compartments 1 and 2.

If there is no indication of recommended dosage for a delicate wash, use /
2
to /3 of the
recommended dosage indicated for wash resistant cotton fabrics.
For a wool programme we recommend that you only use neutral detergents for wool and
follow the detergent manufacturers recommended dosage.
ꢀ
(3) Fabric conditioner
The conditioner is designed to make your clothes soft and pleasant smelling. Do not
exceed the maximum level indicated.
Overdosing the amount of detergent does not improve the quality of the wash and could
cause excessive suds potentially leading to an overflow.
The dispenser can be removed and cleaned (see Cleaning section, page 21).
NB. When washing with cold water, always reduce the amount of detergent you use - it dissolves
less easily in cold water than in hot water, so some would be wasted.

Wool drying cycle
The drying cycle for woollen garments should only, and exclusively, be run together with the
selection of a specific cycle time (150 - 100 - 60 - 40 minutes).
We recommend a 60 minute drying cycle for a 1kg load.
If one of the three levels (Extra Dry
, Hanger Dry
, Iron
) is selected by mistake, the
appliance will run a drying cycle lasting the Max. time foreseen (150 minutes).
Important
A spin cycle is carried out during the drying if you have set a cotton programme and a level of
dryness (Extra Dry , Hanger Dry , Iron
).

Washcare tips
Cutting costs effectively:-
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Maximise the load size Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using
the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load
instead of 2 half loads.
Do you need a pre-wash? For heavily soiled laundry only! Save detergent, time, water and
between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting pre-wash for slight to normal
soiled laundry.
Is a hot wash required? Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water
before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save up to 50% energy
by using a 60˚C wash programme.
Before using a drying programme Save energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to
reduce the water content before using a drying programme (Washer Dryer only).
Washing
Before washing laundry:-
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Pre-treat stains.
Close zips, fasten belts, tie strings etc... and press studs to prevent tangling.
Remove all items from pockets.
Limit size of absorbent loads to give good washing/rinsing results.
Place small items in a wash bag.
Check wash labels as some items may require a cool programme.
Wash non-colour fast items, woollens or really dirty clothes separately as they may affect
other items.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Laundry will not wash properly if you over load your appliance.
Laundry without a wash label should not be machine washed.
Drying
(Washer Dryer only)
To carry out a drying only programme the laundry must previously have been washed and
spun.
ꢀ
When drying bedspreads, single blankets etc... we recommend that you remove, shake and
reload during the cycle to ensure faster and more even drying.
Starched articles should be dried together to avoid distribution of starch onto non-starched
items.
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Be careful not to over dry.
After you have dried a particularly ‘fluffy’ load or you have used the machine as a dryer only,
you MUST, after the load has been removed, set your machine to rinse and spin.
Items Not Suitable For Tumble Drying
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Garments with the ITCL code -DO NOT TUMBLE DRY
Woollens - except on special dry programme (see page 16).
Large bulky items eg. quilts, bedspreads pillows etc... expand when dry, preventing
air flow through the appliance.
ꢀ
Items containing plastic film, foam rubber or rubber like materials eg. pillows, cushions,
PVC rainwear or inflammable articles which contain inflammable substances eg. towels
contaminated with hair lacquer.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Fibreglass (eg. some types of curtains).
Items which have been dry cleaned.
