immediate use. Before using the appliance please
read the instructions below.
The drain hose may
be connected to an
under-sink trap. Before
connecting the drain
hose from the machine
ensure that any blan-
ks or removable ends
have been taken off the

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EAR-
THED.
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE
CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Replacing the fuse:
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA
approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be
used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse
cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a
replacement is obtained.
Where it connects to
the waste water pipe
cut end off spigot or
remove the blanking cap
If it is placed over the
edge of a basin or sink
be sure the free end of
the hose should not
be underwater.
Replacement fuse covers:
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of
the correct colour as indicated by the coloured
marking or the colour that is embossed in words
on the base of the plug. Replacements can be
obtained directly from your nearest Service Depot.
Removing the plug:
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded
plug and you should wish to re-route the mains
cable through partitions, units etc., please en-
sure that either:
!We advise against the use of hose extensions; in
case of absolute need, the extension must have
the same diameter as the original hose and must
not exceed 150 cm in length.
Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a stan-
dpipe, that the end does not go down more than
15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down too
far, this may cause the machine to self -syphon
ie. continuously empty as it is filling.
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewi-
reable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.
or:
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp
cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in complian-
ce with BS 5733) which is accessible without
moving the appliance.
Disposing of the plug:

Instructions for the fitter
GB
Mounting the wooden panel onto the door
and inserting the machine into cabinets:
In the case where the machine must be shipped
for final installation after the wooden panel has
been mounted, we suggest leaving it in its ori-
ginal packaging. The packaging was designed
to make it possible to mount the wooden panel
onto the machine without removing it completely
(see figures below).
The wooden panel that covers the face of
the machine must not be less than 18 mm in
thickness and can be hinged on either the right
or left. For the sake of practicality when using
the machine, we recommend that the panel be
hinged on the same side as the door for the
machine itself - the left.

Fastening the plinth guide.
The height of the appliance can be adjusted (from
815 mm to 835 mm), by turning the 4 feet.
Should you require the appliance to be placed
higher than the above height, you need to use the
following accessories to raise it to up to 870 mm:
Thetwocrossbars (G);the4feet(H);the4screws(I);the
4nuts(L)thenperformthefollowingoperations(fig.11):
remove the 4 original feet, place a crossbar G at
the front of the appliance, fastening it in place
using screws I (screwing them in where the ori-
ginal feet were) then insert the new feet H.
Repeatthesameoperationatthebackoftheappliance.
Now adjust feet H to raise or lower the appliance
from 835 mm to 870 mm.
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 molding (as shown in fig.

GB
1. unscrew the lid
by rotating it anti-
clockwise (see figu-
re): a little water may
trickle out. This is
perfectly normal;
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system
inside the washer dryer and help to prevent
leaks.
• Unplug the washer dryer when cleaning it
and during all maintenance work.
Cleaning the washer dryer
2. clean the inside thoroughly;
3. screw the lid back on;
The outer parts and rubber components of the
appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth
soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use
solvents or abrasives.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If
there are any cracks, it should be replaced
immediately: during the wash cycles, water
pressure is very strong and a cracked hose
could easily split open.

Caring for the door and drum of
your appliance
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order
to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washer dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning
pump which does not require any maintenan-
ce. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or
buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which
protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and
unplug the appliance.

Precautions and tips
• During the drying phase, the door tends to get quite hot.
! This washer dryer was designed and constructed in ac-
cordance with international safety regulations. The following
information is provided for safety reasons and must therefore
be read carefully.
GB
• Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have been
washed with flammable solvents (e.g. trichlorethylene).
• Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or similar
elastomers.
• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during the drying
cycles.
General safety
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
• This appliance can be used by children aged
from 8 years and above and persons with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental capabilities
or lack of experience and knowledge if they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way
and understand the hazards involved. Children
shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and
user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regu-
lations so that the packaging may be re-used.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household electri-
cal appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted
municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected
separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of
the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human
health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin”
symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that
when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their
old appliance.
- Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
- Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking
oil,acetone,alcohol,petrol,kerosene,spotremovers,turpentine,
waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with
an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble
dryer.
- Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, water-
prooftextiles,rubberbackedarticlesandclothesorpillowsfitted
with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
- Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as spe-
cified by the fabric softener instructions.
- The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat
(cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a tem-
perature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread
out so that the heat is dissipated.
Opening the porthole door manually
In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole door
due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the laundry,
proceed as follows:
1. remove the plug from the electrical socket.
2. make sure the water level inside the machine is lower than
the door opening; if it is not, remove excess water using the
drain hose, collecting it in a bucket.
3. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, until
the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull down-
wards and open the door at the same time.
• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or
damp hands or feet.
• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging
the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug and
pull.
• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the
machine is in operation.
• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extremely
high temperatures.
• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the safety
lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental opening.
• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circum-
stances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt to
repair it yourself.
• Always keep children well away from the appliance while
it is operating.
• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.
• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two
or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never
try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.
• Before loading laundry into the washer dryer, make sure
the drum is empty.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors such
as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.
For all Test Institutes:
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 50229: set wash cycle
2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 40°C (2nd press of the button).

Wash functions
Reduced Creases
By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be
modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end
of the cycle the washer dryer will perform slow rotations of the
drum; the EASY IRON indicator light will switch on, the START/
PAUSE indicator light will flash in an orange colour and the text
“END OF CYCLE” will appear on the display. To end the cycle,
press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.
Eco Wash
The Eco function saves energy by not heating the water used
to wash your laundry – an advantage both to the environment
and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified wash action and
water optimisation ensure great wash results in the same
average time of a standard cycle. For the best washing results
we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.

Extra rinse
By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased
and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly
useful for sensitive skin.

Detergents and laundry
Delicates: use programme
garments having strasses or sequins.

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-
rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to
environmental pollution.
To wash Silk garments and Curtains (these should be
folded and placed inside the bag provided), select cycle
and then option “Reduced Creases” (in this case it will
also be possible to enable the “Extra Rinse” option); the
machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking and
the “Reduced Creases” indicator light will flash. To drain the
water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/
PAUSE button or the “Reduced Creases” button.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Open the detergent di-
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function,
a drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle
that is particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and
appropriate temperature control of the water jet.
The recommended durations are:
spenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
*
1
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 160 min
2
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric
composition.
Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Hotpoint machine has
been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company
for washing wool garments labelled as hand washable
provided that the garments are washed according to the
instructions on the garment label and those issued by the
manufacturer of this washing machine. Hotpoint is the first
washing machine brand to be approved by The Woolmark
Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for its washing per-
formance and consumption of energy and water (M1126)
!Do not pour detergent into the middle compartment (*).
Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 1.
compartment 1: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
For best results liquid detergent should be poured in the
dispenser immediately before the start of the programme.
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
Preparing the laundry
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark
is a Certification trade mark.
• Divide the laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
Ready to Wear: select programme
(2nd press of the button)
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.
• Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight
of the laundry when dry: see “Table of wash cycles”.
for washing and drying lightly soiled garments (Cotton and
Synthetic) in a short time. This cycle may be used to wash
and dry a laundry load of up to 1 kg in just 60 minutes.
To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-
treat cuffs, collars and stains.
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the
washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load
is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced
spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washer
dryer performs the distribution process instead of spinning.
To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we
recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
Special wash cycles
Anti Stain : this programme is suitable to heavily-soiled
garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing
class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When
running the programme, do not mix garments of different
colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent.
Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if
there are obstinate stains.

Troubleshooting
Your washing machine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure
that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list.
GB
Problem:
The machine does not switch on.
Possible causes / Solutions:
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.
• There is no power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug.
The wash cycle does not start.
• The door is not closed properly.
• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.
• The ‘DELAY TIMER’ has been selected.
• The ‘CHILD LOCK’ is activated (see ‘The machine just ‘beeps’ when a pro-
gramme or option is selected’ below).
The machine does not dry.
• Check the 2 sections above.
• The ‘DRY’ button has been pressed to exclude drying.
The clothes are too hot when the
drying cycle is finished.
• A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle. If the
clothes appear too hot to handle leave the door open to allow to cool further
before removing from the machine.
The machine does not fill with water • The water inlet hose is kinked.
or ‘No Water, Check Supply’ is
shown in the display window.
• The water inlet hose is not connected to the water supply.
• The water pressure is too low.
• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.
• There is no water supply to the house.
• The inlet valve filter is blocked.
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
The machine continuously fills with • The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between 65

and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).
• The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to run
into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of
the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose.
• The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the
‘U’ bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of the drain hose.
The machine does not drain or spin - • The Pump filter is blocked - (see Care & Maintenance).
‘START/PAUSE’ flashing orange.
• The drain hose is kinked.
• New Installation - The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed if con-
nected under a sink.
• The drain hose or sink trap is blocked.
The machine does spin.
• The spin speed is set to “OFF”.
The machine does not drain or spin -
‘REDUCED CREASES’ & ‘START/
PAUSE’ flashing orange and messa-
ge in display.
• The ‘REDUCED CREASES’ option is enabled, at the end of the program the
machine drum will rotate slowly and ‘END OF CYCLE’ will appear in the display.
To complete the program press either the ‘REDUCED CREASES’ or the ‘EASY
IRON’ buttons (see Wash Cycles & Functions).
• The ‘SILK/CURTAINS’ program is selected, at the end of the program it will not drain
and ‘RINSE HOLD’ will appear in the display. To complete the program press either the
‘START/PAUSE’ or ‘REDUCED CREASES’ buttons (see Wash Cycles & Functions).
The wash programme takes too long. • Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water temperature
and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the programme time ac-
cordingly (see ‘The machine wont spin properly’ below) - (Most Common Cause!).
The Display sticks at one ‘time to
end’ for more than 1 Minute or the
Display changes the estimated ‘Time
to End’ during the programme.
• The display time is for guidance only - it is not a precise time to finish
and may vary.

• Theloadisinaslightoutofbalanceconditionandmachineisspinning,butatalowerspeed.
The machine is noisy.
• There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin.
The machine wont spin properly.
• Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this happens the ma-
chine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the load required before the machine
will go into higher spin speeds - This will increase the programme time accordingly. This is
a safety feature to prevent damage. Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single
heavy item (eg duvet, quilt, etc). - Try the programme again using a different load.
The machine leaks from the
dispenser.
• The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning.
• The water pressure is too high and requires turning down - turn down the tap
on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.
• The machine is tilting forwards - It must be level when in its final position.
• The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends.
• The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the fill
hose is missing the rubber washer.
The machine leaks (other than
dispenser).
• The drain hose is not fixed in properly.
Themachineislockedandanerrorcode
appearsonthedisplay (egF-01,F-..).
• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then switch it
back on again If the problem persists contact the Technical Assistance Service.
The machine smells.
• The machine requires a service wash. Run a 60 degree wash cycle with deter-
gent and no laundry.
The machine door cannot be
opened.
• The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out shortly after
the program has finished.
• If there is no power to the machine you need to perform the manual unlocking
procedure (see Precautions & Tips).
Door Seal damaged at the bottom.
• The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.
• The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door.
The water level is too low when
the machine is washing.
The word ‘DEMO ON’ appears in-
termittently in the display window
and the drum slowly turns.
• To exit, switch machine off, then press and hold ‘ON/OFF’ and ‘START/PAUSE’
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. Note the machine will need the langua-
ge resetting.
The machine just ‘beeps’ when a
programme or option is selected
(Child Lock Symbol is lit).
• Deactivate the Child Lock feature by pressing and holding in the ‘CHILD
LOCK’ button for 2 seconds.
There is too much foam.
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text
‘for washing machines’ or ‘hand and machine wash’ or the like).
• Too much detergent was used - less detergent is required in soft water.
After completing the programme, or
before starting a programme, the ma-
chine has turned itself off (no lights).
• To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an
automatic standby system. Press ‘ON/OFF’ button for 3 seconds to activate
the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected.
General.
• Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash
cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/progress).
Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to
be anything wrong!
Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, as listed above.
Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage the machine.
Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that are not intended as machine washable.
