65 - 100 cm

Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp

fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp

socket for immediate use. Before using the

appliance please read the instructions below.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

EARTHED.

The drain hose may

be connected to an

under-sink trap. Be-

fore connecting the

drain hose from the

machine ensure that

any blanks or remo-

vable ends have been

taken off the spigot.

THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD

BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRI-

CIAN.

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

Replacement fuse covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be

of the correct colour as indicated by the colou-

red 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.

If it is placed over

the edge of a basin

or sink be sure the

free end of the hose

should not be under-

water.

Removing the plug:

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moul-

ded plug and you should wish to re-route the

mains cable through partitions, units etc.,

please ensure 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 standpipe, that the end does not go down

more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pu-

shed 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

rewireable plug bearing the BSI mark of ap-

proval.

or:

the mains cable is wired directly into a 13

amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in

compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible

without moving the appliance.

Disposing of the plug:

Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself,

you make the pins unusable so that it cannot

be accidentally inserted into a socket.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains

socket, make sure that:

Precautions and tips

! This washing machine was designed and constructed in

accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-

lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must

therefore be read carefully.

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. Chil-

dren shall not play with the appliance. Clea-

ning and user maintenance shall not be made

by children without supervision.

• 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 extreme-

ly 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 washing machine, make

sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

•Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regu-

lations so that the packaging may be re-used.

•The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical

and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household

electrical 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 im-

pact 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.

Extra Rinse

By selecting this function, the efficiency of the rinse is

increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It

is particularly useful for sensitive skin.

! It cannot be used with the “Fast Wash 30’”, “Spin”,

Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial

phase of the cycle, and because of the increased cycle

duration, this function offers a high-performance wash.

Delicate Wash

Eco Wash

For a more gentle treatment of fabrics, this function will

reduce the mechanical handling of the cycle to ensure

perfect washing results for delicate garments.

The Eco Wash 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.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Special wash cycles

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of

detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily

result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause a

build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to

environmental pollution.

Cotton Standard 20°: ideal for lightly soiled cotton

loads. The effective performance levels achieved at cold

temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°,

are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at

varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.

Baby: use the special wash cycle to remove the remove

the soiling typically caused by babies, while removing all

traces of detergent from nappies in order to prevent the

delicate skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. The

cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria

by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the

effect of special disinfecting additives added to the deter-

gent.

! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-

washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.

! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.

! Do not use hand washing detergents because these

create too much foam.

Open the detergent di-

spenser drawer and pour

in the detergent or washing

additive, as follows.

Bed&Bath: use programme

to wash bed linen and to-

wels in one single cycle: it optimises softener performance

and helps you save time and energy. We recommend the

use of powder detergent.

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme

, even those carrying the “hand-wash only”

label.

For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed

1.5 kg of laundry.

Silk: use special wash cycle

to wash all silk garments.

We recommend the use of special detergent which has

been designed to wash delicate clothes.

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.

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

washing machine 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.

Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to:

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label

- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.

• Do not exceed the values listed in the “Table of wash

cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when

dry.

How much does your laundry weigh?

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 machine 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 di-

spenser.

• 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 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.

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.

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 machine 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/pro-

gress).

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 indica-

ted on pages 2 to 4.

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.
