4. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut.  
After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the  
ring nut again to prevent leaks.  
Plumbing In  
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 a suitable existing tap with the  
drain hose discharging into a sink.  
5. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread.  
Always use the hose supplied with the appliance.  
The appliance has an 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.  
P1088  
Installation should comply with local water authority  
and building regulations’ requirements.  
Water inlet  
The appliance must be connected to a cold  
water supply.  
An inlet hose is supplied and can been found inside the  
machine drum.  
A minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar is required for  
safe operation of the appliance.  
Do not use the hose from your previous  
machine to connect to the water supply.  
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.  
1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose .  
2. Connect the hose with the angled connection to the  
machine.  
There should be a minimum vertical distance of 5.02m  
(16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom  
of the water storage tank.  
Water drainage  
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed  
into your home's drainage system using one of the  
following methods.

HEC0024  
3. Remove the security gasket cup by turning and  
pulling it away. Pay attention not to move or remove  
the gasket.

Important!  
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle  
the hose to the left or right depending on the  
position of your water tap.  
Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should  
have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm thus  
ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose  
and standpipe.

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.  
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top  
of the standpipe is no more than 90cm (35.4'') and no  
less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level.

HEC0012  
P1198  
Important  
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.  
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.  
If your drain hose looks like this (see below) you do  
not require the “U” piece”. Just push the hose firmly  
into the standpipe.  
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.  
If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.  
P1212  
2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.  
If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove  
any blanking plug that may be in place.  
HEC007S  
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.  
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, (see note on  
positioning), noise and displacement of the machine  
during operation.

exist:  
Turn the programme selector dial to Reset “Off” to  
switch the machine off.  
Remove the laundry from the washing machine.  
• the washing machine is not in the heating phase  
beyond 55°C;  
Check whether the drum is completely empty, by  
rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to  
prevent any items of laundry from remaining  
accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged  
in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour  
into another load of laundry.  
• the level of the water is not high;  
If these requirements are met, when you pause the  
washing machine, the “Door lock” light goes off and  
the door can be opened.  
We advise you to close the water supply tap and  
disconnect the plug from the socket.  
Should it not be possible to open the door, and should  
it be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine  
off by turning the selector dial to “Off”.  
Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing  
machine.  
After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door.  
Pay attention to the level and temperature of  
the water in the washing machine!  
When you close the door to restart the programme  
turn the dial to the previous programme repeating the  
options previously selected and press Start/Pause  
button.

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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Maintenance and cleaning  
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the  
electricity supply, before you can carry out any  
cleaning or maintenance work.  
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.  
SM004  
SM005  
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  
Cleaning the pump  
The pump should be inspected if  
To run a maintenance wash:  
The drum should be empty of laundry.  
Select the hottest cotton wash programme.  
• 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.  
Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a  
powder (such as Ariel Futur).  
Proceed as follows:  
External cleaning  
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap  
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.  
• 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.  
• Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in the  
container and remove its cap.  
24  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
• When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump  
cover and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry  
up spillage of water when removing the cover.  
Tighten up the inlet hose.  
P1090  
P1115  
The dangers of freezing  
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,  
certain precautions should be taken.  
Remove any objects from the pump impeller by  
rotating it.  
Turn off the water tap.  
Unscrew the inlet hose.  
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.  
Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition  
the emergency emptying hose after having put the  
cap on again.  
When you intend to start the machine up again,  
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.  
• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose  
and place the latter back in its seat.  
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.  
P1117  
Emergency emptying out  
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to  
empty out the machine:  
• Screw the pump cover fully in.  
• Close the pump door.  
• Pull out the plug from the power socket;  
• Close the water tap;  
Warning  
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  
• Clean the pump if necessary as previously described;  
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime  
deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.  
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.  
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose.  
Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.  
• Replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after  
having plugged it;  
• Screw the pump cover again and close the door.

Symptom  
Solution  
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 and stable (check diagonally).  
The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.  
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.  
The door will not open  
The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.  
The machine is heating the water.  
The drum is turning.

light has gone out.  
The electronic balance control device has cut in because the laundry is  
Spinning starts late or the  
machine does not spin  
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 few  
minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the  
machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and  
select 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.
