INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Positioning
Before starting the machine up, the packing must be
removed as follows.
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 taps with the drain
hose discharging into a sink.
You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in
case the machine is to be transported again.
Using a spanner unscrew
and remove the rear right
bolt. Lay the machine
gently on its back, making
sure that the hoses are
not squashed.
The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold, with
female 3/4” BSP thread connectors. If this connection is
not compatible with the plumbing of the existing installa-
tion, a variety of connectors are available from good
hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suit most
domestic plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plum-
bing must be carried out by a competent person, or qua-
lified plumber.
P0255
Water inlet
The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded,
blue for cold and red for hot.
Before connecting the
hoses be sure to fit the
mesh filters supplied as
per diagram.

P0234
P0233
Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the
machine.
P0003
Carefully slide out the right polythene bag (1), removing
it toward the centre of the machine.
If only a cold water supply is available, connect the two
hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a «Y» connec-
tion piece.
Repeat the operation for the left polythene bag (2),
removing it toward the centre of the machine.
Installation should comply with local water authority and
building regulations’ requirements.
Remove the polystyrene
base, set the machine
upright and unscrew the
two remaining rear bolts.
The appliance must be given a separate cold water sup-
ply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single outlet
water heater or a booster pump. A minimum water pres-
sure of 7 psi is required for safe operation of the appli-
ance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from
the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appli-
ance from your cold water storage system.
P0256
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (161/2 ft)
between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the tank.
There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water supply,
providing there is a minimun height of 2.74 metres
(9 ft) between the bottom of the cold water storage tank
and the bottom of the hot water cylinder.
Set the hoses correctly by
loosening the ring nuts.
After positioning the inlet
hoses, be sure to tighten
the ring nuts again to pre-
vent leaks.

Special conditions
Water drainage
If the floor is carpeted with a deep-pile carpet or covered
with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid support base
under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or displace-
ment. The base should protrude a few centimetres
beyond the edges of the machine.
If you intend the drain hose from the machine to empty
into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and that the
plug hole is not blocked.
If the machine is permanently plumbed in, hook the end
of the hose into a standpipe installed for the purpose.
The standpipe must have an internal diameter of at least
40 mm (1 / ") in order that there is an air gap between

the drain hose and the standpipe. Make sure, that it is
designed in such a way, that the end of the drain hose
cannot be covered with water.
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 centre. The joining
piece must have an internal diameter of 18 mm.
Note
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a break-
down.
All plumbing and electrical work required to install this
appliance must be carried out by competent persons or
qualified plumbers or electricians.

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 authority drainage department.
Important
Before connecting up 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.
When discharging into a sink or a standpipe ensure that
the end of the drain hose is neither too high nor too low.
The top of the curve in the hose’s end should be no
more than 90 cm (35.4”), and no less than 60cm (23.6”)
above floor level.
Levelling
Level the washing ma-
chine by raising or low-
ering the feet. The feet

USE OF DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES
And in which form?
Which detergent?
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 com-
pact form is to own personal choice.
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from
your appliance, it is important to use the right deter-
gent 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 dif-
ferent washes, whether for whites, colours or deli-
cates.
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 compart-
ment of the detergent drawer marked with the sym-
Whites
We recommend the Ariel product
range which is biological and
designed to provide excellent
cleaning and stain removal even
at low temperatures.
bol
, start the machine immediately upon plac-
ing 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.
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 eco-
nomical 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 laun-
dry, 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 pro-
gramme.
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 wool-
lens 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 fab-
rics 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.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity
supply.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
■
Turn off the water taps.
Descaling
■
Unscrew the inlet hoses.
The water we normally use 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.
■
Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and
position the end of this hose and that of the inlet
hoses in a bowl. Run the draining programme until
the selector dial is in the “Stop” position.
■
Disconnect the appliance.
■
Screw the inlet hoses and reposition the drain hose.
■
When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
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 pre-
serve the door seal.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and
water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
From time to time the washing powder and additive
dispenser drawer should be cleaned.
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.

suring that all washing
powder residue is re-

Cleaning the filter
The water inlet filters
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime de-
posit, the water inlet filters may become clogged.
The water drain filter
It is therefore a good idea to clean them from time to
time.
A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of the
machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every
wash.
Turn off the water taps.
Unscrew the water inlet hoses.
Open the filter door and
place a container under-
neath to catch any spill-
age. If the filter is blocked
and the machine is unable
to drain you will need to
drain the water manually
from the machine at this
stage. To do this, unhook

and tighten up the inlet
hoses.

the drain hose from the

standpipe or sink and hold the end of the hose over a
bowl on the floor. The water should drain by gravity into
the bowl. When the bowl is full, hook the hose back up
and empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water
stops flowing out.
Unscrew and remove the filter.

Warning
When the appliance is in use and depending on the pro-
gramme selected there can be hot water in the filter.
Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always wait
until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty.
When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely retight-
ened so as to stop leaks and young children being able
to remove it.
