«BIG BOX» OR COMPACT
Which d et ergent t o u se?....
Compared to their traditional «Big Box»equivalents,
compacts (or concentrates as they are also known) have
an improved performance and environmental profile, as
well as requiring a smaller dosage level.
For most clothes and household textiles,
CONVENTIONAL DETERGENTS will give good
washing results. Conventional detergents are available in
either a biological, such as Ariel, or a non-biological
form, such as Fairy, and are particularly suitable for
whites. Biological detergents provide improved stain
removal, especially at lower temperatures.
For coloured clothes and household textiles, you should
use COLOUR DETERGENTS, like Ariel Color,
which are designed to maintain the original colour of
these items, as well as providing excellent cleaning
performance. These are all biological detergents. They
are particularly suitable for matching and co-ordinated
sets of lingerie, bedding or towels.
FABRIC CONDITIONERS
These are ideal for improving ‘softness’. They also
reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing
easier. Fabric Conditioners come in three forms:
Liquids (regular or concentrated) which work in the
final rinse.
Sheets for use in the tumble dryer, and
Combined Detergent and Fabric Softener
For washing wool and silk, COLOUR
DETERGENTS ARE NOT SUITABLE.
For wool items, you should use a GENTLE/FINE
WASH DETERGENT, such as Dreft, which has been
tested and approved by the International Wool
Secretariat and carries the ‘Woolmark’. A similar
detergent should also be used for silk.
Use o f d et ergent and add it ives
Choosing the Right Detergent
Always use a low lather powder or liquid. This is
important as too much lather prevents the articles from
being properly cleansed and may damage the machine.
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and
household textiles and to make them last longer, you
should use different types of detergent for different
washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.
Although this may require buying two or three different
products, you do not need to use any more powder, or
liquid, than if you were buying just one.
Use of Powder Detergent
The washing powder should be placed in the appropriate
compartments in the detergent dispenser drawer before
starting the programme.
Use of Liquid Detergent
A liquid detergent can be used in the middle
compartment of the dispenser drawer. Start the machine
immediately upon placing the liquid in the dispenser
drawer.
And in w hich fo r m ?
Not only are there different types of detergent, but they
are also available in different forms.
POWDERS OR LIQUIDS
Use of Fabric Conditioners
Powders and their liquid equivalent provide similar
cleaning properties, although liquids dissolve faster
when hand washing and at lower temperature washes.
Any liquid additives for softening or dressing the
laundry must be poured into the appropriate
compartment of the detergent dispenser drawer before
starting the programme.
BIOLOGICAL OR NON-BIOLOGICAL
All Biological detergents contain enzymes.
Different types of enzymes assist with the removal of
protein, starch and fat-based stains, such as blood, egg,
chocolate and gravy. However, some people prefer non-
biological detergents which do not contain enzymes.
The compartment with the symbol
and dressing agents; never exceed the MAX. Ievel.
is for softeners
When using super concentrated fabric conditioners,
please follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
LOW SUDS
In a front loading automatic washing machine, you
should only use a low suds detergent. The majority of
detergents are now low suds products.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity
supply.
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.
Aft er 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.
Ex t er nal cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning t he d isp enser d rawer
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.
Cleaning t he d rawer recess
Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean
C0002
C0003
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 for a
few minutes without any clothes in the drum.
P0038

Cleaning t he filt er
The water drain filter
A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of
the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every
washing programme.
Open the filter door and place a container underneath to
catch any spillage. 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 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.
P0132
P0011
Unscrew and remove the filter.
Clean carefully under a fast running tap.
Warning
When the appliance is in use and depending on the
programme 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
retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being
able to remove it.
P0133
P0040
The water inlet filters
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filters may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean them from time to
time.
Turn off the water taps. Unscrew the water inlet hoses.
Remove and clean the filters using a hard bristle brush.
Replace the filters and tighten up the inlet hoses.
P0041
The d anger s o f freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
■
Turn off the water taps.
■
Unscrew the inlet hoses.
■
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.
■
Disconnect the appliance.
■

allow the machine to spin.
■
There is water on the floor
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates too
much foam).
■
Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose(s) fittings.
It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check
to see if it is damp.
The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.
The detergent dispenser drawer or recess is clogged.
The drainage system pipes are blocked.
■
■
■
■
Unsatisfactory washing results
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An
insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and
causes lime scale to form.
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing
The correct wash programme has not been selected.
Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.
■
■
■
■
The machine vibrates when spinning
The internal packing has not been removed.

Possible causes
■
The door will not open
The programme is still running.
The door lock has not yet released (door pilot light on).
Water in the tub: the door cannot be opened if water is present in the

The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the
Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin
laundry is 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 10 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the
drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load
manually and reselect 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.
If after all these checks, the problem persists, contact
your local Service Force Centre, quoting the model and
serial number. This information can be found on the
rating plate (see picture).

Po sit io ning
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.
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
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.

Wat er 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 «A» supplied as per diagram.

If only a cold water supply is available, connect the two
hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a «Y»
connection piece.
P0003
P0021
Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations’ requirements.
The appliance must be given a separate cold water
supply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single
outlet water heater or a booster pump. A minimum
water pressure of 0.48 bar is required for safe operation
of the appliance.
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.
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m
(161/2 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom
of the water storage 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 prevent leaks.
Wat er d rainage
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed
into your home's water supply and drainage system.

The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe
with an internal diameter of approximately 38mm
(see diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break
between the drain hose and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of
the curve in the hose end is no more than 90cm (35.4'')
and no less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level. The
upright standpipe should have a minimum length of
30cm (12'') from the bottom of the elbow to the top of
the pipe (see diagram).

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 Force Centre.
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18mm.

Im portant
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.
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.
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a
wooden floor.
P0850
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,
always place the machine on a solid floor.
Sp ecial co nd it io ns
If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft
material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to
prevent noise, vibration or displacement. The base
should protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges of
the machine.
Warning
The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile
carpeting.
Note
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.
