					WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.   
					THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE   
					CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.   
					65 - 100 cm   
					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.   
					alternatively, place it   
					over the edge of a   
					basin, sink or tub,   
					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.   
					fastening the duct   
					supplied to the tap   
					(see figure). The free   
					end of the hose should   
					not be underwater.   
					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 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.   
					the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere re-   
					wearable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.   
					or:   
					Electric connection   
					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.   
					Before plugging the appliance into the mains   
					socket, make sure that:   
					 the socket is earthed and in compliance with   
					the applicable law;   
					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.   
					 the socket is able to sustain the appliance's   
					maximum power load indicated in the Technical   
					details table (on the page 5);   
					Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative   
					plug:   
					 the supply voltage is included within the values   
					indicated on the Technical details table   
					(on the page 5);   
					Important: the wires in the mains lead are   
					coloured in accordance with the following code:   
					Green & Yellow E a r t h   
					 the socket is compatible with the washing   
					machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace   
					the socket or the plug.

					Once the appliance has been installed, and before   
					you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with   
					detergent and no laundry, setting the A   
					or   
					or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.   
					programme without a pre-wash cycle.   
					Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or   
					coloured Red.   
					Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or   
					coloured Black.   
					If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted   
					with a 13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or   
					at the distribution board.   
					If you are in any doubt the electrical supply to your   
					machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.   
					How to connect an alternative plug:   
					The wires in this mains lead are coloured in   
					accordance with the following code:

					Cycle phase under way:   
					During the wash cycle, the LEDs gradually illumi-   
					nate on to indicate the cycle phase under way:   
					G B   
					The LEDS provide important information.   
					This is what they can tell you:   
					Prewash   
					Wash   
					Delay set:   
					If the Delay Start function has been enabled (see   
					page. 11), once you have started the programme,   
					the LED corresponding to the delay set will begin   
					to flash:   
					Rinse   
					Spin   
					Note: during draining, the LED corresponding to   
					the Spin cycle phase will be turned on.   
					Function buttons   
					The FUNCTION BUTTONS also act like LEDS.   
					When a function is selected, the corresponding   
					button is illuminated.   
					As time passes, the remaining delay will be   
					displayed, and the corresponding LED will flash:   
					If the function selected is incompatible with the   
					programme set, the button will flash and the   
					function will not be enabled.   
					If you set a function that is incompatible with   
					another function you selected previously, only the   
					last one selected will be enabled.   
					Once the set delay is complete, the flashing LED   
					will turn off and the programme set will start.   
					ON-OFF/DOOR LOCKED led:   
					If this LED is on, the appliance door is locked to prevent it from being opened accidentally; to avoid any   
					damages, wait for the LED to flash before you open the appliance door.   
					! The rapid flashing of the ON-OFF/DOOR LOCKED Led together with the flashing of at least one other LED   
					indicates there is an abnormality (see page 13).

					Setting the temperature (Variable Temperature )   
					Turn the VARIABLE TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Programme table on page 8).   
					The temperature can be lowered, or even set to a cold wash (Cold).   
					G B   
					Setting the spin speed (Variable Spin speed)   
					Turn the VARIABLE SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the programme selected.   
					The maximum spin speeds for each programme are as follows:   
					Programmes   
					Cottons   
					Synthetics   
					Wool   
					Maximum spin speed   
					1600 rpm   
					800 rpm   
					600 rpm   
					no   
					Silk   
					The spin speed can be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting No Spin.   
					The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed higher than the maximum   
					speed for each programme.   
					Note: to avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform manner   
					by continuously rotating the drum at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed.   
					When, despite repeated attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower speed   
					than the set frequency.   
					If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine attempts to distribute it instead of spinning.   
					The balancing attempts may extend the total duration of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.   
					Functions   
					To enable a function:   
					1. press the button corresponding to the desired function, according to the table below;   
					2. the function is enabled when the corresponding button is illuminated.

					Detergent dispenser   
					Special items   
					G B   
					Good washing results also depend on the correct   
					dose of detergent: adding too much detergent   
					won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash,   
					and may in fact cause build up on the interior of   
					your appliance and even pollute the environment.   
					Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow   
					case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without   
					exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme   
					11 which excludes the spin cycle automatically.   
					Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are   
					padded with goose or duck down, they can be   
					machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out   
					and load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse   
					cycle once or twice and using the delicate spin   
					cycle.   
					Open up the detergent   
					dispenser and pour in   
					the detergent and   
					fabric softener, as   
					follows.   
					Trainers: remove any mud. They can be washed   
					together with jeans and other tough garments,   
					but not with whites.

					As gentle as a hand wash.   
					Hotpoint sets a new standard of superior   
					performance that has been endorsed by   
					The Woolmark Company with the prestigious   
					Woolmark Platinum Care brand. Look for the   
					Woolmark Platinum Care logo on the washing   
					machine to ensure you can safely and effectively   
					wash wool garments labelled as "hand wash"   
					(M.0303):   
					compartment 2: Detergent for the wash   
					cycle (powder or liquid)   
					Liquid detergent should only be poured in   
					immediately prior to the wash cycle start.   
					compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)   
					The fabric softener should not overflow from the   
					grid.   
					! Do not use hand wash detergent because it may   
					form too much foam.   
					Set programme 10 for all "Hand wash"   
					(max 1,5 kg) garments, using the appropriate   
					detergent.   
					Preparing your laundry   
					 Divide your laundry according to:   
					- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.   
					- the colours: separate coloured garments   
					from whites.   
					 Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.   
					 Do not exceed the weight limits stated below,   
					which refer to the weight when dry:

				Precautions and advice   
					! The washing machine was designed and built in   
					compliance with the applicable international   
					safety regulations. The following information is   
					provided for your safety and should consequently   
					be read carefully.   
					recovery and recycling of the materials they   
					G B   
					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.   
					General safety   
					 This appliance has been designed for non-   
					professional, household use and its functions   
					must not be changed.   
					Saving energy and respecting the   
					environment   
					 This washing machine should only be used by   
					adults and in accordance with the instructions   
					provided in this manual.   
					Environmentally-friendly technology   
					If you only see a little water through your   
					appliance door, this is because thanks to the   
					latest Hotpoint technology, your washing machine   
					only needs less than half the amount of water to   
					get the best results: an objective reached to   
					respect the environment.   
					 Never touch the washing machine when   
					barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet.   
					 Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug   
					the appliance from the electricity socket. Pull   
					the plug out yourself.   
					Saving on detergent, water, energy and time   
					 To avoid wasting resources, the washing   
					machine should be used with a full load. A full   
					load instead of two half loads allows you to save   
					up to 50% on energy.   
					 Do not open the detergent dispenser while the   
					appliance is in operation.   
					 Do not touch the drain water as it could reach   
					very high temperatures.   
					 Never force the washing machine door: this   
					could damage the safety lock mechanism   
					designed to prevent any accidental openings.   
					 The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on   
					extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save   
					on detergent, time, water and between 5 and   
					15% energy.   
					 In the event of a malfunction, do not under any   
					circumstances touch internal parts in order to   
					attempt repairs.   
					 Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving   
					them to soak before washing will cut down the   
					need to wash them at high temperatures. A   
					programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at   
					40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on   
					energy.   
					 Always keep children well away from the   
					appliance while in operation.   
					 The appliance door tends to get quite hot during   
					the wash cycle.   
					 Use the correct quantity of detergent   
					depending on the water hardness, how soiled   
					the garments are and the amount of laundry   
					you have, to avoid wastage and to protect the   
					environment: despite being biodegradable,   
					detergents do contain ingredients that alter   
					the natural balance of the environment. In   
					addition, avoid using fabric softener as much as   
					possible.   
					 Should it have to be moved, proceed with the   
					help 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 your laundry into the washing   
					machine, make sure the drum is empty.   
					Disposal   
					 If you use your washing machine from late in the   
					afternoon until the early hours of the morning,   
					you will help reduce the electricity board's peak   
					load. The Delay Timer option (see page 9) helps   
					to organise your wash cycles accordingly.   
					 Disposing of the packaging material:   
					observe local regulations, so the packaging can   
					be re-used.   
					 The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste   
					Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires

					possible in your laundry will save you time and   
					energy in the drying process.

				Care and maintenance   
					Cutting off the water or electricity   
					supply   
					Cleaning the pump   
					G B   
					The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning   
					pump that does not require any maintenance.   
					Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons)   
					may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the   
					pump, situated in the lower part of the same.   
					 
					Turn off the water tap after every wash. This   
					will limit the wear of your appliance's water   
					system and also prevent leaks.   
					 
					Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and   
					during all maintenance operations.   
					! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug   
					the appliance.   
					Cleaning your appliance   
					To access the pre-chamber:   
					The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can   
					be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm   
					soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.   
					1. using a screwdriver,   
					remove the cover panel   
					on the lower front of   
					the washing machine   
					(see figure);   
					Cleaning the detergent dispenser   
					Remove the dispenser   
					1 
					by raising it and pulling   
					it out (see figure).   
					Wash it under running   
					water; this operation   
					should be repeated   
					frequently.   
					2. unscrew the lid   
					rotating it anti-   
					clockwise (see figure):   
					a little water may   
					trickle out. This is   
					perfectly normal;   
					2 
					Caring for your appliance door and   
					drum   
					 
					Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent   
					unpleasant odours from forming.   
					3. clean the interior thoroughly;   
					4. screw the lid back on;   
					5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are   
					securely in place before you push it onto the   
					appliance.   
					Checking the water inlet hose   
					Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If   
					you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during   
					the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong   
					and a cracked hose could easily split open.   
					! Never use hoses that have already been used.

				Troubleshooting   
					Your washing machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see page 14), make sure the problem   
					can't easily be solved by consulting the following list.   
					G B   
					Possible causes/Solution:   
					Problem   
					 The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to   
					make contact.   
					 There has been a power failure.   
					The washing machine won't   
					s t a r t .   
					 The appliance door is not shut properly.   
					 The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.   
					 The START button has not been pressed.   
					 The water tap is not turned on.   
					The wash cycle won't start.   
					 A delayed start has been set (using the Delay Timer, see page 9).   
					 The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.   
					 The hose is bent.   
					The washing machine fails to   
					load water.   
					 The water tap is not turned on.   
					 There is a water shortage.   
					 The water pressure is insufficient.   
					 The START button has not been pressed.   
					 The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100 cm from the floor   
					(see page 3).   
					The washing machine   
					continuously loads and   
					unloads water.   
					 The free end of the hose is underwater (see page 3).   
					 The wall drainage system doesn't have a breather pipe.   
					If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water   
					tap, switch the appliance off and call for Assistance. If the dwelling is   
					on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be drain trap   
					problems causing the washing machine to load and unload water   
					continuously. In order to avoid such an inconvenience, special anti-   
					drain trap valves are available in shops.   
					 The programme does not foresee the draining: some programmes   
					require enabling the draining manually (see page 8).   
					 The Easy Iron function is enabled: to complete the programme,   
					press the START button (see page 9).   
					The washing machine does not   
					drain or spin.   
					 The drain hose is bent (see page 3).   
					 The drain duct is clogged.   
					 The drum was not unblocked correctly during installation (see page 2).   
					 The washing machine is not level (see page 2).   
					 The washing machine is closed in between furniture cabinets and   
					the wall (see page 2).   
					The washing machine vibrates   
					too much during the spin   
					c y c l e .   
					 The water inlet hose is not screwed on correctly (see page 2).   
					 The detergent dispenser is obstructed (to clean it, see page 12).   
					 The drain hose is not secured properly (see page 3).   
					The washing machine leaks.   
					 Switch off the machine and unplug the appliance; wait for   
					approximately 1 minute then switch it on again.   
					If the problem persists, contact Assistance.   
					The ON-OFF/DOOR LOCKED   
					Led flashes rapidly at the same   
					time as at least one other LED.   
					 The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should bear   
					the definition "for washing machines" or "hand and machine wash",   
					or the like).   
					There is too much foam.   
					 You used too much detergent.
