STEP 1
WARNING: The appliance must be earthed.
Fuses
Your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13 amp (13A) fuse. If
you need to replace the fuse, use only those rated at 13 amp (13A)
and ASTA approved to BS1362. To change the fuse lift the holder to
vertical position and lift the fuse out. To replace the fuse, insert the
fuse and push fuse holder down into the locked position. Correct
replacement is identified by colour coding or the marking on base of

Changing the Plug
If you need to change your plug, if it does not fit your socket: isolate
the machine from the mains supply. Cut off the supplied plug and
safely dispose of the discarded plug. DO NOT plug into any other
socket.
NOTE: If you change the plug, the colour of wires in the mains lead
may not match the colour of the markings which show the different
terminals in the plug.You must wire it as shown below:
Green and yellow (Earth)
wire to terminal marked ‘E’,
symbol , or coloured
green and yellow.
13A ASTA approved fuse to
BS1362.
Brown (Live) wire to terminal
marked ‘L’ or coloured red.

Automatic Features...
Auto half load
Auto half load saves you time and money when washing smaller loads.
Water levels are automatically adjusted to cater for the different loads.
Unbalanced load
Your machine has an inbuilt feature to prevent it spinning with an unbalanced load. This will minimise excessive vibration and
prolong the life of the machine. Before each spin the machine ‘senses’ the load within the drum and if the machine considers the
load to be unbalanced, it will not automatically spin. Instead the machine will try to redistribute the load to achieve balance by
tumbling backwards and forwards. If it is unable to balance the load after the sixth attempt the machine will abort the spin
process.
If this safety feature is encountered you can spin the load after first opening the door, redistributing the load and selecting a fast or
slow, spin only programme. In the case of small loads or single items you may try adding some extra items of a comparable size to
help balance the load.
