Preparing the wash cycle Preparing your garments for washing o Your washing should be sorted out, according to the fabric type and the wash care symbol that is printed on the garment’s wash care label. (see separate section on wash care symbols). o Your washing should also be sorted out according to the degree of soiling. o Check all pockets on a garment to make sure that they are empty. o Remove any detachable metal items (badges, paperclips, safety pins etc).
A selection of wash care symbols o The wash care symbols should be used to help you to select the most suitable wash program. They will also help you to sort your laundry into different loads, depending on the fabric type and the highest temperature which the garment can be washed at. o If the wash care label does not appear in the above table, then please refer to the washing machine program chart.
Detergents and conditioners The amount of detergent that you need to use in your appliance, will depend on o The degree of soiling. Lightly soiled garments in general require less detergent. o The size of the wash load. A smaller wash load will require a reduction in the amount of detergent. o The hardness of your tap water. The harder your water is, then the more detergent you will need to use.
NOTE: the KWh and litre consumptions and program durations may vary depending on the type and amount of clothes being washed, your mains water pressure, etc. (*) Program for wash and energy consumption assessment, in accordance with standard EN60456 (press intensive wash button).

o The active phases will appear at the top of the display, as the wash program progresses. The time remaining until the end of the program will update throughout the wash cycle. Please note that it does not count down in “real time”. o Any program option can be selected once the wash cycle is already in progress, providing that the stage in the wash cycle that the option will effect has not already passed.

Cleaning the drain pump filter IMPORTANT: Switch off your washing machine and disconnect the plug from your mains supply. You should clean out the filter approximately every twenty washes. If the drain pump filter is not cleaned regularly, then your appliance may find it difficult to pump out water efficiently. Use a coin to turn the filter cap. Pull out the filter cap. Place a container under the drain pump filter, to collect any excess water that may come out of the drain pump when it is removed.
Remove the filter and rinse out the filter under the tap. Remove any debris from the filter. Remove any debris that is in the area of the appliance that you removed the drain pump filter from. Screw the filter clockwise back into position, making sure that it is fully tightened. You should keep turning until you cannot turn it any further. Refit the filter cap. IMPORTANT: Do not perform this operation if the appliance has stuck on a cycle, until the water inside the machine has cooled sufficiently.
9 Locate the three transit bolts that secure the drum in position, whilst the appliance is being transported. 9 Using a screwdriver, unscrew the three plastic transit bolt covers. 9 Loosen and remove the three transit bolts. 9 Using a screwdriver, refit the three plastic transit bolt covers that you removed previously. IMPORTANT: The transit bolts MUST be removed before your washing machine is used for the first time.
Positioning and leveling the appliance 9 Place the washing machine on a solid and level floor surface. 9 DO NOT PLACE THE WASHING MACHINE ON A CARPET. 9 Loosen the adjustable feet that are positioned on the base of the appliance. 9 Slacken off the lock nut on each of the washing machine feet using a spanner. 9 Adjust the feet to level off the washing machine. 9 Once leveled correctly, you should tighten the lock nut back up on each of the washing machine feet using a spanner.
Connecting to the mains water supply 9 The water inlet hose will be inside the drum of your washing machine, when you receive the appliance. 9 Connect and fully tighten the inlet hose to the threaded inlet valve that is located at the rear of the washing machine. You should connect the end with the right angle connector on it to the back of your appliance.
Water outlet 9 Secure the drain hose, so that it cannot move whilst the washing machine is in use. 9 Place the end of the drain hose on your drain pipe. Push it a short way down into your drain pipe. 9 IMPORTANT: Do not insert the drain hose too deeply into the water pipe, as this may cause siphoning. 9 NEVER EXTEND THE DRAINAGE HOSE FROM ITS ORIGINAL LENGTH.
Power supply 9 IMPORTANT: As your appliance is a built in product, the electrical socket must still be accessible once the appliance is installed. 9 Consult the rating plate, located on the inner rim of the porthole door of the appliance BEFORE making the electrical connections. Ensure that the voltage reaching the plug, is the same as that on the rating plate. 9 DO NOT REMOVE THE RATING PLATE AS THE INFORMATION ON IT IS IMPORTANT.
Before first use maintenance wash o When your washing machine has been correctly installed, we recommend that you perform a maintenance wash cycle. o This will check that all aspects of the installation are correct; it will also remove any deposits that may have been left on the drum by the manufacturing process. o Select a Normal 90°C wash program. o A small quantity of detergent should be used during this maintenance wash.
